His cadence on the song was child-like, the track was cartoonish and the video was silly. The pot shots at the celebs and his mom momentarily raised an eye brow but overall it was harmless youthful brashness. When Eminem released the video for “My Name is,” it was fun and games. Legitimacy aside though, which one do you think is better? However, critics and fans alike have debated the authenticity of Em’s words for years and the two albums at the forefront of that discussion have always been The Slim Shady LP and the Marshal Mathers LP. Hell, you can’t listen to crazy Larry from marketing at the water cooler for 30 seconds, but you allow Slim Shady to whisper the most sinister of sweet nothings in your ear and you beg for more.Įminem’s music was never separating fact from fiction because he pulled you into the world he created everything was real. It’s a dark flash of fantasy insanity that can make you cringe in astonishment not only because he said what he said, but because you listened to and enjoyed every bar. When he pulls back the curtain and allows you to peer inside, it’s a marathon of psychosis song after song of brilliantly spun words that outline the brutal aftermath of abandonment and abuse. You love his razor sharp satirical wit but he’s full of wicked inspiration.
Eminem creates quite the conundrum for listeners.
