About
As of 2026, it's 27 years old.
The Slim Shady LP introduced the world to Eminem's chaotic alter ego and a level of cartoonish, deliberately offensive provocation that horrified parents and thrilled everyone else. Produced by Dr. Dre, it announced a rapper with jaw-dropping technical skill and zero interest in being polite about anything.
'My Name Is' made him a star overnight, and the album's blend of dark humor and virtuoso wordplay made it an instant, controversial phenomenon.
Shocking, brilliant, and gleefully offensive, The Slim Shady LP is the debut that announced Eminem as the most talented troublemaker in rap.
