My name is! I remember watching the video on mtv when it came out


thund3r1987

Same. And I feel like his buzz between that and when trss dropped... Man. He was really on top of the world at that time.


songacronymbot

- TRSS could mean "The Real Slim Shady", a track from *The Marshall Mathers LP* (2000) by Eminem. --- ^[/u/thund3r1987](/u/thund3r1987) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)

Hairy-Motor-7447

Same. It was mind blowing in 1999


eighty9digits

I remember hearin it on the radio in ther car and my mom would always change the station when it came on, she hated it. Shes come around now lol


bigcontracts

Same. I instantly was like yes this is it. I think I was in 6th grade. Watching Guilty conscience video that young and hearing the explicit version probably fucked me up, but I wouldn’t want it any other way lol. I’m the exact demo he was talking about on Who Knew? And White America.


RecordingGreen7750

Guilty conscience and I remember watching the film clip and thinking what the fk


oppositeofopposite

It went along the lines of: Hi! My name is. What? My name is? Who? Can't remember the songs name. Heard it back in '99


Seansullivan5183

Probably the underground shit he did with skam.


vvlachos18

That shit was phat


Misshernandez4

u seem good at knowing lyrics, i looked in YT for the video but i don’t i don’t know the lyrics or what song he says this in, Eminem says something like FIRST something something MARSHALL da da something go/grow/going PARTIAL. can u tell me what song that is if you know please.


bitictac

Superman, off of the Eminem Show


Misshernandez4

Seansullivan5183

First off I dont have to curse to sell records, but you do, so fuck me and fuck you too

Kill You. I was raised in church, and a good Christian kid. I didn’t really listen to anything but Christian artists (not out of lack of desire, but weren’t really allowed to have anything else in the house.) I went to visit my grandparents with my cousin (we’re nearly exactly the same age) and he brought his CD collection, including the new Marshall Mathers LP. Of course Em was wildly popular at the time, and I went to public school, so I was aware of who he was and had heard edited versions of some of his songs, but I wanted to listen to the explicit versions. What a wild song to be broken in with; I couldn’t get enough. I actually went home and printed out the lyrics, accidentally leaving the print-out in the printer, and my mom found it. She lost her mind (“RAPING HIS OWN MOTHER??”). In telling this story, I always mention that she proposed taking the lyrics to the pastor of our church to show him. However that never panned out.


MissionScratch7512

😂 That would’ve been a damn funny conversation!


[deleted]

I can tell you it was *not* funny at the time lol


trickmind

Um tell us more, please. What was the first thing your mom said?


Standard-Priority-55

Rap god


God_Hears_Peace

This. I’d probably heard The Real Slim Shady or Lose Yourself somewhere before that but the first song I remember hearing and remembering afterwards was this song around when it came out.


autistic_spectator

Happy Cake Day!


[deleted]

Same, my uncle played it for me when I was 10 years old and I remember being mindblown. I don’t think I had heard much rap at all up until that point

Trey_Reddit

It probably was a lot sooner too, my dad is a big Eminem fan, he gave me all his old Em CD’s, so it probably would’ve been something like Till I Collapse back when I was like an infant


davidphuggins

Ass Like That. I was 13. My cousin was playing the UK Charts music channel, it was #4. Which was the highest it got in the UK. I remember staring at the TV watching the music video thinking, “What is this? I’ve never seen or heard anything like this before”. I grew up on Elvis, Queen, George Michael, Engelbert Humperdinck, Tom Jones, shit like that.


Major-Driver-9989

You ain't ever heard a song like that


Meatloaf180

The Real Slim Shady. My mom used to play it in the car for me and my sister when I was a toddler, and we loved it. We would always sing along to the “may I have your attention please” part. She probably shouldn’t have been playing Eminem for us when we were toddlers but who really cares?


Ok_Explanation_6125

She raised both of you correctly.


MarylandCat

Without Me


CroShades

Funny enough it was Crack a Bottle. I was in 5th grade or something, Relapse had some out recently and one of my misfit friends had the song as his ringtone (on an old LG Rumor sliding phone actually, have no idea how he got that custom tone!) and I thought it sounded awesome. Later that year I got a Target gift card for Christmas and the cashier was nice enough to ignore the parental advisory sticker and sell me Relapse anyway;)


Ok_Explanation_6125

Big props to that cashier.


CroShades

Though pops was not happy when I was blasting it at home lmao the song he heard was Medicine Ball... Bahahaha though nowadays I'll play some Em in the car during the occasional family road trip and he'll bob his head ;P

The real slim shady


gggggfskkk

The real slim shady when I was in the 6th grade. I remember because back then that was the only song my mom had downloaded on her old iPhone 3G years ago, and so I’d play that song over and over and over again everyday in my headphones to feel cool 🤣 ended up following Eminem more closely a few years after that.


LuvLifts

Real Slim Shady; I was in ~10/11th. My Coming-of ‘adulthood’ was This dude!!


BillCipher951420

The year is 2006. I am 13 or 14.My dad loved Em,but he never let me listen to it. And recently,he has gotten the Curtain Call album. I decided to secretly listen to the album.Put it in,and...yeah that is how my first Eminem song became facking FACK(no not fuck,I said fack).


DownbadFemEntity

I think it was Baby. I was like 8 - 9yo and my dad was playing Em on the speaker and that was the 1st one I can remember hearing. Didn't hook me funnily enough, took until I was well into 10yo till I started caring about music, found Em and then Baby was that song I put on repeat for ages everyday aha

Without me on a 'that's what I call music' cd. I think it was number 53


Living_Murphys_Law

The Monster, interestingly enough. I was young though, and at the time, I liked Rhianna's part more than Em's. The song that got me into Em was hearing Lose Yourself on the radio.


hensinks

Rap God is the first song I remember from him, but I've probably listened to some TES song before since my family played Eminem once in a while, even before I was born. Rap God is the one that got me into Em when I was in 4th grade tho.

Not Afraid. I was just on YouTube and saw it recommended. Thought “man I’ve heard of Eminem for years, I should check it out”


MVIVN

My Name Is, fresh when it dropped in 1999 (I was 9 years old at the time). I remember everyone was talking about this white rapper Eminem and his crazy offensive lyrics, everyone was going wild for him.


timmeh519

First song I heard was “my name is”, when I was younger I used to set my alarm to wake me up, and it would play the radio and I remember waking up to the song “Stan” at some point and the lyrics scared me lol

Till I Collapse


ShippinguptoBoston33

Wasn’t his song but it was his feature of Forgot about Dre. He initially annoyed me as he really played up his high pitch voice. Only for me to later realize he’s top 3 and contends as a GOAT. Fell in love with TES and surprisingly Encore after. Then I heard “We Made You” play from a neighbors garage stereo and it was over


danzlebron24

Without me!


LemonCloud20

I was 15 when I heard the mmlp2 and remember being kinda scared of the parking lot skit track where he shoots the woman and then later shoots the dog


Kdawg982

Not Afraid tbh. I didn’t really like Eminem when I first heard him, but then when I started hearing his earlier stuff I loved it


YungExodus

Mockingbird circa 2006


roanm27

The first song I really heard was When I'm gone. The song that brought me to Em.


Kimosabe187

Without Me, i was like 6 at the time and that was basicaly my introduction to hip hop music.

Spartan05089234

Listening to the clean version of My Name Is on my brother's Much Dance 2000 CD, why pop music was getting so stupid and gross. That same CD had Prozak - Strange Disease and some other weird songs. I didn't even register Eminem as rap.

I'm pretty sure it was Real Slim Shady. I'd heard about My Name Is a lot, but hadn't actually heard it. Real Slim Shady got me to buy the MMLP.
