Description

Ok everybody this is the BIG ONE the very rare slim shady ep with loads of extra's. I originally purchased this album from a guy in detroit and kept hold of it ever since and never played it so that I was able to keep it in as good of a condition possible, however it has got 2 minor marks from when a previous owner has used it.

Due to the fact that I know this CD is going to go for a reasonable price because of it's raraty I have set the start price at 0.99 because I am confident with this sale.

The Slim Shady EP is a demo album released by the rapper Eminem in 1997 on Web Entertainment. It was released on cassette and about 150 CDs were pressed as well. The demo is very highly sought after and an original cassette will reach over US$500 on eBay - however, it was pirated extensively since Eminem became famous, and legitimate copies are extremely rare and difficult to authenticate. Modified versions of the tracks "Just Don't Give A F#*k", "Mommy"/"Just the Two of Us" (as "97 Bonnie & Clyde"), and "If I Had" appeared on 1999's The Slim Shady LP.

Eminem first introduced his "Slim Shady" persona on this EP, and his lyrics are a marked departure from those found on Infinite, featuring constant references to drug use, perverted sexual acts, mental instability, and over-the-top violence. Another departure was his exploration of more serious themes of dealing with poverty, his direct and self-deprecating response to criticism, and of marital and familial difficulties. His flow is also noticeably different than on Infinite (where critics claimed he sounded too much like Nas and AZ), utilizing more a more complex rhyme structure and clever story telling. The production value of the music on the tracks — from previous collaborators DJ Head, The Bass Brothers, and Mr. Porter — was also noticeably higher than on his prior efforts.

Unlike Infinite, The Slim Shady EP gained Eminem significant underground attention and eventually garnered the interest of famous West Coast hip-hop producer Dr. Dre, who subsequently signed Eminem to his fledgling Aftermath label and executive-produced his breakthrough major-label debut The Slim Shady LP.
