The Slim Shady LP is Eminem’s second studio album and his first on a major label, released on February 23, 1999, through Aftermath Entertainment, Web Entertainment and Interscope Records.
The story
After his 1997 Slim Shady EP reached Interscope, Eminem signed with Dr. Dre’s Aftermath and Interscope on March 9, 1998. The album introduced the Slim Shady alter ego to a national audience. Three singles were released: “My Name Is” (January 25, 1999), “Role Model” (May 26, 1999) and “Guilty Conscience” (June 8, 1999), the last featuring Dr. Dre.
Sound and production
Production credits include Dr. Dre, the Bass Brothers, Eminem, Denaun Porter, DJ Head, DJ Rec, Justin Trugman and Mel-Man. Dr. Dre produced “My Name Is,” and he and Eminem co-produced “Guilty Conscience.” Much of the album carries over the Bass Brothers’ Detroit production alongside Dre’s contributions.
Legacy
The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, selling 283,000 copies in its first week, and stayed on the chart for 100 weeks. The RIAA certified it 6× Platinum. At the 2000 Grammy Awards it won Best Rap Album, and “My Name Is” won Best Rap Solo Performance. Rolling Stone placed it at number 275 on its 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list.
