The Slim Shady LP  by Eminem

The Slim Shady LP, which was released in 1999, is Eminem's second album and a revelation for the world of Hip Hop. The album would sweep through and a new star in Hip Hop music would be born, only this time he would be white, and that would spark many discussions at that time. Dr. Dre's contribution would be of great significance, as he took the young man from the state of Missouri under his supervision and guidance and transformed him into what he became in the first half of the next decade.

Slim Shady was a fictional persona created by Eminem to speak through it about issues such as murders, drugs, violence, infidelity, seductions, all through irony and dark humor. Eminem's original intent was for The Slim Shady LP to be like a movie without images.

Its sales today have exceeded 8,000,000 copies worldwide and it is included among the defining hip hop albums of all time.
