Marshall submitted the album to Interscope and they said it was one track short of a great album. The recording took two months and by February had 16 tracks and was ready to release the album. As soon as Marshall heard Dido's lyrics, he could hear in his mind the lyrics portraying an obsessed fan and began crafting a song about an obsessed fan who killed himself and his pregnant girlfriend (played by Dido in the video) cause Eminem wouldn't respond to his letters.
EMINEM THE MARSHALL MATHERS LP FULL ALBUM MOVIE
The 45 King, the song's producer, heard the song on an advertisement for the movie Sliding Doors and added a drum and bass line.
The most famous track "Stan" samples Thank You by Dido. "Criminal" was based on a piano riff that Marshall overheard producer Jeff Bass playing in the next studio, whom also gave Mathers the inspiration for "Marshall Mathers" after hearing him strumming a guitar and spontaneously singing the hook with it. The explicit version of this song is also featured as a bonus track on the explicit version.
The song doesn't appear on the clean version and is instead it's replaced by "The Kids". Although many songs were written then, the first song he wrote for the album shortly after finishing work on The Slim Shady LP in late 1998 was "Kim", a song that portrays Marshall vividly murdering his then-wife, Kim Mathers. Marshall asked what beat was playing and asked Dre to send a tape of the beat, which would later become "Kill You". While there, Marshall got a phone call from Dre at the studio who was playing a beat in the background. Marshall wrote lyrics while on a European tour promoting The Slim Shady LP and got inspiration in Amsterdam. The Slim Shady LP dropped a year after Eminem was signed and became the biggest selling rap album of that year debuting at #2 on the Billboard 200 and sold 283,000 copies on it's first week. Dre after getting a copy of it by Mathers after placing second in a rap competition called "Rap Olympics" impressed by it, Dre signed Eminem to his record company Aftermath Entertainment a sub company of Interscope.
Still, however tough he's been on the world, Em has also tended to reserve his harshest words for himself, refracting his insecurities-about his family, his music, his cultural relevance-into verses that have only made him seem more human.Eminem released his debut solo album Infinite in 1996 to poor sales, resulting in Marshall creating his alter ego "Slim Shady" who had been introduced on The Slim Shady EP in 1997 which Interscope Records CEO Jimmy Iovine play for Dr. Even as he's matured-fame, stability, sobriety, an Oscar (for the 8 Mile centrepiece, “Lose Yourself”)-he's retained his edge, taking shots at politics and society (2017’s Revival) with a frustration that's bordered on relentless. The result was a sound that reached beyond hip-hop into the heart of suburban America: rap not as social reportage but as primal-scream therapy punk for a generation addled by reality TV. Dark, funny and frequently violent, his breakthrough albums (1999’s The Slim Shady LP and 2000’s The Marshall Mathers LP) established him as pop culture’s premier bogeyman, a bleach-blond devil traumatised by circumstance who rapped about killing everyone from his mentor to his mother with such ferocity and wit that you’d almost forget he had the wrong idea. Dre only months before, he had been fired from his job as a line cook, where he worked nearly 60 hours a week to support his infant daughter-an origin story that set the tone for his career. Raised in working-class Detroit, the artist born Marshall Mathers in 1972 got his start as a battle rapper, reaching the ears of then-Interscope Records CEO Jimmy Iovine and future mentor Dr.
On 1999's “My Name Is”, Eminem entered the public imagination with a mandate: “God sent me to piss the world off.” From his provocative early work to the redemption narratives of 8 Mile and beyond, he’s more or less stayed true to form, holding a mirror to the American psyche-and his own-with an incisiveness rarely matched before or since.
