Upon its release over twenty years ago, The Slim Shady LP hit MTV and the pop world with more lewd, violent, visceral imagery than it knew what to do with. This was the sound of a skinny trailer park outcast who was fed up with the world and happened to have a way with words that seemingly almost no–one else in musical history had or has.

In the intervening years The Slim Shady LP has become rap canon, and has had a hand in launching no small number of Eminem acolytes, chief among them the L.A. collective of young men and women known as Odd Future. The Slim Shady LP's biggest single was the hyper–sarcastic brat anthem ‘My Name Is’, but it was tracks like ‘97 Bonnie and Clyde’ and ‘Role Model’ that would establish Eminem’s penchant for bending his raps into blurred reality tales of murder and chaos.
