Throwback Thursday – Eminem

Mr. Marshall Mathers has been a busy man. “The Warning”, Eminem’s heartfelt take on dealing with a broken-down relationship, hit the streets this past week with people asking, “did he really have to go that hard on them?” Seriously, “The Warning” is possibly the most vicious diss on an R&B singer ever. Plus he made a cameo in last week’s number 1 in the box office film Funny People, and his latest album Relapse is still doing considerably well (I mean, it actually sold some CDs, which is tough these days).

But don’t forget, before Mariah issues there was Kim. Before talking about his drug addiction, there was his mom’s drug addiction. Let’s take a look back at Eminem’s earlier days as the “surprisingly good white rapper.”

Here Eminem rips it up on the world-famous Wake-Up Show.

The world really got to know Em with his mainstream debut “Hi, My Name Is…” It was not among my favorites at the time. Two white dudes in high school killed it for me. During tennis practice they would recite the lyrics over and over again like it was a goddamn mantra. But for what it was worth, the song was pretty unique at the time it came out. Hell, it’s pretty unique now.

Once I heard “Just Don’t Give a Fuck”, I knew this dude was special.

Eminem performing “Brain Damage” during spring break? Check. Swimsuit models? Check. Hey, I have a great idea – let’s combine them! The result – Eminem dry-humps swimsuit model during performance.

And lastly, “Guilty Conscience” features a cool back-and-forth between Dr. Dre and Eminem.

Make sure you grab Relapse, it’s a great album.
