Originally released on 23rd February 1999 The Slim Shady LP turned Eminem
from an underground rapper into a high-profile celebrity. The album featured
production from Dr. Dre, the Bass Brothers, and Eminem himself. The Slim Shady
LP is his first album with a major label after his first album Infinite was
released on an independent label in 1996. The majority of the
album’s lyrical content is written from the perspective of the
rapper’s alter ego Slim Shady, whom the rapper created on the Slim Shady EP
(1997). The Slim Shady LP went on to be certified quadruple-platinum by the
Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and has sold over 18 million
copies worldwide.
