Slim Shady EP is the 1997 debut extended play by American rapper Eminem, through the Detroit-based record label Web Entertainment.
 Unlike "Infinite", "Slim Shady EP" helped Eminem gain the interest of CEO Jimmy Iovine (co-founder of Interscope Records) and West Coast hip-hop producer Dr. Dre, who subsequently signed Eminem to his Aftermath Entertainment record label, and served as executive producer on his major-label debut album "The Slim Shady LP" (1999).
 Dre also served as executive producer on Eminem's later albums such as "The Marshall Mathers LP" (2000), "The Eminem Show" (2002), "Encore" (2004), "" (2005), "Relapse"-"Refill" (2009), "Recovery" (2010), and "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" (2013).
Relapse is the sixth studio album by American rapper Eminem.
 The album was released on May 19, 2009, under Aftermath Entertainment, Shady Records, and Interscope Records.
 It was his first album of original material since "Encore" (2004), following a four-year hiatus from recording due to his writer's block and an addiction to prescription sleeping medication.
 Recording sessions for the album took place during 2007 to 2009 at several recording studios, and Dr. Dre, Mark Batson, and Eminem handled production.
 Conceptually, "Relapse" concerns the ending of his drug rehabilitation, rapping after a non-fictional relapse, and the return of his Slim Shady alter-ego.
"'97 Bonnie & Clyde" is a song by American rapper Eminem.
 The song appears on the "Slim Shady EP" (as "Just the Two of Us") & "The Slim Shady LP".
 Eminem recorded a prequel for The Marshall Mathers LP, "Kim".
 The song is covered by Tori Amos on her 2001 album of gender-swapped covers, "Strange Little Girls".
"Just Don't Give a Fuck" (known as "Just Don't Give" in the clean version) is the debut single by American rapper Eminem.
 The original version appears as the only single on his debut EP the "Slim Shady EP", and as a lead single on his major-label debut album "The Slim Shady LP".
 The song samples the song "Beverly Kills" from Insane Clown Posse's album "Beverly Kills 50187" and "I Don't Give a Fuck" by Tupac Shakur.
Web Entertainment is a Detroit-based record label run by the Bass Brothers.
 It is best known for producing both of Eminem's independent albums, "Infinite" and the "Slim Shady EP" demo, before he signed to hip hop producer Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment and also released "The Slim Shady LP" under Web.
Infinite is the debut studio album by American rapper Eminem.
 It was released on November 12, 1996, by Web Entertainment.
 Recording sessions took place at the Bass Brothers' studio, known as the Bassmint Productions, with the production that was handled by Mr. Porter and Proof.
 The album features guest vocals from fellow rappers Proof, Mr. Porter, Eye-Kyu, Three and Thyme, as well as singer Angela Workman on the track "Searchin'".
 The copies were made on cassette and vinyl, and Eminem sold them out of the trunk of his car in Detroit.
 It is not officially available on any online music stores. However, on November 17, 2016, five days after the 20th anniversary of the album, Eminem posted a remaster and remix of title track, made by the Bass Brothers, to his Vevo channel, made available digitally for the first time.
The Slim Shady LP is the second studio album and the major-label debut by American rapper Eminem.
 It was released on February 23, 1999, under Interscope Records and Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment.
 Recorded in Ferndale, Michigan, in the US, following Eminem's recruitment by Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, the album features production from Dr. Dre, the Bass Brothers, and Eminem himself.
 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 lyrics are noted for their over-the-top depictions of violence and heavy use of profanity.
The Marshall Mathers LP is the third studio album by American rapper Eminem.
 It was released on May 23, 2000, by Aftermath Entertainment, Interscope Records, and Eminem's newly founded label, Shady Records in the United States, and on September 11, 2000, by Polydor Records in the United Kingdom.
 The album was produced mostly by Dr. Dre and Eminem, along with The 45 King, the Bass Brothers, and Mel-Man.
 Released a year after Eminem's breakout album "The Slim Shady LP", the record features more introspective lyricism including the rapper's response to his sudden rise to fame and controversy surrounding his lyrics.
"Fast Lane" is the lead single by hip hop duo Bad Meets Evil, a group composed of Royce da 5'9" and Eminem, from their first EP "".
 The single was produced by Eminem, Supa Dups, and Jason "JG" Gilbert, and released on May 3, 2011 by Shady Records.
 Texas rapper Chamillionaire released a remix.
 A music video by director James Larese of music video direction group Syndrome.
 The music video features animated visuals and kinetic typography, with cameo appearances by Mr. Porter and Slaughterhouse.
 Fans and critics considered it a return to Eminem's Slim Shady alter ego.
"Kim" is a song by American rapper Eminem which appears on his 2000 album "The Marshall Mathers LP".
 The song reflects intense anger and hatred toward Eminem's then-wife Kim Mathers and features Eminem imitating her voice, and ends with Eminem killing Kim and later burying her.
 "Kim" was the first song the rapper recorded for the album, shortly after finishing work on "The Slim Shady LP" in late 1998.
 Eminem wrote this song, along with "'97 Bonnie & Clyde" (where Eminem and his daughter go to the lake to dispose of Kim's dead body), at a time when he and Kim were having marital problems and Kim was preventing him from seeing his daughter Hailie.
 While the song has been cited as an example of misogyny in hip hop culture, it is often highlighted as one of Eminem's most memorable songs.
