Eminem - Marshall Mathers - Slim Shady

[frutiger1998200190s]

Eminem. Music video stills and a photo shoot. The background in the 3rd picture here is not as 90s as the others, not as good. Not sure why. We are lookin' for a frutiger 1998200190s style, absolutely nothing else. So I would have removed this photo if it wasn't for the clothes. They look all frutiger 1998200190s and match this blog. Why on the earth the background looks so weird, I do not know, most likely because it was photoshopped/improperly edited later as it was reuploaded to the internet past 2002. And it now looks like shit. So do NOT copy the background, my aesthetic fans. Do not. It looks like absolute, gross shit. But the rest is fine.

Dido - Thank You 1998

"Thank You" is a song written and performed by English singer-songwriter Dido. The song made its first appearance in 1998 on the soundtrack of the movie Sliding Doors (as did poll #28). It was later included on Dido's 1999 debut album No Angel, and was released as a single in September 2000. The same year, American rapper Eminem sampled the track for his hit single "Stan", which helped propel "Thank You" and No Angel to mainstream success.

Following the success of "Stan" in Australia and the UK, where it hit number one, No Angel was finally distributed in other markets outside North America in late 2000. No Angel rose to the top of the Australian albums chart on its sixth week, dethroning The Marshall Mathers LP by Eminem. By 2003, No Angel had sold more than 15 million copies worldwide, and was the second best-selling album of the 2000s in the UK. As of 2015, No Angel was the 27th best-selling album in UK chart history. In 2019 it was listed the ninth best-selling album of the 21st century in the UK. It was also among ten albums nominated for the best British album of the previous 30 years by the Brit Awards in 2010, ultimately losing to (What's the Story) Morning Glory? by Oasis.

"Thank You" peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100, and held that spot for three weeks, and became Dido's first and only top-10 single in the US. It was one of the biggest sleeper hits of the year, debuting in January and remaining on the chart until the end of September. It spent 40 weeks on the chart, and in November Billboard published that "Thank You" finished as the seventh biggest song of the year. Additionally, the song reached number one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary, Adult Top 40, and Dance Club Play charts. In the UK, "Thank You" reached number three, becoming the singer's third top-five single in the UK.

The song was produced by Dido and her brother Rollo, from the band Faithless (poll #109).

"Thank You" received a total of 85,5% yes votes!

“[When I was about 14] I asked for a banjo, and they went out, my folks went out and bought me a little tiny, dinky five-string banjo. And Pete Seeger’s book, How To Play the Five-String Banjo, I think I bought that myself, and learned how to play from that. Nobody said, ‘Here, take a banjo,’ or, ‘Gee, you’d be good at it,’ or anything like that. I just wanted to play it.” - Peter Tork, Headquarters radio, 1989 “I’m a great admirer of Pete Seeger.“ - Peter Tork, Disc and Music Echo, January 13, 1968 “‘When I was a kid, before the Monkees, I was not primarily a rock and roller,’ said Tork during a 1998 interview. ‘I was primarily an acoustic folkie. For us, as acoustic folkies, the politics were very clear. We were strongly liberal, in the Pete Seeger mold. We certainly had a strong sense of right and wrong, and we certainly believed a lot that was wrong with society was the fault of the moneyed class. I think all of us to some extent believed ourselves to be socialists.’” - We all want to change the world: Rock and politics from Elvis to Eminem (2003)

"The Day Dr. Dre Discovered Eminem: A Tale of Fate, Talent, and Hip-Hop Legend"

Eminem

Hip-hop is a vast, constantly evolving genre, and stories of discovery are sometimes hidden in myth and urban legends. One discovery story, however, stands out as an example of to fate, untamed skill, and the unwavering faith in the persuasive abilities of language. It narrates the tale of how Dr. Dre discovered a young, hidden rapper by the name of Eminem and dramatically changed the hip-hop scene.

🎵 The Setting: Detroit, 1997 🎵

Eminem in late 90s

The year was 1997, and Detroit's gritty underground rap scene was buzzing with undiscovered talent. Amid the dimly lit venues and back-alley cyphers, a struggling artist named Marshall Mathers, better known as Eminem, was crafting complicated verses, rhyming his heart out in a city desperately seeking its voice in the rap world.

Eminem's journey had been not easy, full with obstacles. He had independently published the album "Infinite" in 1996, but it had hardly made an impact in the hip-hop universe. Rap in Detroit was a rough, unforgiving environment, especially for a white rapper attempting to stand out. It was clear that Eminem was frustrated and that his hopes were on the verge of being dashed.

🎤 The Turning Point: Rap Olympics 🎤

Fate intervened in the form of the Rap Olympics, a nationwide rap competition taking place in Los Angeles. Eminem decided to seize the opportunity, convinced that this might be his last chance to break through the barriers that had held him back. With unwavering determination, he packed his bags and headed to the West Coast.

The competition was fierce, but Eminem's burning lyrical prowess set him apart. He may have finished in second place, but he left an indelible mark on everyone who witnessed his performance. The buzz around the underground rap community was undeniable, and one person took particular notice—Jimmy Iovine, the influential head of Interscope Records.

🦋 The Butterfly Effect: Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre 🦋

As fate would have it, Jimmy Iovine came into possession of a copy of Eminem's "Infinite." He could have easily overlooked it, but there was something in Eminem's rhymes, something undeniably powerful, that refused to be ignored. In an unexpected twist, Iovine decided to share the album with Dr. Dre, one of the most iconic figures in hip-hop.

Dr. Dre, a producer and rapper known for his pioneering work in N.W.A and Death Row Records, was intrigued. He'd seen talent come and go, but something about Eminem's raw, unfiltered verses resonated with him. It was as if Eminem's words held the key to a door that Dre had been searching for.

🧩 The Discovery 🧩

Eminem and Dr. Dre in 90s

Dr. Dre didn't hesitate. He reached out to Eminem, who was still in Detroit, and offered him a lifeline. In 1998, Eminem signed with Dr. Dre's label, Aftermath Entertainment. It was the break that Eminem had longed for, and it marked the beginning of a partnership that would change the course of hip-hop history.

Under Dr. Dre's mentorship and production, Eminem released his breakthrough album, "The Slim Shady LP" in 1999. The album was a revelation, showcasing Eminem's unique lyrical prowess and Dr. Dre's expert production. Songs like "My Name Is" and "Guilty Conscience" burst forth, announcing Eminem as a force to be reckoned with.

🎬 The Legacy: A Dynamic Duo 🎬

Dr. Dre's discovery of Eminem remains one of the most iconic moments in hip-hop history. Their partnership exemplifies the transformative power of mentorship and belief in talent, regardless of background or circumstance. Eminem's subsequent albums, including "The Marshall Mathers LP" and "The Eminem Show" cemented his status as one of the greatest rappers in the world.

Dr. Dre's keen eye for talent and willingness to embrace a struggling, unknown artist forever changed the hip-hop landscape. The story of how he discovered Eminem isn't just a tale of chance—it's a testament to the enduring power of words, the magic of discovery, and the indomitable spirit of hip-hop. In a world where stories are spun daily, this one remains etched in history, a fateful twist that gave birth to a legend.

🚀 The Meteoric Rise 🚀

Discography of Eminem

Eminem's journey from the gritty streets of Detroit to global stardom is a testament to raw talent, unyielding determination, and a pinch of serendipity. The Rap God's success didn't come easy, but it was built on his unrelenting hustle and desire to be heard.

💥 The Collateral Impact 💥

Dr. Dre and Eminem now

Now, let's address the elephant in the room. Along the way, Eminem's lyrical prowess didn't just lift him to the summit; it sent a few careers tumbling down. His fearless diss tracks were like blazing wildfire targeting fellow artists, and it's safe to say a few careers went up in smoke.

On this 51st birthday, we celebrate not just the Rap God, but the incredible journey of a kid from Detroit who dared to dream, struggled to break free, and rewrote the rules of hip-hop. Eminem's legacy is etched in the very fabric of rap, and the story of his rise is an anthem for every underdog. Here's to the king of the mic, the lyrical wizard, and the man who made "8 Mile" more than just a road—it's a symbol of hope. Happy Birthday, Eminem! 🎂🎤✨

Eminem's "Stan" and Its Impact on Fan Culture

Eminem, since the start of his music career, has been a transgressive figure in the hip hop scene and the music industry. Critics were shocked and appalled by his lyrics while others praised him for his skill in writing and delivering rap verses. Overall, though, he has become increasingly successful and an undeniably important moment in American culture. His contributions to hip hop have been impressive and he has accrued multiple MTV and Grammy awards for singles, "Lose Yourself", "Without Me", and "My Name Is". He rose to fame in the late 90s to early 2000s and his 2000 hit "Stan" explores his experience in the limelight. Though "Stan" is not based on a true story, it is based on Eminem aka Marshall Mathers disturbing fan mail that he received during the peak of his career. He released "Stan" as a message to fans to not take his lyrics to heart, or act out anything he has said in his lyrics. The word "stan" has since been added to the Oxford dictionary and is defined as an overly obsessive or stalker-like fan. It has also been said to be a portmanteau of the words "fan" and "stalker".

Eminem was sent the beat for this song by producer the 45 King which features Dido's 1998 song "Thank You" and the rest was history. He heard lyrics "put your picture on my wall" and instantly thought of a crazed fan. This was the first song, according to Eminem, that he did not create lyrics for on the spot. He mapped out the story for the song before recording it and he had intended for the song to prove wrong any critics for felt as though his music was made solely for shock value. "Stan" is one of Eminem's most critically acclaimed songs and tells an important message to fans about being sure to not confused reality with fantasy. In this song, Eminem's obsessed fan is named Stanley. He bleaches his hair to look more like Eminem, has Slim Shady posters hung up on his wall, and dresses similarly to the rap icon. He writes letters to Slim Shady, referring to him casually as "Slim", in hopes that he will write back.

However, as time passes and Eminem does not respond to Stan, he becomes increasingly more angry. Stan states "I think it's pretty f**cked up that you don't answer fans" and "I ain't that mad though, I just don't like bein' lied to". His messages become increasingly worrisome as he starts to reveal his compromised mental state, discussing his troubled familial past, self harm, and depression. Amid all of this personal confession, Stan expresses his admiration for Slim, and ending his letter with, ".P.S. We should be together too." This reveals the obsessive, almost romantic nature of his fandom of Eminem. He has now also replaced the priority of girlfriend with a priority towards his fanaticism towards Eminem, symbolized through his covering of her photo with his.

As the song progresses, Stan drinks too much and acts upon his reckless impulses and anger, ending his life along with his girlfriend's and their unborn child. Stan is now recording his voice on a cassette tape with for obvious reasons, Eminem will never be able to hear. He stars the tape with anger towards Slim, starting "Dear-Mr.-I'm-Too-Good-to-Call-or-Write-My-Fans" and continues on with the letter calling out Eminem for not answering in 6 months, not realizing the mass amount of fan mail he receives. He references "My Name Is" and asks Slim if he dares him to drive after drinking a fifth of vodka, except the lyrics have now become reality rather than fiction. He tries to guilt trip Em, saying "I loved you Slim, we coulda been together" and "You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it". This line of the sonf reveals Stan's drunken state as well as his intense love for Eminem, so much so that he would even marry him. He is speeding on the freeway, with his girlfriend tied up in the trunk, again referencing another Eminem song "97 Bonnie and Clyde". He then drives into the side of the bridge and the car falls into the river and we can hear muffled screams from his girlfriend.

“Stan” is meant to be a cautionary tale to fans to not take their admiration for celebrities too far and not to put too much stake into them for their own well-being. For inevitably they will be let down by the celebrities who have no real association with them. "Stan" gave a name to fandoms everywhere and coined a term that is used to this day to describe fans who idolize and are ultimately dedicated to a specific artist or celebrity. The song exemplified how fandom can get out of hand and be expressed in ugly, immoral ways. Judging from today's fandoms, obsessive tendencies have not wained but I am yet to hear a fan story from recent news come close to the intensity and drama of "Stan" which is good news for the world at large. Ultimately, the most harm done to celebrities seems to be through social media feuding or overly defensive behaviors from fans of their favorite celebrity. However, we have increasing numbers of celebrities being doxxed and harassed due to the ease social media creates for people to mess with the lives of celebrities. I can't say that the song has necessarily helped to better conditions for celebrity's safety or mental stability, but it has certainly brought awareness to an important issue concerning treatment of celebrities and reminds us that they are human as well, not just an image or brand.
