first things first I want to say that Eminem has two Alter Egos and Marshall will now tell you all about it Eminem is the rapper I'll add to that the fact that he's a lyrical rapper so he's more focused on lyrics for example this is the Los Yourself [Music] song Slim Shady will kill you this is his dark side he has no boundaries of decency you can hear this character and my name is and Marshall mats is the person like behind the whole you know mask while the sincere and genuine Marshall can be heard in
heartwarming songs such as Mocking Bird cry everything's going to be all right who amongst these three do fans like the most I think it's dumb to answer on behalf of everyone but I can certainly say that Slim Shady was loved is loved and Will Be Loved by practically everybody in this video we will tell you about the story of this psychopath whom it was impossible to be neutral about in the 2000s you listen to me when I'm talking to you you hear me shut up you either loved him for his audacity or more precisely for
the fact that he could say whatever he wanted to if I'm if I'm evil enough to think it or I'm demented enough to think it or I'm smart enough to think it then I'm going to I'm going to say or you hated him arguing that he's immoral mom no yes you did M me yes Mom it felt good but you shouldn't be touching me there mom there's a lot of dope involved and and I'm very young and naive want to know what else is immoral not trying Opera's brand new and updated browser I find the

let's get back to the topic of the video and so Marshall recorded his first album infinite under the pseudonym Eminem however the release flopped not knowing how to escape the dump he was living in at Fairport Street 7 Mile he got a call from his best friend proof saying that he wants to get the 12 best MC's in Detroit and create his own version of the wuang clan he precisely wanted 12 people to be able to name the group The Dirty doesn't but he only managed to get six then proof threw in the idea that
each one of them would have a second name each of them would have two personas and each would have the power of two MC's this is one of those moments when proof played a big role in Marshall's life of course it wasn't proof who came up with Slim Shady however he led him to be on to something totally worthwhile and how did he come up with this pseudonym if you think that there's some kind of big story here then no he came up with the pseudonym while sitting on the toilet seriously to quote his own
words I was taking a and I had an epiphany well you know while you're taking a you think a lot my pen and paper are always ready whenever I'm in the bathroom having thought of the name Slim Shady I started thinking of a million things that can rhyme with it it was a pivotal moment I understood that the alter ego will do a lot more than just shake the rap Community it wasn't just that I wanted to shock people part of me surfaced I was the one who was bothered by the entire world at the
time he was very pissed off partly because people referred to him as trailer park trash and if they think of him that way then he decided to embody that to the fullest and told himself [ __ ] it then I'll just put it all out there another one of proof's Concepts was that they had to write about the sickest weirdest things this was the d12's main idea for example bizarre wrapped about damn I don't even know how YouTube would react to that so I'll censor out things and you'll understand what these lines talk about generally
speaking this is where their style came from of course they didn't want to go as hard as bizarre did but each of them wanted to be heard in their own way and just rap about the most shocking things that one could only think about we most likely heard Shady for the first time on the Underground EP from D12 in the track called filthy even despite the fact that this was never stated officially it became known from the style that this was far from Eminem from infinite plans for the casket your heads in a basket a
dead man's in a plastic I got red hands in The Mask I greet the T and ladies I SP your loyal fans Eminem first appeared in the role of shady in his own Hometown Detroit at a place called The Fat house in the Year 1997 brok and now we'll move on to the Slim Shady EP which was released at the end of 1997 where Marshall begins talking about some insane stuff which the whole world will talk about and even the attt to silence him I want people I want to grab people's attention like if my
song is playing in the background and and somebody's having a conversation I want to stop and go the did he just say y turn the radio up I you know what I'm saying I already I already stand out I'm you know I'm not necessarily a a normal person I feel like the album begins with a skit where Slim Shady demands Eminem to look in the mirror the idea of Slim Shady always centered around a mirror when Marshall looked in a mirror he could see Slim Shady Slim wants to explain to M that without him Eminem
is a nobody look in the mirror you're nothing you're nothing without me which is why in the first track of this EP in low down dirty he himself could not accept the fact that Eminem and Slim Shady are now together unated to my stresses alleviated and Shady be related it's also worth noting that it's not only the text that differs but the tone of voice as well if we hear the infinite album and Slim Shady then you'd hear the difference even Eminem himself does not know where this comes from it's possible that it's because he
was walking around the streets pretending to be his own friend for some reason began rapping like this I don't want to get M when I however Eminem did not want to just talk about crazy topics if he were to do so then he would need to be some sort of lyrical acrobat to connect syllables and make sense such as in just don't give a for example there he talks about what he did with the swimming team and he said not to perceive him like a comedian comi that video didn't do too well and to this
day I can't understand why what MTV doesn't want to play it what what kind of world is this what kind of sick world do you guys live in that I don't this track with the music video ended up being in a reissued release that eventually became the Slim Shady LP Dre heard Eminem's music and they began working together even though Dre was told that it was not worth getting involved with Eminem explaining that he's an extremely provocative rapper however that's exactly what the producer liked about him how can you prove that this is the real
mm I guess there you go during the recording of This release Dre told him that he needs an image but Eminem never thought about how Slim Shady looks like and now listen to this insane and hilarious Story one day he was going around under the influence of some illegal substances that drove him crazy he bought a bottle of peroxide when he woke up the next day he forgot what he had done he saw himself in the mirror and screamed oh God he looked like a skunk when he got into the studio as a new blonde
in a white shirt Dre met him with piercing Dead Silence he just looked at him and could not utter a single word and then he said there it is we found your image then came Jimmy ioin to take a look at what Dre was excitedly raving about and he was stunned that's your persona the Persona that we've been looking for this entire time said Jimmy Marshall never thought that his stunt with peroxide would become how he would look like hi my name is my name is cha chicka Slim Shady and then they went ahead and
recorded the album and it was practically finished then the inter scope label became very skeptical about this release and there were even talks about kicking M out of the label even Jimmy iovan didn't like his songs including role model and my name is him and Dre met up with all the colleagues to understand what's going on in general this scene was portrayed in the music video for the way I am where Eminem became infuriated tossed papers around in reality it wasn't that dramatic but the discussion was serious he then asked Jimmy tell me what you
want to change because I don't understand what's going on it's all stamped with parental advisory stickers I think we can move on can't we the album was published anyway and let's go ahead and figure out what was so provocative in this release the first track of this LP became my name is thanks to which he began gaining popularity and of course it included a lot of [ __ ] the openly G musician Lobby CRA who sng I got was sampled for my name is he insisted that this line gets changed even though for the rapper
this was just a line because of this Marshall would later on be labeled as a homo which is why he changed it to thanks a lot next semester I'll be 35 he also went after Pamela Anderson saying that he so hard and knocked her clothes backwards like crisscross this line was also changed to that he didn't know that silicone breasts are that saw a lot of rappers don't want to or just a lot of groups in general don't want to burn bridges yeah like I don't want to say this about this person because what if
I meet them or whatever whatever I don't think like that I think like if there's a reason for me to burn a bridge then I obviously don't want to speak to you ever in my life you know but in my opinion the most intense lines are the ones about his mom mom whose name is debie he said that she uses more drugs than he does but what offended her most are the following words how you going to breastfeed me Mom you ain't got no in her book she said this line was horrible and upsetting because
I'd contracted toxemia blood poisoning when I gave birth to him and hadn't been able to breastfeed it's worth noting that this Slim Shady Persona is based on his childhood trauma after all when Marshall Ms was just a child his dad left the family some of his family members committed suit and he was bullied at school so in this release there were tracks where he shared real life sad stories and if I had he talks about how he's tired of being poor broken poor tired of taking po bottles back to the party store he also talks
about an awful incident at a school bathroom when an older student called D'Angelo Bailey beat him up so hard that Marshall thought he wouldn't make it out alive I tried to and tell him we shouldn't be but he just wouldn't leave he kept talking me and I couldn't bre Eminem thinks that as a matter of fact each one of us has a lighter side and a darker one which is why he strongly remembered the scene from the Animal House movie where there's a devil on one shoulder and an angel on another there was a plot
there where the devil was making the guy sleep with a drunk girl while the angel discouraged him from this idea if you lay one finger on that poor sweet helpless girl you'll despise yourself forever here there's the same difference between Eminem and slim shady and Dr Dre understood that the producer offered his Protege to make a song in such a style where Eminem would represent the evil side of a person who wants to commit a crime and at the same time Dre would discourage the person from this awful Venture this is how the song Guilty
Conscience came to be now you got to do is nibble on this little chicken's ear L yo this girl's only 15 years old there's the good half of you and there's the bad half of you and 99% of the time especially in America the bad half always wins and this evil itself can sometimes strongly take over Marshall to the point where he would be led to recording 97 Bonnie and Clyde where he asked his daughter to help him get rid of her mom's body and throw it in the ocean the most interesting thing about it
is the song includes vocals by Haley which seriously angered Kim let it s in the water and me and you can play by ourselves can't we and generally speaking the public started to like this wild Slim Shady I think it's going to change hip-hop he's a Detroit boy love that in the following year and more precisely in the year 2000 already Eminem released the Marshall matters LP the main song of this release became the real Slim Shady and the point of it is that this Shady resides in all of us I'm Shady I'm the real
you SL Shady having once heard Shady people no longer wanted to see Marshall which he wrapped about in the track without me after all as proof set Eminem is an MC who comes in sober and gives his metaphors while Slim Shady after a couple of rounds of drinks he's looking to pick up a fight be out and I meet you at the Joint well if you want Shady this is what I give you a little bit of Mex some and this track he once again addresses the music industry saying that everyone's bored without him and
this is considering the fact that the Federal Communications Commission which regulates interstate and international Communications including radio won't let him play his songs they edit and censor him M claims that they're trying to sabotage him by not allowing his music to be played to try and get back at it you know I've always been against censorship so they say things about me and I just strike back but honestly it doesn't really bother me I don't sit and dwell on it and cry about it it's also worth pointing out the plot of the Without Me music
video where Eminem and Dre parody heroes from the comic books such as Batman Robin and blade they attempt to save a kid who bought the Eminem show album with the Parental Advisory sticker at the end of the music video they ended up at the kid's house further Shady takes away the kid's disc pointing out to him him the sticker that's placed on the disc this is a message to all parents who prohibit listening to Slim's music and to all of those who don't accept his music in general I think the older people are tending to
to take my this too literal you know but I don't care it's it's it's funny to me you know what I'm saying cuz if I say my [ __ ] brain fell out of my skull and they really believe it you know what I'm saying and what's wrong with them I'm I'm I'm bringing you in the slim shades world if you don't want to come in the slim shades world don't come Shady kept going hard in the music industry and re Havoc with his next Album encore where the main single became Just Lose It which
quickly became a phenomenon the music video itself is a wild ride filled with hilarious parodies of Pop Culture icons we see how Shady fights with MC Hammer PeeWee Herman Madonna Blink 182 and even Santa Claus with the Cameo from Tony Cox from Bad Santa however not everything looks as positive at first glance this word spark controversy because of the harsh references of Michael Jackson's work his appearance and even his accusations of child molestation dance sh Jackson was most of all offended by the last scene where he's sitting in bed surrounded by little children the pop
singer called on all of the TV music channels to remove the music video from the air otherwise he would sue him inm only one channel agreed to drop the music video yeah was was uh pretty painful as as an artist to another artist and uh it's sad but he he should be ashamed of himself what he's doing it was making no personal judgment on Michael Jackson it was not you know what I'm saying like it was completely meant to be all and just before this music video The Real Slim Shady stood up and made fun
of Michael Jackson by dangling a baby doll over a hotel balcony in Glasgow he also wore a surgical mask over his face and an obvious swine Jackson who caused a furer when he held his baby son Prince Michael second over a balcony railing in Berlin in addition to various Jabs at the pop artist Slim Shady of course had beef with rappers whose careers he destroyed just so you can understand it even got to the point of driving them to tears I don't want to go to I don't want to talk about it no more I
don't want for 22 years every time I do an interview they ask me about Eminem The want me to do this has been Zeno emotionally crying and I'll tell you why right now just so that you can understand he was trolled for decades because of the fact that after the beef with Eminem his career hit rock bottom the battle began when Eminem dissed The Source magazine which gave the Marshall Ms LP album a rating of two out of five and Benzino was one of the creators of the publication he said that M should be thankful
that he ended up in a column in the magazine in 1998 which gave Marshall's career a jumpstar Eminem released one of the best diss tracks under the name nail in the coffin he completely ridiculed Benzino including his age his pseudo gangster Persona and him as a bad businessman you'll never have no security you'll never be famous you never know what it's like to be rich like Benzino later released the Die Another Day diss track where the Boston rapper threatened his daughter Eminem's family was often mentioned by the rapper in his diss tracks H it ain't
safe no more daddy better watch your back at the candy store the beef later died down and in 2012 Benzino said that he wasn't right about his statements about his family and apologized but of course M did not forgive can Not only was Benzino not able to bounce back after nailing the coffin but he also had to quit the source in 2005 he tried getting back into rap but was unsuccessful he gets trolled in the comments with where Eminem gets mentioned up to now benzeno was still asked about that beef and he was so fed
up with it that he couldn't hold back his tears in that same year of 2005 an unexpected turn of events took place Eminem killed Slim Shady in the When I'm Gone song M says Shady [Music] Shady in other words Eminem admits that he no longer wants such a life he liked it when this Slim Shady was around but he became so famous that Slim Shady was freakishly close to destroying his family and himself in particular so Marshall killed him he also got rid of his addiction to Illegal substances however he wasn't able to get rid
of shady which we find out in the Relapse album in the intro to the album Eminem meets with his rehab doctor right before he's discharged from rehab but things take an unexpected turn and Marshall learns that he might not have actually left all of his demons in the past you can't you never leave me Marshall always be together which is why already in the following track 3:00 a.m. Slim Shady returns and becomes a serial killer committing mass murder following his escape from a rehabilitation clinic in in floor and the music video of We Made You
was made in the same manner as Just Lose It or my name is where slim makes fun of celebrities saying that popular celebrities aren't any better than their fans look at all the massive masses in the it's not necessarily intentional bashing it's not necessarily taking deliberate shots of people yes it is the am I talking about in the song My Darling it captures the Eminem and Slim Shady characters at War representative of the workings of the Angels and Demons within Eminem's subconscious and at the end of that track their voices become become one meaning that
as much as he didn't want it Shady returned and became an Inseparable part of Marshall Marshall no one's going to love you like I do and in the Marshall matters LP 2 slim shady returns once more evil twin revives His Manic for more trouble briefly speaking Shady didn't go anywhere and on the 12th of July 2024 an album by the name of the death of Slim Shady was released the first track is a classic Shady throughout the album Slim Shady argues with em andm saying that he absolutely does not appreciate all that he has done
for him in guilty conscience too shady recalls the legendary 2000s when he got him Fame courage and gave him power to use him as an excuse to be angry however later Eminem tried to kill him a few times which weakened him and led to many fans not respecting him anymore as he no longer had the level of Rage that he had at the beginning of his career and so Marshall currently turned into a frightened guy who shakes like Shakira's and at the end of this track the most interesting thing begins Eminem decides to kill [Music]
slim he fired the shot then it later turns out it was all just a dream Eminem woke up with a sample of the song When I'm Gone playing we spoke about this song a little while earlier saying that in this song Marshall wanted to put an end to Shady however if you hear the album backwards then the plot becomes something entirely different in that case Shady kills Marshall songs like somebody saved me for shadow Marshall's demise while tracks like guilty conscience to and breaking news depict Slim Shady taking control and reeving in the chaos he's
Unleashed in a stunning move has released an album in which he is actually trying to cancel himself the story takes a Sinister turn with trouble skip where Shady supposedly drug Marshall drink this what is it shut up and drink it no I said drink it this leads to Renaissance where slim spits venomously over Marshall's grave and unleashes pure unadulterated Slim Shady fury on the world elep element of intelligent develop once Eminem said that as long as there's Eminem Slim Shady will live which is why I think that is the point of the album that despite
all the efforts of getting rid of this demon Marshall will never be able to do it will I this mying till I hang up the m and it's time for me to say the next video that I want want to recommend you watch is the documentary film about Dr Dre thanks everyone for watching if you like the video hit the like button and also don't forget to subscribe to the channel and see you soon
