This is our first episode! I talked the guys into doing a podcast about hip hop and the first album we chose to talk about is the album of our adolescence, The Slim Shady LP. How Em got away with killing his baby mama on a track, we'll never know! But it worked! And Eminem is just so skilled with his rhymes. Every track gave you a different Em. This would be his launch pad to his career. Looking back, we see so much elements of his career all packed in this one album. 

If you wonder why Eminem is so big today, then you must go back and listen to The Slim Shady LP. This is just the beginning of understanding who you're messing with..... "A lyricist without a clue, what year is this? Look, here's a sword, body pierce with this... " Em holds back no sacrifices for the rhyme. Everybody will be called out and he isn't afraid to go there even to this day.
