When Eminem dropped The Marshall Mathers LP,  he went from being the loudest newcomer in rap to one of its defining figures.

The album sold millions, but its impact ran deeper. Hip-Hop in the mainstream world, what a white rapper could represent inside a Black art form,  controversy used as power… this record which was built on skill, rage, and contradiction made the world argue about rap, art, and who gets to belong in both.

Take a seat, because the Real Slim Shady is about to stand up!
