First Eminem Song You Ever Heard?

[forgot_about_matt]

"The Real Slim Shady" on the radio when I was 8. I was hooked. I knew how controversial Eminem was and I knew Wal-Mart censored music, so I had like $20 in my pocket at Target. I bought the explicit ablum, tucked it in my shirt, and told my mom I lost the money. She was kinda pissed and I felt bad for lying, and I wasn't allowed to hold my own money for months after that, but I went home, listened to The MMLP on my Playstation (PSone model) with my headphones in the old Magnavox TV and had my world changed. Eminem literally expanded my mind quite a bit. I hated "Kill You", "I'm Back", and "Kim" at first, but I thought the rest of it was cool. I asked my mom what "faggot" meant and she asked where I heard it. I said school (which was definitely not a lie. Every suburban white kid was secretly bumping Em back then, and others just knew the word. Plus, I had actually heard it from my "father"). A couple months later, TES came out and I took some piggy bank money and bought it at school. Dude went and bought me one for $13 new, and I gave him $20. Still got it. About to put it in my CD player now and drift away -- loudly! (Except for "Drips". "Drips" is still a no-Mom song.

I also started sneaking around watching South Park at about this time, maybe even a year or so earlier.

Role model. I would press pause every few seconds, write down the words untill I got the whole song. Some parts i did not understand. I remember thinking-damn, this guy is crazy, but I love it. Those were the days.

The first song i personally listened to myself was Kill You. A friend came over and said i should listen to this album (MMLP) so he put Kill You on. I was like 8 or 9 at the time so obviously it didn't stick. Under the Influence was also floating around at the time, and another friend played it for me, with kids in school walking around singing it. But i was so young that obviously it didn't really stick yet, it was just humour. We also watched The Real Slim Shady repeatedly cause it was funny shit, but same as above.

I didn't properly get into him till Encore came out in 2004.

So The Marshall Mathers LP was the first shit i heard of him. The Slim Shady LP really didn't seem to hit over in the UK as well.

Well I was hella little like 4 or 5(Somewhere back in 2000 around there) my big brother had just barely bought the Marshall Mathers LP he showed me the cover and it was like black and white and i kind of thought it was weird but then later on that day my brother showed me one of the songs from the album The Real Slim Shady and that was the first real song i heard from Em and i loved the song so much i would ask my bro to play it a lot and he would since he loved it. Then a little later after that my brother left (i dont know where he went?) so i lost touch with Em and his songs.. then in 02 i saw the video of Without Me from the Eminem Show on MTV then lost touch from Em again but then finally when 04 i heard Just Lose It on MTV and a little later that year found my brother and asked him for some Em songs and literally begged him (Also to my cousins because the were already Em fans) for them so he burned me a CD compilation of loads of Em songs ft. Stan, My Name Is, Lose Yourself, and especially the one song that i always wanted The Real Slim Shady was there and i was happy and bumping them and in that same year i got Encore for Christmas from my cousin which was a coincidence because i never asked for the album from them and i loved it! After all that... years passed and i bought the Eminem Show and the Marshall Mathers LP at the same time and got hooked into Eminem like a motherfucker!I kept on bumping them and bought more of his Cds like the Slim Shady LP and his D12 albums i loved it but not as much as the other CDs before a little later i got the Curtain Calls Hits as well as the Re-Up because i knew i needed more of his songs but then i got so pissed that he wasnt making no more music because i been hearing that supposely he was retiring and so i was so pissed that i barely hear of him and now he isnt going to make music so yeah i actually waited for him thats my story

It was 'My name is' on the radio. I hated it and thought he was an annoying prick - i thought don't let these guys invade the music scene.
