Do you remember the time you got into Em's music?

[Drax207]

You know, I may seem like a creepy stan but when I think about it, the time I didn't know Em and the one I got into his work are really two separated period of my life. For 15 years I didn't know shit about him, I used to listen to music a lot but I didn't have any favorite artist (well, maybe Daft Punk) and when I went to highschool, I Need a Doctor picked my interest (I know, weird start). I started to listen to Em's music a lot, wanting to listen to every song he was on or every verse he has ever laid. Plus he really got me into Rap. I used to dig it but he really made me appreciate it. He became my favorite music artist (and still is). It's like Em's music is part of my life now, I got some buddies into it too (and Yelawolf too ), so it feels like it's with me wherever I go from now on.

And I listened to him for the first time when I was 15, was only 3 years ago.

So I was wondering, if you remember the exact moment, the exact song that got you into Em's music? I guess some of you guys listen to him since your childhood, when your were kids, you grew up with him, I can't imagine how great that must have been ! I wonder if you guys remember it

Was high as fuck when I thought about this so it may seems like a weird thread, it's perfectly normal

EDIT: For the record, Em's far from being the only artist I like, I'm not that crazy yet

i think it was 2002 when i falled in love with the cover from TES in a
local Music Store
I begged my father to buy the album only for the cover
has paid off


1st time i heard him was maybe 2000 or 2001 when i heard TRSS on the radio

[stylzjaw]

1999 when I first heard My Name Is, shit was funny as hell

[Epidemik]

It was 1999, I was 15 years old and my sister had a copy of his CD. A buddy of mine showed 97 Bonnie and Clyde to me, and I was hooked.

My first song was D12 - My Band i was 10 and I didn understand A WORD, but still liked it.
Now 10 years later i still love him^^

[UofLCard]

Yeah, I think it was when I was in 7th grade (2002/2003). I heard Without Me and Lose Yourself on the radio, and wanted to check out more of him.

It was Encore for me. Then my dad worked at a farmers market to help out his friend, and their son was a huge fan of Eminem, and I heard a bunch of his older stuff, havent looked back since.

[TranSlucEnt]

I think it was around Encore? That was the first Em CD I bought. The first rap cd I bought was The Massacre

[shadyblogger]

Around the time of Recovery which ironically is my least favorite Eminem album. A friend kinda showed me some of his stuff and then before you knew it I became a bigger Stan than he was lol, been hooked ever since 2010 though

[shadyblogger]

6 years old.

My Name Is, Brain Damage, Guilty Conscience and Forgot About Dre consumed my mind. Used to recite the verses to kids behind the portable.

That's insane. I can't even imagine getting into Em at 6 years old

[Jaba]

Will post mine later. But I will say the first song I heard was "Lose Yourself"( a snippet) and the first CD I had heard was The Eminem Show at like 6 or 7 yrs old.

[Shpongle]

First song was "Guilty Conscience" but didn't really cared for it at that time, just really started getting into his music when "The Way I Am" came out

[yoda you can call me]

Yeah, a mate brought the SSLP round telling me about this new white rapper, i gave it a listen and it didn't move me enough to get into him, i was well into other genres at the time. Hearing Stan And Kim made me an all out Stan and a fan of hiphop in general.

[Jason M.]

I actually have no idea. Around Relapse, but it wasn't Relapse that got me hooked. I was discovering everything song by song on YouTube rather than buying/DLing CD's. I know White America was one of those songs that really made me say ''this guy is fucking awesome''.
