The Real Slim Shady
Marshall Bruce Mathers III (born October 17, 1972), better known by his stage name Eminem, is an American rapper, record producer, and actor. Eminem quickly gained popularity in 1999 with his major-label debut album, The Slim Shady LP, which won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. The following album, The Marshall Mathers LP, became the fastest-selling solo album in United States history. It brought Eminem increased popularity, including his own record label, Shady Records, and brought his group project, D12, to mainstream recognition.
"The Real Slim Shady" was the first single released from The Marshall Mathers LP. The song is a critique of pop songs that were being churned out at the time, parodying these songs by including features of a typical pop song, such as a repetitive chorus.
The song was a hit, becoming Eminem's first chart topper in some countries, and garnering much attention for insulting various celebrities. (in Wikipedia)
