Show some love here at Buy Me A Coffee :) About The Album: The Slim Shady LP is the second studio album by the American rapper Eminem. It was released on February 23, 1999, through Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. Recorded in Ferndale, Michigan following Eminem’s recruitment by Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, the album features production from Dr. Dre, the Bass Brothers, and Eminem himself. Featuring West Coast hip hop, G-funk and horrorcore musical styles, the majority of The Slim Shady LP’s lyrical content is written from the perspective of Eminem’s alter ego, named Slim Shady, whom he created on the Slim Shady EP (1997). The Slim Shady LP contains cartoonish depictions of violence and heavy use of profanity, which Eminem described as horror film-esque, in that it is solely for entertainment value. Althoug
