Jan 2, 2016 I don't even know, I can't remember I was too young. My earliest moments where listening to Cleaning Out My Closest in the car on the way home back from school, because we had the CD.
Jan 2, 2016 1. In 1999, i was 13 years old 2. First song was My Name Is, saw the video on MTV 3. I became a fan when i heard My Name Is but i became a bigger fan when I bought The Slim Shady LP, especially Rock Bottom, As The World Turns and SDGAF. 4. Became a huge fan first time i heard The Marshall Mathers LP
Jan 2, 2016 Dear God some of you people can't even legally vote yet. In 1999 I was at my Grandma's playing video games in the back room and she saw one of the neighborhood boys outside and hollered for him to come in and meet me. He did and he showed me TRL where I saw the "My Name Is" video. I had no idea how much that day would change my life. That same guy and I would end up becoming a rap duo and I still make music to this day. In fact, I was one of the groomsmen at his wedding. I suppose it being the same day I met him is why I remember it being the same day I first heard Eminem.
Jan 6, 2016 I never really posted here, but i love writing and expressing my opinion ( xD ) so here goes. So year is 2009 (for sake of information im 18 and half now) and we just got high speed internet and some kind of "cable TV" sth like that. It was around summer and unfortunatly MJ passed away. My sister took a closer look and really got into his music. She really wanted more people to get behind her new-found love so me and her friends were targets. Whenever I came from school this music channel was on and she wouldnt stop asking me to join her in listening MJs music. I didnt mind it, his music was incredible and soon I started listening and by myself tunning in on that channel and listening it myself. Around that time my grandfather passed away and he left his house to my dad and it really was in need of care. So, every saturday we would drive for about 45 min. and did all kinds of things...and sometimes it was quite boring. xD One day when we returned that specific channel was on and there was no MJ on it, but instead it was music video for "We Made You". Truth be told...i didnt understand jack s---. I am from Croatia and only english i knew was from school and GTA SA. But sth just pulled me into his music. I dont know what it was, but i guess his presence, the beat, and really funny music video, well at least for a teenage boy. And of course Lisa Ann...gotta be her. :D Remember that high speed internet i was talking about? Well research i did, and o boy that were one of the most incredible times in my life. And yea...i downloaded We Made You and listened to it every single time i was bored while working at grandfathers house with my dad. And years later found out people dont even like that song.
Jan 19, 2016 Through hearing My Name Is constantly on the radio and on MTV Was a kid at the time and loved the song because of how catchy it was the hook was stuck in my head
Jan 19, 2016 late december 2005 when when im gone was released , i was hooked on first listen , i still get the chills from that song
Jan 19, 2016 I heard random songs throughout my life but when I hear space bound in middle school it hit me. Then I just got engrossed in rap from their. Going back and listening to his music made me a stan.
Jan 19, 2016 it was likely 1999 -- my name is had just come out and all the kids in middle school were talking about him. i was 12 so someone had to explain what "slim shady" meant
Jan 19, 2016 1. 5th grade, 2007 2. Cleaning Out My Closet 3. Cleaning Out My Closet 4. Stan, The Way I Am, Lose Yourself, 8 Mile, Rabbit Run, this s--- got me pumped up back in the day, still does now.
Jan 22, 2016 Was 9 years old my brotha handed me mmlp, nas' gods son, and tech n9nes angelic. Still three of my favorite rap albums. First em song I head my brother bumping was purple pills. Been over a decade of listening to Eminem .
Jan 22, 2016 As far back as 2000. He was on the radio all the time and we were primarily listening to pop/urban so he'd appear on those stations. Real Slim Shady s----d though, can't believe I liked that.
Jan 22, 2016 SSLP/My Name Is when I was very young and did not have a f---ing clue what any of it meant, but I loved it haha followed every step of his career ever since. One of my best memories is MMLP era, I remember staying up late one night to watch him perform 'I'm Back' at some music awards show or something. The performance when he has the overall's and chainsaw, s--- was incredible.
