    For me it was the swearing when I was 7 :'( I was only a kid and when I saw this rapper swearing on his music video's at night I thought I was a rebel. Then when I got the SSLP a year later I really liked the guys voice idk what he was saying minus the swear words lmao.

    It was around the time MMLP came out, like a month or so after. I was at an old friend of mines house and he had it on cassette from somebody. Asked had I heard it and we listened to it on repeat whilst playing on the N64.

    I wish I would've been around for the good old days but I hopped on at Relapse. I heard Beautiful and immediately just started looking into all his music. Maybe that's why I seem to like relapse more than 90 percent of people...

    I kind of feel bad for the kids who's first song they heard from Eminem was something like Love The Way You Lie. But they get to discover his old material for the first time so I guess they are lucky.

    was always an eminem fan but when i was really starting to like rap music he was during the drug ordeal so i was exposed to more rappers like lil wayne ,kanye and 50. Then recovery came around and got into his music more and more. Never really listened to relapse when it was released. I used to be a big fan of LIl wayne and drake and thought Eminem's verse on forever was terrible.
    Dumb kid i was at that time :wayne:.

    First time I heard Eminem it was songs from the MMLP. But when The Eminem Show came out was when I really got into his music. A friend of mind had bought the album and the music was so great I asked him to burn me a copy. Greatest thing I had ever heard. Listenened to that album so often and still do at times.

    It was around the Relapse era. I was just 9 years old i already knew songs like Lose Youreself and Just Loose it but after i listend to we made you i got into his music. Get a really fan was around the Relapse time. Before i was listen just to singles but Relapse was his first album that i listen to.

    Sometime between SSLP/MMLP. I remember hearing My Name Is on the radio and wanting the album, but I couldn't get my mom to buy it for me (eventually my dad did). I kinda forgot about him until I was with my cousins the week MMLP came out. k--- You blew my little mind open. The next year I joined D12World.
