this Demo is his regular voice before they made the pitch higher.. the "real" slim shady lol plus he was most likely effed up on drugs as well.. if havent heard it the demo of just dont give a fuck is way different too..
When "my name is" came out on MTV we were sitting around drinking 40's and smoking blunts and that video came on and we all looked at each other like WTF!?? But in a good way
I will never forget the first glimpse of the my name is video. Instantly hooked. Only caught the hook and middle verse before mom changed the channel. That night i searched the web for "slam zany" cuz i thought thats what he said. Days later, got it sorted.
I didnt care for it, but I worked at a record store that time and stole every new tape. One day I was sick of all the music I had, dug down, and popped in Slim Shady LP. I was a fan when I was about 1/3 of the way through Brain Damaged". The way he made entire sentences rhyme with entire sentences and be clever and funny was amazing to me
@@woopoganntnt7379 I mean it’s cool that he admires the glorious alter ego he once had but you’ll never hear him say homophobic or any other sensitive topics nowadays
@@J_Stinger i think admiring it is cool but he’s 50 now, i wish he would move on and make music as 50 year old Eminem not trying to be 28 year old Slim Shady especially after that new song cause damn it was some hot ass
Nah man, we’re all blessed that he has morphed into so many different styles. Personally 25 yrs of him in a white shirt just doing battle rapping shit would get old. Slim, Eminem, Marshal, we have 3 heads to one body and we all somehow can relate to all of them. It’s the growth of an artist. We’re lucky to live during this time to see it.
@@GregoryPLoomis Eminem has gotten worse every year since he got famous. that is just facts, his new song, is justt proof of him trying to relive the golden days. but it was just ass bro lost his skill
@@MASTAHMELO Eminem isn't even the best white lyricist. Aesop rock shits all over him. Em is a decent lyricist, but his shit is so one dimensional. It's parody like a rap weird Al
I mean yeah all the lyrics seem to be there and spit professionally.. its not like dre that much to change that on the first album. the slim shady lp was a classic though but it clearly was a compilation of stuff em did versions of already with dre blessings and studio power and seal of approval.
Holy toleedo, i havent heard that demo version of Cum On Everybody for maybe a decade and a half! Throwback! I liked the raw hip hop feel of that beat! Also that version of Im Shady is a drug trip in itself. This is dope!
@@SLIM-SH8Y Haha that’s crazy. But I mean the slower speed compared to the album version. My tape deck would spin the reels slower, making the song much slower and draggy sounding when the batteries were low.
Last night I ODed on rush, mushrooms and dust, then got rushed to the hospital to get my system flushed, I’m an alcoholic and that’s all I can say I call into work cuz all I do is frolic and play, I swallow grenades, take about a bottle a day, of Tylenol 3, and talk about how violent I’ll be, gimme 11 Excedrin my head’ll spin, medicine will get me revving like a 747 jet engine, scratch my balls til I shred a skin, doctor check this rash look how red it’s been
Wow, I've heard all of this, & have all of this but I've never heard these version of "Cum On Everybody", "I'm Shady", "Rock Bottom". It's so crazy. Thank god Dre helped re-produce all these beats & have EM rerecord his vocals for The SSLP. All of these songs are just different takes & different beats. Some with slightly different lyrics. It's trippy to hear after listening to The Slim Shady EP & LP since 1998. So weird... -
To the ppl calling it fake, i dunno i dont think so. There are subtle differences in the lyrics and adlibs enough to make me think this is indeed a demo/first version before mastering with dr dre. This is probably all projects he had ready after the slim shady ep that he brought with him to show dr dre on their first day together
@@keltekmusic4179 straw man argument. There’s plenty more songs on the tape that my point is derived from. Of course the first one is the most polished, also established as it was on the Rawkus mixtape, and meant to serve as an precursor to the rest of the rough takes to say “hey this is the quality of work I can provide, here are some projects I want to work on with you”.
@@puffin310 Soundbombing II featuring "Any Man" came out after The Slim Shady LP in 1999 so how could it be an example of an established song two years before that?
I cant pin my comments since my account isnt verified but heres the discogs for anyone wondering: www.discogs.com/release/11640547-Eminem-Slim-Shady-Demo-97
Label anyone? RAWKUS! THIS IS THAT RAWKUS ERA From Mr. Marshall's early days(demo) I've been talking about lately. I don't think this first track is from his demo though. Because when this came out I was in junior high/ going into freshman year of 99'. Infinite was his first EP in 97', so I'm thinking his demo would have been around the time of his "guess my tint" era. Like from the Early 90's. But THANK YOU SO SO much for putting this up, because any man that would jump in front of a minivan, for a bottle of pain pills and Mini thins is F****** crazy!😊 ❤❤❤
Only the beginning track, "Any Man," was released under Rawkus on their Soundbombing II album. The rest, of course, are demo versions of now released SSLP tracks.
The Infinite was before this but this was also when he was trying to get signed to a deal. Fun fact though. This is the referenced tape that Em hopped in the limo to shop the demo at gunpoint. Ofc so many of the lyrics were recycled before and after tho and I'm not talking as far as them being re-recorded on a dre beat in their entirety. I'm talking certain bars he used over and over and over again in different verses on different songs, a lot of times on other's tracks as a featured verse presenting them as fresh each time. Been a fan since the rawkus days, however, I do see it as believable, that if talking lyrically he is 100% absolutely beatable, in a battle of beast modes, given the right opponent and the right course of attack it certainly is conceivable. Em might even be waiting to retire til someone actually does the unthinkable. Who knows, might even be someone's goal that already knows that it's very much completely reachable. Unfortunately though the skill level required to reach that goal or even higher simply isn't teachable, just like for some this verse probably isn't readable...
Bro stfu, the amount of bars he recycled is relatively quite low & most of em were used in throwaway freestyles or a couple random underground features. If you see a problem with it, you just don't understand the logic of how MC's had to shop their material in the 90s.
I love listening to how artist progress in time. Other Eminem I like to do that for Kanye too, listening to their catalog for as far back as possible and move up
Found the tape Dbree.org and then i found higher quality remastered versions online somewhere and posted them on yt. Dbree.org servers were apparently bombed by russians (not kidding) and thier downloads stopped working. Their servers were located in ukraine, which is currenly in a war with russia. Crazy shit happens man.
I found it on dbree.org, a website that no longer exists. The second track had been uploaded to youtube since 2014, and the first track was officaly released in 1999. These tracks have been uploaded seperatley on youtube for a while, i just combined them into the tape in higher quality then the version i found on dbree.org
