The Slim Shady LP dropped a year after Eminem was signed and became the biggest selling rap album of that year debuting at #2 on the Billboard 200 and sold 283,000 copies on it's first week. Marshall wrote lyrics while on a European tour promoting The Slim Shady LP and got inspiration in Amsterdam. While there, Marshall got a phone call from Dre at the studio who was playing a beat in the background. Marshall asked what beat was playing and asked Dre to send a tape of the beat, which would later become "Kill You". Although many songs were written then, the first song he wrote for the album shortly after finishing work on The Slim Shady LP in late 1998 was "Kim", a song that portrays Marshall vividly murdering his then-wife, Kim Mathers. The song doesn't appear on the clean version and is instead it's replaced by "The Kids". The explicit version of this song is also featured as a bonus track on the explicit version. "Criminal" was based on a piano riff that Marshall overheard producer Jeff Bass playing in the next studio, whom also gave Mathers the inspiration for "Marshall Mathers" after hearing him strumming a guitar and spontaneously singing the hook with it. The most famous track "Stan" samples Thank You by Dido. ![]() The 45 King, the song's producer, heard the song on an advertisement for the movie Sliding Doors and added a drum and bass line. As soon as Marshall heard Dido's lyrics, he could hear in his mind the lyrics portraying an obsessed fan and began crafting a song about an obsessed fan who killed himself and his pregnant girlfriend (played by Dido in the video) cause Eminem wouldn't respond to his letters. The recording took two months and by February had 16 tracks and was ready to release the album. Marshall submitted the album to Interscope and they said it was one track short of a great album. Although "who Knew was originally pending to be the album's lead single, Interscope CEO Jimmy Iovine suggested a lighter, more radio-friendly song similar to My Name Is from The Slim Shady LP. This thought greatly stressed out Marshall and led him to write The Way I Am. Mathers would later write " The Real Slim Shady", which was released as the first single off the album. The Way I Am, however, was released as the second single and talks about his fame and struggles going out in public and features Marilyn Manson who was accused of inspiring the Columbine shooting in Colorado. #The marshall mathers lp 2000 zip movie#.
