built 170 days ago
In the late 1990's, Eminem created the character, often seen as an angry, potentially evil, alter-ego, Slim Shady. This character was the subject of the Slim Shady EP released in 1997. According to legend, Dr. Dre discovered an Eminem demo tape on the floor of a garage belonging to record producer Jimmy Iovine. Eventually, Dre made contact with Eminem and they began to put together the Slim Shady LP, released in 1999.

He began to tour, including a solo jaunt with the Beatnuts and Mixmaster Mike.
