    Few introductions in music history have been more blunt.


    “Hi! My name is!”

    With that opening line, Slim Shady sent himself hurtling into notoriety, bringing Eminem and Marshall Mathers along for the ride.

    “The Slim Shady LP,” released 20 years ago this week, was a raw, colorful, parental-advisory-plastered shock wave of a major-label debut.

    Speaking mostly through his alter ago, the character he dubbed Slim Shady, Detroit rapper Eminem dished up knife-edged wit, pop-culture savvy and deep dives into his own turbulent psyche and domestic life. In its blurring of fantasy and reality, the album provoked accusations of homophobia and glorification of drugs and violence. Produced by proven hip-hop heavyweight Dr. Dre and Detroit’s aspiring Bass Brothers, it was a pop crossover smash and a glimpse of rap brilliance.
