Composer – Andre Young, Marshall Mathers, Tommy Coster.Information from the interior booklet of The Marshall Mathers LP Griffin said during a July 21, 2005, interview on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno that Eminem selected her for the video because fellow rapper Snoop Dogg told him she was "really funny." Credits Music video Īctress and comedian Kathy Griffin, who is also known for insulting celebrities in her act, appears in the video as an attending nurse in a psychiatric ward. The song has been in many films, notably 21 Jump Street (2012). Rolling Stone praised the sound of the single as "slick, bright, melodic funk that's so R&B-ish, you can dance to it". Sure it's pop, but of the most demented nature." As with the other Dre crafted tunes on the album, there's plenty of cool special effects bustling about-fart noises, heavy breathing, all of it coalescing with Em's cartoon character on crystal meth delivery.
Leave it to Em to juice it up with ear candy effervescent, but keep the words in the subversive. It would be a total pop smash if it weren't for the lyrics, though. "The album's obligatory 'pop' number is exposed on 'The Real Slim Shady,' which chugs and lurches along to a boinging electro funk beat. "'The Real Slim Shady,' the first single from the album, is a modest step to the mainstream-a fresh and funny, almost PG-rated swipe at everything from the Grammy Awards to shallow teen pop." The defamation case was settled in 2001 for $25,000 as Debbie Mathers' former attorney was awarded $23,354-netting Ms. "In the aftermath of Slim Shady, he married the girlfriend he imagined killing, while his mother, immortalized in his hit single 'My Name Is' ( I just found out my Mom does more dope than I do), sued him for $10 million for defamation of character." In the video, he wears a superhero costume and an insane asylum straitjacket while rapping, 'I'm sick of you little girl and boy groups, all you do is annoy me / So I have been sent here to destroy you / And there's a million of us just like me / Who cuss like me who just don't give a fuck like me / Who dress like me walk, talk and act like me / And just might be the next best thing, but not quite me!' Of course, the irony is built into the song: Eminem's signature style the bleached blond hair, pale skin, humungous T-shirt has spawned droves of lookalikes and wannabes. "In a number of songs on the new album, including the current single, 'The Real Slim Shady,' Eminem slams his 'enemies' with comic book intensity. The first single was intended to be "Who Knew." Critical reception Dre, Tommy Coster and Mike Elizondo wrote "The Real Slim Shady" just hours before the final copy of the album was due. Interscope Records's Jimmy Iovine wanted Eminem to have a song to introduce the album, similar to the way " My Name Is" was the first single on The Slim Shady LP. "The Real Slim Shady" was not originally intended to be part of The Marshall Mathers LP.
