6/16/2023 0 Comments The slim shady lp songs![]() In the album’s funniest slice of black humor, a smart-ass parody of Will Smith’s unctuous ”Just the Two of Us” called ”97′ Bonnie & Clyde,” Eminem and his baby daughter take a pleasant drive to a lake - into which he tosses the dead body of the child’s mother. In ”Role Model,” he gleefully debunks the idea of rappers as heroes (”So if I said I never do drugs, that would mean I lie and get f -ed more than the President does”). The Slim Shady LP marks the return of irreverent, wiseass attitude to the genre, heard throughout the album in its nonstop barrage of crudely funny rhymes (”I get blunted offa funny homegrown, ’cause when I smoke out, I hit the trees harder than Sonny Bono”). The current face of hip-hop is so sullen that it’s often hard to recall a time when rap could be deliciously funny - truly naughty by nature. ![]() There’s no question we need someone like Eminem.
