The Real Slim Shady Lyrics

The Real Slim Shady lyrics is one of the defining songs for Eminem as an artist. Coming from his classic 2000 album, The Marshall Mathers LP, the song is a scathing commentary on the music industry and how disruptive he knew his career had been thus far. The album is widely regarded to be his best, and also contains the incredible “Stan”.

The Real Slim Shady Meaning

Finally, he relates his character of Slim Shady to all of his fans, saying that while none of them can be the original Slim Shady, we’re all capable of doing the psychotic things that he does.

By this he means that he is authentically himself, and encourages listeners to be themselves too. He isn’t exactly suggesting we go out and follow in Slim Shady’s footsteps, but perhaps to follow our dreams and stand up for ourselves.

Now, nearly 25 years after the release of this song, we can see that Eminem meant what he said with “The Real Slim Shady”. He’s topped the Billboard charts with 10 different albums, sold out arenas, and headlined music festivals worldwide, and has become the best-selling rapper of all time.

Eminem has also continued to involve himself with beefs and just generally stir the pot with both his music and his persona, although he no longer has to prove himself. He’s chicka-chicka Slim Shady.
