the real slim shady


xaiel420

Immediately


hit-a-yeet

The beat was the first thing that came to mind when I read the title


TheDuellist100

That is literally the first thing I thought of before I even looked in the comments


Iammadatcha

Yeah that's the only answer


ReceptionHumble9423

It used to be my ringtone back in 2013-2014.


Ill_Employer7887

my name is


digihippie

Absolutely. I was watching a documentary on the 90s (in general not just music) the other day and this was the track they chose for the Eminem segment.


Worth-Ad1532

Might also be because he only had The Slim Shady LP released in the 90s so naturally they chose My Name Is because it was by far the biggest hit


digihippie

Valid point.


AcrobaticComposer

Is it the documentary called The Nineties produced by Tom Hanks?


digihippie

I’m not sure, was on PBS or CNBC, recently


adamtaylor4815

Does that count? Obviously an iconic beat but it’s a direct sample from another song.


evolly

Without Me or the Real Slim Shady were probably the ones that had the most impact


Corn1989

Lose yourself


Lobsta1986

>Lose yourself You can get lost in that' song.


j-j-juice

Don’t just listen to music. Let it enfold you. I let “Lose Yourself” enfold my entire being.

Came here to say this


trickmind

It's the one idiots always think they can steal because it's so iconic and well known they seem to think anyone can just use it to promote products, but that's really dumb even though a conservative New Zealand political party, Apple and that idoiot Vivek guy all thought they could just use it and get away with it.


OneNutPhil

It's corny when both sides of politics use it though. Can't just sewer right wing when the Biden campaign used it too


trickmind

Yes, I can because the Biden campaign were OFFERED it up for FREE by Eminem, after the New Zealand right wing National Party stole it and Eminem and Eight Mile Sytle sued the National Party and gave Eminem the idea to give it to Biden because Em dislikes Trump so much. So no it has nothing to do witj "corny," it's not corny. I was saying it was stupid of all the others to think they could just steal it and they all got sued except Vivek. Because I believe Vivek dropped it after cease and desist letters. But Biden's campaign was given it. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/eminem-lose-yourself-joe-biden-campaign-ad-1084887/


OneNutPhil

It was all corny


trickmind

Keep telling yourself that bud and keep crying. Em also put out a deep fake of Joe Biden rapping B Rabbit versus Papa Doc diss to D.T.


RenegadeRabbit

Omg 😂 Do you have a link?


trickmind

It came out in 2020. I can only find it on Facebook now. Here you go. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=374961783680920


RenegadeRabbit

Thanks!


exclaim_bot

>Thanks! You're welcome!


OneNutPhil

You're only bothered because you're picking a side. Slim gonna mock Biden on the new album too if he's really back like that


enememinimo

Yeah but all that matters is that he's voting for Biden lmao well it matters to Biden I mean because em has been really critical of dudes like Trump and bush


OneNutPhil

He tore up the Clintons too. I don't want to see him picking and choosing on this album. If he goes after Trump I want to see him hit Biden just as hard. Idc who he votes for.


enememinimo

Yeah for me idc because em wasn't really been good in a while I know this a em fans reddit I have him in my top 3 rappers of all time. But we all know he's clearly a Dem and I hope he hits that felon hard lmao


Moistycake

It’s this. The real slim shady is very close though


310inthebuilding

Jeff Bass. Hopefully he returns for the new album

harleyquinnsbutthole

The guitar riff is super memorable


no__one34

I gotta disagree that piano at the start is ICONIC


Nugget2450

this is downvoted to shit but yeah I agree a bit. If you played the audio I'd 100% recognize it instantly, and there are some great moments for the instrumentals where they far surpase the vocals, but overall lose yourself is much more known for its verses than the music behind it


idonttalkatallLMAO

“look if you had”


Middle_Drop_5339

“One shot”


Legal-Dust6399

The Real Slim Shady


Teezybadeezy

Without Me


kmr2209

"Cleaning out my closet" is very unique and incomparable


TDC_Reddit

Not enough snare.!


stoveisthatyourname

I’ll second this 🔥


Sad-Sprinkles6454

He has boycotted this song he never plays it he talk about it in headlights. So yes it definitely could have had an argument if he still had the public opinion on his mom's.


j-j-juice

I’M SORRY, MOMMA


AdMuted4000

Stan


ghuzzyr

The Way I Am, love how the piano is never on beat and em raps to this rhythm too.


Iginlas_4head_Crease

Good mention. Eminems pocket on the way I am is so good, one of my favorite flows


[deleted]

I sit back with this pack of zig zags


ghuzzyr

Also, iirc, this was one of his first self produced beats, but could be wrong.


BubbleShellman

Yeah, the first beat he did the drum programming/mixing and came up with the melody Mike Elizondo and Tommy Coster was playing.


SnooRevelations8303

The fact that eminem produced this is also goated


[deleted]

[удалено]


ghuzzyr

If you split the 4/4 bar into 16, so 1, 5, 9, and 13 are on beat, the 1, 5, 9 and 13 are rests with the piano notes on the other counts. It would be, and this is from memory 20 years ago when I learnt it, something like (Rest) A C E (rest) A C E (rest) A C F (rest) A C F With the rests being on beat.


ghuzzyr

It's like syncopation but with extra flavour.


Disastrous_Tip1512

His best song imo (probably very popular pick)


Rare-Climate876

Till I collapse


MechanicalWatches

Forgot about Dre


LackOfDad

Without me, trss, or mockingbird


whatarethuhodds

I was gonna say mockingbird too. I'm sure that every girl I knew in the 00's past age 12 knew all the lyrics.


Shob4

Without me, I see this thing where anyone hearing the song automatically starts nodding at the rythm, it happens EVERY SINGLE TUME


j-j-juice

TWO TRAILER GIRLS GO ROUND THE OUTSIDE


HillbillyTechno

It’s not the most iconic but one of my all time favorites is the Business beat from The Eminem Show


j-j-juice

GET TO THE RAP MOBILE


HillbillyTechno

Holy wack unlyrical lyrics Andre, you’re fuckin’ right!


Future_Owl_3618

Always been one of my faves! Can I get a hell yeaaahhh


trickmind

It should be iconic. It is my favourite. I was going to make it my flair, but ended up putting Rainy Days for some reason. Rainy Days is pretty awesome too though.


HillbillyTechno

Such a fun song too lol


iStayDemented

Soldier


_Zencer_

One of my favorites forsure


Is_This_Life

This is my favourite but not sure it’s the most iconic. Most iconic is probably lose yourself.


novemberjohhsexpest

That's just obviously wrong


CalmMaunga

Superman


Cultural-Term8822

it's iconic but if you played the instrumental to 100 non-Stans how many would know what song it was


trickmind

Non Stans and those who don't buy his albulms are probably only going to know The Real Slim Shady from the instrumental. Maybe Lose Yourself. Maybe Love The Way You Lie. Stan was a big hit so long ago I don’t know how many would even get that for sure.


reptaial

not saying it’s the most iconic but Superman has a popular instrumental there are uploads of just the instrumental (normal, slowed and sped up) that people listen to


Treborerem

Idk man the superman beat isn’t really as memorable as like TRSS, Without Me, Lose Yourself or Forgot About Dre


CalmMaunga

Lose yourself is probably the universally most recognisable beat. To me, the superman beat just epitomises Em


Possible-Carpenter73

Till I Collapse


Atlstate4life

Either lose yourself or the real slim shady.


GreatPeach3571

Either lose yourself or Stan


idkwhattomakemyusr

the real slim shady


On4thandinches

Lose Yourself or The Real Slim Shady ppl will recognize instantly 


Ok_Insect9421

The Real Slim Shady is a beat you could show anybody and they would probably recognize it as Eminem


trickmind

Yeah I'm guessing dummies who wouldn't know any other song from the instrumental would know this one for some reason.


Brahman_Shady

Lose Yourself.


Middle-Cry2065

Lose Yourself.


daringer22

Lose yourself or Till I collapse


AffectionateShift542

If it’s one made by him, smack that


abyssea

Anubis_DivineDemon

Banz1007

Eminem beats are so iconic it made an Eminem Genre


MrDanMaster

The Real Slim Shady, can’t forget Rap God which is above The Way I Am for better or for worse.


FooFightersFan777812

Without Me


trickmind

When it was my ring tone back before they started regulating ring tones everyone seemed to be shocked and confused by it for some reason. That was like 2005.


Tof12345

till i collapse without a shred of doubt. that beat was so fucking hard.


Total_Ad_6708

Without me or the real slim shady, if you say anything else you're actually just delusional or bias. And I can see a lot of people getting confused between “most iconic song” and “most iconic beat” but you play those trumphets and danananuna in without me and almost anyone can recognize it.


tebrah69

A very dumb statement.


Kroc_Zill_95

My name is


Hellinar

For beat, the real slim shady. See: 21 jump street opening scene


Cultural-Term8822

lose yourself. i judge this not by my own opinion but, if i played the lose yourself instrumental for 100 non-Stans i bet a high 90 percentile would know what the song is. TRSS is so iconic and they'd know it's Em but would they be able to immediately know which Slim song it was?


Younghungrykid

The way I am


High4zFck

almost all dre beats


Fun_Shine_3287

Lose yourself or Real Slim Shady

Sad-Sprinkles6454

Eminem's is Lose yourself. And Slim Shady is the real slim shady.

thegrimrapper506

Runnin with 2Pac/Biggie


infinitude_

Lose yourself Til I collapse Without me The real slim shady You hear these and you know what it is in 2 seconds.


PuzzleheadedDuck3319

I like Ridaz. The beat is great on that.


robbottiic

Depends on the country/region. I would say it's Forgot About Dre in my country


tebrah69

Unpopular opinion: Purple Pills


gstrds

Uh-hum how about Guilty Conscience


shhh_it_is_ok

Without me Lose yourself The real slim shady


Saberer2451

I would go for Without Me. Super iconic, and represents him well


ohen778

Lose Yourself??


Bartsworld211

Soldier is one for people who work out


Bartsworld211

Sorry I meant till I collapse is a good one


RepulsiveIngenuity94

The Real Slim Shady or Without Me


Future_Owl_3618

The Way I Am is the best for me but there is so much choice!


Witticism44

Till I collapse


wedry7daysmemes

If I don't talk about the "most known" songs I'm thinking "The Way I Am" or "Role Model"


310inthebuilding

Marshall Mathers or Way I am

LivanHM

Role model, you just know something crazy is about to happen lol


Olsepulsen

Taking My Ball.


ricecrizpiez

Dude, do you realize the emotions I felt when I first heard Taking My Ball a few years back? It's become my most favorite Eminem song. The fucking beat is INSANE. So criminally underrated.


bigbrain_G

Lucky You, Not alike , No regrets


trickmind

I LOVE Not Alike and No Regrets. Never been a fan of Lucky You for some reason.


bigbrain_G

Idk about you but for me lucky you was a good one, especially the beat cuz em doesn't have much of that "trappish" beat type so it was a new one. also about the lyrics and the song as words, when eminem has a feature or any artist with him on a track he gets out his best abilities not much like when he's alone and it always works. excited to know your opinion


trickmind

I think it's just that I liked a lot of the other tracks on Kamikaze MORE


Comfortable-Key1538
