Summary
The Slim Shady LP is the second studio album by American rapper Eminem. It was released on February 23, 1999 by Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. Recorded in Ferndale, Michigan, following Eminem's recruitment by Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine, the album features production from Dr. Dre, the Bass Brothers, and Eminem himself. The Slim Shady LP is his first album with a major label after his first album Infinite was released on an independent label in 1996. The majority of the album's lyrical content is written from the perspective of the rapper's alter ego Slim Shady, whom the rapper created on the Slim Shady EP (1997). The album was met with both critical and commercial success; critics praised Eminem for his unique lyrical style, and the album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 behind TLC's FanMail with 283,000 copies sold in its opening week
