Remember Me?


(Thanks to Brett Michaels for the style advice on this pic)

In 1999 having just come on the scene and straight onto MTV with the Slim Shady LP (triple platnium thank you very much) Eminem made a cameo appearance on a rap compliation called Soundbombing II put together by the Beat Junkies. It's a veritable who's who of rap with the likes of Q-tip, Mos Def and Common (when he was way less white than he is now). It's no suprise that Eminem bats first on this record with "Any Man." Raw, hilarous and chock full of one ridiculous head scratching line after the other his shit was unlike anything anyone on the scene was doing and it was long before he started rapping about his wife and daughter every two seconds.

What the fuck happened to him and how is it possible to sell that many records and dissappear?

Enjoy

His best friend from high school, a rapper named Proof, got shot and killed. He's purportedly holed up in his McMansion and has put on tons of weight.

And that don't even make sense, like dykes using dildos.

Nice analogy, Alvy. ;) Funny, I hadn't even noticed he wasn't around.

The analogy belongs to Mr. Mathers. I would never use such crude language.

Ah, I see. It sure didn't sound like you.

best friend kilt, trying to stay off the drugs = lots of weight. also see 'this guy is DEFINITELY manic/depressive.'

ba-biddy-boo-da, da christopher reeves, just like sonny bono when he's hitting some trees.
