Slim sets himself up as an absolute thug, rapping about Nine Inch Nails and a ton of tongue-in-cheek violence and sex and drugs. My Name Is - this song slaps! This song's such a banger. It's a little short, though, so it could have been taken out entirely. Slim's "yeah, don't do drugs" comment at the end is super ironic, given that he definitely does drugs. It's pretty funny, it makes you think that Jeff's being held at gunpoint by Slim and made to say a bunch of stuff that he doesn't really want to say. Public Service Announcement - this is a skit performed by Em and Jeff Bass. Instead, Eminem donned a brand-new persona, one that would change the face of hip-hop forever. Well luckily for all of us, that's not what happened. He was getting a lot of unfair feedback about how he was a white guy trying to make it big in the rap game, told he should go into rock and roll or something ridiculous like that. An unfair thing to say, but it was kind of true, so Eminem had to change gears. Marshall was a guy with something to prove, but he was regrettably slammed by the critics for sounding too much like Nas and AZ.
