What was your very first Eminem Song and where did you hear it? My first song ever was "cleaning out my closet", I was sitting in my older brother´s room. I was like 6 or 7 years old and my autistic ass even took it literal: "I´m sorry Momma, I never meant to hurt you! I never meant to make you cry but tonight I´m cleaning out my closet." And I asked myself, Why is he apoligizing to his Mom for cleaning out his closet? It took me a while to get what he ACTUALLY meant  |

The Real Slim Shady on MTV. Used to watch MTV all the time back then! It was like my radio. I remember I was so disgusted when he spat on those onion rings 😂😂 but what I remember best was him chasing that boy band down the street with a fake butt! 😂
I fell in love with that video and had to watch it every time it was on! Then Stan came out and I recognized his name and was just as obsessed with that video as with the RSS. That's when I became a fan. Although I didn't become a hard core stan before 2005. No idea what took me so long... 🙄 lol

My grandma loved that video too, because of the scene with his fake butt. I wish I would´ve been old enough when the real slim shady was on, I´ve never seen it until I was like, 9 or 10 years old. |

I saw the video for My Name Is one morning on MTV as I was getting ready for school. It totally stopped me in my tracks because it was so different than everything else at the time. That must've been early 99. I think I finally got SSLP after his VMAs performance that year and I've been a fan ever since.

I heard my name is, wasn't that much of a fan, but my older brother and his girl thought the song was really dope. So you know...you get influenced by older people lmao! But still wasn't the biggest fan of the song.
Then The real slim shady came out and BOOM! That song was everywhere and I loved it sooo much, the video too. That song to me is the biggest success ever, I know it is not, but it's the song that seemed to be everywhere every 5seconds the most in all the years I lived lol. I don't listen as much radio nowdays and music channels like MTV don't really play music anymore, but anyway it's just an impression I had, part of being a kid too but I know it's totally false... It's not even Em's biggest success...
Then I realized that this "Eminem" dude was the same one who made My name is, never knew it before buying the album because I hadn't seen My name is video
The way I am came out not long after and that song was also huge to me! I remember watching the video, having all sort of different emotions. It was so raw and powerful, like I would froze infront of that video., couldn't take my eyes off of it. I think it is still one of my favorite Eminem's song and video ever, if not the one.
I rushed to the store, bought MMLP, loved it so much, bought SSLP, bought tickets for anger management tour. I was 13!

I was 13! I totally agree on the way I am, It´s really in my top 5 eminem songs! It´s just a perfect song from start to finish and the video is adding to it. |

I was a big MTV junkie and that's where I first saw EM on Carson Daly's "TRL" and then the MTV Awards, and the MTV Video Awards, followed by "Spring Break." I was too into NIN to pay any attention to a wise ass obnoxious rapper; and it really wasn't til EM kinda grew up and did "Stan" and "Eight Mile" that I got hooked.

I was in a restaurant with my friends and we heard 'Lose Yourself'. we all looked up and were like 'hey this song is so good!' then i found out it was by Eminem who at the time i had heard of but never been a very big fan. I went out and got like 5 albums and listened to them all. So short answer? Lose Yourself

The first Eminem song I heard was Infinite. I knew Eminem's first manager back in the day.

It's hard to say. Tbh I used to have a belief back in the day that knowing the artist that created a song would bias my interpretation of that song (partially true) so I worked to NOT know what artist made my favorite songs.
So I think technically my first song was My Name Is or When I'm Gone, around 2005-06. But I didn't realize the artist name or create a connection with the dude until Relapse came out in 2009.

I was born and raised in India and I think a lot of kids in non-English speaking countries including me knew these English songs: Thrift Shop by Macklemore, Smack that by Akon feat. Eminem and Love the way you lie by Eminem feat. Rihanna. But the song that got me hooked to me Em’s music was Warning shot- the diss to Mariah Carey, the song charges me up
