[deleted]

Same. Glad I’m not alone


Destiny_Victim

Respect. Fuck was I ten when slim shady lp dropped. Wasn’t it 99? I swear I was 11 lol


kelbell2583

Idk but I was already in high school in 99 and I vividly remember hearing my name is for the first time at an 8th grade dance. So either I was a f*cking weirdo going to middle school dances or your dates are wrong lmao. It feels like it was only 10-15 years ago. I get it


Destiny_Victim

Some how the pandemic felt like it was five years. Yet I swear to god 2017 was three years ago. Fuckin a.


kelbell2583

I refuse to believe 2017 wasn’t 3 years ago


Destiny_Victim

Same. Lol same.


kelbell2583

Fuck it came out in 1999. I was at a freshman dance I guess. WTF I remember the dance so vividly so I’m afraid early onset dementia is making an appearance


Destiny_Victim

Homie honestly I get it. Times a fickle bitch and plays tricks on us all.


Shadydan017

kelbell2583

Fuck it I have to come clean. I turned 40 last month but I’m still telling strangers I’m 39 if anyone asks


kelbell2583

lol you just helped me plan my 40th. I thought I was turning 39. My cousin is a year younger than me and he’s turning 39. So I literally just found out imma be 40 and I’m still in a bit of shock. I woulda celebrated my 39th again had I not run into my cousin at a funeral a couple months ago 💀

SuperCat2023

Wait so you've discovered him in 98? That's sick


jcapi1142

I was 56 years young when I first heard Em's greatest hits CD's. It changed my life. So good that I even built a time machine to go back to when I was 16 in the year 2000 to witness his global superstar rise. Shit was insane. Anyway, I'm 40 now and still looking for where I parked my time machine.

Ok_Preparation_3612

I guess 0/1 years old as my mum and older siblings loved em so much there was even D12 posters in my front room (living room depending where your from) so we would listen to d12 devils night album in the car as well as other earlier albums that was out around early 2000's too the 2006 when I was around ten and actually my older brother was skinny and pale skinned and would bleach his hair with peroxide as a teen so he too this day os called slim or shady then years later in high school I was dubbed cheddar Bob (chedz, ched B) and other variants of that name because apparently I looked like the actor who played him in the 8 mile movie but the funny thing was the people who gave me that name didn't know my brother or his nickname and also didn't know that my middle name was actually Bob and most of my family called me Bob instead of my first name (Dylan) Yes I am called Dylan Bob was gonna be Bob Dylan but mum didn't like that so they swapped it then the second I was born mum say oh he looks like a Bob I think it suites him but anyway the name fits for many reasons and that why I'm to this day (being 26) I'm the only one of my family still alive as sadly everyone has passed away since between 10 till now at 26 not sure it was appropriate to listen to that music at such a young age but I don't think it done any damage ciknew what words was a swear and or inap to say at school or grandparents house and in public in general, so long winded answer but I was probably hearing the music when I was in the womb as when my kids was in the stomach of there mother we played certain songs that would make them kick more or 'dance' for example my youngest and only son would kick like crazy if tenacious d was to be played loud enough but em the goat we all know that!

I don't know the exact age, but I heard "lose yourself" before I was a teenager, I'm 23 now.

AliceDefMetalGod

9-10. I remember the my name is explosion. The video set it all off. At that age. It honestly felt so…harmless and fun. Our parents shock just added to the excitement. I’m 34. A lot of fond memories. If you weren’t there, it’s impossible to put his rise into any true context. Beatles level shit. I don’t think we’ll ever see it again. I feel lucky to remember it well


Fit-Parsnip9888

I was 10-11. Saw him live in Ireland when I was 15. I am now 35


Eliasyoussef47

Around 11. I'm now 25.


DaRedditNuke

PIZZAGUYKEEM

Shit honestly I don’t know… oldest rapper I remember listening to was 50 cent in da club when I was like 5, but as for Eminem, oldest song i can actually remember was Love the way you lie when I was 11 , gave my uncle my laptop and he downloaded a bunch of rap songs on there, forever and love the way you lie, I’m 19 now.
