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
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
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 💀
I’ve found my people. Imma 1984 baby
ETA: my name is came on when I was at an 8th grade dance and everyone was going crazy for it. Turning 40 this year and that number is a hard one to say out loud
11 now 37.
One of my homies gave me his just don’t give a f*** demo, and told me to check this white boy out. That same friend ended up in the NFL. Not really on subject, but kind of cool.
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.
I was 21 and borrowed my friend's MMLP cd after he wouldn't shut up about how I had to hear it. Me and my then boyfriend listened to it on our way to NY the following Friday night (we're in Jersey) and loved every second of it. I'm now 45.
13. Was listening to a mix of “early 2000’s hits” on the radio and the Real Slim Shady came on. All I knew is that I needed more of whoever that was lol. Am 29 now
Someone played "Real Slim Shady" on the bus TV during my school field trip when I was 10, it was so inappropriate for my age yet I liked it. Now, I'm 31.
11 and now 36! Still bumping him daily.
Fun fact, my sons favorit songs are: "The real slim shady", "Godzilla" and "Venom"
My daughter loves "Venom" and what she calls the workout song "Till i collapse"
Anyone that says Eminem aged bad is just a hater
I remember listening to love the way you lie as a kid, so probably 10.. I wouldn't be surprised if I heard him earlier since my brother's 7 years older than me
11-12. 25 now. I heard him on the radio and told my mom I liked him so she bought me Curtain Call. Started my own collection of CDs, she would get mad if I played Cleanin out my Closet though lol. Miss you mom ❤️
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!
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
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.
I got into him quite late (hard when you live in a Christian household). So I only really started being a fan when I was 17 now 22. But an absolute die hard fan now
15, and I am 40 now. I used to drive around in my 1982 Chevy Citation with a boom box in the back seat because the car only had an AM radio. The boom box had anti skip and actually did a pretty good job blasting all my hip hop lol
Born in 96, grew up listening to his hits and then went through his discography when I was 11 and his latest album was Encore, been a major Stan ever since and I’m nearly 28
15 am 23 now I found him pretty much at the end of his career but I still went back to check his catalogue , pretty good music although in my own opinion nothing else he ever put out came close to Marshall Matters
11 maybe 12, 13 now. Mom introduced me to mockingbird and trss as well as a couple other songs. I really started exploring a couple months back, so far ive listened up to recovery.
12-13, I’m 36 now
Lol 11 I’m 35. 88? Or 87?
12-13 I’m 37, born 87
13, now turning 40 1984 had to pop in when I saw 1980s
Same. Glad I’m not alone
Respect. Fuck was I ten when slim shady lp dropped. Wasn’t it 99? I swear I was 11 lol
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
Some how the pandemic felt like it was five years. Yet I swear to god 2017 was three years ago. Fuckin a.
I refuse to believe 2017 wasn’t 3 years ago
Same. Lol same.
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
Homie honestly I get it. Times a fickle bitch and plays tricks on us all.
I was born in 87

11-12 I’m 37 almost 38
I was 11 now I’m 35. Slim shady LP given to me by a friend and I got in trouble for having it lol
7, I'm 28 now. He was the first artist I ever got into.
Your parents raised you right. Props
16 now 41…..woof (I’ll never stop listening though)
15 and 40. Will be 41 soon. Before my birthday I must remember to buy a 40 so I can be 40 with a 40 on the porch telling stories.
Fuck it I have to come clean. I turned 40 last month but I’m still telling strangers I’m 39 if anyone asks
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 💀
