阿姆把超上口的流行音乐创作模式套用在硬式饶舌/嘻哈风格中，将饶舌/嘻哈变成全球化的音乐，并进而兴起所谓的阿姆现象、痞子文化，在他时而嘻笑怒骂、愤世嫉俗、屌儿啷当、玩世不恭，忽而卯起来严词痛批的唱作中，常会让人不知该用怎样的心情去切入，他自己都常说，别把他的歌曲听得太深入，更不要对号入座，大家只要听得开心就好。

从阿姆99年晋升主流乐坛以来，总计创造了‘The Marhsall Mathers LP’、‘The Eminem Show’、‘Encore’等3张冠军与1张亚军专辑‘Slim Shady LP’，累积获得30张金唱片与311张白金唱片销售认证，连同他与哥儿们所组的D-12的2张专辑以及领衔主演的电影“街头痞子”原声带，总计缔创了全球逼近6700万张销售纪录。他的创作才华更为他获得1座奥斯卡、9座葛莱美、4座全英与全美音乐奖、9座MTV音乐录影带大奖与6座MTV欧洲音乐奖。

留在人们记忆深处的包括蝉联全美流行榜12周冠军，荣获奥斯卡最佳电影主题曲的"Lose Yourself";

勇夺英、美冠、亚军，2002年荣获4座MTV音乐录影带大奖的搞笑作"Without Me";

深度刻划歌迷疯狂崇拜偶像心理的英国冠军曲"Stan";

对布兰妮、克莉丝汀等艺人大开炮，勇夺2000年2座MTV音乐录影带大奖作"The Real Slim Shady";

MV中演出克林顿总统偷情事件之作"My Name Is";

描述个人走出成长伤痕，获英、美Top4的感人好歌"Cleanin' Out My Closet";

讽刺杰克逊的英国冠军曲"Just Lose It"，

还有分别精采取样Aerosmith招牌作"Dream On"、流行女歌手Martika成名曲"Toy Soldiers"的励志小品"Sing For The Moment"、痛陈嘻哈恩怨乱象的"Like Toy Soldiers"。

   The average rapper wouldn't be able to grace the pages of Rap Pages, VIBE, Rolling Stone, Spin, The Source, URB and Stress and go on a national tour months before their major-label debut album is released. Then again, Eminem isn't an average rapper. He's phenomenal.

The impending release of the The Slim Shady LP, his first set on Aftermath/Interscope Records, already has underground hip-hop heads fiending for Eminem. Chock full of dazzling lyrical escapades that delve into the mind of a violently warped and vulgar yet extremely talented wordsmith, the 14-cut collection contains some of the most memorable and demented lyrics ever recorded.

For Eminem, his potentially controversial and undoubtedly offensive songs will strike a chord with a multitude of hip-hop loyalists who believe they have little to lose and everything to gain.

"I'm not alone in feeling the way I feel," he says. "I believe that a lot of people can relate to my sh*t--whether white, black, it doesn't matter. Everybody has been through some sh*t, whether it's drastic or not so drastic. Everybody gets to the point of 'I don't give a f**k.'"

Those words are more than just a slogan for the Detroit resident. "I Just Don't Give A f**k" and "Brain Damage" are the two songs comprising Eminem's initial single from The Slim Shady LP. Each tune is sure to paralyze meek listeners with their relentless lyrical assault. Produced primarily by long-time collaborators FBT Productions, the Slim Shady LP also features beatwork from Aftermath CEO Dr. Dre. The N.W.A. alum handled beats for "My Name Is" (the second single), "Guilty Conscience" and "Role Model."

Dr. Dre was so impressed after hearing Eminem freestyling on a Los Angeles radio station that he put out a manhunt for the Michigan rhymer. Shortly thereafter, Dre signed Eminem to his Aftermath imprint and the two began working together. Thoroughly impressed with Eminem's previously released independent Slim Shady EP, Dre said they would include many of the EP's tracks on the album.

"It was an honor to hear the words out of Dre's mouth that he liked my sh*t," Eminem says. "Growing up, I was one of the biggest fans of N.W.A, from putting on the sunglasses and looking in the mirror and lipsinking to wanting to be Dr. Dre, to be Ice Cube. This is the biggest hip-hop producer ever."
But like many other rappers, Eminem's rise to stardom was far from easy. After being born in Kansas City and traveling back and forth between KC and the Detroit metropolitan area, Eminem and his mother moved into the Eastside of Detroit when he was 12. Switching schools every two to three months made it difficult to make friends, graduate and to stay out of trouble.

Rap, however, became Eminem's solace. Battling schoolmates in the lunchroom brought joy to what was otherwise a painful existence. Although he would later drop out of school and land several minimum-wage-paying, full-time jobs, his musical focus remained constant.
Eminem released his debut album, Infinite, in 1996. Desperate to be embraced by the Motor City's hip-hop scene, Eminem rapped in such a manner that he was accused of sounding like Nas and AZ.

"Infinite was me trying to figure out how I wanted my rap style to be, how I wanted to sound on the mic and present myself," he recalls. "It was a growing stage. I felt like Infinite was like a demo that just got pressed up."

After being thoroughly disappointed and hurt by the response Infinite received, Eminem began working on what would later become the Slim Shady EP -- a project he made for himself. Featuring several scathing lines about local music industry personalities as well as devious rants about life in general, the set quickly caught the ear of hip-hop's difficult-to-please underground.

"I had nothing to lose, but something to gain," Eminem says of that point in his life. "If I made an album for me and it was to my satisfaction, then I succeeded. If I didn't, then my producers were going to give up on the whole rap thing we were doing. I made some sh*t that I wanted to hear. The Slim Shady EP, I lashed out on everybody who talked sh*t about me."

By presenting himself as himself, Eminem and his career took off. Soon after giving the Rap Coalition's Wendy Day a copy of the Infinite album at a chance meeting, she helped the aspiring lyrical gymnast secure a spot at the Coalition’s 1997 Rap Olympics in Los Angeles, where he won second place in the freestyle competition. During the trip, Eminem and his manager, Paul Rosenberg, gave a few people from Interscope Records his demo and he made his major radio debut on the world famous Wake Up Show with Sway and Tech. Realizing that this was the opportunity of his lifetime, Eminem delivered a furious medley of lyrics that wowed his hosts and radio audience alike.

"I felt like it's my time to shine," Eminem says of that performance. "I have to rip this. At that time, I felt that it was a life or death situation."

Eminem would soon record the underground classic "5 Star Generals." This record helped establish him in Japan, New York and Los Angeles. It also helped him earn a spot on the inaugural Lyricist Lounge tour, which took him to stages from Philadelphia to Los Angeles.

Set to take the hip-hop world by storm with his unique lyrical approach and punishing production, Eminem and his The Slim Shady LP are sure to have listeners captivated.
"I do say things that I think will shock people," he says. "But I don't do things to shock people. I'm not trying to be the next Tupac, but I don't know how long I'm going to be on this planet. So while I'm here, I might as well make the most of it."

[ 剧情简介 ]

故事始于1995年冬天的底特律。在一家名为The Shelter的hip-hop俱乐部里，每到周末乐手们都聚在一起，进行一对一的60秒钟表演比赛，最后由人群决定谁是此轮的胜出者，进入下一轮直至决出周冠军。当轮到小吉米·史密斯（艾米纳姆饰）上台表演时，他却卡壳了。

　　随后我们进入到吉米的个人生活之中。他在酒店当门童，因与女友分手而丢掉了汽车，不得不重回到拖车里和母亲（金·贝辛格饰）以及同母异父的妹妹一起生活。吉米继续着他的个人奋斗：他不仅要面对被轰下台来的尴尬，还要应付与母亲一起住在拖车里生活的现实。与此同时，母亲男友的出现，来自生活、工作和朋友的压力，与一群hip-hop乐手的激烈竞争……所有的这一切，都需要他去面对解决。

　　故事聚焦于一个年轻人的生活，表现出主人公试图冲破团体与家庭的束缚，建立自己个性的情感斗争，以及他勇于用音乐表达愤怒和恐惧，跨越种族与个人的身心障碍，并最终逃离底特律城的生活经历。

[ 关于影片 ]

片名8英里取自底特律城的8英里街道之名。此街为底特律城市与郊区的分界线，也即白人与黑人居住区的界线。谈到底特律，就不得不提到它的音乐。无论哪个时期，这个城市的音乐总是来自于它的蓝领阶层，hip-hop也不例外。作为一种艺术形式，hip-hop是即兴且快速的，其歌词内容有主题且见解深刻，它要求语言的技巧和对生活的敏锐观察。对于影片中像吉米这样的人来说，hip-hop是他与自己的空虚之间沟通的唯一方式。

　　艾米纳姆（痞子阿姆）对于底特律的hip-hop俱乐部十分熟悉。“我记得如果我输掉一场比赛（hip-hop比赛），我的整个世界就会崩溃掉。很多人会说‘嘿，老兄，这有什么？输了就再来呗！’但我却会觉得自己的生活全完蛋了。这是竞赛，就像体育比赛是运动员的全部生命一样。也许很多人会觉得这种想法很愚蠢，但对于像我们这样的人来说，这就是我们的世界。”

　　在影片中，吉米具有成功所需的技巧，但却缺乏语言的表达能力。“我演的角色吉米——是个爱头脑发热的家伙，” 阿姆说，“就像以前的我一样，其实我现在有时仍然会头脑发热。”影片中吉米在找到发音技巧的同时，也开始寻找超越分界线的道路。毕竟对于他来说，这个“8英里”实在是无法再忍受下去了。

[ 关于痞子阿姆 ]
底特律城是主演艾米纳姆——“痞子阿姆”成长的地方。因此，影片可以说是艾米纳姆的半个人体自传。作为一个白人，闯入hip-hop的世界且后来成为其中的风云人物确实让人有点儿不可思议。艾米纳姆原名Marshall Mather，生于堪萨斯，随后的童年时代一直在底特律和堪萨斯城之间搬来搬去，12岁时随母亲在底特律东部定居。阿姆的童年被剥夺了所有的快乐——不停地转校，领着社会救济金，没有什么朋友，还不时地遭受恶少们的欺凌。于是，音乐成为了艾米纳姆最好的心理治疗。他从高中时便开始表演说唱，阿姆的首张《The Slim Shady LP》一下子吸引了大家的眼球。

　　传奇RAP乐艺术家兼制作人德瑞博士(Dr.Dre)在洛杉矶电台听到了艾米纳姆自由风格(freestyle)的演唱，对其印象深刻，立即寻找这位来自密歇根的年轻人。不久，德瑞聘请阿姆加盟他的Aftermath公司，于是阿姆开始了与这位“最伟大的hip-hop音乐制作人”的合作。此后，阿姆的事业一步登天，《Slim Shady》和《Marshall Mathers LP》都卖了几百万张；后者更是获多项格莱美奖提名，包括年度最佳专辑。这虽然得力于恩师德瑞博士的帮助，但无论是在作词还是曲目编排上，阿姆自己的个人功力都不可小看。

　　与此同时，充满性、毒品与暴力的歌词，放荡的个人生活，愤世疾俗无所不骂的人生态度，与母亲反目成仇的关系以及与妻子的分分和和……所有这些都使阿姆成为了万人瞩目与争议的焦点。这个自命“世界上最卑劣的人”，痛恨在贫穷中成长，痛恨在破碎的家庭中被抚育，痛恨一直无法摆脱的种族偏见。阿姆所得罪的人遍地都是，但他的支持者们仍称他为"Great White Hope"。

　　影片中则包括《Lose Yourself》等3首艾米纳姆的歌，还有来自Jay-Z, Nas, Rakim, 50 Cent, Xzibit, D12等的最新音乐。艾米纳姆与Dr.Dre合作完成了影片的音乐与电影原声大碟。
