EPISODE SUMMARY:
One of the best ways to get people’s attention is by being controversial and it might be safe to say that no musical artist has ever been as controversial as rapper Eminem. His brilliant lyricism and ability to put what he sees in the world through a satirical meat grinder has made him one of the most beloved and hated figures in pop culture in the 21st century. But every superstar has their start. And comedian Brendan Sagalow would argue there are few better ways to introduce yourself to the world than the 1999 album The Slim Shady LP.
