"The Real Slim Shady" Was Not Originally Intended To Be Part Of The Marshall Mathers LP. Interscope Records' Jimmy Iovine Wanted Eminem To Have A Song To Introduce The Album Similar To The Way "My Name Is" Was The First Single On The Slim Shady LP. Eminem Dr. Dre Tommy Coster And Mike Elizondo Wrote "The Real Slim Shady" Just Hours Before The Final Copy Of The Album Was Due. The First Single Was Intended To Be "Who Knew." The Song Is A Critique Of Manufactured Pop Songs That Were Popular At The Time. It Was A Hit Single Becoming Eminem's First Chart Topper In Some Countries And Garnering Much Attention For Insulting Various Celebrities Including Actress Pamela Anderson's Alleged Abuse At The Hands Of Her Ex-Husband Rocker Tommy Lee Jaws All On The Floor Like Pam Like Tommy Just Burst In The Door And Started Whooping Her Ass Worse Than Before They First Were Divorced Throwing Her Over Furniture Eminem Claims In One Line To Have Murdered Dr. Dre And That He's Locked Him In His Basement. This Was A Spin On One Of His Previous Songs "My Name Is" Where Eminem Says "And Dr. Dre Said..." Then Dre Comes On And Says "Slim Shady You're A Basehead." And Dr. Dre Said—nothing You Idiots/Dr. Dre's Dead He's Locked In My Basement. Comedian Tom Green's Humping Of A Deceased Moose On TV And His Song "Lonely Swedish". Sometimes I Wanna Get On TV And Just Let Loose But Can't/but It's Cool For Tom Green To Hump A Dead Moose. Rapper Will Smith's Brand Of Commercialized And Clean Rap Music And His VMA Acceptance Speech Where He Boasted That He Didn't Need To Curse Or Kill Anybody On His Records Will Smith Don't Gotta Cuss In His Raps To Sell Records/well I Do. So Fuck Him And Fuck You Too. Eminem First Dissed Smith In The Music Video For Dr. Dre's "Forgot About Dre" When A News Reporter Asked Him Questions About The Fire He And Dre Started And He Responded "Well I Was Just Upstairs Listening To My Will Smith CD" In Replacement To The Middle Of Eminem's Verse Due To The Explicit Lyrics. Eminem Mentions Britney Spears You Think I Give A Damn About A Grammy?/Half Of You Critics Can't Even Stomach Me Let Alone Stand Me/"But Slim What If You Win Wouldn't It Be Weird?"/Why? So You Guys Could Just Lie To Get Me Here?/So You Can Sit Me Here Next To Britney Spears? Christina Aguilera Was Angered By His Claim That She Performed Oral Sex On Fred Durst Of The Band Limp Bizkit And On Carson Daly An MTV VJ. Shit Christina Aguilera Better Switch Me Chairs/so I Can Sit Next To Carson Daly And Fred Durst/and Hear 'em Argue Over Who She Gave Head To First. He Also Makes Fun Of The Boy Band NSYNC When He Appears To Dance In The Video With The "group". I'm Sick Of You Little Girl And Boy Groups All You Do Is Annoy Me/so I Have Been Sent Here To Destroy You. . However Chris Kirkpatrick Was Unhappy With This So He Called Eminem A "bully" And Eminem Attacked Him With The Song "Without Me". He References The Bloodhound Gang's Song "The Bad Touch" They've Got The Discovery Channel Don't They/We Ain’t Nothin' But Mammals . The Chorus Is About The Sudden Fashion Changes Caused By Eminem's Success "I'm Slim Shady Yes I'm The Real Shady/All You Other Slim Shadys Are Just Imitating/So Won't The Real Slim Shady Please Stand Up Please Stand Up Please Stand Up?" The Chorus Imitates The Catchphrase Of The Quiz Show To Tell The Truth "Will The Real ______ Please Stand Up?" In An Interview While Promoting His Greatest Hits Album "Curtain Call" Eminem Remarked That The Sound Of The Chorus Was Intended To Recreate That Of A Chainsaw Going Off. The Sudden Jump And Increase In Tempo As Well As Pitch Recreates The Motor Of A Chainsaw Coming To Life.
