Eminem releases My Name Is

If hip-hop is the black CNN, then Eminem's debut single was the manifesto for the so-called "white trash" of middle America. Marshall Mathers introduced his alter ego, Slim Shady, rapping about impregnating the Spice Girls. It was the sound of a delinquent with the same issues as his audience, and even after multimillion dollar success, he remained, as Snoop Dogg once said, the great white hope for many a disenfranchised fan.
