Marshall’s groundbreaking debut, “The Slim Shady LP”, has achieved an new milestone, surpassing 1.7 billion streams on Spotify.
Eminem’s 1999 major-label debut, “The Slim Shady LP”, continues to carry its legacy, crossing the 1.7 billion stream mark on Spotify. Despite being Marshall’s oldest project on the platform and typically trailing behind his newer releases in streaming numbers, the album’s cultural significance ensures its enduring appeal.
Currently, “The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)”, released just six months ago, holds the title for the lowest streaming total in Eminem’s catalogue for a change. However, that status is temporary — “The Death Of Slim Shady” has already amassed over 1.3 billion streams in its short lifespan, with an impressive daily gain of nearly 2.5 million streams. At this rate, it is poised to overtake “The Slim Shady LP” in the near future.
While “The Slim Shady LP” may not dominate streaming charts today, its importance in shaping Eminem’s career and its influence on hip hop remain undeniable. For true fans, the album is a touchstone, and its legacy continues to draw listeners back to tracks like “My Name Is”, “Guilty Conscience”, and “Role Model”.
Eminem’s early work still resonates with a new generation of fans while reminding long-time listeners of the raw energy and boundary-pushing lyricism that launched his career into the stratosphere.
