The subject matter was already highly personal, detailing the trials of living in one of Detroit’s poorest areas, and Eminem’s hopes for girlfriend Kim and their soon-to-be-born daughter, Hailie. However, it boasts a raft of complex rhymes and the verbal erudition of a man who had spent much of his youth absorbed in a dictionary. Recorded in 1996, it found the nascent star still developing a distinctive style. Many overlook Eminem’s little-known debut album, Infinite. At times his lyrics played out like a real-life soap opera, their emotional directness preempting modern hip-hop stars like Drake. The act of playing detective and trying to separate fact from fiction is one of the great pleasures of trawling through Eminem’s music.
