10 Best Eminem Music Videos

Although it wasn't the first time we'd been introduced to Eminem's Slim Shady persona, it was certainly the first time he brought him to the forefront (as the title implies) and catalytically channelled him to send one gratuitously unapologetic middle finger to the industry.

This could've caused a cataclysm of controversy when the song first ruptured the radio waves all those 21 years ago, and even though it surprisingly didn't it, still to this day, could be cited as his most controversial video. While that's up for debate, one thing is certainly not.

There is absolutely NO chance this would ever get conceptualised today, never mind made.

It's predominant focus on "targeting" marginalised groups such as the mentally ill, domestic abuse and homosexuality would be a resounding no in today's climate. Which is odd when you consider how revolutionary it was for its abrasive braveness to ridicule anyone, that was kind of Eminem's modus operandi back in the day and the way he implements these jokes here - which effortlessly bounce off one another - are nothing short of prime Eminem. Both audibly and visually.

Even though his nihilistic rich humour would be viewed as archaic now, Eminem hilariously changed the landscape of entertainment after putting his bum on someone's lips, leaving a veraciously confrontational imprint as he etched his name into history, with The Real Slim Shady still standing as one of his most genuine side-splitters.
