Artist/Group: Eminem • Album: The Eminem Show • Released: 2002 • Label: Aftermath/Interscope/Shady • Watch the Official Video of this song • Eminem - Without Me (Official Music V... • -------------------------------------------------- • Without Me is a song by American rapper Eminem from his fourth studio album The Eminem Show (2002). Without Me was released on May 15, 2002, as the lead single from the album, and re-released on his greatest hits compilation album Curtain Call: The Hits (2005). Without Me is one of Eminem's most successful singles, reaching number two in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and number one in fifteen countries. • The song was Eminem's return after the successful The Marshall Mathers LP, intended as a sequel to The Real Slim Shady and essentially says that he is back to save the world. It also refers to Eminem's role in the music industry and his effect on culture. • The song mocks a number of Eminem's critics, including then-Vice-president Dick Cheney (including his recurring heart problems) and his wife Lynne, the FCC, Chris Kirkpatrick (of NSYNC), Limp Bizkit and Moby, as well as parodying Prince's decision to change his name to a symbol. It also lampoons comparisons of him to Elvis Presley as a white man succeeding commercially in a predominantly black art form. A line also attacks his mother Debbie Mathers for the lawsuit she filed for the lyrics of his debut single My Name Is . • The opening lyric Two trailer park girls go round the outside is based on the country rap single Buffalo Gals by Malcolm McLaren. The introduction— Obie Trice, real name, no gimmicks —is sampled from Obie Trice's own track Rap Name . • Stephen Thomas Erlewine marked it as one of the best tracks on The Eminem Show. David Browne was positive: 'I've created a monster, 'cuz no one wants to hear Marshall no more,' he (Eminem) whines, partly in jest, in the beat-crazy single 'Without Me'. HipHopDX noted that the blazing single Without Me is one of the only light-hearted songs on the album. NME magazine noted that this song is tackling disco. RapReviews wrote: His fearlessness continues on the lead single Without Me when he lambasts everyone from Dick Cheney's wife to the leading electronic artists of the day. Kris Ex exclaims: Without Me —like his The Real Slim Shady, the leadoff single from 2000's The Marshall Mathers LP—is a fun-loving, barb-laden romp on which he flits from one topic to the next like a bumblebee with ADD. • Without Me is one of Eminem's most successful singles. The song reached the number one position in the charts in numerous countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand for 7 weeks. In the United States, the song reached a peak of number two on the Billboard Hot 100 behind Hot in Herre by Nelly, although it reached number one on both the Mainstream Top 40 and Rhythmic charts. • Without Me was nominated for Record of the Year at the Grammy Awards of 2003 (losing to Norah Jones's song Don't Know Why ), being Eminem's first song to receive a Grammy nomination in a major category. It also received a nomination for Best Male Rap Solo Performance but lost that award as well to the song Hot in Herre by rapper Nelly. • In 2009, the song was honored by Pitchfork Media as the 251st-greatest song of the 2000s. • The song was the 69th-best-selling single of the 2000s in the United Kingdom. • -------------------------------------------------- • Follow Us: • https://www.hhbars.com • / realhhbars • / realhhbars • / realhhbars • #eminem #raplyrics #hiphoplyrics #lyrics
