The A-side is a remix of the independent classic with the same lyrics. Be careful not to play this for the kids, as Eminem (a/k/a Slim Shady) throws shocking scenarios your way on some straight up bring-the-pain stylings. This anthemic single is sure to get stuck up in your cranium like old algebra lessons from 9th grade (be sure to carry the "9").

Eminem's B-side is an off-the-wall two-part story over some hard hitting drums courtesy of Dr. Dre's studio composer Mel Man. This song is sure to bring some chuckles from everyone as Em's mom "knocks his brain out of his skull with the remote control." Not for the weak and squeamish.

Overall, Eminem is one of those rappers that comes along every once in a long while and knocks the hip-hop community onto its collective rear. Nothing old here, all crispy and fresh on Eminem's major label debut single.

Eminem is one of the only people out there today that tells it like it is. What I like most about him is that he doesn't try to kiss up on everybody just because he's a white guy trying to rap.
