Slim Shady LP turns 20: Five ways Eminem changed hip hop | London Evening Standard

Much of hip hop in the 90s was fuelled by uber-masculinity — a reflection of the unsettled, violent environment from which much of it sprung. Biggie and Tupac often found themselves in introspective moods and, at times, started to peel back the bravado, but it was Eminem who shone a soberingly bright light on the darkness within. He rapped without blinking, dredging up his traumatic childhood, his violent thoughts and his addictions, all while managing to score hit single after hit single. It proved that weirdness, honesty and fear could be embraced without sacrificing success.
