Marshall Mathers's blog: "Slim Shady's World"

"Anybody with a sense of humor is going to put on my album and laugh from beginning to end." - On his album "Infinite was me trying to figure out how I wanted my rap style to be, how I wanted to sound on the mic and present myself. It was a growing stage. I felt like Infinite was like a demo that just got pressed up." - "I think my first album opened a lot of doors for me to push the freedom of speech to the limit." - On debut album "I had nothing to lose, but something to gain. If I made an album for me and it was to my satisfaction, then I succeeded. If I didn't, then my producers were going to give up on the whole rap thing we were doing. I made some shit that I wanted to hear. The Slim Shady EP, I lashed out on everybody who talked shit about me." - On the Slim Shady EP "One thing I won’t do is put out another song like 'My Name Is,' his breakthrough hit. 'I can't stand that fucking song' he says. 'This album is rawer. Fans looking for bubblegum rap aren't going to get it here." - On the Slim Shady EP

"To all the people who never gave love, and continue to deny me 'cuz of what I look like: suck my dick you fucks!!!" - On people who are unsupportive "There's a difference between realness and an act, and they're an act, and they know they're an act, and they even say they're an act, they even say they're cornballs, they admit it." - On ICP "I don't think I take the beef as seriously as they do, because I don't consider them artists. They look at me as an artist. I think they get more uptight about it. I can look at them and laugh. They can't do anything to me. What can they do to me? They have no credibility, no respect, no talent, they have nothing. All they can do is diss me vocally, they can't diss me lyrically. There's nothing they can do to me as far as the music goes. I don't take it as seriously as they do and I think that frustrates them. I think it's funny. " - On ICP

"Look. I was pissed off!" That's all I could say. I really felt that I wanted to do that shit. At one point in time, I really wanted to do that shit. For real." - On Kim "My father? I never knew him. Never even seen a picture of him." - "My family has never been there for me. They expect things because we're blood." "It was an honor to hear the words out of Dre's mouth that he liked my shit. Growing up, I was one of the biggest fans of N.W.A, from putting on the sunglasses and looking in the mirror and lip sinking, to wanting to be Dr. Dre, to be Ice Cube. This is the biggest hip-hop producer ever." "I would never fucking put them in a rhyme. I don't even want them wondering if I was trying to diss them. I got a lot of love for them. I grew up on that shit. The other rappers, whatever. "

"I don't want them once they turn 18." - On Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera "I hate bitches. [One] fucked up, and it made me look at girls as sluts." - On girls "A bunch of girls, swinging from a nice chandelier, landing on top of me naked...while I lay in a pool of steaming hot water!" – A Spring Break fantasy
