In 2001, the track won вЂњOutstanding National SingleвЂќ at the Detroit Music Awards and вЂњBest Rap Solo PerformanceвЂќ at the Grammy awards.Let's admit it: it is hard to make the most definitive ranking of your discography when you are the only musician with 10 consecutive number-one albums, like Eminem. Still in 2000, it also won вЂњVideo of the YearвЂќ and вЂњBest Male VideoвЂќ at the MTV Video Music Awards. In 2000, it won four awards: вЂњMaximum Vision VideoвЂќ and вЂњBest Rap/Hip-Hop Clip of the YearвЂќ at the Billboard Music Awards. вЂњThe Real Slim ShadyвЂќ has won various awards in both 20. In 2011, NME magazine placed the track at #80 on their вЂњ150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 YearsвЂќ, as well as being placed on their вЂњ500 Greatest Songs of All TimeвЂќ list at #396.

DreД¬hart Rankings, Certifications, Accolades & Awards: When released, вЂњThe Real Slim ShadyвЂќ went to #1 in four areas: Iceland, Ireland, Scotland and the UK Singles chart. Songwriter/s: Marshall Mathers, Andre Young, Tommy Coster & Mike Elizondo It shows Eminem in a psychiatrist ward and coincides with lyrics from the song, such as Eminem being surrounded by his clones while singing the chorus: вЂњwill the real Slim Shady please stand upвЂќ, as well as dressing as the celebrities he insulted such as Britney Spears. It features a plethora of well known actors and celebrities at the time, from comedian Kathy Griffin, Pamela Anderson and Dr. It has over 2.2 million likes and almost 390 hundred million views on YouTube as of May 2019. The music video was aired in April 2000, but uploaded to YouTube in September 2010. In EminemвЂ™s usual non-apologetic rapping style, the musician openly insults celebrities such as Pamela Anderson, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears and iconic boy band NSYNC with lines like: вЂњJaws all on the floor, like Pam, like Tommy just burst in the doorвЂќ, вЂњSo you can sit me here, next to Britney Spears?вЂќ (a reference to him getting a Grammy). The song is primarily meant to be a critique on the pop culture and pop music at the time. Dre, Tommy Coster and Mike Elizondo wrote the track. And a few hours before вЂњThe Marshal Mathers LPвЂќ was due, Eminem, rapper Dr. Jimmy Iovine from Interscope Records wanted Eminem to create another track to introduce the album as a whole, similar to his famous вЂњMy Name IsвЂќ track on his вЂњThe Slim Shady LPвЂќ. вЂњThe Real Slim ShadyвЂќ was EminemвЂ™s first number one single in the UK, and was also not originally meant for вЂњThe Marshal Mathers LPвЂќ. The Real Slim ShadyвЂќ is debatably one of infamous American rapper вЂњEminemвЂќ (real name Marshall Mathers) most well-known tracks, released on his third studio album in 2000: вЂњThe Marshall Mathers LPвЂќ.
