The first time I ever heard an eminem song was maybe...2002... "without me" a class mate was singin it... I was 11. Didn't care nothin'.
I heard "superman" also a little time after, though it was curious but as a brazilian didn't understood very well.
Then came "
like toy soldiers".... around 2004 I used to record song on radio with tapes.... got "mocking bird" also. "Without me" came after, then I just realized it was the song my class mate was singing. I don't put just one song as makin me a fan... but that one blackened was very important.
Started to download mp3 in 2005.... got some snoop dogg shtio like a fake version of nuttin but a G thang and still d.r.e.
Also got D12's purple hills (which I heard on gym some months earlier) and got addicted to it before knowin Eminem was on it.
Then got with Twister (a whack mp3 downloader) "we as americans".. Really got stuck on my head because of its overall feelin on the beat and singin. So I started to get Em shit (recognizin some old songs that I used to hear on radio) ad became a fan.
2005 was just amazin when it came to discover of Eminem. I can easily remeber the feelin hearin "Amityville", got scared as fuck hearin "kim", and plenty of others. Ddidn't care about albums, was just gettin ramdom songs until I get around 50 of them right before christmas, when I got a CD player that supported MP3 and started to hear him and others songs all day all night.
2006 was a year of great dicover also, most pof Em's shit was discovered that year... Bangin "my dad's gone crazy" wild as fuck late night was one of the best memories. Gettin chilled with 'Quitter", "sing for the moment", hatin at the first hearin of 'infinite' because of the whack beat, gettin "hellbound" and becomin a member of a lyrics site october 2005....

Too much shit to tell....
