Utilizing a bouncing, instantly recognizable sample from Labi Siffre's 'I Got The...', this single served as a wildly provocative introduction to the rapper's alter-ego, Slim Shady.

It broke massive commercial ground, establishing him as a brilliantly transgressive new force in global pop culture.
