Productions, Jeff and Mark Bass's own imprint, it was pressed in a famously small run and sold out of the trunk and a handful of Detroit shops. The reception was brutal: the album was dismissed locally as too close to Nas and AZ, too polite, too plainly the work of someone still finding a voice. Eminem has spoken since about how hard that landing hit. The answer to it was the Slim Shady persona and everything that followed.
