History NightmareFuel / Eminem

* On 'Cleanin' Out my Closet' he mentions that his mother had Munchausen's syndrome, and led young Eminem to believe he was sick, and it's implied that he was also led to believe he was dying. He did grow up, of course, but that must have been pretty scary, since young kids don't have any real reason or inclination to disbelieve a parent.

* "Kim", the prequel to "'97 Bonnie & Clyde". The song isn't so much rapped as screamed between Eminem and his impression of Kim. It starts out innocently enough with Em watching Hailie sleep, but quickly goes south as he shoves Kim into a car and reveals he's murdered her new boyfriend and their 4-year-old son (lyrics describing this were actually [[{{Bowdlerise}} left off the ''explicit'' version of the album]], even though a later reference to the murder was left in; a truly explicit version called "Bitch So Wrong", which keeps the words intact, has been leaked and is still floating around online). It ends with him slitting her throat in the woods:

* "97 Bonnie And Clyde" (originally titled ''Just the Two of Us''). It's one of his most haunting songs, sung from the point of view of a father to his daughter after murdering his wife for infidelity. He has his little daughter help him unload the dead wife from the trunk of his car and dump her corpse in a lake.

** Eminem's rage builds up so quickly and so freakishly that when his final scream of "BLEEEEED!" sounds inhuman.

** In particular, there's "Same Song and Dance" which is about kidnapping, raping, torturing and murdering celebrities.

*** The music video is even more unsettling. All of the shots of bloody corpses, Em with [[BlankWhiteEyes those creepy white eyes]]...

** As far as mainstream rappers go, Eminem is pretty hard to beat when it comes to being disturbing. On the same album as "Kim" we have "Amityville", a brazen ode to Detroit which exalts its status as the then-murder capital of the country. Of note is Bizarre's guest appearance, in which he packs his weight's worth of degeneracy into a mere eight bars.
* ''Relapse'' is a album chock-full of murder fantasies and story-telling. In particular, there's "Same Song and Dance" which is about kidnapping, raping, torturing and murdering celebrities.
** "3 a.m" is a horror movie made into music.

* "Bad Guy" off of [=MMLP2=]. It has undoubtedly the most evil beat out of any Eminem song, and it features the same high-pitched string patch that drove Insane from Relapse. On top of that, the song is about Stan's brother trying to kill Eminem in a[[spoiler: successful]] effort that ends in the same sort of murder-suicide that took Stan and his girlfriend. And ''that's just part one.''

** [[OminousMusicBoxTune "Music Box"]], which is possibly his most outright disturbing song to date. Cannibalism, murder, Satanism, pedophilia, stalking, rape, torture....so many great, wholesome flavors make up this little nightmare anthem.

*** In RealLife, after Kim saw a performance of "Kim" where Eminem yelled at and abused a human-sized doll of her on stage, she attempted suicide.

Of note is Bizarre's guest appearance, in which he packs a weapons-grade stockpile of degeneracy into a mere eight bars.

* "'97 Bonnie And Clyde" (AKA ''[[RefrainFromAssuming Just the Two of Us]]''). It's one of his most haunting songs, sung from the point of view of a father to his daughter after murdering his wife for infidelity. He has his little daughter help him unload the dead wife from the trunk of his car and dump her corpse in a lake.

* ''The Slim Shady EP'', the demo that got Em his big break, is just full of it. It starts off with an intro where Slim Shady comes back to life after having been previously "killed" and orders Eminem to look into the mirror as he resists and screams in the background, all accompanied by the sound of shattering glass..

* Probably a more down-to-earth example than most of these, but you may die a little inside after listening to [[Music/{{Eminem}} Slim Shady's]] "Kim", a song he wrote about killing the woman who was back then his RealLife wife.
** The worst part? "There's a four year old little boy layin' dead with a slit throat in YOUR living room". It was so disturbing that the line isn't in any official versions, you can only find it on the internet.

* As far as mainstream rappers go, Eminem is pretty hard to beat when it comes to being disturbing. On the same album as "Kim" we have "Amityville", and "Stan", which is about a [[LoonyFan deranged, obsessed fan]] of Eminem's who ultimately drives off a bridge and kills both himself and his pregnant girlfriend, [[{{Wangst}} just because his letters to Eminem didn't get answered]] (the final verse, which features Eminem finally responding to Stan's letters, has a whopper of a FridgeHorror at the very end). ''Relapse'' is a album chock-full of murder fantasies and story-telling. In particular, there's "Same Song and Dance" which is about kidnapping, raping, torturing and murdering celebrities. Although the song itself isn't bad, "Just Don't Give A Fuck" off The Slim Shady LP has a pretty eerie instrumental.
* [[OminousMusicBoxTune "Music Box"]], which is possibly his most outright disturbing song to date. Cannibalism, murder, Satanism, pedophilia, stalking, rape, torture....so many great, wholesome flavors make up this little nightmare anthem.
* An MTV Brazil VJ said that watching ''Cleaning Out My Closet'' (which features Eminem burying his mother) while pregnant is really unsettling.
* "'97 Bonnie And Clyde" (AKA ''[[RefrainFromAssuming Just the Two of Us]]''). It's one of his most haunting songs, sung from the point of view of a father to his daughter after murdering his wife for infidelity. He has his little daughter help him unload the dead wife from the trunk of his car and dump her corpse in a lake. Then Music/ToriAmos released a cover on her album ''Strange Little Girls'', sung from the murdered wife's point of view, that is somehow even ''worse''.
* "Kim", the prequel to "'97 Bonnie & Clyde". The song isn't so much rapped as screamed between Eminem and his impression of Kim. It starts out innocently enough with Em watching Hailie sleep, but quickly goes south as he shoves Kim into a car and reveals he's murdered her new boyfriend and their 4-year-old son (lyrics describing this were actually [[{{Bowdlerise}} left off the ''explicit'' version of the album]], even though a later reference to the murder was left in; a truly explicit version called "Bitch So Wrong", which keeps the words intact, has been leaked and is still floating around online). It ends with him slitting her throat in the woods:

* "Stan" is fairly disturbing. It's about an AxCrazy fan who eventually commits a murder-suicide because Shady won't answer any of his fan letters in a timely manner. Especially as the tape is starting to end and you can hear [[PunkInTheTrunk Stan's girlfriend screaming from the trunk]] before the car falls into the water...

* ''The Slim Shady EP'', Eminem's first EP and second release, is just full of it. It starts off with an intro where Slim Shady comes back to life after having been previously "killed" and orders Eminem to look into the mirror as he resists and screams in the background, all accompanied by the sound of shattering glass...

** Did I also mention that by track two, Eminem and Slim ''become the same person?''

* "Bad Guy" off of MMLP2. It has undoubtedly the most evil beat out of any Eminem song, and it samples Insane from Relapse. On top of that, the song is about Matthew (Stan's brother) avenging Stan's death by burying Eminem alive at the bottom of the sea. Then the final verse show up, which is... well, just go check it out for yourself. And this is the ''first song'' off the album.

* As far as mainstream rappers go, Eminem is pretty hard to beat when it comes to being disturbing. On the same album as "Kim" we have "Amityville", and "Stan", which is about a [[LoonyFan deranged, obsessed fan]] of Eminem's who ultimately drives off a bridge and kills both himself and his pregnant girlfriend, [[{{Wangst}} just because his letters to Eminem didn't get answered]] (the final verse, which features Eminem finally responding to Stan's letters, has a whopper of a FridgeHorror at the very end). ''Relapse'' has "Same Song and Dance" which is about kidnapping, raping, torturing and murdering celebrities. Although the song itself isn't bad, "Just Don't Give A Fuck" off The Slim Shady LP has a pretty eerie instrumental.

* The album ''Encore'' is not for the faint of heart and isn't the best music to sleep to. The last track closes with Eminem shooting his crowd and killing himself. A robotic voice ends the album saying, "See you in hell, fuckers."

* As far as mainstream rappers go, Eminem is pretty hard to beat when it comes to being disturbing. On the same album as "Kim" we have "Amityville", which is sadly ruined by Bizarre when he comes on, and "Stan", which is about a [[LoonyFan deranged, obsessed fan]] of Eminem's who ultimately drives off a bridge and kills both himself and his pregnant girlfriend, [[{{Wangst}} just because his letters to Eminem didn't get answered]] (the final verse, which features Eminem finally responding to Stan's letters, has a whopper of a FridgeHorror at the very end). ''Relapse'' has "Same Song and Dance" which is about kidnapping, raping, torturing and murdering celebrities. Although the song itself isn't bad, "Just Don't Give A Fuck" off The Slim Shady LP has a pretty eerie instrumental.

* The album ''Encore'' isn't very good for sleeping to. The last track closes with a woman's scream cut off by a gun shot...

** In RealLife, after Kim saw a performance of "Kim" where Eminem yelled at and abused a human-sized doll of her on stage, she attempted to commit suicide.
