Correct Answer: Eminem
(Source)If there's an Eminem lyric from the last 25 years that really offended you, the rapper will probably put the blame on Slim Shady. After his 1996 album flopped and he got evicted from his home, Eminem created Slim Shady as the perfect place to put all his anger. Dr. Dre heard a demo and immediately told Jimmy Iovine that they needed to find the guy behind it and sign him. His second release, "The Slim Shady LP," sold 5 million copies and won Best Rap Album at the Grammys.
