"Yo Slim, you gon' let him get away with that? / He tried to play you, you can't let him skate with that"

The Eminem Show came out in May 2002, more than six months after 9/11. And so it's pretty safely a post-9/11 album if you think about things that way. But! There's a Chandra Levy reference ("Who knew shit could be so easy? / How could one Chandra be so Levy?"). This is important because that was a thing everyone was supposed to forget once the business happened. If I remember right, a lot of smug long-view fetishists made a big deal out of how Gary Condit got away with his dirt thanks to tragedy. Which is true I guess since the media stopped covering the story immediately. But Eminem remembered, is my point.
