Without Me

"Without Me" was a hit single from Eminem's 2002 album The Eminem Show. The song was Eminem's return after the successful The Marshall Mathers LP, intended as a sequel to "The Real Slim Shady" and essentially saying that he is back to save the world. A video featuring Dr. Dre was shot, showing Eminem and Dre as heroes (clearly parodying Batman and Robin) trying to save the youth from the bad influence of music, making fun of his critics. These include Dick Cheney (and his wife Lynne Cheney), the FCC and MTV, Elvis Presley, Chris Kirkpatrick (of *NSYNC), Limp Bizkit and Moby.

The opening lyric ("Two trailer park girls go round the outside...") is based on the single "Buffalo Gals" by Malcolm McLaren, while the introduction which is spoken by Obie Trice ("Obie Trice, real name no gimmicks."), had helped the rapper who was soon (at the time) to achieve some success under Eminem's Shady Aftermath label (the intro was actually taken from the beginning of Trice's own track called "Rap Name").
