## Resource

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Eminem leaned into his own failings to win the crowds at local rap battles and eventually make his way to the ears of Dr Dre. Tom, Marty, and Allan get together to discuss ultraviolent lyrics, clever wordplay, and terrible singing.
