"Without Me" was a hit single from Eminem's 2002 album The Eminem Show. ContentThe 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. It also refers to Eminem's role in the music industry and his cultural effects.
The opening lyric ("Two trailer park girls surround me 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"). A sample from the track, the phrase "nobody listens to techno", became an underground techno bootleg anthem produced by Deep Dish and Danny Howells under the alias Size DDD (Deep Dish Danny). The song was played by many well-known DJs to satirize the claim. The song was also parodied on All That, a skit show on Nickelodeon. The background saxophone riff was sampled for Drunkenmunky's 2002 club hit "E" . Music video

The video for "Without Me" can also be seen playing in a number of other music videos, including 50 Cent's "In Da Club" and Tony Yayo's "I Know You Don't Love Me". Success“Without Me” was Eminem’s most successful single at that point. It reached #1 in many countries, including the U.K., Australia and New Zealand It also reached the #2 spot in the U.S.- none of his singles other than “Lose Yourself” have ever charted as high. “Without Me” was nominated for Record of the Year at the Grammy Awards of 2003 (losing to Norah Jones' song "Don't Know Why"), being Eminem’s first song to receive a Grammy nomination in a major category.
