Eminem – Infinite
This is the first track from Eminem’s debut album, which has the same name. The word “infinity” is used in the title as a tribute to scientific notions that have no beginning or end in terms of time, space, size, or scale.
Also take note of Nas’ prominent use in the song, which is part of Eminem’s sophisticated rhyming structure. He is mentioned in passing references to “One Time 4 Your Mind” and “Represent” before the rhyming begins, and the tempo is reminiscent of “Half Time.”
As Eminem wrote about this time period in Angry Blonde:
“The Hip-Hop Shop was a spot in Detroit where all of the city’s illest emcees would meet. It was a regular hangout for me. Back in the Hip-Hop Shop days, there were verses that I would throw out in the Shop. I would just use them in there. Once I started getting a rep, I actually used one of those verses for an open mic and people were trippin on it so I thought ‘’Fuck it. I gotta finish it’‘. I finished the verses and made them into this song. D-12’s denaun (aka Kon Artis) used to do all my beats and he had the original track. I personally think this was the best song I did on the album. That was 95, 96 – the era of just rhyming for the hell of it. People at one point actually said I sounded like Nas, cause I used all these big words. This is show-your-skill type of shit”
On November 17th, 2016, this song was remastered and made available for the first time on digital platforms (iTunes and Spotify).
