Without Me, the lead single from Eminem's fourth studio album, The Eminem Show, was released in 2002.
This was Eminem's first single since his Marshall Mathers LP. He explains in the song that everything was boring and empty with him away, but he was now here to give people something to talk about. He takes shots at The FCC, Limp Bizkit, Moby and Chris Kirkpatrick.
Eminem compares himself to Elvis Presley in this song, noting that both excelled in music styles dominated by black musicians. Eminem points out that many of those who criticize him were fans of Elvis, who did the same thing.
