August 2000 – ‘the way I am’ – Aftermath/Interscope Records.
It was the second single from his worldwide hit album, The Marshall Mathers LP. In the tradition of most of Eminem's follow-up singles, "The Way I Am" features a much darker and emotionally driven sound than the album's lead single, in this case "The Real Slim Shady." The music video plays a slow instrumental of his song "Kim", and part of the "Steve Berman" skit (which is the track before this song in the album), and when the song starts, it shows him about to jump out the window of a tall building, and shows him falling through the sky. Other shots show fans coming up to him, asking for his autograph. At the end of the video, when Eminem hits the ground, it bounces him safely like a giant mattress.
