On the Detroit legend’s diamond-selling album The Marshall Mathers LP, Eminem stuck up his neck out to stick up for his Interscope labelmate on his hit single “The Way I Am” with the lyrics: “When a dude’s getting bullied and shoots up his school/And they blame it on Marilyn and the heroin/Where were the parents at? And look where it’s at/Middle America, now it’s a tragedy/Now it’s so sad to see, an upper-class city havin’ this happening.” The rocker was a constant scapegoat for the suicide of his depressed teen fans (“Mansonites”) as well as the Columbine, Colorado high school shooting massacre in 1999 that had 15 casualties including the gunmen. When Eminem was the biggest pop star on the planet pissing off parents and right-wingers during the late 90s and early 2000s, Marilyn Manson had a huge target on his back all the same. Eminem Sticks Up For Marilyn Manson After Columbine School Shooting Just imagine Snoop and Manson together on the same track when they were the most polarizing figures in the music industry. However, the song was never materialized. That same year, he announced that his labelmate Snoop Dogg had planned to do a remix of “The Beautiful People” with him.

But when he began his recording career with his band originally called Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids in 1990, his first track wasn’t a metal song.

Long before Marilyn Manson was signed by Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor’s label Nothing Records in 1993, Manson (born Brian Warner) was an Ohio-to-Miami transplant who penned music articles focused on heavy metal for a South Florida publication called 25th Parallel. Marilyn Manson’s First Record Was A Rap Song – Not a Metal One Here is a timeline of Marilyn Manson’s link to Hip Hop from 1990 through today. But if you either didn’t know or simply forgot, Marilyn Manson has had a longstanding connection to Hip Hop long before the mumble rap star made him relevant again. Although Lil Uzi Vert was born in 1994 (the same year that Marilyn Manson released his first album, Portrait Of An American Family), Uzi was reared during the height of the rocker’s fame that decade, so perhaps he grew up with Manson close to his rap inspirations. However, this is not to prove that Marilyn Manson is Hip Hop. Therefore, peculiarity shouldn’t be felt about one of the biggest rap stars today, Lil Uzi Vert, citing glam metal legend Marilyn Manson as one of his main musical influences. That’s what makes it so inviting to anyone with new ideas to keep it effervescent and on the cutting edge. Hip Hop has always been influenced by the brightest spots of pop culture and the darkest crevices of underground counter-counterculture.
