The song "Steve Berman (Skit)" by Eminem is an interlude track from his album "The Marshall Mathers LP." It features a fictional conversation between Eminem (playing himself) and his manager, Steve Berman. The skit is a humorous depiction of the strained relationship between the two and satirizes the music industry. In the skit, Eminem visits Steve Berman to discuss his comeback after a four-year hiatus. Steve is initially angry at Eminem for shooting him in the past, causing him to lose the use of his right arm. He also expresses frustration over Eminem hiding out in Detroit while the music industry suffered. Eminem tries to apologize and explain his intentions, but Steve is dismissive and assumes that Eminem's new music will be another self-pitying album. Eminem then reveals that he has two CDs and wants Steve's opinion on them. However, Steve is fed up with Eminem's behavior and demands him to leave the music on his desk and get out. Despite their tense exchange, the skit ends with Eminem calmly leaving and Steve venting his frustration by smashing a bottle. The skit serves as a commentary on the expectations and pressures faced by celebrities, as well as the volatile nature of the music industry. It also showcases Eminem's self-awareness and ability to mock himself through humor.
