Eminem released the album "The Slim Shady LP" a year later, and traveled to Los Angeles to become the runner-up in the 1997 Rap Olympics MC Battle. Dr. Dre, the legendary rapper and former producer of Eminem's favorite rap group N.W.A, heard Eminem's rap cassette and was so impressed that he signed Eminem to a record deal.

After two years of working with Dre, Eminem released "The Slim Shady LP." It achieved immediate and immense success, selling over three million copies.

Eminem released his second album, "The Marshall Mathers LP," in May 2000. The album showcased his lyrical talents, as well as his emotional and artistic sensibilities. The album's songs varied, selling over 19 million copies worldwide. It won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album and received Album of the Year nomination, becoming one of the most famous rap albums of all time.

However, the album faced a storm of criticism for its excessive profanity, drug glorification, violence, homophobia, and misogyny. Eminem tried to mitigate this criticism by stating that his songs simply used the raw language he was surrounded by since childhood.

Over the following years, Eminem released sporadic songs and struggled greatly with his personal issues. He divorced his wife in 2000, but they maintained a turbulent relationship until remarrying in 2006, only to divorce again a few months later, leading to a long and bitter custody battle over their daughter Hailie. Meanwhile, Eminem sank further into addiction to alcohol, sleeping pills, and painkillers. In December 2007, he overdosed and nearly died.

By early 2008, Eminem managed to overcome his addiction to drugs and alcohol and returned to music. He released his album "Relapse" in 2009, as well as another album, "Recovery," where he recounted his struggles with addiction and rehabilitation. The album won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album.
