The Marshall Mathers LP is the third studio album by American rapper Eminem, released on May 23, 2000, by Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. Production on the album was handled by Dr. Dre, Mel-Man, F.B.T., Eminem, and The 45 King. The album spawned three hit singles: `The Real Slim Shady`, `The Way I Am` and `Stan`, and features guest appearances from Dido, RBX, Sticky Fingaz, Dina Rae, Bizarre, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, Nate Dogg, Paul Rosenberg and D12.

Recorded over a 10-month period in several studios around Detroit, the album features introspective lyricism reflecting Eminem`s thoughts on his rise to fame, criticism of his music, and estrangement from his family. As a transgressive work, it incorporates hardcore hip-hop, satirical hip-hop, and horrorcore. Like its predecessor, The Marshall Mathers LP was surrounded by significant controversy upon its release, while also propelling Eminem to the forefront of American pop culture. Criticism centered on lyrics that were considered violent, homophobic, and misogynistic, as well as references to the Columbine High School massacre in the songs `The Way I Am` and `I`m Back`. Future second lady Lynne Cheney criticized the lyrics at a United States Senate hearing, as misogynistic and violent against women, while the Canadian government considered refusing Eminem`s entry into the country. Despite the controversies, it received widespread acclaim from critics, who praised Eminem`s lyrical ability and considered the album to have emotional depth.

The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, staying atop for eight consecutive weeks. A significant commercial success compared to the release of The Slim Shady LP just the previous year, the album sold 1.78 million copies in its first week, which made it among the fastest-selling studio albums in the United States. The album produced the singles `The Real Slim Shady`, `The Way I Am`, and `Stan`. Among other publications, Rolling Stone named it the best album of the year 2000.

The Marshall Mathers LP has been included in numerous all-time lists and is widely regarded as Eminem`s greatest album. It has sold 25 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time, and is certified 12× platinum and Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It was nominated for Album of the Year and won Best Rap Album at the 2001 Grammy Awards, while `The Real Slim Shady` won Best Rap Solo Performance. The Marshall Mathers LP 2, the album`s sequel, was released in 2013.

Background
Inspired by the disappointment and failure of his debut album, Infinite (1996), Eminem created the alter ego Slim Shady, whom he introduced on the Slim Shady EP (1997). After placing second in the annual Rap Olympics, Eminem was noticed by the staff at Interscope Records and eventually CEO Jimmy Iovine, who played the Slim Shady EP for hip-hop producer Dr. Dre. Eminem and Dr. Dre then met and recorded The Slim Shady LP (1999), which was noted for its over-the-top lyrical depictions of drugs and violence.[2] The Slim Shady LP was a critical and commercial success, debuting at number two on the Billboard 200 chart and selling 283,000 copies in its first week.[3] At the 42nd Grammy Awards in 2000, the record won Best Rap Album, while the album`s lead single `My Name Is` won Best Rap Solo Performance.[4]

The Slim Shady LP turned Eminem from an underground rapper into a high-profile celebrity. The rapper, who had previously struggled to provide for his daughter Hailie, noted a drastic change in his lifestyle.[5] In June 1999, he married his girlfriend Kimberly Ann `Kim` Scott, the mother of Hailie, despite the fact that the song "97 Bonnie & Clyde` from The Slim Shady LP contains references to killing her.[6] The rapper became uncomfortable with the level of fame he had achieved, and said, `I don`t trust nobody now because everybody I meet is meeting me as Eminem...I don`t know if they are hanging with me `cause they like me or because I`m a celebrity or because they think they can get something from me.`[5] Eminem also became a highly controversial figure due to his lyrical content. He was labeled as `misogynist, a nihilist and an advocate of domestic violence`, and in an editorial, Billboard editor in chief Timothy White accused Eminem of `making money by exploiting the world`s misery`.[2]

Eminem considered naming the album Amsterdam after a trip to the city shortly after the release of The Slim Shady LP, in which he and his friends engaged in heavy drug use.[7] The `free` use of drugs Eminem observed during his time in Amsterdam greatly influenced his desire to openly discuss drug use in his music and inspired some of the content on the album.[7][8]
