The Eminem Show is the fourth studio album by American rapper Eminem, released on May 26, 2002, through Aftermath Entertainment, Shady Records and Interscope Records.<ref name="mtv.com"/> Eminem produced most of the album himself, with additional production by Dr. Dre, Jeff Bass, and Mr. Porter. Guest appearances include Obie Trice, D12, Dr. Dre, Nate Dogg, Dina Rae and Eminem's daughter, Hailie Jade.

The album incorporates a heavier use of rap rock than Eminem's previous albums, and its themes are predominantly based on Eminem's prominence in hip-hop culture, as well as his ambivalent thoughts of fame. The album also features political commentary on the United States, including references to 9/11, Osama bin Laden, the war on terror, President George W. Bush, Lynne Cheney and Tipper Gore. Due to its less satirical and shock factor lyrical approach, The Eminem Show was regarded as Eminem's most personal album at the time and a step back from the Slim Shady alter ego.

Widely considered the most anticipated album of 2002, The Eminem Show debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and stood there for six non-consecutive weeks. It sold over 1.3 million copies in its second week in the US, where it registered a full week of sales. It also topped the UK Albums Chart for five consecutive weeks. It produced four commercially successful singles, "Without Me", "Cleanin' Out My Closet", "Superman", and "Sing for the Moment", and it features one of his most popular songs, "'Till I Collapse". The album was met with widespread acclaim, with praise directed at Eminem's mature, introspective lyricism and the album's experimental production.

The Eminem Show was both the best-selling album of 2002 in the United States and the best-selling album worldwide of 2002, along with being the best-selling hip-hop album in music history, and Eminem's most commercially successful album to date. The album was certified 12× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and its worldwide sales of 27 million copies make it one of the best-selling albums of all time and the second best-selling album of the 21st century. At the 2003 Grammy Awards, it was nominated for Album of the Year and won Best Rap Album, while "Without Me" won Best Music Video. Blender, Muzik and LAUNCH named it the best album of 2002, and several publications named it among the best albums of the decade.<ref name="RIAA"/>

BackgroundEdit

Speaking to Spin, Eminem said, "Eventually, I might need some drama in my life to inspire me [...] With The Marshall Mathers LP, everything that everybody was saying–I took that, and it was my ammo. And then when shit died down a little bit, I had other turmoil in my personal life, so that was what I was able to dump out on The Eminem Show. Now, I just gotta wait for the next phase of my life. But something always seems to happen, man; something's always gotta be fucking turbulent."<ref name=":5">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Eminem cited that the inspiration for the album was taken from the Peter Weir-directed 1998 science fiction comedy-drama film The Truman Show. Jim Carrey starred in the film as the lead character Truman Burbank, a man who unwittingly lives inside a TV show, where his life is broadcast to viewers around the world. Eminem spoke on the film's influence, saying, "My life felt like it was becoming a circus around that time, and I felt like I was always being watched [...] Basically, Jim Carrey wrote my album."<ref name=":5" />

RecordingEdit

Speaking with Rolling Stone in 2002, Eminem said Template:" 'Sing for the Moment' was the first song I wrote for the album; 'Cleanin Out My Closet' was the second. I had the line in 'Cleanin Out My Closet' — 'I'd like to welcome y'all out to The Eminem ShowTemplate:Nobold—and it was just a line, but I sat back and I was like, 'My life is really like a fucking show'. I have songs on the album that I wrote when I was in that shit last year, with a possible jail sentence hangin' over my head and all the emotions going through the divorce. I went through a lot of shit last year [lawsuits, divorce and the threat of jail time] that I resolved at the same time, all in the same year. And, yeah, that's when half of the album was wrote".<ref name=":4">Template:Cite magazine</ref>

Eminem had started recording the album around the same time he was filming 8 Mile. Production was used for both the soundtrack of the film and his album. The album also saw Eminem take a substantially more predominant production role; most of it was self-produced, with his longtime collaborator Jeff Bass co-producing several tracks (mainly the songs which eventually became the released singles). Dr. Dre, in addition to being the album's executive producer, produced only three individual tracks: "Business", "Say What You Say", and "My Dad's Gone Crazy". Regarding his increase in producing, Eminem told Rolling Stone, "I actually know how to program a drum machine now. It used to be so simple—just writing lyrics and raps, laying vocals and leaving the studio was great. But now that I'm so into producing, it's a fucking job."<ref name=":4" />

SinglesEdit

"Without Me" was released as the album's lead single on May 14, 2002.<ref name="a-c.com E-WM"/>

"Cleanin' Out My Closet" was released as the album's second single on July 29 of that same year.<ref name="2002 hits wrh.com"/> Releasing singles from this album went on a hiatus when "Lose Yourself" (one of the singles from 2002 soundtrack, 8 Mile: Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture) was released on October 28.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Releasing singles from this album resumed when "Superman" (which features Dina Rae) was released as the third single on January 21, 2003.<ref name="Issue 1487">Template:Cite magazine</ref>

"Sing for the Moment" was released as the fourth single on February 25 of that same year.<ref name="EivfSftM"/>

"Business" was released as the fifth and final single on July 22, though it was unreleased in the United States.

Music and lyricsEdit

Stylistically, The Eminem Show has a lighter tone than The Marshall Mathers LP<ref name=":7">Template:Cite bookTemplate:Dead link</ref> and incorporates a heavier use of rap rock than Eminem's previous albums,<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> featuring mixed guitar-driven melodies with hip-hop rhythms. In an interview with British magazine The Face in April 2002, Eminem said that he treated the album like it was a rock record. He continued that he "tried to get the best of both worlds" on the album.<ref name=":1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Eminem spoke on specific rock influences, saying, "I listened to a lot of '70s rock growing up, when I was real little. When I go back and listen to them songs, like Led Zeppelin or Aerosmith, Jimi Hendrix...'70s rock had this incredible feel to it."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Notably, "Sing For The Moment" contains a sample of Aerosmith's "Dream On" as well as a reinterpretation of its guitar solo. Another rock sample on the album is the kick-clap beat of "'Till I Collapse", which is an interpolation of the intro from Queen's "We Will Rock You".<ref name=":62">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The themes of The Eminem Show are predominantly based on Eminem's prominence in hip-hop culture and the subsequent envy towards him, as well as his thoughts on his unexpected enormous success and its consequential negative effects on his life.<ref name=":7" /> The album also touches on Eminem's thoughts on themes surrounding American politics, including references to 9/11,<ref name=":42">Template:Cite book</ref> Osama bin Laden,<ref name=":42" /> the war on terror<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> President George W. Bush,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Lynne Cheney<ref name=":10">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and Tipper Gore.<ref name=":10" /> Speaking on his use of political commentary on the album, Eminem told Rolling Stone, "You put your shit out there for the world to see and to judge, and whoever agrees with you agrees with you. Even my most die-hard fans don't agree with everything I say. These are my views, this is how I see it. You may have your own opinion, but you may not get to project it to the world like I do."<ref name=":4" /> Writing for Spin, rock critic Alan Light said that the album may have proved that Eminem is the most "dexterous, vivid writer in pop music".<ref name=":8">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The album also sees Eminem dissing several artists, including Mariah Carey, Moby, Canibus and Limp Bizkit, while Dr. Dre disses Jermaine Dupri on the song "Say What You Say", and so does Timbaland at the very end of the song.<ref name=":10" />

Lyrically, the album displays a dramatic shift from the misogynistic and homophobic lyrics presented on The Marshall Mathers LP.<ref name=":32">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Eminem told Spin, "One of the frustrating things was people saying, 'He's got to cuss to sell records,' [...] That's why with this album, I toned it down a bit as far as shock value. I wanted to show that I'm a solid artist, and I'm here to stay."<ref name=":5"/> Due to its less satirical and shock factor lyrical approach, The Eminem Show was regarded as a departure from Eminem's previous albums<ref name=":7" /> with it being more personal and reflective and a step back of the Slim Shady alter ego.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Eminem said during an interview with MTV that he felt that The Eminem Show was his "best record so far".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 2006, Q said that Eminem's first two albums "aired dirty laundry, then the world's most celebrated rapper [Eminem] examined life in the hall of mirrors he'd built for himself."<ref name=":7" />

With the release of The Eminem Show, Eminem was considered to be more socially acceptable: there were no protests over his lyrics, boycotts, and talk shows discussing his impact on America's youth. A columnist of The New York Observer wrote that Eminem had become a "guilty pleasure" for baby boomers, describing him as "the most compelling figure to have emerged from popular music since the holy trinity of [Bob] Dylan, [John] Lennon, and [Mick] Jagger."<ref name=":8" />

Censored versionEdit

The "clean version" of The Eminem Show censors many more profanities and derogatory words than in clean versions of Eminem's previous albums, in which the words "goddamn", "prick", "bastard", "piss", "bitch", "ass", and "shit" were allowed. This album allowed no profanities, and the profanities were either muted, obscured by sound effects, or back-masked. In addition to this, entire sentences were sometimes removed from the censored version for being very sexually charged. The entire song "Drips" was removed in early clean versions and is heard only as four seconds of silence moving on to the next track, "Without Me". Later on, digital releases of the clean version removed "Drips" completely, moving the next 11 songs up on the tracklist. Some copies of the clean version, however, feature an edited version of "Drips".<ref name=":9">Template:Cite bookTemplate:Dead link</ref>

There are some inconsistencies in the clean version's censorship. In the skit "The Kiss", Eminem's shouting of the word "motherfucker!" is still audible in the censored version. In the track, "Soldier", which is a continuation of "The Kiss", the word "bitch" was used three times, and can be clearly heard once. Also, in "White America", the word "flag" is back masked when he raps, "To burn the flag and replace it with a parental advisory sticker".<ref name=":9" />

Critical receptionEdit

Template:Music ratings

The Eminem Show was met with widespread critical acclaim.<ref name="metacritic" /> At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 75, based on 20 reviews.<ref>Template:Citation</ref>

Alex Needham of NME hailed The Eminem Show as a "fantastic third album" that "is bigger, bolder and far more consistent than its predecessors".<ref name="NME" /> David Browne of Entertainment Weekly felt the album's more personal lyrics "succeed in fleshing out Eminem's complexities and contradictions", nonetheless concluding that "[l]ike its predecessors, though, The Eminem Show is a testament to the skills of its star. The sludgy rapping of such guests as D12 only confirms Eminem's dizzying prowess, gob-spewing individuality, and wickedly prankish humor."<ref name="EW" /> Writing for Rolling Stone, Kris Ex argued that Eminem "may have made the best rap-rock album in history".<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>

Slant MagazineTemplate:'s Sal Cinquemani wrote that he "peels back some of the bullshit façade and reveals a little bit of the real Marshall Mathers" on an album that "displays a—dare I say it?—more 'mature' Eminem."<ref name="Slant">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In his review for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine said the album "proves Eminem is the gold standard in pop music in 2002, delivering stylish, catchy, dense, funny, political music that rarely panders".<ref name="AM" /> Critic Robert Christgau wrote: "I think it represents an articulate, coherent, formally appropriate response to Eminem's changing position and role, one that acknowledges the privileges and alienations that accrue to all fame as well as the resolution of Marshall Mathers's worst traumas and the specifics of his success."<ref name="Christgau" />

Edna Gundersen of USA Today wrote that Eminem is "as good as he gets but in the end inflicts more damage on himself, hoisting The Eminem Show to a level of self-absorption rivaled only by Woody Allen", and despite the presence of some mediocre tracks, he "displays an admirable dexterity in blending invective and invention, even though his approach is more reactionary than revolutionary."<ref name="USAToday" /> Uncut wrote, "Behind the hype and the swagger, he's still baring enough of his soul for The Eminem Show to be compelling theatre."<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref> Q was more mixed in its assessment, stating that as "Eminem outgrows his old alter-id, so the obligatory pantomime villainy, skits and crass cameos by Shady Records signings become a hindrance."<ref name="Q">Template:Cite journal</ref> Marc L. Hill of PopMatters felt that the album lacked the shock factor of his previous albums and described it as "a disappointing combination of promising musical experimentation and uninspired lyrics."<ref name=":3">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Blender named The Eminem Show the best album of 2002.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> The album became Eminem's third to win the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, while "Without Me" won Eminem his first Best Music Video award.<ref name=":2">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The album swept the MTV Music Video Awards, winning four awards for Best Male Video, Video of the Year, Best Direction, and Best Rap Video.

Legacy and reappraisalEdit

The Eminem Show received critical praise by most music critics and is often debated as Eminem's most personal and best work. The album cemented Eminem's "three-peat" of classic hip-hop albums, following the critical appraisal of The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 2003, the album was ranked number 317 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and was later ranked at number 84 on the same magazine's Best Albums of the 2000s Decade.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 2007, it was ranked number 63 by The National Association of Recording Merchandisers, in conjunction with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in their list of the Definite 200 Albums of All Time.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 2012, Complex magazine deemed it a "classic" album that "cemented Eminem's place as one of the most important figures in rap history",<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and has included it on their list of 100 Best Albums of the Complex Decade, placing it at number 5.<ref name="complex.com">Template:Cite journal</ref> Following the 15th anniversary of the album, the Grammy Awards also described The Eminem Show as a "classic album".<ref name=":6">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Popdose ranked the album at 79 on its Best Albums of the Decade list.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 2015, The Eminem Show was ranked number 56 on the Greatest of All Time Billboard 200 Albums.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>

Commercial performanceEdit

The Eminem Show was originally scheduled for release on June 4, 2002; however, pirated and bootlegged copies appeared online via peer-to-peer networks and began surfacing on the streets. It was provided by Rabid Neurosis (RNS), an MP3 warez release organisation who pirated the album twenty-five days prior to release.<ref name="rns">Template:Cite magazine</ref> Radio show Opie and Anthony broadcast the entire album on May 17, 2002.<ref name="Opie and Anthony">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}Template:Cbignore</ref> Interscope decided to release the album earlier than planned, on May 28 to prevent bootlegging. However, many stores in the United States began selling it even earlier than the new release date on Sunday, May 26, and some put the album out as early as Friday.<ref name="BB-'Show' Assured">Template:Cite magazine</ref> Promotional posters in stores read, "America Couldn't Wait". Due to the premature release by many retailers on a Sunday, the album had only one day of official sales for the chart week and was unavailable in Walmart stores during that period.<ref name="BB-'Show' Assured"/><ref name="rollingstone.com">Template:Cite magazine</ref> The Eminem Show was Eminem's first album to include lyrics to all its songs inside the CD booklet.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Additionally, the first 2,000,000 copies of the album shipped in the United States included a bonus DVD with an exclusive interview and live footage.<ref name="rollingstone.com"/> A week before the album's release, it was the second-most played CD on computers, the highest ranking ever for an unreleased title. It was considered the most anticipated album of 2002.<ref name="Wild Debut for 'Eminem Show'">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Despite the confusion over the exact release date, the album still managed to have a very successful debut on the charts. The Eminem Show debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling approximately 284,000 copies in its first day,<ref name="BB-'Show' Assured" /> marking the first time an album had topped the chart from only a day's sale.<ref name=":6" /> It sold 1,322,000 copies in the following week, its first full week of sales,<ref name="BB-Shows Whos Boss">Template:Cite magazine</ref><ref name="BB-Albums sold 1m">Template:Cite magazine</ref> then sold 809,000 copies in its third week and 529,562 copies in its fourth week to bring its four-week sales total to just under 3 million copies.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The album sold 381,000 copies in its fifth week and topped the Billboard 200 for a fifth and final consecutive week.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> On March 7, 2011, the album was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipping 10 million copies,<ref name="RIAA"/> making it Eminem's second album to receive a Diamond certification in the United States. It has also achieved Diamond certification in Canada<ref name="MusicCanada"/> and 18× Platinum in Australia.<ref name="ARIA"/>

The Eminem Show has sold 27 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time and Eminem's best-selling album.<ref name=":0">Template:Cite book</ref> It reached number one in 18 other countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK. The album also spent five consecutive weeks at the top of the UK Albums Chart.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>

Expanded editionEdit

On May 24, 2022, Eminem announced the release of the expanded edition of the album on his social media to celebrate its 20th anniversary.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> On May 26, 2022, Eminem released the new expanded edition, which contains instrumentals of selected tracks, freestyles and live versions of songs from previous albums performed with his longtime friend and collaborator Proof at Tramps, New York and Fuji Rock Festival, Japan. It also features four new tracks which were recorded during the initial recording sessions but not included in the original version of the album; "Stimulate", which was kept off the album due to time constraints and instead appeared on the bonus disc of the 8 Mile soundtrack album, "Bump Heads" and "The Conspiracy Freestyle" (which had appeared on other Shady Records releases), and an unreleased song, "Jimmy, Brian and Mike", which had a verse and chorus re-recorded by Eminem especially for the expanded edition. Physical versions of the expanded edition were released later in the year, including a 4xLP vinyl set, CD, and cassette.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Along with Curtain Call 2, it was nominated for an Outstanding Anthology/Compilation/Reissue at the 2023 Detroit Music Awards.
