Hello, Eminem fans! Today we are going to talk about Eminem Discography, or in other words his discography. I know for people like me, who are serious followers of Eminem, there is no need to remember his recordings and records. Because almost all the details about our superstar Eminem are already printed in our hearts. Therefore, this article is for new and latest fans of Eminem.
Marshall Bruce Mathers III became Eminem after the popularity he achieved through his music albums. He is not just a rapper. But also, a record producer and songwriter as well. Many of you may have noticed his name because of his fast rapping. His perfect wordplay and controversial lyrics gave him a push to be a world-famous rapper. He has released several music videos that make significant records in the music industry. So, today let’s discover the discography or details about all of his music albums in detail.
Eminem Discography Beginning
“Infinity” was the first album of Eminem. He released this in 1996. But this did not record a successful mark in his music journey. Anyway, “Infinity” laid the foundation for his musical journey.
The Slim Shady LP (1999)
This is the music album in which the music life of Eminem had a turning point. The dark mode of Eminem was turned on as Slim Shady. “My Name Is” and “Guilty Conscience” were some of the controversial songs that brought Eminem to the peak of fame. The credit for the success of this music album does not solely belong to Eminem’s lyrics but also to the production of Dr. Dre. After releasing this album, Eminem won the Grammy Award for best rapping.
The Marshall Mathers LP (2000)
Can you guess the fast-selling rap music album in the era of 2000? The Marshall Mathers LP is the answer to that. In my view, this is a more personal and serious creation when compared to other works done by him. “The Real Slim Shady,” “Stan,” “The Way I Am”, and “Stan” are some of the hit songs in this album. In another way, this was an iconic album that shows the fans’ obsession with Eminem. This perfect work won several awards and appreciation and Eminem marked his status as the rap superstar.
The Eminem Show (2002)
Continuing the path of success, Eminem released his 3rd music album “The Eminem Show” in 2002. This album contains a mixture of versatile songs. “Without Me,” “Cleaning Out My Closet,’ ‘ and “Sing for the Moment” are some of the songs that reached the highest popularity. This is not just a collection of contents and music; it is something beyond music. Do you know this album is based on the life struggles, the relationship and the fame of Eminem. This album was also awarded a Grammy Award as the best rap album for the second time, making another footprint for Eminem’s success.
Encore (2004)
After 2 years of silence, Eminem released his fourth music album “Encore” in 2004. This album is a perfect example to show that Eminem is not restricted to a frame and he is trying different styles. “Just Lose It” and “Mockingbird” are some of the single hits of Encore. This album received mixed reviews. While some fans appreciated the changes that Eminem has made, some people criticized his attempt. Regardless of different reviews millions of Encore copies were sold all over the world.
Relapse (2009)
After a long break, Eminem the superstar appeared with another unforgettable creation. Relapse is the first music album he made after recovering from drug addiction. With songs like “We Made You” and “Beautiful” Eminem talks about the struggles he had in his life. This album also received mixed comments with good and bad reviews. But, on my point, this is another example to identify Eminem as a perfect lyrics’ writer. And this again reminds us not to consider Eminem just as a rap singer. Relapse won the Grammy Award as well.
Recovery (2010)
This is the album where Eminem strongly expresses his recovery from drug addiction. He did a great social service to the world beyond his career as a rap singer. “Not Afraid” and “Love the Way You Lie” are some of the creations that topped all over the world. Recovery received millions of positive reviews and won multiple awards including a grammy award.
The Marshall Mathers LP 2 (2013)
The Marshall Mathers LP 2 was released in 2013 which is similar to The Marshall Mathers LP that was released in 2002. This album is a mixture of nostalgia and modern patterns. “Rap God,” “Berzerk,” and “The Monster” are perfect examples to describe the unique style he has used. Can you guys remember Rap God??
You must remember this if you are a true fan of Eminem! Me and all serious fans of Eminem are witness for his superior rapping speed in Rap God. He is a rap God indeed! The Marshall Mathers LP 2 also received the grammy award as the best rap album of the year.
Revival (2017)
Though many people criticized “Revival” for lacking the impact of Eminem’s early efforts, it became so much popular among his fans. Revival was released in 2017 with a collaboration of famous artists like Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, and Alicia Keys. “Walk on Water” and “River” are some of the songs that became world famous and based on self-doubt and personal reflection.
Kamikaze (2018)
Kamikaze is just like a little warning for the people who criticized “Revival”. In 2018, just after a year of releasing Revival, Kamikaze was released. This album was created in an aggressive style as a direct response to the criticisms. “The Ringer” and “Lucky You” are some tracks which point the fingers directly for relevant parties. Bytheway, Kamikaze was awarded for the raw emotions and energy in tracks.
Music to Be Murdered By (2020)
You may have listened to “Godzilla” and “Darkness’ ‘ like tracks released in 2020 with the 11th album of Eminem. And I know that you don’t need any more descriptions for the lyric power of Eminem. And also, this album was produced with the collaboration of artists like Juice WRLD, Ed Sheeran, and Anderson.
The Death of The Slim Shady (2024)
After remaining silent for 4 years, Eminem is about to release his 12th music album, The Death of The Slim Shady. At the moment, we just can watch the trailer of the album and this will definitely create controversial talks and discussions. This album is about to be released this summer!
After a lengthy description about the discography of Eminem, this chapter is about to end. And I hope that this will be a good resource for old and new fans of Eminem to update their details about Eminem’s music journey.
