In 1995, he recorded his first official tape, '' Fuckin’ Backstabber/Soul Intent ''. In 1996, he released an independent underground album named '' Infinite ''. Eminem recalls: Mathers followed ''Infinite'' with '' The Slim Shady EP '', which saw his lyrics take a decidedly darker turn, in songs like "No One's Iller" and "Murder Murder", the latter of which he talks about having to commit crimes to feed his daughter. After this album he received much attention and mixed reviews in the Hip-hop underground scene, due to his distinctive style and the fact that he was White in a predominantly Black genre. Mathers had done a notable amount of rapping with fellow Detroit MC Royce Da 5'9" early in his career. They referred to themselves as Bad Meets Evil , with Eminem playing 'The Bad' and Royce playing 'The Evil'.

"Guilty Conscience" also marked the beginning of the powerful friendship and musical bond that Dr. Dre and Eminem would share.

Mathers' third major album, ''The Eminem Show'', was released in summer 2002 and proved to be another hit for the rapper reaching number one on the charts and selling well over 1 million copies in its first week of release. It featured the single " Without Me ", an apparent sequel to "The Real Slim Shady", in which he makes derogatory comments about Boy Band s, Limp Bizkit , Moby , and Lynne Cheney , among others.
