Detroit disc jockeys largely ignored ''Infinite'' and the feedback Eminem did receive ("Why don't you go into rock and roll?") led him to craft angrier, moodier tracks.

Eminem cooked and washed dishes for minimum wage at Gilbert's Lodge, a family-style restaurant in
St. Clair Shores.
His former boss described him as becoming a model employee, as he worked 60 hours a week for six months after the birth of his daughter, Hailie Jade Scott Mathers.
He was fired shortly before Christmas and later said, "It was, like, five days before Christmas, which is Hailie's birthday. I had, like, forty dollars to get her something."
After the release of ''Infinite'', his personal problems and substance abuse culminated in a suicide attempt.

The album's popularity was accompanied by controversy over its lyrics; in "
'97 Bonnie & Clyde", Eminem describes a trip with his infant daughter when he disposes of his wife's body and in "
Guilty Conscience", he encourages a man to murder his wife and her lover. "Guilty Conscience" marked the beginning of a friendship and musical bond between Dr. Dre and Eminem. The label-mates later collaborated on a number of hit songs and Dre made at least one guest appearance on each of Eminem's
Aftermath albums.
''The Slim Shady LP'' has been certified quadruple platinum by the RIAA.
1999–2003: ''The Marshall Mathers LP'' and ''The Eminem Show''

After Eminem released ''The Slim Shady LP'', he started his own record label,
Shady Records, in late 1999. Eminem looked for an avenue to release
D12, and his manager
Paul Rosenberg was keen to start a label, which led to the two teaming up to form Shady.

Eminem is considered unusual in structuring his songs around the lyrics, rather than writing to beats.
One exception was "Stan", which came from an idea and
scratch track produced by
the 45 King.
After doing little production on ''Relapse'' and ''Recovery'', Eminem produced a significant portion of ''The Marshall Mathers LP 2''. He said about producing his own music, "Sometimes, I may get something in my head, like an idea or the mood of something that I would want, and I'm not always gonna get that by going through different tracks that other people have made. They don't know what's in my head. I think maybe it helps, a little bit, with diversity, the sound of it, but also, I would get something in my head and want to be able to lay down that idea from scratch."

Necro (who had previously produced three songs for Cage) met Eminem and gave him a CD with the beat to what eventually became the beat for the song "Black Helicopters" by rap group
