    Eminem's Career In 2013 Vs. Eminem's Career In 2000

    Facebook share Twitter share

    2013 saw Eminem make his big comeback with 'The Marshall Mathers LP 2', the follow-on of sorts to his seminal 2000 album of the same name. Rather than just recap the rapper's year in 2013, we thought we'd put him up against his 2000 self.

    13. Eminem

      13. 2000: The Marshall Mathers LP was recorded in a two-month-long 'creative binge'.

      14. 2013: The making of LP two happened over a much longer time period.

      Rap God, for instance, had been in the making for two years prior to its release. Em said inspiration for his other tracks came from the '2000 period'.

    15. Eminem

      15. 2000: All Eminem's songs featured heavy autobiographical lyrics.

      He often referenced his rise to fame, and touched on personal relationships such as with his mum and his on/off relationship with Kim.

    16. Eminem - 'Rap God'

      16. 2013: Although not as intense, Shady's lyrical style has remained quite consistent.

      In particular, the video for 'The Monster' heavily focuses on Eminem's life as it shows clips of his most well known past videos.

    17. Eminem and Dido

      17. 2000: The original album had possibly his most iconic collaboration, with Dido on 'Stan'.

      Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg, Xzbit, Nate Dogg and more also featured on his hit album that year.

    18. Eminem And Rihanna

      18. 2013: This year Eminem hooked up with Rihanna to create 'The Monster'.

      His album featured less collaborations, but Skylar Grey, Kendrick Lamar and Nate Ruess made appearances.

    19. eminem

      19. 2000: The album was well recieved, scoring an average of 78/100 from music critics.

    20. Eminem images

      20. 2013: 'MMLP2' averaged at 73/100 - not as good as his first album, but still impressive.

    21. Eminem

      21. 2000: Eminem came under fire for controversial lyrics used in many of his songs.

      22. 2013: Unsurprisingly, Eminem is still getting people talking today with some of his lyrics.

      Most notably he was criticised for some homophobic lyrics in 'Rap God,' although he insists they are 'tongue-in-cheek'. Picture: Getty
