But his second-place finish at the 1997 Rap Olympics led to Dr. Dre discovering his <em data-start=\"613\" data-end=\"628\">Slim Shady EP<\/em>, launching a legendary partnership.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"666\" data-end=\"693\">Missteps and Backlash<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"694\" data-end=\"905\">While early 2000s albums brought fame, <em data-start=\"733\" data-end=\"741\">Encore<\/em> (2004) and <em data-start=\"753\" data-end=\"762\">Relapse<\/em> (2009) faced backlash for lacking depth and artistic direction. <em data-start=\"827\" data-end=\"836\">Revival<\/em> (2017) was especially criticized, marking a low point in his career.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"907\" data-end=\"929\">Personal Turmoil<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"930\" data-end=\"1193\">Eminem\u2019s life offstage was just as chaotic \u2014 a troubled childhood, a toxic relationship with ex-wife Kim Scott, and the devastating loss of his best friend Proof in 2006. His addiction to prescription drugs nearly killed him in 2007, leading to years of recovery.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1195\" data-end=\"1227\">Redemption and Reinvention<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1228\" data-end=\"1403\">With <em data-start=\"1233\" data-end=\"1243\">Recovery<\/em> (2010), Eminem confronted his demons and returned stronger.
