Eminem rhymes at such a high level that his production work often gets overlooked. While he co-produced the bulk of The Slim Shady LP, he earned his first solo production credit on the second single of his blockbuster, The Marshall Mathers LP, "The Way I Am." He would go on to produce the majority of his next two albums, The Eminem Show and Encore, as well as produce several songs on the 8 Mile and 2Pac Resurrection soundtracks. He's also produced for JAY Z, Nas, 50 Cent and Akon in addition to contributing tracks to his Shady Records protégés.
