2001 - Eminem - Marshall Mathers LP

Grammy Awards Best Rap Album Winners

By , About.com Guide

An undeniable masterpiece, The Marshall Mathers LP reinforced Eminem's status as a rapper to watch in the new millenium. The Grammys took notice. The album also enjoyed a generous showing on the chart, shooting to the top of Billboard 200 and sending three singles ("The Real Slim Shady," "The Way I Am," and "Stan") to the Hot 100 chart.

Eminem received a standing ovation after a scinitllation rendition of "Stan" with Elton John. However, his performance with the openly gay crooner was criticized by gay rights groups protesting Eminem's homophobic lyrics.
