This is the best known recent beef that Eminem has had. While the dispute didn't erupt in a significant way until 2003, its roots date back to 2000, when Eminem's critically-acclaimed sophomore album The Marshall Mathers LP only received a 2/5 mic (the equivalent of 2/5 stars) rating from The Source, the leading hip-hop magazine at the time.
Rap star Eminem, because of his battle rap style, created a large number of enemies in the music industry, including Ja Rule, Benzino, Everlast, the Insane Clown Posse, Canibus, and others. Many times, these hip hop rivalries stay on wax and are nothing more than lyrical sparring between artists. Other times, the confrontations have turned violent.
