    Would he have put out a better 4th album? Would D12 put out another album earlier and actually had at least a 3rd album? And there is more examples I could put you get da idea, discuss homies

    I think it would have been different but better Is hard to say. Another d12 album probably but then again wasn't proof trying to do his own thing during that time as a solo artist? Idk I could be wrong

    I don't know if I'm hbappy that we had 50 instead of Rakim on those beats. Rakim wouldn't have given us songs like In Da Club or P.I.M.P. but still he would have made a classic with those beats. Would love to hear that album...

    On the other hand, Eminem wouldn't be different too much maybe we could have gotten D12 album earlier but I don't think doing work for his artists slows him down much in his own solo thing. he always liked to take his time with his solos and actually even though he seems like he is not active he was back then.

    99 - The Slim Shady LP
    00 - The Marshall Mathers LP
    01 - Devil's Night ( Highly contributed )
    02 - The Eminem Show & 8 Mile Soundtrack
    03 - The year he has released more songs and features without an album than any previous years.
    04 - Encore & D12 World ( highly contributed )

    Btw as for 50, he wouldn't have been half as big he ever was if he never signed with Shady & Aftermath. He was at the right place at the right time.

    Shady Records wouldn't have been anywhere near as successful without 50. 50 was the only true star that Em ever signed. However I guarantee his other artists would've gotten more attention. We would've definitely gotten a third D12 album, Obie's second album would've been much better, and maybe even another Em solo album in 2003 or 05, or both.

    Yea the Shady Records-Murder Inc beef would've never happened. Would've been a shame actually because that beef created alot of great music.
