Since the late Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac, conflicts between lyricists have been popping up by the dozens. Although there hasn't been a greater tragedy than B.I.G. and Tupac, the lyrical content has definitely stepped it up a notch and has become more aggressive. Usually the battles will derive from one rapper, and will be quickly responded to, sometimes within a matter of hours. Input by the fans defiantly has a large impact when it comes to deciding who won that battle and walked out with the respect. This shows a side of hip hop that exposes, and leaves the profession vulnerable for harsh criticism. The most exciting part of the industry is when two well known artists decide to go head to head and put their lyrical content to the test.

The newly named Eminem released a raw debut album in 1997 through independent label FBT. Infinite was poorly received, however, with Eminem earning unfavorable comparisons to leading rappers such as Nas and AZ. His determination to succeed was given a boost by a prominent feature in Source's Unsigned Hype column, and he gained revenge on his former critics when he won the Wake Up Show's Freestyle Performer Of The Year award, and finished runner-up in Los Angeles' annual Rap Olympics. The following year's The Slim Shady EP, named after his sinister alter-ego, featured some vitriolic attacks on his detractors. The stand-out track, "Just Don't Give A Fuck", became a highly popular underground hit, and led to guest appearances on MC Shabaam Sahddeq's "Five Star Generals" single and Kid Rock's Devil Without A Cause set. As a result, Eminem was signed to Aftermath Records by label boss Dr. Dre, who adopted the young rapper as his protege, and acted as co-producer on Eminem's full-length debut.
