of the year for The Marshall Mathers LP.
He was also nominated for best
Rap album, Best Rap solo performance and Best Rap performance
by a duo or group for his work on Dr. Dre 2001, on the song "Forget
About Dre."
Competing with Eminem for album
of the year are Beck for Midnite Vultures Radiohead for
Kid A, Paul Simon for You’re The One and Steely
Dan for Two Against Nature.
