This. He wrote the album with a huge audience in mind because he knew the album was going to have a huge audience.

He always kind of exaggerated his level of popularity, even back on songs like My Name Is, which he wrote when he was only popular in the underground. "You know you blew up when the women rush your stands/And try to touch your hands like some screaming Usher fans." You can just tell that when he was writing that song he was thinking, "I got signed by Dre. This song is catchy. I'm brilliant. Yeah, this'll blow up."

If you market yourself as larger than life, people are going to eventually start believing it. And by the time 2001/2002 rolled around, Eminem was no longer exaggerating because he was indeed huge.

I mean, I think his constant jabs at people who got offended for his use of the word faggot should have come after MMLP. It's like he wrote Criminal foreshadowing the reactions of the public to the previous songs in the album

He wasn't really taking jabs at people for his use of the word "faggot" because up until the MMLP era he had barely even used the word. He didn't use it once on SSLP, and he only had one homosexual reference on SSLP. And yet he was still accused of homophobia.

He was only using the word "faggot" all the time because he knew by introducing that word into the mix, the Timothy Whites of the world who called SSLP homophobic would get even angrier.

Nah it was perfect
I've made beats for Jay-Z for free
Page me, you need a beat, you Canibus?
Then it's Dre's fee, if you Kay Slay, the fees waved
I stay beefing with JD, 'til the day Dre 2-ways me

True i imagine it was fair weird eminem writting letters to himself :P
Lose yourself in this music, this moment we own it
We won't never let it go (go), you better move yourself
Because tomorrow's ass can wait
There is no time, to sit there and procrastinate
