If Eminem perfected Infinite a bit, it could have been the album that got him noticed. His music would have just taken a completely different route. Imagine no The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP.
You can't say "what if Infinite got noticed." The alternative would be if he didn't release the SSEP and SSLP and stayed on a similar path as Infinite or a completely new path do you think he would've made it? I think not.
