The Underground EP (1996) Devil's Night (2001) D12 World (2004)

Devil's Night is Detroit hip hop group D12's debut album, released on June 19, 2001 and executive produced by Eminem. The album's title comes from the Devil's Night tradition, recognized in and around Detroit. The album produced two singles: "Purple Pills" and "Fight Music", and is credited as one of the most offensive rap albums in history.^{[citation needed]} Likely owing to the presence of superstar rapper Eminem in the group, the album sold well, reaching double platinum status. The album featured a hidden track by Eminem called "Girls", which is a diss track aimed at Limp Bizkit, DJ Lethal, Dilated Peoples and Everlast. It has also been speculated that American Psycho was targeted at Psychopathic Records given Eminem had a notorious beef with Insane Clown Posse around that time, which was followed by a long-standing beef between the rest of D12, chiefly Proof, and Esham. The use of phrases including "psychopath killa," "blood spilla," and other phrases/references made it appear to many as a diss, rip-off, or dig directed at the Psychopathic camp. It was followed by the band's second album D12 World in 2004. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
