It has also been part of the business venture in Shade 45 radio station via [[Sirius Satellite Radio]], and had its own dedicated special edition magazine via ''[[XXL (magazine)|XXL]]'' magazine. Tough times were seen when its record co-founder, Eminem, along with the artists were involved in very public feuds with one-time former affiliate [[Royce da 5'9"]], record label [[The Inc. Records|Murder Inc.]] and ''[[The Source (magazine)|The Source]]'' magazine. The label has also seen positive times when being part of the successful international Anger Management tours and, in 2006, released an album showcasing its then-roster on ''[[Eminem Presents: The Re-Up]]''. It was also the label to be contracted for putting together [[8 Mile (soundtrack)|the soundtrack]] to the Eminem-starring film ''[[8 Mile (film)|8 Mile]]'', which had the lead single "[[Lose Yourself]]". The song went on to take the first ever [[Academy Award for Best Original Song]] given to a song in the hip hop genre. The label's acts over the years have earned [[RIAA certification]]s of platinum or higher on 18 of its 24 released albums (excluding Eminem's solo releases). Signed acts include Eminem himself, [[Yelawolf]], [[Bad Meets Evil]], [[Westside Gunn]], Conway, Hall N' Nash and Boogie, while former acts include [[D12]], [[50 Cent]], [[Obie Trice]], [[Stat Quo]], [[Bobby Creekwater]], [[Cashis]] and [[Slaughterhouse (group)|Slaughterhouse]]. ==History== ===2000–04: Formation, growth and feuds=== [[File:Eminem DJ Hero.jpg|160px|thumb|right|American rapper [[Eminem]] founded Shady Records in 1999.]] After Eminem released ''The Slim Shady LP'', he started his own record label in late 1999.
