Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, 17 October 1973, Kansas City, Missouri, USA. This white rapper burst onto the US charts in 1999 with a controversial take on the horrorcore genre. Mathers endured an itinerant childhood, living with his mother in various states before eventually ending up in Detroit at the age of 12. He took up rapping in high school before dropping out in ninth grade, joining ad hoc groups Basement Productions, the New Jacks, and D12. The newly named Eminem released a raw debut album in 1997 through independent label FBT. Infinite was poorly received, however, with Eminem earning unfavourable comparisons to leading rappers such as Nas and AZ. His determination to succeed was given a boost by a prominent feature in Source's Unsigned Hype column, and he gained revenge on his former critics when he won the Wake Up Show's Freestyle Performer Of The Year award, and finished runner-up in Los Angeles' annual Rap Olympics. The following year's The Slim Shady EP, named after his sinister alter-ego, featured some vitriolic attacks on his detractors. The stand-out track, "Just Don't Give A fuck", became a highly popular underground hit, and led to guest appearances on MC Shabaam Sahddeq's "Five Star Generals" single and Kid Rock's Devil Without A Cause set. As a result, Eminem was signed to Aftermath Records by label boss Dr. Dre, who adopted the young rapper as his protege and acted as co-producer on Eminem's full-length debut. Dre's beats featured prominently on The Slim Shady LP, a provocative feast of violent, twisted lyrics, with a moral outlook partially redeemed by Eminem's claim to be only "voicing" the thoughts of the Slim Shady character. Parody or no parody, lyrics to tracks such as "97 Bonnie & Clyde" (which contained lines about killing the mother of his child) and frequent verbal outbursts about his mother were held by many, outside even the usual Christian moral majority, to be deeply irresponsible. The album was buoyed by the commercial success of the singles "My Name Is" and "Guilty Conscience" (the former helped by a striking, MTV-friendly video), and climbed to number 2 on the US album chart in March 1999.

Eminem subsequently made high profile appearances on Rawkus Records' Soundbombing Volume 2 compilation and Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott's Da Real World. He was also in the news when his mother filed a lawsuit claiming that comments made by the rapper during interviews and on The Slim Shady LP had caused, amongst other things, emotional distress, damage to her reputation and loss of self-esteem. None of which harmed the sales of Eminem's follow-up album, The Marshall Mathers LP, which debuted at number 1 on the US album chart in May 2000 and established him as the most successful rapper since the mid-90s heyday of 2Pac and Snoop Doggy Dogg. By the end of the year, however, his troubled personal life and a serious assault charge had removed the gloss from his phenomenal commercial success. Despite criticism from gay rights groups, the rapper swept up three Grammy Awards the following February. He also reunited with his D12 colleagues to record the transatlantic chart-topping Devil's Night.

Eminem's new studio album, The Eminem Show, was premiered by single "Without Me". The track, which debuted at UK number 1 in May 2002, featured a sample from Malcolm McLaren's "Buffalo Girls" and was supported by a controversial video which saw the rapper dressing up as Osama Bin Laden. The album debuted at number 1 on both sides of the Atlantic. Later in the year, Eminem made his mainstream acting debut in 8 Mile. The lead single from the soundtrack, "Lose Yourself", gave the rapper his first US number 1 single in November.

Garbage | Reviewer: J | 5/19/09

What is the deal with this new album? It's garbage! I waited like 5 years for him to make a good album and this isn't it by far. What the hell is up with him and that stupid accent he uses now? I thought it was just a spoof off of Triumph the Insult Dog, but he seems to like it. Why? He sounds like a gd idiot. There are a few tracks that are worth listening to, but the rest are terrible. What a waste of time. He should just throw in the towel. And that's a shame too, because he WAS one of the best ever and now he sounds like a retard. If you think this album and his made up accent is good, then you are an idiot too. Why didn't Dre or 50 or anybody for that tell him he sounds so stupid?

person below... shut the fuck up. eminem is king. | Reviewer: none | 5/8/09

first of all, your a dumbass. eminem is raw as fuck your just a bitch. how you gunna call eminem stupid when you cant even spell NOW-a-days. you fuckin dumb fuck. dont hate cuz you dont have skill like eminem. just cuz your family probably spoiled the shit outta you, dont mean you gotta hate because his hardships growing up has given him insperation to write music.
you say he belongs in a trailer? well he lives in a fuckin mansion now so shut your hatin ass up. you think he looks like a nerd? i bet you wouldnt tell him that strait up. i bet your a faggot who got ass raped growing up. so get a life and stop hatin because you have no skill. eminem, you are RAW!!!!!!!!!!! i love your music im yo biggest fan!!!!!!!!!!

EM is real | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/22/09

I know alot of people think that Rappin is just a way of becoming famous, but people who think that don't listen to the music i do. The best way to understand his shit is to experience it yourself. I feel alot like Eminem because he been through alot shit that people dont give a fuck about. we all have been through stuff but not the way like he has. I self also have been through alot and i'm making my own career as well. i was 16 when i had my 1st child and that is something you cant run away from even though you feel the world is becoming to much for a moment. the way i get it off my mind is by writing and singing about it, just like eminem.

i give my fullest respect to you,
Respect slim shady!

peace
