| **BIOGRAPHY** |
Hey Guyz this is my eminem page!! I love him, he is my favorite, and I think most of yew know that *lol* N E ways here is some information on him:
Marshall Bruce Mathers III, October 17 1973, Kansas City, Missouri, USA. This white rapper burst onto the US charts in 1999 . Mathers endured an itinerant childhood, living with his mother in various states (she suffered from munchausen's syndrome by Proxy, a rare psychological condition in which parents harm their children to get sympathy and attention.. They would be moving every 3 months. He never had enough time to make friends and he would get beat up constantly. Once, at age 9, he got beat up so bad that he was in a coma for a week. They eventually ended up in Detroit when marshall was 12.There he met his uncle Ronnie which was about a couple of years older than him. They instanly became best friends. Ronnie introduced him to Rap and Hip-Hop there. He took up rapping in high school before dropping out in ninth grade after flunking 3 times, joining ad hoc groups Basement Productions, the New Jacks, and D-12. 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. He earned almost no money, ended up evicted from his apartment and with nothing going for him. Mathers couldn't even afford to buy his daughter Hailie Jade Scott (which was only a few months old at the time) some diapers. 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 protégé 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 (for $10 Million) 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 Tupac 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 D-12 colleagues to record the transatlantic chart-topping 'Devil's Night', and currently released his third solo album, 'The Eminem Show'.
