The Story Of Eminem

Number one rapper, several song hits, and played at the Super Bowl, give it up for the rap god,  Eminem!

Eminem, aka Marshall Bruce Mathers lll, was born in St. Joseph Missouri on October 17, 1972. Marshall had a tough childhood, having grown up in poverty and abuse. Eminem had three siblings: Nathan, Samra, Sarah, and Michael Mathers. Eminem’s kids are Hailie, Alaina Marie, and Stevie Laine Mathers (she’s a girl). His mother was Debbie Nelson, and his father was Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr.

At 14 he started rapping in clubs in and all over Detroit, Michigan. He dropped out of school in the ninth grade, having been in the grade for three years. It clearly wasn’t working for him, so he set his sights on his dream. Rapping.

He was determined to get into the hip-hop industry. He released small songs, but having never made it to a recording studio, never got on the air.

Despite having been abused and not very famous among people, he did fairly well. Life was tough, but he persevered, overcoming plenty of challenges in his early life.

At 14 he was in an early duo with a high-school friend, then familiarized with a hip-hop club, called the Hip-Hop Shop. He didn’t make friends easily, as having been abused made him wary of some people and got into the wrong crowds. As he got older, he released several hit songs, including The Real Slim Shady and Infinite, along with other hit albums.

            As Eminem got older, he rose through the rankings and became a critically acclaimed rapper. Eminem has released 57 songs, including Kamikaze, The Real Slim Shady, Love The Way You Lie, Stan, Lose Yourself, Rap God, Without Me, And Till I Collapse.

            So, at the old age of 50, Eminem has more acclaimed songs than any rapper dead or alive. I believe Eminem is leaving behind a challenge for any other rapper trying to follow in his footsteps. He has been an inspiration to me and I’m sure plenty others.
