Detroit's Phenom

Marshall Bruce Mathers III, or better know as Eminem or Slim Shady, was the greatest rapper to come out of Detroit. He is also a record producer, and an actor. He starred in the Film, 8 Mile, directed by Curtis Hanson. He works with labels such as Bassmint Productions, Mashin' Duck Records, Web Entertainment, Interscope Records, Shady Records, and Aftermath Entertainment. He has also worked with other famous rappers such as his rap group that he started with Deshaun Dupree Holton, better known as Proof, called D12, Bad Meets Evil, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Obie Trice, and Akon. He has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide, has had 7 albums, and he is also ranked on the list of 100 greatest artists of all time in Rolling Stone Magazine. Vibe Magazine said he was the best rapper ever. His career was booming, but then he hit a pothole. He got into some legal trouble with his wife, Kim Mathers, and also for theft and fighting and other issues. He also got into drug habbits and he sometimes was contiplating suicide. He eventually sobered up and said that rap was his anti-drug and he would probably be dead without it. He is still one of the biggest and most listened to rappers of this generation. I think its not only because he is a lyrical genius, but because of the struggles of where he came from and what he had to overcome to become a rapper. It isnt everyday that a white kid living in a trailor park with his mom grows up to be the greatest rapper of all time. That sounds like a one in a million to me and Eminem was that one in a million. i also want to add that he is my favorite rapper, incase you didnt notice. Comment me and tell me who your favorite rapper is or tell me what you think about Eminem and his career.
