Eminem, byname of Marshall Bruce Mathers III, (born October 17, 1972, St. Joseph, Missouri, U.S.), American rapper, record producer, and actor who was known as one of the most-controversial and best-selling artists of the early 21st century.

Mathers had a turbulent childhood, marked by poverty and allegations of abuse. At age 14 he began rapping in clubs in Detroit, Michigan, and, when unexcused absences kept him in the ninth grade for the third year, he quit school, determined to make it in hip-hop music. As Eminem, he made a name for himself in the hip-hop underground, both as a solo artist and as a member of the Detroit-based rap sextet D12 (also known as the Dirty Dozen). His first album, Infinite (1996), sold poorly, however, and he continued to work menial jobs.

When Eminem placed second in the freestyle category at the 1997 Rap Olympics in Los Angeles, he came to the attention of Dr. Dre, founding member of pioneering rappers N.W.A. and the head of Aftermath Entertainment. By that time Eminem had developed the persona of the inhibitionless Slim Shady, who gave voice to Eminem’s id in often vulgar and violent lyrics. With Dr. Dre as his producer and mentor, Eminem released The Slim Shady LP early in 1999. Benefiting from the inventive channel-surfing music video for the hit song “ My Name Is” and the instant credibility of Dr. Dre’s involvement, the album sold several million copies, and Eminem won two Grammy Awards and four MTV Video Music Awards.

Grounded in his life experience but seemingly reflecting a troubled psyche, Eminem’s songs outraged many, including the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, which denounced him as a homophobic misogynist. His tumultuous relationship with his wife, Kim, was chronicled in songs in which he rapped about killing her. In 2000 Eminem was charged with assault when he allegedly pistol-whipped a man he saw kissing her; the couple divorced in 2001, and their relationship remained rocky (in 2006 the couple remarried and divorced again). His mother also sued him for defaming her in song and in interviews.

In 2000 Eminem released The Marshall Mathers LP, which set a record in the United States for the fastest-selling rap album. The incredible success of the album, which included the provocative hit singles “The Real Slim Shady” and “Stan,” brought more controversy. To silence critics, in 2001 Eminem performed a duet with openly gay musician Elton John at the Grammy Awards, where The Marshall Mathers LP was nominated for best album of the year. Later that year he recorded the album Devil’s Night with D12 and toured with the group. He also created his own record label, Shady Records. The D12 collective, 50 Cent, and other rappers signed to and released albums with the label.

Eminem returned in 2002 with The Eminem Show, which proved to be nearly as popular as The Marshall Mathers LP. Also that year he made his acting debut in the semiautobiographical 8 Mile. The gritty film was a critical and commercial success. The following year he won an Academy Award for “Lose Yourself,” a song featured in the movie. After reteaming with D12 for D12 World (2004), Eminem released Encore (2004) and a greatest-hits set, Curtain Call: The Hits (2005), both of which sold well but failed to garner as much attention as his previous albums had. He then stepped out of the public eye, resurfacing briefly in 2006 to eulogize friend and D12 member Proof, who was killed outside a Detroit nightclub. Two years later Eminem published the memoir The Way I Am, which included photos, drawings, and lyrics.

Relapse (2009) marked Eminem’s first collection of new material in five years. Although it featured solid production from Dr. Dre, the album met with middling reviews because of its over-the-top attempts to shock and its somewhat dated catalog of pop culture references. Nevertheless, the single “Crack a Bottle” became Eminem’s second song to top the Billboard singles chart (after “Lose Yourself”), and Eminem won Grammy Awards for both the song and the album. His next album, Recovery (2010), was a response to the criticisms leveled at Relapse. Although Eminem was no longer at the vanguard of hip-hop, Recovery demonstrated that he remained a potent commercial force, as the soul-baring singles “Not Afraid” and “ Love the Way You Lie” (featuring the singer Rihanna) both became major hits. Eminem reteamed with Rihanna on “The Monster,” from The Marshall Mathers LP 2 (2013), and the album became his sixth to win the Grammy Award for best rap album. Eminem received mixed reviews for Revival (2017), and Kamikaze (2018) was described by many critics as somewhat curmudgeonly in tone. Such criticism had little impact on sales, however, and in 2020 Music to Be Murdered By became his 10th consecutive album to debut at the top of the Billboard 200 chart. In addition, Eminem occasionally collaborated with rapper Royce da 5′9″ under the name Bad Meets Evil; among their releases was the EP Hell: The Sequel (2011).

Biography of Eminem

Childhood

The first steps to success

The teenagers regularly took part in local informal freestyle competitions. As they were gradually winning a place in the area that was considered to fully belong to black people, they were acquiring more and more fans.

Youth

In 1991, Uncle Ronnie shot himself because of unhappy love. For Eminem, it was such a shock that he lost his speech for several days.

His mother Deborah constantly had conflicts with him. Although from an early age Marshall worked part-time to support the family, she drove him out of the house very often. She had a difficult character described by a social worker as «excessive suspiciousness close to paranoia.» Nevertheless, in 1987, she sheltered Eminem’s girlfriend Kimberly Scott who later became his wife.

Musical career

The new mood of the singer led to the creation of a new stage image, a sort of alter-ego under the pseudonym Slim Shady. This guy literally praised violence, drugs, and even murders with sadistic pleasure. However, under this outer shell, he touched on social injustice, poverty, love, and family problems.

This was the mood of his new album «Slim Shady EP» recorded in the spring of 1997. The disc was complete but stayed without promotion so Eminem went to the Rap-Olympics, the annual national battle rap competition held in Los Angeles. In this biggest battle, the artist placed second drawing attention of the organizers. One of them, Jimmy Iowine listened to the album «Slim Shady EP» and gave it to the famous rapper and rap producer Andre Romell Yang better known under the pseudonym, Dr. Dre. He immediately took Eminem under his wing and in 1999, the album «The Slim Shady LP» was successfully re-released and became a bestseller. It had become platinum three times by the end of the year and brought the artist his first Grammy award.

As he worked on the album «Encore», Marshall often used drugs, and then got a little confused in his creative plans. After recording this work, he decided to take a break. The silence was broken only by the re-release of old compositions in the CD «Curtain Call: The Hits» and the release of the collection «Eminem Presents: The Re-Up» in which the artist introduced new musicians Boby Creekwater and Cashis.

In 2007, Eminem recorded the song «Peep Show» for the new album «Curtis» of the famous rapper 50 Cent, and then again disappeared from the music world for a year and a half.

The silence was interrupted in February 2009 by the release of the song «Crack a Bottle» with the participation of 50 Cent and Dr. Dre; followed by a few more singles. In May, a new full-length album «Relapse» was finally released. The key theme of this disc and its advertising campaign was Marshall’s getting rid of drug addiction. The artist himself described this work as a return to the «good old days».

The next album «The Marshall Mathers LP 2» was released in August 2013 and became one of the most anticipated CDs in a few years. It is called the most «atmospheric» of Eminem’s albums, marked with the spirit of nostalgia for his youth. Many well-known artists were invited for the recording – not only rappers but also singers of other genres including R’n’B-singer Rihanna.

In 2017, Eminem was working on a new album «Revival,» his first solo disc after «The Marshall Mathers LP 2» released in 2013. Earlier in 2017, he released a video with a rap song harshly criticizing the president of the United States

Cinema career and other works

In 2008, the artist published his autobiography «The Way I Am.» He also founded his own charitable fund «The Marshall Mathers Foundation» to help children from disadvantaged families.

Eminem’s personal life

Marshall attended Lincoln High School in Warren, Michigan, 1986-1989.

Being a rap fan for most of his life, Marshall began rapping at the early age of 4.

His very first album was titled «Infinite» and, while the album sold less than a thousand copies, it was the gearing up stages for the rapper who became a millionaire.

Who Is Eminem?

Rapper, actor and music producer Eminem is one of the best-selling musicians of the 21st century and one of the most influential rappers of all time.

Born Marshall Bruce Mathers III in 1972 in Missouri, Eminem had a turbulent childhood. He dropped out of school in the ninth grade and worked odd jobs until finally making it as a rapper upon the release of The Slim Shady LP in early 1999. The album went multi-platinum, garnering Eminem two Grammy Awards and four MTV Video Music Awards.

In 2000, Eminem released The Marshall Mathers LP, which was noted as the fastest-selling album in rap history. Two years later, he delivered the Academy Award-winning song «Lose Yourself,» from the semi-autobiographical drama 8 Mile.

In 2010, he released the Grammy-winning album Recovery, a highly autobiographical attempt to come to terms with his struggles with addiction and experience with rehabilitation.

The Marshall Mathers LP 2 (2013) also garnered numerous accolades, and the rapper later followed with Revival (2017), Kamikaze (2018) and Music to Be Murdered By (2020).

Eminem’s Mom and Dad

Eminem never knew his father, Marshall Mathers Jr., who abandoned the family when Eminem was still an infant and rebuffed all of his son’s many attempts to contact him during his childhood.

As a result, Eminem was raised by his mother, Deborah Mathers. Eminem has been scathingly critical of the way his mother raised him. Through his song lyrics, he has publicly accused her of being addicted to prescription drugs as well as subjecting him to emotional and physical abuse.

In 2008, Deborah published My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem: Setting the Record Straight on My Life As Eminem’s Mother, a memoir recounting her side of the story and their complicated relationship. In the book, she claims to have never exploited her son, and that her only concern was for her children.

Early Life and Education

Eminem was born Marshall Bruce Mathers III on October 17, 1972, in St. Joseph, Missouri.

Eminem’s mother never managed to hold down a job for more than several months at a time, so they moved frequently between Missouri and Detroit, Michigan, spending large chunks of time in public housing projects.

«I would change schools two, three times a year,» Eminem later recalled. «That was probably the roughest part about it all.»

This itinerant lifestyle left a large impact on his personality. He had no close friends, kept almost entirely to himself and was treated like an outcast at each new school. «Beat up in the bathroom, beat up in the hallways, shoved into lockers,» he remembered.

Eminem attended Lincoln High School in Warren, Michigan, where he failed the ninth grade three times and eventually dropped out at the age of 17. Yet despite being a poor student, Eminem always had a deep affinity for language, devouring comic books and even studying the dictionary.

Ex-Wife and Daughter

Eminem was just 15 when he met 13-year-old Kim Ann Scott at a house party. Kim, who claimed that she didn’t know her father and had been sexually abused by her stepfather, came to live with Eminem and his mother Deborah.

Eminem and Kim soon began dating, but their relationship was turbulent from the start. Deborah threw the couple out when Eminem dropped out of school. In 1995, the couple had a daughter named Hailie Jade Scott. The couple broke up and got back together many times, finally marrying just before Eminem left on his first major tour in 1999. They divorced in 2000.
