Marshall Bruce Mathers III
(born October 17, 1972), known professionally as
Eminem
, is an American
rapper,
songwriter
,
record producer,
and
actor
.
[3]
He became popular in 1999 with the release of the album
The Slim Shady LP
, which won the
Grammy Award for Best Rap Album
that year.
[4]
His next work,
The Marshall Mathers LP
, became the best-selling
solo album
in U.S. history.
[5]
This made him known around the world. He helped publicize his record label,
Shady Records
, and the group
D12
.
The Marshall Mathers LP
and his fourth album,
The Eminem Show
, also won the
Grammy Awards
. This made him the first artist to win the Best Rap Album of the Year award three times in a row. In 2003, he won an
Oscar for Best Original Song
with "
Lose Yourself
." That song was featured in a movie called
8 Mile
. "Lose Yourself" would become the single that for the longest time occupied the top spot of the
hip hop
charts.
[6]
In 2004,
rumors
about the end of his career were announced after the release of
Encore
.
Those rumors were ended with the release of his album
Relapse
on May 19, 2009. According to
Nielsen SoundScan
, Eminem was the best selling artist of the 2000s in the United States and was the 30th best selling artist of all time in 2010, according to the ranking of the
RIAA
,
[7]
with estimated sales of 220 million records worldwide.
[8]
[9]
In 2010, he released
Recovery
.
Recovery
was the best-selling album worldwide of 2010.
[10]
Eminem was voted #79 on
VH1
's "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" list.
[11]
He was ranked 82nd by
Rolling Stone
magazine.
[12]
Including work with
D12
, Eminem has nine albums at the top of the
Billboard Top 200
, seven solo (6 studio, 1 compilation) and two with D12. He has 13 singles in the top position worldwide.
[13]
He was recognized by the
Billboard
as the Artist of the Decade (2000-2009).
[14]
Eminem has also sold more than 17 million
downloads
of his songs in the United States alone.
[15]
In 2009, Eminem was elected the best rapper of all time by popular vote by
Vibe magazine
, beating
Tupac Shakur
in the finals.
[16]
Marshall Bruce Mathers III was born on October 17, 1972 in
St. Joseph
,
Missouri
. He is the only son of Deborah Nelson Mathers-Briggs and Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr.
[17]
[18]
His ancestry is diverse, including
Scottish
,
Welsh
,
English
,
Cherokee
,
German
,
Swiss
,
Polish
, and possibly
Luxembourgish
ancestors.
[19]
[20]
[21]
His father left his family when he was a year and a half old, and Marshall was raised only by his mother in poverty.
[17]
At age twelve, he and his mother Deborah had moved several times and lived in several towns and cities in Missouri (including Saint Joseph,
Savannah
, and
Kansas City
) before settling in
Warren
,
Michigan
, a suburb of
Detroit
.
[22]
Eminem had a very troubled and unstable childhood. He frequently had his house robbed, attempted to commit
suicide
multiple times, and had a hard relationship with his mother.
[23]
He was frequently bullied at school for his short height. When he was 9, he was beaten to the point of
unconciousness
and was
hospitalized
with a
cerebral hemorrhage
.
[24]
After getting a copy of the album
Licensed to Ill
, from the
Beastie Boys
group as a teenager, Marshall became interested in
hip-hop
. He began to make raps at the age of 14 under the
pseudonym
"M&M". Shortly after that, he joined the
Bassmint Productions
group, which released an
EP
titled
Steppin' onto the Scene
.
[25]
After the release of the EP, Bassmint productions changed its same to "Soul intent".
[26]
[27]
[28]
The group released Eminem's first single, called "Fuckin' Backstabber", in 1995 under the independent record label Mashin' Duck Records.
[3]
[29]
Despite being a student at
Lincoln High School
in Warren, Eminem would sneak out and often participated in
freestyle
rap battles at
Osborn High School
in eastern Detroit.
[30]
Even though most of the hip-hop members in his state were
African-Americans
, Marshall ended up being well accepted by the
underground hip-hop
public.
[3]
[17]
After repeating the ninth grade three times for
truancy
and low grades, he dropped out of school at age 17.
[31]
Although he dropped out of school, he eventually got his
GED
.
[32]
In 1991, his uncle, Ronnie Polkingharn, committed
suicide
. Mathers was very close to him and was shocked by this fact. He has a
tattoo
remembering him on his left arm that says "Ronnie RIP".
[33]
1992?1996: Early career and
Infinite
[
change

change source
]
One of Mathers' early
mentors
was the local rapper
Champtown
, who gave Mathers his first time in a studio. Mathers also starred in his first song in Champtown's "Do-Da-Dipity" in 1992. Mathers and Champtown later had relationship problems and their friendship ended in 1995. Champtown said Eminem falsely accused him of trying to get with his wife at the time, Kim.
[34]
Before he began rapping, Mathers also had a few
minimum wage
jobs. Some of these were at a
restaurant
called Gilbert's Lodge and at
Little Caesars
.
[35]
Mathers was first signed to FBT Productions in 1992, run by brothers Jeff and Mark Bass. In 1996, his debut album
Infinite
, which was recorded at
Bassmint
, a recording studio owned by the
Bass Brothers
, was released on the independent company
Web Entertainment
.
[36]
Eminem recalls "Obviously, I was young and influenced by other artists, and I remember several comments saying that I looked like
Nas
and
AZ
.
Infinite
served me to try to figure out what my rap style was, how my voice would sound on the mic and live. It was a growth phase. I felt ' infinite ' as a demo album that ended up being pressed to become studio."
[37]
Subjects covered in
Infinite
included his problems in raising his newborn daughter, Hailie Jade Mathers, in a decent way while he had little money.
[38]
Early in his career, Eminem formed a hip hop
duo
with another Detroit rapper,
Royce da 5'9"
, called
Bad Meets Evil
.
[39]
After the release of Infinite, Eminem's personal problems and
abuse of drugs
and
alcohol
were too much and he attempted suicide.
[40]
Jimmy Iovine
, co-founder of
Interscope Records
, asked for a demo from Eminem after he finished second in the 1997
Rap Olympics
. Eminem had also won
Wake Up show's Freestyle Performer of The Year
, which helped him to land a
recording contract
.
[41]
Iovine played the demo for hip hop producer
Dr. Dre
, the owner of
Aftermath Entertainment
. The two began recording songs for Eminem's
The Slim Shady LP
and Eminem had a
cameo appearance
on the album
Devil Without a Cause
by
Kid Rock
.
[40]
Hip-Hop magazine
The Source
had Eminem in its "Unsigned Hype" article in March 1998.
[42]
Eminem signed with
Interscope Records
and Aftermath Entertainment in 1998. He released his
major-label
debut
album,
The Slim Shady LP
, a year later in February 1999.
Billboard
praised the album as "light years ahead of the material he had written before".
[43]
It went on to be one of the most popular albums
[44]
of 1999, and went 3x
platinum
in the United States before the end of the year.
[45]
The album's popularity also brought controversy around the lyrics. In '97 Bonnie and Clyde" he describes a trip with his newborn daughter, Hailie, when he
discards
his wife's body, and in another song called "
Guilty Conscience
", it ends with
persuading
a man to kill his wife and his lover.
[

"Guilty Conscience" marked the beginning of the friendship and musical bond between
Dr. Dre
and Eminem. The two would later
collaborate
on a lot of hit songs, including "
Forgot About Dre
" and "What's the Difference" from Dr. Dre's album
2001
, "
Bitch Please II
" from
The Marshall Mathers LP
, "Say What You Say" from
The Eminem Show
, "
Old Time's Sake
" and "
Crack a Bottle
" from
Relapse
and "
I Need a Doctor
" and "Die Hard" from Dr. Dre's
Detox
. Dr. Dre would have at least one guest appearance on all of Eminem's studio albums for Aftermath Entertainment.
[46]
The album has now been certified 5x platinum in the US. With this release, Eminem was accused of
imitating
the style and word choice of underground rapper
Cage
.
[47]
[48]
2000?2001:
The Marshall Mathers LP
[
change
|
change source
]
The Marshall Mathers LP
was released in May 2000. The album sold more than 1.78 million copies in the US in its first week, breaking both the record for the best-selling hip hop album,
[49]
held by
Snoop Dogg
's
Doggystyle
, and the best-selling album in its first week in the U.S., held by
Britney Spears
'
...Baby One More Time
.
[49]
[50]
The first single from the album, "
The Real Slim Shady
", was a huge success, although it created a lot of controversy by insulting
celebrities
and making negative claims about them. Among other things, he claims that
Christina Aguilera
had
oral sex
with
Fred Durst
and
Carson Daly
.
[51]
On the album's second single, "
The Way I Am
", he tells his
fans
about the pressure his record company puts on him to surpass the sale of "
My Name Is
". Although Eminem
parodies
rock musician
Marilyn Manson
in the song, the artists are openly friends. Manson starred in the music video for "The Way I Am" and he was also part of a
remix
of the song for a
concert
with Eminem.
[52]
On the album's third and most successful single, "
Stan
", he samples
Dido
's song "
Thank You
". In the song, Eminem plays the
personality
of a
psychopathic
fan
who ends up killing himself and his pregnant
girlfriend
, similar to the song "'97 Bonnie & Clyde" from
The Slim Shady LP
.
[53]
In the music video of "Stan", Eminem is shown writing with his
left hand
. This ended a debate between fans about his dominant hand.
Q Magazine
awarded Stan the third best selling rap song ever,
[54]
while Top40-Charts.com placed the song to be the tenth best-selling rap song.
[55]
The song has since been praised and the
Rolling Stone Magazine
ranked the song as #290 in their 500 Best Songs of All Time.
[56]
In July 2000, Eminem became the first
white
person to come to the front page of
The Source Magazine
.
[42]
The album has received 10x platinum status from the
RIAA
.
Eminem appeared alongside
Elton John
at the
43rd Grammy Awards
in
Los Angeles
in 2001.
[57]
The
Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD)
, an organization that thought Eminem's
lyrics
were
homophobic
, didn't like the openly
gay
John's decision to perform with Eminem.
[58]
Entertainment Weekly
said "It was the hug heard around the
world
. Eminem, under accusations of homophobic lyrics, shared the stage with a homo icon for a performance of Stan that would have been unforgettable in any context."
[59]
On February 21, the day of the ceremony, GLAAD held a protest outside the
Staples Center
, the site where it took place.
[60]
He was also in the
Up In The Smoke Tour
with
Dr. Dre
,
Snoop Dogg
,
Xzibit
and
Ice Cube
[61]
and the
Family Values Tour
with the band
Limp Bizkit
.
[62]
Eminem's third major album,
The Eminem Show
, was released in the summer of 2002 and was another big hit. The album peaked at the
Billboard
Hot 100
, selling well over a million copies in its first week.
[45]
The album's first single was the song "
Without Me
", in which Eminem made
depressive
comments about
Limp Bizkit
,
Moby
and
Lynne Cheney
, among others. Other singles from the album include "
Cleanin' Out My Closet
" and "
Sing for the Moment
". The album has been certified eight times platinum by the RIAA. The album speaks on topics such as his way to
fame
, his relationship with his wife and daughter, and his status in the hip-hop community. He also addresses the
charge
of
assaulting
a
bouncer
who kissed his wife in 2000.
[

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic felt that even though anger was present on several of the album's tracks, the album was not as
provocative
as
The Marshall Mathers LP
.
[63]
L. Brent Bozell III
, who criticized
The Marshall Mathers LP
for being too
tasteless
and
incoherent
, noted that
The Eminem Show
used
obscene
language and gave Eminem the nickname
Eminef
, for the "clean version" of the word
motherfucker
, a word often used on the album.
[64]
The album sold 10,600,000 copies, making it one of Eminem's two
diamond-certified
studio albums.
[65]
On December 8, 2003, The
Media Research Center
said that the
United States Secret Service
admitted that it was "keeping an eye on Eminem" for his allegations and threats with the
President of the United States
.
[66]
The lyrics in question are:
- "Fuck money, I don't rap for dead presidents. I'd rather see the president dead. It's never been said, but I set precedents."
The song, "We as Americans" ended up on a
bonus
CD
accompanying the
Encore
album.
[67]
Encore
was released in 2004 and became another chart-topping leader, driven by the single "
Just Lose It
", which
disrespects
pop singer
Michael Jackson
. On October 12 of the same year, a week after the release of "Just Lose It", Jackson was invited to a radio show in
Los Angeles
where he expressed his displeasure with the music video because it
parodies
the trial for
child abuse
,
plastic surgeries
, and the incident in which Michael's hair caught fire during the filming of a
Pepsi
commercial in 1984.
[

]
Many of Jackson's supporters and friends commented on the video, including
Stevie Wonder
, who said that the video "is like kicking someone who is already on the ground" and "is idiocy".
[

]
Steve Harvey
also stated, "Eminem has lost his
ghetto
pass. We want the pass back". He also said he was not pleased with the way he chose to show the
black community
.
[68]
The music video also makes fun of
Pee-Wee Herman
,
MC Hammer
and
Madonna
.
[69]
In contrast, the comedian
"Weird Al" Yankovic
made a protest to Eminem in the song "Couch Potato", in which he parodies the international success of "Lose Yourself" of the movie
8 Mile
. Yankovic said: "Last year, Eminem forced me to stop the production of the parody video of "Lose Yourself" because he thought it would be detrimental to his image and his career. So the irony of the situation with Michael is not lost to me."
[70]
Black Entertainment Television
was the first channel to ask to stop displaying the video. However,
MTV
announced that it would continue to display "Just Lose It." President Raymond "Benzino" Scott of the
Source
magazine, wanted not only the video to be removed, but also the song from the album, and a public apology from Eminem to Jackson, which did not occur.
[71]
In 2007, Jackson and
Sony
bought
Famous Music LLC
from
Viacom
. The acquisition thus gave them rights to the songs from
Shakira
,
Beck
and Eminem among others.
[72]
Despite the comic issue of the first single,
Encore
had along with him serious subject tracks, such as the song "Mosh". On October 25, 2004, a week before the
United States presidential election
, Eminem released the music video for "Mosh" on the internet.
[73]
The song highlights a strong anti-
Bush
message, with parts like "Fuck Bush" and "This
weapon of mass destruction
that we call the president."
[74]
The video shows Eminem gathering an army of people, including rapper
Lloyd Banks
, presented as victims of the Bush administration and taken to the
White House
. However, at the moment the weapons break, it is revealed that people are there only to
vote
, and it ends with the words "Vote Tuesday November 2!" on the screen. After Bush was re-elected, Eminem modified the video, with demonstrators invading while the president was giving a
lecture
.
[75]
In 2004 he also launched a
satellite music channel,
Shade 45
, on
Sirius XM
radio, which was described by his manager as "essentially a destination to get and hear things that other people aren't playing."
[76]
In 2005, many musical experts
predicted
that Eminem was thinking of ending his career after six years. This began in 2005, when a double album was about to be released under the name of
The Funeral
.
[77]
The album was a
compilation
of
greatest hits
, and was sold under the name
Curtain Call: The Hits
. The album was released by
Aftermath Entertainment
in December 2005, and sold almost 441,000 copies in the first week in the U.S.
[78]
It was Eminem's fourth consecutive album to be number one on the
Billboard
Hot 100
.
[79]
It was certified as platinum twice by the
RIAA
.
[80]
In July 2005, the
Detroit Free Press
said that this would be the final stage of Eminem's
career,
and that he would be interested in becoming a
producer
or
executive
of a
record label
. Eminem denied that he would be retiring through the radio
Mojo in the Morning
of
Detroit
, but stated that he would give a break in his career:
- "I'm at a point in my life right now where I feel like I don't know where my career is going. This is the reason that we called the new CD
Curtain Call,
because this could be the final thing. We don't know."
[81]
In 2006, Eminem released a new compilation called
Eminem Presents: The Re-Up
, to help the growth of the newly created
Shady Records
label. Eminem was the subject of the book
100 People Who Are Screwing Up America
by
Bernard Goldberg
, in which he was ranked in position 58.
[82]
Goldberg quoted a column of
Bob Herbert
from
The New York Times
, who said, "In the world of Eminem, all women are
whores
and he is eager to
rape
them and then
murder
them".
[83]
Goldberg also cited the song "No One's Iller" from
The Slim Shady EP
as an example of
misogyny
.
[84]
In the summer of 2005, Eminem announced a tour called
Anger Management Tour
, featuring artists
50 Cent
,
G-Unit
,
Lil Jon
,
D12
,
Obie Trice
and
The Alchemist
.
[

In August, the European part of the tour was cancelled, as Eminem claimed that he had entered a drug
rehab
clinic for
sleeping pill
addiction
treatment.
[85]
2008?2010:
Relapse
and
Recovery
[
change

change source
]
In September 2007, Eminem spoke with
50 Cent
at the
Hot 97
radio station in
New York City
about his rumored retirement. He said, "I'm always working. I'm always in the studio. It feels good right now, the energy of the label. For a while, I didn't want to go back to the studio... I went through some personal things. Now I'm coming out of those personal things and it feels good."
[86]
[87]
Eminem made his first appearance in a year in September 2008 at his radio station, the
Shade 45
, where he said: "I'm concentrating on my own stuff right now?just bangin' out tracks. The more I keep producing, the better it seems I get. I start knowing stuff, learning the boards like the back of my hands."
[88]
[89]
In an interview with
Billboard
in December 2008, he revealed that the album would be released in the spring on 2009, be called
Relapse,
and most of the tracks would be produced by
Dr. Dre
.
[90]
[91]
In a statement on March 5, 2009, Eminem stated that he would release two albums that year. The first single, "
We Made You
", was released in April.
[92]
Relapse
was officially released on May 19, but did not achieve the same success as the previous four albums.
[93]
Eminem still received positive reviews for his return to hip hop. On November 19, he announced the release of
Relapse: Refill
on December 21. It was a relaunch of
Relapse
with the addition of seven bonus tracks, including "
Forever
" and "Taking My Ball".
On April 14, 2010, Eminem said there was no
Relapse 2
. He had changed its title to
Recovery
.
“I had originally planned for Relapse 2 to come out last year, but as I kept recording and working with new producers, the idea of a sequel to Relapse started to make less and less sense to me, and I wanted to make a completely new album. The music on Recovery came out very different from Relapse, and I think it deserves its own title."
[94]
Recovery
was released on June 18, 2010. It sold 741,000 copies during its first week in the US, topping the
Billboard
200
chart. The album was also at the top of the charts in several other countries.
Recovery
remained atop the
Billboard
200 chart for five weeks. Its first single, "Not Afraid", was released on April 29, and its music video was released on June 4. "
Not Afraid
" was followed by "
Love the Way You Lie
".
Recovery
was the best-selling album worldwide in 2010, with over 3.4 million copies sold.
2012?2014:
The Marshall Mathers LP 2
[

change source
]
On May 24, 2012, Eminem announced that he was working on his eighth studio album, for release the following year.
[95]
During the 2013
MTV Video Music Awards
, it was announced that the album would be named
The Marshall Mathers LP 2
(following
The Marshall Mathers LP
) and was going to be released on November 5. The album was released with 16 tracks. On November 3, Eminem was named the first
YouTube Music Awards
Artist of the Year. Eminem was the first artist to receive two digital diamond certifications for sales and streams of 10 million and above by the
RIAA
for "Not Afraid" and "Love the Way You Lie". At the
2015 Grammy Awards
, he received Best Rap Album award for
The Marshall Mathers LP 2
and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration (with Rihanna) for "The Monster".
[96]
In February 2017, Eminem appeared on "No Favors", a track from
Big Sean's
album
I Decided
. In the song, Eminem calls
Donald Trump
a "bitch". He also raps about sexual assaulting
Ann Coulter
, who is a Trump supporter, with a "
lamp post
", a "
bolt cutter
", and many other objects.
[97]
[98]
Since then Eminem has released Revival, Kamikaze and Music to be Murdered By.
Eminem has one
daughter
named Hailie Jade Scott. She was born on
Christmas Day
1995 in
Detroit
,
Michigan
from ex-wife Kimberly Anne Scott.
[35]
Eminem married her in June 1999 and they divorced in March 2001.
[99]
Although in 2002, he told
Rolling Stone
, "I would rather have a baby through my
penis
than get married again."
[100]
, he remarried Kim in January 2006 but divorced just three months later in April.
He was the
legal guardian
of Alaina, the daughter of Kim's twin sister, and Whitney, Kim's daughter from another relationship.
[101]
He has rapped about his daughters in many of his songs.
[102]
Eminem is also an
NFL
fan, and supports the
Detroit Lions
and the
Dallas Cowboys
.
[32]
On June 3, 2000, Eminem was arrested during an argument at a car-audio store in
Royal Oak, Michigan
. He pulled out an unloaded gun and pointed it at the ground. The next day, in
Warren, Michigan
, he was arrested again for assaulting John Guerra and hitting him with a gun when he saw him kissing his wife.
[103]
[104]
He was charged with
possession
of a
concealed weapon
and
assault
.
[105]
On June 28, 2001, he was sentenced to one year's
probation
and
community service
and was
fined
about $2,000 on weapon charges that came from an argument with a
Psychopathic Records
employee.
[106]
In December 2003, the
U.S. Secret Service
reported that it was "looking into" accusations that Eminem threatened U.S. President
George W. Bush
in "We As Americans" when he said these lyrics: "Fuck money, I don't rap for dead presidents. I'd rather see the president dead, it's never been said but I set precedents."
[107]
Eminem has spoken publicly about his addiction to
prescription drugs
, including
Vicodin
,
Ambien
, and
Valium
. In 2001, he said he believed he had been suffering from
Tourette's syndrome
.
[108]
He revealed that he was taking up to 60 Valium and 30 Vicodin pills every day, and that doctors told him he was two hours away from dying at one point.
[109]
In December 2007, Eminem overdosed on
methadone
. He fell on his bathroom floor while
urinating
and needed to be hospitalized. Due to this, he couldn't spend Christmas break with his kids. He was sent home a few days later, but was readmitted to the
hospital
again with a torn
meniscus
that required
surgery
. He got surgery and was released. A few days later, he was readmitted to the hospital again, this time with a
seizure
.
[32]
Speaking about his addiction, he said, "In seven months I was able to accomplish more than I could accomplish in three or four years of doing drugs."
[110]
During his heavy drug use period, he revealed that he gained 80 pounds, and was going to
McDonald's
and
Taco Bell
every day. He said, "I remember being somewhere and hearing these kids talking. One of them said, 'That’s Eminem,' and the other said, 'No, it’s not, man ? Eminem ain’t fat.' I was like,
Motherfucker
. That’s when I knew I was getting heavy." He also said that
Elton John
was the person who helped him the most with his recovery and that Elton John called him once a week to check on him.
