Eminem
I’m thinking of a person his name is Marshall Mathers but not a lot of people know him by that name, most people know him as Eminem the multi platinum selling artist. He is the most successful rapper in history and the most controversial thing about him is that he is white and he is a rapper, rap is pronominal black race because they have a lot more rhythm. But to know how he comes up with his amazing rhymes and hardcore songs you have to look in his past when he was a kid, this is story. In the story we meet him his mom, one of his only friends whose nickname was future. Who basically introduced Marshall to rap and hosted the battles at the shelter, in this book you learn a lot about how Marshall was raised through a tough life full of hardships that he had to overcome to able him to be what he is today.

When Eminem was a kid he lived on the famous 8 mile road that separated the black or the 313 and white half of the 818 of Detroit. When he was a kid he had no friends he was bullied everywhere his mom was an abusive drug addict, who barley took an interest in Eminem, his dad walked out on him when he was a few months old. Some severe cases was when Eminem was out on a playground one of the many bullies was confronting him and he took it to far and put Eminem into a comma and when Eminem came to for about three months after he had panic attacks whenever he saw someone that looked like his attacker. Another case was when Eminem was in the bathroom his major bully whose name was De’angelo Bailey broke his nose and left him in the bathroom. After that Eminem had amnesia for a while. Eminem failed the eighth grade three times. Finally he dropped out of school and began rap battling at the local shelter on the black side of Detroit. That is when future mainly comes on to place. Marshall was a genus but not in school smarts he could piece together music and rhymes very easily. But rap battling probably not what you think it is basically you have a certain amount of time to rhyme and insult the challenger. But when Eminem went to his first rap battle he chocked and got booed off stage and before the rap battle he threw up in the bathroom. When he rap battled he was up against the free world group that specialized in rap battling first he rap battled Lickety Split form the free world and Eminem beat him by a long shot then he versed Lotto but that battle was close but Eminem won. Then it was the championship round and it was Eminem vs. the defending champion and part of the free world Papa Doc, at that battle Eminem put it into full drive and released everything he had at Papa Doc and when it was Papa Docs turn he chocked and Eminem became the champion after the battle a couple days later the free world group wanted revenge so they went to his trailer park and beat him up.

After he got out of Detroit he was a free rapper looking to be signed but he kept getting rejected but then came Dr. Dre a legendary rapper that had already changed rap twice and was out to do it a third time this time with Eminem so he signed Eminem to Aftermath records, even though everyone said don’t sign him because he was white. After that Eminem released his first album the Slim Shady LP and in the first week of sales he sold over 500,000 albums and after every new album the sales increased when his next album got released The Marshall Mathers LP it sold over 10 million albums in the first week. But along with a lot of people liking him many people hated him they called him the king of hate. After the second album was released he had made a rap group up called D12 that consisted of one of his high school friend cooper and a bunch of other guys for about three years he was with D12 then it was back to rapping. But then a terror struck Eminem he was addicted to drugs like vikiden, and a bunch of others he was averaging 20 to 30 pills a day finally in 2003 he had overdosed and passed out in the bathroom when he woke up he was in the hospital and the doctor said he was an hour away from dying. After that event he entered rehab which inspired him to write When I’m Gone on his album Curtain Call The Hits. After his three year hastiest he was back but with a new sense he was going to bring up someone like he was so he signed 50 cent a drug dealer who had talent from the streets of Queens. After he had bring up 50 to super stardom to it was back to writing his own songs he had won Grammies and at now times has three children and he had released his latest album Recovery that he had cleaned up himself and he was back.
