Marshall Bruce Mathers III (born October 17, 1972),

better known by his stage name Eminem is an American

rapper, record producer, actor and singer. Eminem quickly gained popularity in 1999 with his major-label debut album, The Slim Shady LP, which won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. The following album, The Marshall Mathers LP, became the fastest-selling solo album in history.

It brought Eminem increased popularity, including

his own record label, Shady Records, and brought his group project, D12, to mainstream recognition. The Marshall Mathers LP and his third album, The Eminem Show, also won Grammy Awards, making Eminem the first artist to win Best Rap Album for three consecutive LP's. He then won the award again in 2010 for his album Relapse, giving him a total of 11 Grammys in his career. In 2002, he won the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Lose Yourself" from the film, 8 Mile, in which he also played the lead. "Lose Yourself" would go on to become the longest running #1 hip-hop single.

Eminem then went on hiatus after touring in 2005. He released his

first album since 2004's Encore, titled Relapse, on May 15, 2009. Eminem is the best-selling artist of the decade,

[11]

Eminem also holds the title for having the most number of songs from the 21st century on Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Only one other artist from the 21st century has a song on Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Early life Eminem was born Marshall Bruce Mathers III in Saint Joseph, Missouri, as the son of Deborah Nelson [12]

[14]

He is of Scottish,

[13]

English, German, Swiss, and Polish

His father had left the family before his son's second birthday and never again came into contact with

them. He was raised as an only child by his poverty-stricken mother. By the age of 12, Mathers and his mother had moved between various cities and towns in Missouri (including Saint Joseph, Savannah, and Kansas City)

[15]

before

they settled in Warren, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. After procuring a copy of the Beastie Boys album Licensed to Ill as a teenager, Mathers became interested in hip hop, performing amateur raps at age 14 under the pseudonym "M&M" and joining the group called "Bassmint Productions" and released their first EP, Steppin' Onto The Scene. They later changed their name to "Soul Intent" and around 1995 they released their first single called "Fuckin' Backstabber" under the record label Mashin' Duck Records.

battles at Osborn High School across town,

After

he dropped out of high school at age 17.

[12]

In 1991, Mathers' half-uncle, Ronald "Ronnie" Polkinghorn, committed suicide. Mathers was very close to Polkinghorn, and was devastated at his death; today, he sports a tattoo reading "Ronnie R.I.P." on his upper left arm.

[18]

Musical career 1992â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1998: Early career and Infinite Mathers was initially signed to FBT Productions in 1992, run by brothers Jeff and Mark Bass. Mathers also held a minimum-wage job of cooking and dishwashing at the restaurant Gilbert's Lodge at St. Clair Shores for some time.

[19]

In 1996, his debut album Infinite, which was recorded at the Bassmint, a recording studio owned by the

Bass Brothers, was released under their independent label Web Entertainment.

[20]

Eminem recalled, "Obviously, I

was young and influenced by other artists, and I got a lot of feedback saying that I sounded like Nas and AZ. 'Infinite' was me trying to figure out how I wanted my rap style to be, how I wanted to sound on the mic and present myself. It was a growing stage. I felt like 'Infinite' was like a demo that just got pressed up."

[21]

Subjects covered in

Infinite included his struggles with raising his newborn daughter Hailie Jade Scott while on limited funds and his strong desire to get rich.

[22]

Early in his career, Eminem collaborated with fellow Detroit MC Royce da 5'9" under

the stage name Bad Meets Evil.

[23]

After the release of Infinite, Eminem's personal struggles and abuse of drugs and

alcohol culminated in an unsuccessful suicide attempt.

[1]

With the release of The Slim Shady EP, Mathers was accused of imitating the style and subject matter of underground rapper Cage.

[24] [25]

While promoting the EP, Mathers approached Insane Clown Posse member Joseph

Bruce and handed him a flyer which implied that the group would make an appearance at the EP's release party. Bruce refused to appear because Eminem had not previously approached him for permission to use the group's name in this way. Taking Bruce's response as a personal offense, he subsequently attacked the group in radio interviews.

[26] [27]

Jimmy Iovine, CEO of Interscope Records, requested a demo tape of Eminem's after Eminem won second place at the 1997 Rap Olympics. Iovine played the tape for record producer Dr. Dre, founder of Aftermath Entertainment. The two began recording tracks for Eminem's upcoming major-label debut The Slim Shady LP, and Eminem made a

1998â&#x20AC;&#x201C;1999: The Slim Shady LP According to Billboard Magazine, at this point in his life Eminem had "realized his musical ambitions were the only way to escape his unhappy life". After being signed to Aftermath Entertainment/Interscope Records in 1998, Eminem released his first major studio album, The Slim Shady LP, heavily based on the production by Dr. Dre, one year later in 1999. Billboard praised the album as "light years ahead of the material he had been writing beforehand". year.

[30]

[29]

It went on to be one of the most popular albums of 1999, going triple platinum by the end of the

With the album's popularity came controversy surrounding many of the album's lyrics. In "'97 Bonnie and

Clyde", he describes a trip with his infant daughter, disposing of his wife's body. Another song, "Guilty Conscience", ends with his encouraging a man to murder his wife and her lover. "Guilty Conscience" marked the beginning of the friendship and musical bond that Dr. Dre and Eminem would share. The two label-mates would later collaborate on a line 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, "Encore/Curtains Down" from Encore and "Old Time's Sake" and "Crack a Bottle" from Relapse. Dr. Dre would go on to make at least one [31]

guest appearance on all of Eminem's studio albums under the label Aftermath. The album has now been certified 4 times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), while also selling 9 million worldwide.

2000â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2001: The Marshall Mathers LP The Marshall Mathers LP was released in May 2000. It went on to sell 1.76 million copies in its first week, breaking the records set by Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle as the fastest-selling hip hop album and Britney Spears' ...Baby One More Time as the fastest-selling solo album in United States history.

[2] [32]

The first single released from the album,

"The Real Slim Shady", was a success and created some controversy by insulting celebrities and making dubious claims about them; he states, among other things, that Christina Aguilera performed oral sex on Fred Durst and Carson Daly.

[33]

In his second single, "The Way I Am", he reveals to his fans the pressures from his record company

to top "My Name Is" and sell more records. Although Eminem had parodied shock rocker Marilyn Manson in the video "My Name Is", the artists are reportedly on good terms. They performed a remix of the song "The Way I Am" together in concert.

[34]

In the third single, "Stan" (which samples Dido's "Thank You"), Eminem attempts to deal

with his new-found fame, taking on the persona of a deranged fan who kills himself and his pregnant girlfriend, mirroring "'97 Bonnie & Clyde" on The Slim Shady LP.

[12]

In the music video of "Stan", Eminem was shown writing

with his left hand, ending the fan debate over his dominant hand. Q magazine named "Stan" the third-greatest rap song of all time,

[35]

and the song came tenth in a similar survey conducted by Top40-Charts.com.

[36]

The song has

since become highly acclaimed and was ranked 290th in Rolling Stone magazine's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list.

[37]

In July 2000, Eminem became the first white person to be featured on the cover of The Source magazine.

[28]

This album has been certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), with sales of over 10 million in the United States alone and more than 20 million worldwide. Eminem performed with Elton John at the 43rd Grammy Awards ceremony in 2001;

[38]

the Gay and Lesbian

Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), an organization that perceived Eminem's lyrics to be homophobic, condemned the openly gay John's decision to perform with Eminem.

[39]

Entertainment Weekly put it on its

end-of-the-decade, "best-of" list, saying, "It was the hug heard 'round the world. Eminem, under fire for homophobic lyrics, shared the stage with a gay icon for a performance of "Stan" that would have been memorable in any context."

[40]

On February 21, the day of the ceremony, GLAAD held a protest outside the Staples Center, the venue

where the Grammy ceremony was held.

[41]

Music tours that he participated in for 2001 included the Up In Smoke

Tour with rappers Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, and Ice Cube Bizkit.

2002â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2003: The Eminem Show Eminem's third major album, The Eminem Show, was released in summer 2002 and proved to be another hit for the rapper reaching number one on the charts and selling well over 1 million copies in its first week of release.

[30]

featured the single "Without Me", in which he makes derogatory comments about boy bands, Limp Bizkit, Moby, and Lynne Cheney, among others. The Eminem Show has been certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), selling over 10 million in the United States and well over 20 million worldwide. This makes Eminem one of the only artists to ever have two diamond albums. The album reflected on the impact of his rise to fame, his relationship with his wife and daughter, and his status in the hip-hop community. He also addresses the charges he faced over assaulting a bouncer he saw kissing his wife in 2000. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic felt that while there was clear anger present on several tracks, this album was considerably less inflammatory than The Marshall Mathers LP.

[44]

However, L. Brent Bozell III, who previously criticized The

Marshall Mathers LP for perceived misogynistic lyrics in the album, noted The Eminem Show for its extensive use of obscene language, giving Eminem the nickname "Eminef" for the bowdlerization of motherfucker, an obscenity prevalent in the album.

[45]

2004â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2005: Encore The Media Research Center, which was founded by a conservative activist and is funded by conservative foundations, claims that on December 8, 2003, the United States Secret Service admitted it was "looking into" allegations that Eminem had threatened the President of the United States.

[46]

The lyrics in question: "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 in question, "We As Americans", wound up on a bonus CD accompanying the album.

[47]

In 2004, Eminem released his fourth major album, Encore. It sold over 700,000 copies in its first week of release. Now being certified 7 times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Selling over 15 million worldwide. With 7.8 million being sold in the United States. The album was another chart-topper, as it was driven by the single "Just Lose It", notable for being disrespectful towards Michael Jackson. On October 12, 2004, a week after the release of "Just Lose It", Eminem's first single off Encore, Michael Jackson called into the Los Angeles-based Steve Harvey radio show to report his displeasure with the video, which parodies Jackson's child molestation trial, plastic surgery, and an incident in which Jackson's hair caught on fire while filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984. The lyrics to "Just Lose It" refer to Jackson's legal troubles, however he does state in his song "... and that's not a stab at Michael/That's just a metaphor/I'm just psycho...." Many of Jackson's supporters and friends spoke out about the video, including Stevie Wonder, who called the video "kicking a man while he's down" and "bullshit",

[48]

and Steve Harvey, who declared, "Eminem has lost his ghetto pass. We want the pass back."

the video, Eminem parodied Pee Wee Herman, MC Hammer, and "Blonde Ambition"-era Madonna.

[48]

[49]

Regarding Jackson's protest, "Weird Al" Yankovic, who parodied the Eminem song "Lose Yourself" on a track titled "Couch Potato" on his 2003 album Poodle Hat, told the Chicago Sun-Times, "Last year, Eminem forced me to halt production on the video for my "Lose Yourself" parody because he somehow thought that it would be harmful to his image or career. So the irony of this situation with Michael is not lost on me."

[50]

Black Entertainment Television

was the first channel to stop airing the video. MTV, however, announced it would continue airing the video. The Source, through its CEO Raymond "Benzino" Scott, wanted not only the video to be pulled, but the song off the album, and a public apology to Jackson from Eminem.

[51]

In 2007 Jackson and Sony bought Famous Music LLC

from Viacom. This deal gave him the rights to songs by Eminem, Shakira and Beck, among others.

[52]

Despite the comedic theme of the lead single, Encore had its fair share of serious subject matter, including the anti-war track "Mosh". On October 25, 2004, a week before the 2004 U.S. Presidential election, Eminem released the video for "Mosh" on the Internet.

[53]

The song featured a very strong anti-Bush message, with lyrics such as

"fuck Bush" and "this weapon of mass destruction that we call our president".

[54]

The video features Eminem

gathering up an army of people, including rapper Lloyd Banks, presented as victims of the Bush administration and

Eminem

leading them to the White House. However, once the army breaks in, it is revealed that they are there to simply register to vote, and the video ends with the words "VOTE Tuesday November 2" on the screen. After Bush was re-elected, the video's ending was changed to Eminem and the protesters invading while Bush was giving a speech.

[55]

2005â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2008: Musical hiatus In 2005, some industry insiders speculated that Eminem was considering ending his rapping career after six years and several multi-platinum albums. Speculation began in early 2005 about a double-disc album to be released late that year, rumored to be [56]

titled The Funeral. The album manifested itself as a greatest hits album under the name Curtain Call: The Hits, and was released on December 6, 2005 under Aftermath Entertainment. In July 2005, the Detroit Free Press broke news of a potential final bow for Eminem as a solo performer, quoting members of his inside circle who said that he will begin to fully embrace the role of producer and label executive. On the same day of the release of the compilation album, Eminem denied that he was retiring on Detroit-based WKQI's "Mojo in the Morning" radio show, but implied that he would at least be taking a break as an artist, saying "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 it 'Curtain Call', because this could be the final thing. We don't [57] know."

Eminem performing live on the Anger Management Tour in August 2005

In 2005, Eminem was a subject of Bernard Goldberg's book, 100 [58]

People Who Are Screwing Up America; he ranked #58.

Goldberg cited a 2001 column by Bob Herbert of The

New York Times claiming, "In Eminem's world, all women are whores and he is eager to rape and murder them."

[59]

Goldberg cited Eminem's song "No One's Iller" from The Slim Shady EP as an example of misogyny in his music.

[60]

In summer 2005, Eminem embarked on his first U.S. concert run in three years, the Anger Management 3 Tour, featuring 50 Cent, G-Unit, Lil' Jon, D12, Obie Trice, The Alchemist, and others. In August 2005, Eminem canceled the European leg of the tour and subsequently announced that he had entered drug rehabilitation for treatment for a "dependency on sleep medication".

[61]

2008 onwards: Relapse and Recovery In September 2007, Eminem called into New York radio station Hot 97 during a 50 Cent interview and said he was "in limbo" and "debating" about when and if he would release another album. He said, "I'm always working â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 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. I'm coming out of those personal things [and] it feels good."

[62]

Eminem made an appearance on his Sirius channel Shade 45 in September 2008 in which he said, "Right now I'm kinda just concentrating on my own stuff, for right now and just banging out tracks and producing a lot of stuff. You know, the more I keep producing the better it seems like I get 'cause I just start knowing stuff." time that Interscope finally confirmed the existence of a new Eminem album, as the period span in which the album is due.

[65]

[64]

[63]

It was around this

with Spring 2009 later being stated

In December 2008, he gave more details on the album, which he

recently reported was being titled Relapse. He said, "Me and Dre are back in the lab like the old days, man. Dre will end up producing the majority of the tracks on 'Relapse'. We are up to our old mischievous ways ... let's just leave it

Eminem at that."

6 [66]

On March 5, 2009, Eminem reported in a press release that he would be releasing two new albums that year. Relapse, the first album, was released on May 19, while "We Made You", the first official single and its music video, were released on April 7.

[67]

While Relapse didn't manage to sell as well as Eminem's previous efforts, it was still a

commercial success that received some critical acclaim, while also re-establishing his presence in the hip hop world. Relapse was named one of the top albums of 2009. Relapse has sold more than five million copies worldwide. During the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, Sacha Baron Cohen descended upon the audience wearing an angel's costume and landed on top of Eminem with his buttocks facing towards Eminem's face, resulting in Eminem storming out of the awards ceremony in disgust. Three days later, Eminem admitted it was a staged act that they had planned together.

[68]

On October 3, Eminem appeared once again on Shade 45 with DJ Whoo Kid and announced that Denaun Porter and Just Blaze were very busy working on Relapse 2.

[69]

On October 30, Eminem performed at the Voodoo Music

Experience in New Orleans as a headliner in his first full performance in 2009.

[70]

The performance included several

songs from Relapse, as well as many of Eminem's older hits and an appearance by D12. On November 19, Eminem announced on his website that Relapse: Refill would be released on December 21. The album was a re-release of the Relapse album with seven bonus tracks, including "Forever" and "Taking My Ball". In a statement he described the forthcoming CD:

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

I want to deliver more material for the fans this year like I originally planned ... Hopefully these tracks on The Refill will tide the fans over until we put out Relapse 2 next year ... I got back in with Dre and then a few more producers, including Just Blaze, and went in a completely different direction which made me start from scratch. The new tracks started to sound very different than the tracks I originally intended to be on Relapse 2, but I still want the other stuff to be heard.

â&#x20AC;?

On April 13, 2010, Eminem tweeted, "There is no Relapse 2", to his followers. When he tweeted this, people started to believe that he was not releasing an album at all, but it simply meant that the album title would be changed to Recovery. He confirmed this by tweeting, "Recovery", with a link to his website. Eminem said, "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." His seventh studio [71]

album, Recovery, is due to be out on June 22.

After Ben Roethlisberger's misconduct issues, Eminem blasted him

in a song entitled "Despicable", which was released on his website and will not be featured on Recovery. In it Eminem raps, "I'd rather turn this club into a bar room brawl/Get as rowdy as Roethlisberger in a bathroom stall."

[72]

The first single, "Not Afraid", was released on April 29.

Shady Records and D12 As Eminem succeeded in multi-platinum record sales, Interscope granted him his own record label. He and his manager Paul Rosenberg created Shady Records in late 1999. He followed this by signing his own Detroit collective D12 and rapper Obie Trice to the label. In 2002, Eminem signed 50 Cent through a joint venture between Shady and Dr. Dre's Aftermath label. In 2003, Eminem and Dr. Dre signed Atlanta rapper Stat Quo to the Shady/Aftermath roster. DJ Green Lantern, the former DJ for Eminem, was signed to Shady Records until a dispute related to the 50 Cent and Jadakiss feud forced him to depart from the label; he is no longer associated with Eminem. The Alchemist is now officially Eminem's tour DJ. In 2005, Eminem signed another Atlanta rapper, Bobby Creekwater, to his label along with West Coast rapper Cashis.

[17]

On December 5, 2006, Shady Records released compilation album, Eminem Presents: The Re-Up. It started out as a mixtape but Eminem found that the material was better than expected and released it as a full album. It was meant to help launch the new artists under the roster, like Stat Quo, Cashis and Bobby Creekwater.

[73]

Around the time of

recording Infinite, Eminem and rappers Proof and Kon Artis gathered the group of rappers now collectively in the

Eminem

group D12, short for "Detroit Twelve" or "Dirty Dozen", performing in the manner of the multi-man group Wu-Tang [74]

Clan. In 2001, Eminem brought his rap group, D12, to the popular music scene, and the group's debut album [75] Devil's Night came out that year. The first single released off of the album was "Shit on You", followed by "Purple Pills", an ode to recreational drug use. For radio and television, the censored version "Pills" was heavily rewritten to remove many of the song's references to drugs and sex and was renamed "Purple Hills". While that single was a hit, the album's second single, "Fight Music", was not as successful.

[76]

After their debut, D12 took a three-year break from the studio, later regrouping to release their second album, D12 World, in 2004, which featured the popular hit single release "My Band".

[75]

In April 2006 D12 member (and

Eminem's childhood friend) Deshaun "Proof" Holton was killed in a club brawl on 8 Mile Road in Detroit, Michigan, with U.S. military veteran Keith Bender Jr., who also died in the fray. The eruption is suspected to have been due to an argument over a game of pool. Proof was then allegedly shot by the bouncer Mario Etheridge, Bender's cousin. He was taken by private vehicle to St. John Health's Conner Creek Campus, an outpatient emergency treatment site, but pronounced dead on arrival. Eminem and former Detroit Shady Records artist Obie [77]

Trice spoke at the funeral. D12 member Bizarre said that Eminem is not featured on his new album Blue Cheese [78] & Coney Island because "he's busy doing his thing".

Influences and rapping technique Eminem has named several MCs who influenced his rapping style – these include Esham, [81]

[80]

[81]

[79]

[80]

Kool G Rap,

Masta

[81]

In the book How to Rap, Guerilla Black notes that Eminem studied other MCs to create his rapping technique – [82]

“ Eminem listened to everything and that’ s what made him one of the greats” . In the same book, Eminem is praised for various aspects of his rapping technique by numerous other MCs – these techniques include: his varied [83]

[84]

and humorous subject matter, connecting with his audience, carrying a concept over a series of [85] [86] [87] albums, complex rhyme schemes, his ability to bend words so that they rhyme, his use of multisyllabic [80] [88] [89] [90] rhymes, fitting many rhymes in each bar, complex rhythms, clear enunciation, use of [91] [92] melody, and syncopation. He is also known to write the majority of his lyrics down on paper, as documented [93] in his book The Way I Am, as well as taking a few days or a week to craft lyrics, being a “ workaholic” ,

[94]

and “ stacking” vocals.

[95]

Featurings and productions Although he typically collaborates with various rappers under Aftermath Entertainment and Shady Records, such as Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, D12, Eminem has collaborated with many other artists, including, Redman, Kid Rock, DMX, Missy Elliott, Jay-Z, Method Man, Jadakiss, Fat Joe, Sticky Fingaz, T.I. and others. Eminem rapped a verse in a live performance of Busta Rhymes' "Touch It" remix at the 2006 BET Music Awards on June 27, 2006. Eminem was featured on Akon's single "Smack That" which appeared on Akon's album Konvicted. Eminem is also an active rap producer. Besides being the executive producer of D12's two albums, Devil's Night and D12 World, he has executive produced Obie Trice's Cheers and Second Round's on Me as well as 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin' and The Massacre.

[96]

In addition, Eminem has produced and appeared on several songs by other

famous rappers, such as Jadakiss' "Welcome To D-Block", Jay-Z's "Renagade" and "Moment of Clarity" Lloyd Banks' "On Fire", "Warrior Part 2", and "Hands Up", Tony Yayo's "Drama Setter", Trick Trick's "Welcome 2 [97]

Detroit", and Xzibit's "My Name" and "Don't Approach Me".

Most of The Eminem Show was produced by

Eminem himself, with co-production from longtime collaborator Jeff Bass.

[98]

He split the production with Dr. Dre

on Encore. In 2004, Eminem was the Executive Producer of 2Pac's posthumous album Loyal to the Game with 2Pac's mother Afeni Shakur.

[99]

Eminem

8 [102]

on Me. Eminem produced 8 tracks on the album. He was featured in the song "There They Go". Eminem [103] produced some tracks on the new Trick Trick album, The Villain. He is also featured in "Who Want It".

Acting career Although he had a brief cameo in the 2001 film, The Wash, Eminem made his official Hollywood acting debut with the semi-autobiographical 8 Mile, released in November 2002. He has said the movie is not an account of his life, but a representation of growing up in Detroit. He recorded several new songs for the soundtrack, including "Lose Yourself", which won an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2003. However, the song was not performed at the ceremony, due to Eminem's absence at the ceremony. His collaborator, Luis Resto, who co-wrote the song, accepted the award.

[104]

Eminem has participated in various voice acting roles. Some of these include the video game 50 Cent: Bulletproof, where he voices an aging corrupt police officer who speaks in Ebonics and guest spots on the Comedy Central television show Crank Yankers, and a web cartoon called The Slim Shady Show, which has since been pulled off-line and is instead sold on DVD.

[105]

He will be involved in either the soundtrack or scoring.

[106]

He was also in the

running for the part of David Rice in 2008's film Jumper after Tom Sturridge was dropped just two weeks before filming. Concerns over not having a more prominent actor prompted the director, Doug Liman, to consider other actors for the role. He eventually selected Hayden Christensen over Eminem.

[107]

He also had a cameo appearance in

the 2009 movie Funny People, in which he is involved in an argument with Ray Ramano (who also makes a cameo appearance). It was reported on November 8, 2009 that Eminem will star in the upcoming 3D horror anthology, Shady Talez, directed by John Davis. A four-issue comic book series based on the film is also expected to be published sometime [108]

in 2010.

Memoir On October 21, 2008, Eminem released a tell-all autobiography entitled The Way I Am, which details his struggles with poverty, drugs, fame, heartbreak and depression, along with stories about his rise to fame and commentary on past controversies. This book also contains some of the original lyric sheets from songs such as "Stan" and "The Real Slim Shady."

[109]

Personal life Family Mathers has often been subject of much scrutiny as a rapper as well in his personal life.

[32]

He was married twice to

Kimberley Anne Scott, whom he met in high school. They began their on-and-off relationship in 1989, getting married by 1999. Their first divorce was in 2001.

[110]

In 2000, Scott attempted suicide and sued Eminem for

defamation after he depicted her violent death in his song "Kim".

[110] [111]

They remarried in January 2006 but their

second divorce was finalized in December of the same year, agreeing to share custody of their daughter, Hailie Jade [110] [111] [112]

Scott (born December 25, 1995).

Hailie Scott has often been referenced or featured on various Eminem

songs, such as "'97 Bonnie & Clyde", "Hailie's Song", "My Dad's Gone Crazy", "Mockingbird", "Forgot About Dre", "Cleanin' Out My Closet", "When I'm Gone", "Deja Vu", "Beautiful" and "Airplanes Part II". In early 2010, Eminem responded publicly to tabloid reports of his pending reunion with Kim with a firm denial.

[113] [110]

Eminem adopted two other daughters: Alaina "Lainey" Mathers, the child of Kimberley Scott's sister, who has been referenced by name in some Eminem songs including "Mockingbird" and "Airplanes Part II"; and Whitney, Scott's child from a previous relationship. He is also the legal guardian of his younger half-brother, Nathan.

Eminem

Legal troubles In 1999, Mathers' mother sued him for around US$10 million over alleged slander about her in his lyrics regarding The Slim Shady LP; she won only about US$1,600 in damages in 2001.

[114]

Mathers was arrested on June 3, 2000 during an altercation at a car audio store in Royal Oak, Michigan, with Douglas Dail, where he pulled out an unloaded gun and kept it pointed at the ground.

[115]

The following day, in

Warren, Michigan, he allegedly saw his then wife, Kim, kiss bouncer John Guerrera in the parking lot of the Hot Rock CafĂŠ, and he assaulted him.

[110] [111] [115]

He was given two years probation for both episodes.

[116]

In the summer of 2001, Mathers was sentenced to probation on weapons charges that stemmed from an argument with an employee of Psychopathic Records, giving him a fine around $2,000 as well as several hours of community service.

[117]

In 2007, his music publishing company, Eight Mile Style LLC, together with Martin Affiliated LLC, filed suit against Apple, Inc and Aftermath Entertainment claiming Aftermath did not have the appropriate authority to negotiate a deal with Apple for digital downloads of 93 Eminem songs on Apple's iTunes service. case against Apple went to trial in late September 2009 and was settled a few days later.

[118] [119] [120]

The

[121]

Drug issues Eminem has spoken openly about his addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs, including Vicodin, Ambien, Valium and Methadone.

[122]

His group-mate Proof from D12 stated that Mathers "sobered up" in 2002 from drug

[123]

However, he did turn to zolpidem sleeping pills for relief from sleeping troubles. This

and alcohol dependence.

caused Mathers to cancel the European leg of the Anger Management Tour in August 2005 and eventually go into rehab for treatment for a "dependency on sleep medication".

[61] [124]

In a 2009 interview with British talk-show host

Jonathan Ross, Mathers admitted that at the height of his addiction, he considered suicide, saying that "I just wasn't taking care of myself, at times I wanted to just give it up."

[125]

He also confirmed that he is now sober, commenting

that "[R]ap was my drug ... Then I had to resort to other things to make me feel that. Now rap's getting me high again."

[125]

Conflict with Mariah Carey Eminem has written several songs referring to a relationship with pop singer Mariah Carey, although she denies the claim.

[126]

She says that they hung out but nothing sexual or intimate occurred. Eminem has referenced her on many

songs that include "Superman", "Jimmy Crack Corn", "Bagpipes From Baghdad", and "The Warning". While "Superman" was released in 2003, Carey released a song entitled "Clown" on her Charmbracelet album, released around the same time, which makes similar references in line with her 2009 hit "Obsessed". Eminem's "Bagpipes From Baghdad" from his album Relapse may be his most well known reference to Carey due to the controversy it caused. The song disparages Mariah and husband Nick Cannon's relationship.

[127]

Cannon

responded to Eminem by saying his career is based on "racist bigotry", and that he would get revenge on Eminem, joking that he may return to rapping. wishing the two the best. feelings about the song.

[127]

[128]

Eminem later stated that the couple misinterpreted the track and it was

Cannon also stated that there were no hard feelings, and that he just had to express his

[129]

In 2009, Carey released "Obsessed" in which she sings about an obsessed man who claims to be having a relationship with her.

[130]

Cannon claimed that the song was not an insult directed at Eminem.

[131]

However Eminem

responded in late July 2009 by releasing a track titled "The Warning". It contained samples of voice mail recordings which Eminem claimed were left by Mariah Carey when the two were together.

[132]

Eminem also hinted that he had

other evidence of their relationship in his possession. Neither Carey nor Cannon have responded to the content of the song.

He was also named "Best Rapper

Ever" taking down all opponents very easily in a poll which was conducted by music fans on the Vibe website. Ironically, "The Real Slim Shady", one of the songs from his first Grammy-winning album, The Marshall Mathers LP, slammed the Grammy Awards in its second verse, and stated the opinion that negative feelings about his material would keep him from ever winning one.

"Like Toy Soldiers" went on to top the UK Singles Chart and two other songs, "Mockingbird" and "Ass Like That" reached position number four. Eminem released in 2005 a greatest hits album Curtain Call: The Hits, which sold almost three million copies in the US

[20]

After a break of more than four years, Relapse, Eminem's sixth studio

album, was released in 2009 and was the rapper's fourth consecutive studio album to once again top the Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom and US as well as various worldwide charts, with domestic sales of over one million copies to-date.

Footnotes a. The forty-two platinum certifications by the Recording Industry Association of America include twenty-nine [31] [48] [53] [85] platinum certifications credited as a solo artist and eleven certifications with various artists. b. The reported chart positions are of the latter release The Slim Shady LP (Special Edition). The original album release peaked up to number forty-six on the Belgian Ultratop and seventy-seven on the Swiss Record Charts.

c. For certifications of The Slim Shady LP and E, enter Eminem in the "artist name" field.

d. To retrieve certifications from the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand, select the field "Top 40 Album Chart" along the following:

[182]

• "Chart #1160" for The Slim Shady LP (Gold) • "Chart #1277" for The Marshall Mathers LP (5× Platinum) • "Chart #1363" for The Eminem Show (8× Platinum) • "Chart #1363" for 8 Mile (4× Platinum) • "Chart #1458" for Encore (4× Platinum) • "Chart #1510" for Curtain Call: The Hits (4× Platinum) • "Chart #1555" for Eminem Presents: The Re-Up (2× Platinum) • "Chart #1673" for Relapse (Platinum) e. The reported peak chart positions are indicative of the UK Compilation Albums Chart, as soundtracks and [183] [184]

compilation albums by various artists are not eligible for the UK Albums Chart. f. Although the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts both comprise up to a hundred songs, the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles and Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles act as an extension to each chart. Thus, songs that have peaked up to these extension charts are listed in this discography under the Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs with values over a hundred.

Infinite is the debut studio album by American rapper Eminem and is the earliest release, published by Web Entertainment. The album was recorded and produced in 1995, with help from The Bass Brothers and fellow D12 members Kon Artis, Proof and Eye-Kyu, along with fellow Rappers Thyme of 5 Elementz and Three.

Infinite (Eminem album)

History Infinite is Eminem's debut full-length and professionally packaged album. After years of cutting demo tracks with his mentors, the Bass Brothers, at their Ferndale, Michigan studio (dubbed "The Bassmint"), Eminem was ready to release his debut album. The album was written and recorded in 1995. At the time the album was first conceived, Eminem had been using the stage name M&M. However, he changed his stage name after the release of his first official single, in early 1995. Infinite marks the debut of the name "Eminem". The album was only released on cassette and vinyl, and was originally sold through Mathers himself. Only 1,000 cassettes and 100 vinyl records were made. Eminem himself, and old friends from around the time Infinite was recorded, have claimed the laid-back and humble nature of the album is due to Eminem purposely making "radio-friendly" songs in hopes of getting on the air of Detroit's leading Hip Hop radio station, WJLB. Bootlegged compact-disc copies are commonly found on sites such as eBay. The song "Backstabber" is a re-cut version of a song called "Fuckin' Backstabber", which is featured on Eminem's demo tape released by Soul Intent. The album received mixed critical reviews and was met with derision from within the local hip-hop community, earning Eminem unfavorable accusations of copying other rappers' styles, particularly Nas and AZ. Eminem recalls:

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Obviously, I was young and influenced by other artists, and I got a lot of feedback saying that I sounded like Nas and AZ. Infinite was me trying to figure out how I wanted my rap style to be, how I wanted to sound on the mic and present myself. It was a growing stage. I felt like [5] [6] [7] Infinite was like a demo that just got pressed up.

â&#x20AC;?

While it contains some swearing, Infinite is relatively inoffensive compared to the subsequent albums that would make Eminem famous. In 2003, this album was released, although it seemed legitimate it was most likely pirated, containing many clicks, pops, and other defects in the sound quality. The "European Re-Issue" contains bonus tracks regarding as freestyles and unreleased tracks, no names for these tracks are given on the case. [8]

In 2009, Thisis50.com , re-released it for a free download on their website to build anticipation for his highly [9] anticipated album Relapse.

Production On a DVD about Eminem's life, a former friend and collaborator of Eminem's, named DJ Rec, stated that "Infinite" was produced by a variety of producers who were never credited. The album artwork says the album was produced by Denaun Porter and "Slim" for F.B.T. Productions. However, it may be possible that DJ Rec, and others, contributed to the production of "Infinite." It is known that former D12 DJ, DJ Head, produced the "W.E.G.O." skit on the album. Proof of D12 may have also co-produced the track as well, as his vocals are featured on the skit. Not only that, but on the original cassette artwork, Proof is credited for doing "Additional Drum Programming" on several tracks. Former Bassmint Productions and Soul Intent DJ and co-producer, DJ Butterfingers, also contributed several cuts and scratches to the album. Since he was so involved in that aspect, he may have also done some un-credited production as well. Butterfingers' cuts and scratches appear on "Infinite" and "Tonite".
