Marshall Bruce Matters, better-known by his artistic name Eminem (a name created by his two initials: (M&M), was born the 17th October of 1972 in Kansas City, Missouri.
His childhood was really difficult to him: he grew up without any father, because he leaved him when he was only six months. His mother always blamed him for it. Marshall was moving all time from Kansas to Detroit as well. Because of the bad relationship with his mother, his grandmother, Betty Kresin, looked after him with loving care.
He was interested in hip-hop since he was a child, especially because he was living on a neighbourhood of black people. His aunt Ronnie taught him to be interested on music and to know how to rapper to be able to adapt with the rest of black people. That was very hard because of the colour of his skin: he was white. His neighbours didn’t accept him, because they thought that a white boy couldn’t sing as many great rimes as them, and they decided to call him “white speck”.
He didn’t have friends because he was moving like twice or three times for a year. Rap, however, became his consolation. When he was on 9th grade he decided to leave school and find a job, but he never forgot his music. He worked in many places…but always with a low salary. His only dream was to be able to break the colour barriers on music, and to show that he was talented.
His first steps to fame were when he was only fourteen years old. He recorded a CD, but it didn’t have good critics because people said that it was influenced by other rappers work. Eminem realized of it, and from that moment he found his true style. The most impressed by his talent was Dr. Dre, who made Eminem famous around all the USA. His lyrics were in that moment darker than before, that was the real Eminem. His music’s nature had become aggressive and provocative. His first job with Dr. Dre was called “The Slim Shady LP”, and it was created on 1998. Eminem is always saying that Dr. Dre is the best hip-hop producer that has ever existed.
On 2000 Eminem finally gets a global recognition. That year he recorded another CD: “The Marshall Mathers”. With that project he sold many CD’s around the world, and he won three Grammys.
2002 was an important year in Eminem's career. It appeared a new job: "The Eminem Show", That CD had a lot of successful singles recorded, and let Eminem win two more Grammys. In the same year the singer debuted on the big screen with "8 Mille". Eminem was the main character of the film, and also he wrote song from the original sound track which won an Oscar prize.
He hadn't ehough with music and film, so he wanted to be a virtual star too. An informatics companysold a videogame that has some Eminem's songswhich are the tuning.
After filming "8 Mille" the rapper said that he wouldn't perform ever again because it was it was too much difficult and hard for a singer, but his thoughts seemed to change soon when the rumous said that he was going to be the main character on a film about the young Jewish boxer: Dmitry Salita. And moreover Eminem was training hard to get it.
Meanwhile, he announced that his nearest project was creating a radio station with only rap music the 24 hours. Also, the singer ensured that his radio's music would be from any discography.
In 2004 Eminem collaborated with "D12", the band sponsored by him. At the end of 2004, after some time with any news from jim, Eminem came back with a new album: "Encore", the continuation of "The Eminem Show". This CD had some unpublished lyrics. What's more Eminem was working on a tribute to the death rapper Tupac.
With his success a wonderful fact happened: in 2005 was born his first daughter, Hailie Jade Scott. Hailie was an important influence to his dad in a lot of songs, which are magnificient and full of love. Baby's mother is Kimberly Mathers, who had a relationship with Eminem for eight years. Finally, they split up because they were always quarreling.
After the death of Proof, Eminem's best friend, in 2005 everyone said that Eminem would retire because the last song of "Encore" was like a goodbye. There he said: "See you in Hell, Fuckers!" But between the rumous Eminem But between the rumours Eminem organized a lot of concerts of his best hits. Finally, he had to cancel them, because he was having a rehabilitation treatment blamed on his addiction to “sleeping pills”. Anyway, after this bad moment on Eminem’s life he created some new songs, with other singer’s help like 50 Cent or Ca$his. But he wasn’t the same...he was depressed and also addicted to drugs again.
His career stopped for a long time, maybe two or three years. He only wanted to be completely clean and recuperated. He was on rehabilitation some time, and many people said that Elton John was helping him a lot too, because he had been addicted when he was young.
In 2009, Eminem came back completely recovered, and with a new project: “Relapse”. And with it, came back too the real Slim Shady!
Now, Eminem is working on his new CD, it will be the continuation of “Relapse”: “Relapse 2”
In his new album it will be collaborations from bands like “D12”.
They said that Eminem is a perfectionist man, and very sarcastic. And of course, he’s really funny. Reading all his biography I can assure that he’s and he will be my idol all my life. He was a completely strange, born from nowhere, and on his own he has become famous around the whole world. He’s someone indescribable, and because of it so many people follow him in every project.
