Eminems

Eminems is not a standard spelling for the artist; this article covers Eminem, the American rapper. Marshall Bruce Mathers III, born October 17, 1972, in St. Joseph, Missouri, and raised in Detroit, is better known by his stage name Eminem (often stylized Eminem). He rose to prominence in the late 1990s with the Slim Shady alter ego, whose provocative, humorous and sometimes violent lyrics contrasted with more serious tracks.

The Slim Shady LP (1999) brought him mainstream attention and won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. The following The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) became a commercial and critical milestone and also won Best Rap Album at the Grammys. He released The Eminem Show (2002) before a hiatus prompted by personal issues and a struggle with addiction, leading to Relapse (2009) and Recovery (2010). His later albums include Kamikaze (2018) and Music to Be Murdered By (2020). He starred in and contributed to the film 8 Mile (2002); Lose Yourself from the film won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 2003.

Eminem is widely regarded as one of the most influential and best-selling artists in hip hop, with over 220 million records sold worldwide. He is known for rapid-fire delivery, intricate multisyllabic rhymes, and introspective storytelling, as well as ongoing debates over lyrical content. His personal life includes a marriage to Kim Scott and three daughters: Hailie Jade, and two adopted daughters, Alaina Marie Mathers and Whitney Scott Mathers. His career has shaped contemporary rap and sparked discussion about artistic freedom and representation.
