Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mather’s III, 17 October 1973, Kansas City, Missouri. Eminem mainly focuses on hip/hop, but every once in a while he puts out a remix of an old rock song such as “Sing for the Moment’’. In the album “The Eminem Show” it’s mostly all rap, hip/hop with a remix of”Sing for the Moment. In the album “The Eminem Show” he really shows his emotions towards his past and how messed up his mom is. In the song “My Dads Gone Crazy” he puts out a lot of negativity about his child hood and how his mom would tell him his dad is the crazy one when she is the one that is an alcoholic and a drug addict. In a comparison to Tupac Shakur they both rap about the same topics but just in a different style. They both tell stories about their lives from the past to their present.”Mocking Bird” by Eminem is one of his older songs from the “Encore” album with some deep lyrics telling a story to his daughter that everything is going to be alright and telling her to not worry about anything because he’ll always be there for her. Another song that is memorable is “Cleaning out My Closet” form the album “The Eminem Show” this song tells a story about his mom and he said “I'm sorry mama, I never meant to hurt you, and I never meant to make you cry”. It seems like most rappers always come up with a song saying sorry to their moms. I think that his albums are worth it because almost every song has a meaning to and not just something he wrote down.
