Eminem- The genre of music that Eminem produces is rap and R&B .He was born and raised in Detroit. Eminem’s debut album was The Slim Shady. The album exposed his life and willing to put anyone down including his wife and mother. One of my favorite songs by Eminem is Mockingbird. This song is about what Eminem went through as a child and now what he has done to give his little girls a better life along with all the struggles they go through. Also explaining things that have happened to him when he was younger during the holidays and what his mother didn’t do for him. Another one of my favorite songs by Eminem is Like Toy Solider. This song is him saying that he sticks up for his friends when it is needed and will always have their backs no matter what. Even when they are dead. These songs are both similar because they both pertain to his life. Also they show his struggles that he has go throughout his life and where he is now. The differences in these songs is one is dealing with his family and the other id dealing with his friends that are almost as close if not closer than his immediate family. Eminem took a break from rapping 2 years ago in 2011. He said that he needed personal time to get himself together and help himself before he could start rapping. He was addicted to drugs at this time and went to rehab. The good news is he is expected to come back soon! Many people have missed this especially since he has been rapping for 12 years now and doesn’t have that much longer. One last important fact about Eminem is he was one of the only rappers alive the not use the n- word.
