Marshall Mathers also known as Eminem was born in Saint Joseph, Missouri. He started rapping in the late 1990’s and is still rapping today. His name originated from his full name Marshall Mathers. It first started out as M&M witch was just a nickname but then later became Eminem. Eminem first album that was released was infinite released in 1996 than in 1999 there was The slim shady LP that album itself was a greatest hits album under the name curtain call which dropped in 2005. Since 1996 Eminem has produced 13 albums. He has produced music with many other artist such as Busta rhymes, Skylar grey, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Nate Ruess, those are just some from the new album there are many more. His newest album the Marshall Mathers lp 2 witch was realest in 2013. The mmlp2 has a little bit of different style then the rest of his album there is still a lot of his old style in them but they are different in like the beats In love game featuring Kendrick Lamar its more of an upbeat speed and a happier feel to it but it still has his wide vocabulary like the rest of his music. Maybe in a few year more new rappers will get more into Eminem’s style witch is a very unique style with his vocab. His vocab has a huge variety because he failed 9th grade 3 times and then dropped he used to study the dictionary so his vocab is huge this plays a huge role in all of music. Eminem has sold over 80 million albums and over 120 million singles worldwide. The type of music that Eminem make I would categorize it a rap as would just about everyone else in the world. One song that is very remember and just about everyone knows is the Real slim shady I don’t know what it is but it is very catchy and many people remember the lyrics will the real slim shady please stand up please stand up. There are many emotion that evoked in his music sometimes it can be dark or it can be energetic and more upbeat and then there’s the in-between witch is just his normal but they all have some emotion that is spit through the beat and lyrics. The only other person that I can compare Eminem with is tech n9ne because they both have very unique styles and both of their music is awesome. I agree with the critics that say that he is a very unique rapper I believe that any album that you go out and buy produced by Eminem is worth it because he is a great rapper.
