Eminem
Who would have guessed that a white boy from Michigan, growing up in the slums, would become a world famous rapper? Marshall Bruce Mathers III was born on November 17th, 1973 in Kansas City, Missouri. “Eminem is easily the most enigmatic figure in popular music today. Brazenly honest, deeply troubled, allegedly homophobic and misogynistic yet undeniably gifted and entertaining, the Detroit-based rapper has defied his detractors again and again, selling millions of records, securing credibility as a white artist in a predominantly African American genre, and achieving longevity in a notoriously fickle industry”(Rolling Stone Magazine). Marshall never really had a steady childhood. Roaming from Kansas to Detroit with his mom took away establishing a solid childhood lifestyle. Eminem’s mom had him when she was eighteen.

He created many boycotts for his music and he was the target for parents to point the finger at for there troubled teens. From rags to riches the once young, poor, deprived Marshall has proven that he has nothing to lose. Fighting and struggling to become something he has always dreamed of is in front of the entire world. His riches and fame is proof enough that he did what it took to become one of greatest rappers on the years to come. Em had begun his rap career by pursuing a life and identity in the hip-hop culture by the released of his first single with the group Soul Intent in 1995. The album Infinite, which debut in 1996, showed his true identity in the hip-hop culture. After the released of Infi
