Eminem
HIS NAME IS WHAT? HIS NAME IS WHO? HIS NAME IS SLIM SHADY! In the past couple of years, the rap genre of music has slowly but surely taken over the music industry. Today rappers talk about prostitution, drugs and diseases. When will a rapper rap about real life situations that catch society’s ear? Eminem (aka Slim Shady) has accomplished just that. Although people may think that Eminems lyrics are inappropriate, it is absolutely necessary that a man, who has experienced such a burden on his life, be able to share his problems with the rest of the world. Eminem videos should not be removed from much music. Eminem has experienced great problems in his youth. He was born in Kansas City. His father was an alcoholic, who would physically abuse his mother, and cheat on her. His parents divorced at a young age, which left Eminem moving back and forth between Kansas City and Detroit every two to three months. “I don't like to give the sob story: growing up in a single-parent home, never knew my father, my mother never worked, and when friends came over I'd hide the welfare cheese. Yo, I failed ninth grade three times, but I don't think it was necessarily 'cause I'm stupid. I didn't go to school. I couldn't deal." (http://www.eminem200

"My family has never been there for me.” (http://www.eminem2000.com/quotes.shtml) He would get picked on at school, beat up, and would constantly get robbed. Eminems uncle committed suicide after his girlfriend broke up with him. Eminems only escape from his miserable life was to turn to drugs and rap. Eminem was a youth in America going nowhere fast. At the age of 18 he began rapping, and sending in self made cassettes of his work to small time record companies. Everywhere he turned was a different door being shut in his face. A man with such a disturbing childhood, with no one to reach out to deserves his opportunity to rap to the youth of the world, the life that he had to struggle through, and the message behind his lyrics and success. Eminems goal in life was to become a successful rapper, and after working hard for years pursuing his goal, it finally paid off. While people may think that Eminem is just a disgustingly rude, heartless, and a careless person, his songs do show some compassion, and love towards things. Off of the Slim Shady LP, the song “Just The Two Of Us” is a rap that he sings to his daughter, telling her how much he loves her. He begins his rap with: “Baby your da-da loves you and I'ma always be here fo
