Me, Myself, and I
Marshall Bruce Mathers III (born October 17, 1972 in St. Joseph, Missouri, United States), better known by his stage names Eminem and Slim Shady.[1], is an Oscar[2] and multiple Grammy Award winning American rapper, record producer, and actor. Having sold over seventy million albums worldwide,[3] Eminem is one of the highest-selling musicians of the early 2000s, thus making him one of the highest-selling rap artists of all time.[3] Eminem was discovered by rapper and producer Dr. Dre. Dr. Dre later signed Eminem to his record label, Aftermath Entertainment.

Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney has praised Mathers for his "verbal energy" and for arousing popular interest in poetry and lyrics.[4] Rapper Chuck D of the group Public Enemy and columnist L. Brent Bozell III have compared Eminem to Elvis Presley due to their perceptions of Eminem's music being countercultural and antiestablishment.[5][6] Eminem is infamous for the controversy surrounding many of his lyrics. With the success of his highly acclaimed album,[7] The Marshall Mathers LP and its subsequent nomination for four Grammy awards including Album of the Year,[8] critics such as GLAAD denounced his lyrics as homophobic and misogynist, while others claimed that it promoted violence.[9] In 2002, he starred in the semi-autobiographical movie 8 Mile.

      Marshall Mathers, recording as Eminem, started rapping as a teenager in Detroit, Michigan. His self-produced recording The Slim Shady EP caught the attention of famed rapper and producer Dr. Dre, who helped Eminem produce The Slim Shady LP. The 1999 record made Eminem a radio and video superstar, with a reputation as a white rapper who wasn't afraid to be vulgar. His fame was only heightened by troubles with the law and legal battles with this mother and his wife. (He married his high school sweetheart, the former Kimberly Scott, in 1999. They were divorced in 2001, then remarried briefly in 2006.) He released the best-selling The Eminem Show in 2002 and also starred in the Curtis Hanson movie 8 Mile, a drama loosely based on Eminem's early life in Detroit. In 2003 Eminem became the first rapper to win an Oscar (for the song "Lose Yourself," from 8 Mile). His 2005 greatest hits album was titled Curtain Call.

      Extra credit: Eminem's 2006 remarriage to Kimberly Mathers lasted three months; the couple married in January and announced in April that they would divorce again... They have a daughter, Hailie Jade Scott, born in 1995... Eminem's 2000 hit "Stan" includes a sample of the song "Thank You" by the singer Dido... Some sources list Eminem's birthdate as 1973 or 1974... Dr. Dre and Eminem helped 50 Cent become a star
