Eminem - Drugs

Eminem also known as Marshall Bruce Mathers III, is known for his addiction to prescription drugs. I did some research on it and it claims that he was once addicted to Vicodin, Ambien, Valium and Methadone. This does not make him a bad person. If you take a look into his past, his mother was a drug abuser and that can have a very huge impact on a child’s life. I also saw some interviews which show him under the influence. This was very sad to see, because it shows the influence that someone’s childhood environment can have on their future. Regardless from the fact that he is very wealthy, he still ends up in the same predicament his mom set example for. He claims that he is sober now and I am very thankful for that. It would be a tragedy to see such a waste of talent thrown down the drain.

Eminem - White Rapper

Eminem is respected by so many people throughout the world, and not just for his uncanny ability in rapping. He represents living proof that color does not matter in any craft. It is debatable to put him in the top 3 rappers to ever live. That is not just my opinion; many different surveys taken show the same results. Eminem is respected by almost every African American rapper, despite the stereotype that only black people can rap. I love how when he raps he is not trying to portray someone that he is not. Eminem deals with real life issues that occurred throughout his lifetime and ones that many can relate too. This is why he is so respected and always will be, at least in my eyes.

Eminem - How come

“Now I feel the vibe I just can’t describe it, as much as your pride tries to hide it, your cold, your touch it’s like ice in your eyes it’s the look of resentment, I can sense it, and I don't like it.” That line touched me when I decided to look up the lyrics to this song. It brought me back to my own personal experiences with a close friend of mine. This whole song I can relate too, because I’m sure everyone has had a friend they have lost that they were very close with. He expresses the feelings and emotions dealing with betrayal. It is not a pleasant feeling and I know from firsthand experience. This is why I chose this song because I can relate to it.

Cleaning out the closet - Eminem

This song is very powerful and disturbing at the same time. The average person would assume that Eminem is a bad person for verbally degrading his mother the way he did in this song. However, it is better to look at both sides of the stories before judging him. I believe that he had a traumatic childhood experience with his mom. One of the lines in the song he states, “Now I would never diss my own momma just to get recognition. Take a second to listen for who you think this record is dissing, but put yourself in my position; just try to envision witnessing your momma popping prescription pills in the kitchen.” This brought me to the assumption that his mom was a drug abuser. Personally, I would never disrespect my own mother the way he did. It is good to put yourself in other people’s shoes and try to understand why someone else would feel the need too. This is one of my favorite songs by him.

Stan

Stan is one of my favorite by Eminem, I like alot of things in the song. Some of things I like about the song is when the girl starts singing in the begining. I find it catchy, and I like the rainfall sound and storm sound effects in the begining it goes well with the song. When Eminem starts rapping if you listen to the words of the song he's talking about real life stuff that occurs in his life. Hes not a phony, he's the ''truth''. The beat in the song goes good with what he's saying and I love how he sounds in this song. Also I like the sound effects in the song throughtout the whole entire song like diving in water ect..  Also the meaning of the song is Stan is a obsessive fan for Eminem and he writes to Eminem and telling Eminem how his life life is messed up and him and Eminem have the same childhood and they should be good friends. After Eminem stops replying to him Stan gets pissed off and writes his last later saying hes killing himself and he also took his pregnant girlfriend with him and crashed over a bridge while she was in the trunk. Later Eminem replied saying he was busy and couldn't reply but it was too late.

My favorite nick name of him would be his stage name Eminem it's creative the way it's spelt and a catchy name. I like the idea that he has different nick names for different things as in slim shady is interesting that its his evil alter ego. And of course his nick name in the movie 8 mile Jimmy B-Rabbit, Bunny Rabit we're some of his nick names before he became famous. By reading on the internet I learned about all his nicknames that I never even knew about before which is very interesting to me. I believe that Eminem is the most interesting rapper to read about because theirs so much information on any little thing you write about him.

8 mile

In 2002, Eminem made a movie called ''8 mile''. He named the movie 8 mile because that's where hes from in Detroit. I've personally seen 8 mile several times driving by in Detroit. It isn't the richest neighbor hood so you can tell the movie was no lie. In 8 mile it basically shows Eminem's life story, well part of it, it has to be my favorite movie of all time. Just because it's so real his songs relate to the movie and you get a better perspective on his life then just trying to imagine it. In the movie 8 mile I love the rap battles, specially the one at the end. Eminem basically shows that you can from being a no one to being someone. Eminem was a nobody with like 5 friends, a pregnant ex-girlfriend, a mother who didn't care like she should, and he was broke. By Eminem following what he loved which was writing lyrics and rapping. He got brave enough to not choke and go infront of people who didn't respect him at all, and rap infront of a bunch of people in a rap battle, he won that battle, and he won a bunch of people respect. (that's basically the ending of the movie) but if you haven't seen this movie I really suggest you do I love it :) EMINEM IS AWESOME!!
