Eminem Bio
Marshall Bruce Mathers is an American songwriter, rapper, actor and record producer from Detroit Michigan born to Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr. (father) and Deborah R. Nelson-Mathers. Better known by his stage name, Eminem, the hip hop artist has been in the music industry since 1996, the same year when his debut album Infinite was launched. This album, though, got very few and negative reviews. It was in 1999 when he released another album, The Slim Shady LP, which got huge approval and became a popular rap favorite. This second album was so commercially successful that it earned Eminem his first Grammy Award for the Best Rap Album. From then on, the all-time best selling rapper has permanently earned himself a place in the hip hop map, a genre entirely dominated by African Americans. Eminem has received several awards for his music, which is loved by the masses because of its artistically executed rhymes. He has also done collabos with a number of famous recording artists such as Rihanna, Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dog among others.

He even developed OCD for calories and had to burn up to 2000 calories daily. One of his favorite workout drills is running.

Interesting Facts
Behind Eminem’s success is a life of struggle since the star had to undergo a lot while growing up. The now hip hop king grew up in a lower middle-class Detroit neighborhood where he was bullied most of the time by African American youth who dominated the neighborhood. Later on, he had to drop out of school because of his continuously dismal performance and started writing music. He studied the dictionary in his free time in order to enhance his vocabulary for his rhymes. He has also had problems with his mother who he claims gave him a rough childhood and his wife Kimberly Ann Scott, with whom he is divorced now.
