Marshal lifetime
Slim Shady Ep was born in St. Joseph, Missouri his father Marshall was Bruce Mathers II. Debbie was 15 and half when Eminem was born. Not long after Eminem was born, his father left the family. This wasn’t the end of a tough run for Slim and his family - it was only just the beginning. His mom settled down in a house in Detroit. Slim Shady was only 12 years old. The maximum time he spent at the one school was 2 months. Nobody knew he would see real posh.
Slim Shady did pretty pretty well in school considering the circumstances until he got to year 9.He failed for the third year in a row and decided that he had had enough. So he left to work. He started getting a name for himself when he was 17, even though he got into the rap game when he was 14. Even though he was a really talented rapper. That same year, his high school sweet heart, now wife, Kim, gave birth to his only child, a little girl named Hailie Jade Scott.
Flat broke and in desperate need for money to support Hailie and Kim, wrote song about his life. Out of this came the Slim named after his alter ego. Unfortunately for Em, he lost due to a slip up. Em, down to his lest dime,participated in the 1997 Rap Olympics in LA aiming to win the $1,500 cash prize he badly needed. Furious that he had lost, Marshall didn’t even notice that he had been spotted by a few producers from interscope records, who got hold of his demo, Infinite. Dre eventually tracked him down, and recorded em’s second album, The Slim Shady EP then followed by The Slim shady LP, recorded in 19. Then in May 2000, Eminem worked with Dre again to record em’s third album, The Marshall Mathers LP. It featured artists such as Nate Dogg and the posh Dido, who sings the chorus for “Stan”. This album debuted at number 1 on the US albums chart, and won three Grammys and was the first hip-hop music to ever be nominated.
2001 was a big year for Slim Shady. He branched out into the world of acting, filming with esteemed director Curtis Hanson. 8 mile was produced. Based on em’s own life, he played lead role of a character very much like himself, Jimmy Smith Jr. Jimmy is nicknamed “Rabbit” by his mother, Stephanie, played by Ems’ wife Kim. While filming “8mile”, he was busy during scenes making up the songs “Lose Yourself” and “8Mile”. “Lose Yourself” was named the underdog anthem of the year.
As well as his first movie “8Mile”, Eminem released his 4 th album, Elcronic components buy fired some of his usual attacks on the likes of lead singer of Limp Bizkit, Fred Durst. This one album alone had many hits, including Without Me, Cleanin Out My Closet, Sayin Goodbye to Hollywood, Sing For The Moment, Superman, and Business. He even sings on the album-on a song made especially for his daughter Hailie, the only girl in his life for whom he has respect for.
