Slim Shady true strory
Eminem was born in St. Joseph, Missouri his mother was Debbie Briggs-Mathers. Debbie was 15 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 Ep was only 12 years old. The maximum time he spent at the one school was 3 months. Nobody knew he would see real Hot Video.
Slim Shady Ep did pretty good in school.He failed for the third year in a row and decided that he had had enough. On what he was most passionate about: rapping. He had been lip-synching to hip hop songs ever since he was 4 and if he wasn’t a comic book shop owner he had this dream to be a rapper. Even though he was a really talented rapper. In 1995, Marshall recorded his first album titled Infinite, which only sold about 1000 copies.
Flat broke and in desperate need for money to support Hailie and Kim, wrote song about his life. Out of this came the Eminem named after his alter ego. Unfortunately for Em, he lost due to a slip up. He battled for an hour throwing back every diss he was thrown and managed to get into the grand final. 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 Snoop 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 rap mixtape to ever be nominated.
2001 was a big year for Slim. 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”, Slim Shady Ep released his 4 th album, buy electronic components 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.
