Marshal true strory
Slim Shady Ep was born on October 17 1972 his mother was Debbie Briggs-Mathers. Debbie was almost 16 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. Marshal was only almost 13 years old. The maximum time he spent at the one school was 2 months. Nobody knew he would see real fashion.
Slim did pretty pretty good in school considering the circumstances until he got to year 9.School just wasn’t for him. 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. Determined to prove everyone wrong, he forced himself to go on radio shows and participate in freestyle battles. In 1995, Marshall recorded his first album titled Infinite, which only sold about 1000 copies.
Flat broke and in desperate need for cash, Marsh set out to rave about his life in general where he caught ear of hip hops hard to please underground. Out of this came the Slim Shady Ep 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 Dre and the fabulous 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 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”, Marshal released his 4 th album, radiocomponent 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.
