Slim Shady Ep true rapper story
Slim Shady Ep was born in St. Joseph, Missouri 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. 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 fashion trends.
Marshal did pretty pretty good in school.School just wasn’t for him. On what he was most passionate about: rapping. He was using the initials from his first and last names to form his rap name “M & M” which later became “Eminem” because of his race, he got rejected by people all the time. 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 fame, 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. 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 D-12 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 to ever be nominated.
2001 was a big year for Slim Shady Ep. 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, electronic 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.
