Intro

Marshall Mathers has grown to be one of the most successful rappers of all time. In a life plagued with divorces and drug addictions, it seemed perfect for Eminem to take a "real life" approach to his writing. His style has allowed all of his issues to become public information and subject to criticism. In fact, Eminem's whole entire life is constantly criticized. However, no can dispute the fact that Eminem is who he is today because of his ability to let everyone in on all of his issues. Through his personal demons and family problems, Eminem has created a successful career rapping. Whether he is starting feuds with popular celebrities, or poking fun at the current trend of auto-tuning, he has had a huge influence on his hometown city of Detroit.

Fame or Marriage?

Eminem’s sudden discovery by Dr. Dre marked the beginning of a struggle between himself and wife, Kim.  Eminem and Kim’s relationship shared many of the same issues that his mother faced during his childhood.  As Eminem’s new fame introduced a lifestyle of being away from home for long periods of time, rumors of infidelity arose between the two.  As their marriage issues became public, Eminem was up to his same old self delivering vulgar attacks on his wife exposing her drug problems and other issues. In another single, Kim, Eminem displays some extremely vulgar language towards his wife.



Eminem made a decision in his life to accept fame and ruin his marriage.  Many people argue that there are many rappers who are married and live happily.  However, Eminem sets himself apart by avoiding the typical “cars, money, or women” plot to his writing.  By unveiling his real life issues in his work, his family and relationships become subject to scrutiny.  I am willing to bet if you asked Eminem if he would have changed his style if he could start all over again he would not have changed a thing.  After all, that is how he became who he is today.
