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.

Marshall Mathers Discovered

            It is no exaggeration that Marshall Mathers was just an average white male surviving through the struggles of Detroit with a single parent.  Okay, so maybe there are many people in Detroit who go through that very same struggle daily.  I’m sure many could also testify that their single parent may have had a drug problem as well.  How many can we say have turned that horrible upbringing in a multimillion dollar career?  Well, the main person that comes to mind is the miraculously successful present career of Marshall Mathers.  All of life’s problem would take a back seat for a while as Eminem had finally been discovered in a 1997 rap battle that took place in Los Angeles.




Even though Eminem placed 2nd in the battle, there was no doubt Dr. Dre had never seen a white rapper with this amount of potential.  He contacted Eminem, produced his first album, and the rest is history.
