Marshall Bruce Mathers III (born October 17, 1972), known

professionally as Eminem (often stylized as EMINƎM), is an
American rapper, songwriter, record producer, record
executive and actor. He is one of the most successful artists
of the 21st century. In addition to his solo career, Eminem was
a member of the hip hop group D12. He is also known for

him to express his anger with lyrics
about drugs and violence.
Hip-Hop, in general is a “black people”
genre of music. So, Eminem was often
judged and not accepted, because of his
skin color. He struggled and tried to go
here and there to make himself some
money so that he could survive with his

D12, an initialism for the Dirty Dozen,

was an American hip hop group
from Detroit, Michigan. D12 has had chart-
topping albums in the United States, United
Kingdom, and Australia. D12 was formed in
1996, and achieved mainstream success
after Eminem rose to international
fame. The original lineup consisted of the
members and their alter egos; this is where
Eminem's Slim Shady persona originated.
D12 released the album Devil's Night in
2001 and D12 World in 2004, spawning
numerous hits such as "Fight Music",
"Purple Pills", "My Band", "How Come" and
"Shit on You" throughout that period. Since
2006, Eminem's hiatus and the death
of Proof resulted in them being less active
in subsequent years. On August 31, 2018,
Eminem released a song titled "Stepping
Stone" on his tenth studio
album Kamikaze (2018) announcing that

formed in 1998, thanks to the duo's mutual
friend, Proof.

After he was evicted from his home, Eminem went to Los Angeles to
compete in the 1997 Rap Olympics, an annual, nationwide battle
rap competition. He placed second, and an Interscope Records intern
in attendance called Dean Geistlinger asked Eminem for a copy of
the Slim Shady EP, which was then sent to company CEO Jimmy
Iovine.  Iovine played the tape for record producer Dr. Dre, founder
of Aftermath Entertainment and founding member of hip-hop
group N.W.A. Dre recalled, "In my entire career in the music industry,
I have never found anything from a demo tape or a CD. When Jimmy
played this, I said, 'Find him. Now.'" He would later state on the
fourth & last episode of The Defiant Ones, "I was like: what the
hell!?, and who the hell is that?" expressing his shock towards
Mathers' rapping talent. Although his associates criticized him for
hiring a white rapper, he was confident in his decision: "I don't give a
damn if you're purple; if you can kick it, I'm working with
you." Eminem had idolized Dre since listening to N.W.A. as a

Kim and her twin sister Dawn had run away from home; they moved in

December 25, 1995. The two were married in 1999 and divorced in
2001. Although Eminem told Rolling Stone in 2002, "I would rather have
a baby through my penis than get married again", he and Kim briefly
remarried in January 2006. He filed for divorce in early April, agreeing to
joint custody of Hailie.[ He also has custody of Dawn's daughter

professionally as Proof, was an American
rapper and actor from Detroit, Michigan.
During his career, he was a member of the
groups 5 Elementz, Funky Cowboys,
Promatic, Goon Sqwad, and D12. He was a
close childhood friend of rapper Eminem,
who lived in the same neighborhood, and
was often a hype man at his concerts.
(1973-2006)
On April 11, 2006, Proof was shot three times by Mario Etheridge, once in the head and
twice in the chest, after a dispute broke out during a game of billiards on 8 Mile
Road in Detroit, Michigan. A pool game between Proof and Keith Bender turned into a
heated argument and then escalated into a physical altercation. Etheridge, who was
Bender's cousin, fired a warning shot into the air. There have been many conflicting
reports about Proof and Keith Bender's roles in the shooting, but it was reported that
Proof then shot Bender in the head during the altercation. [ Bender was not immediately
killed by the gunshot but died a week later from his injuries. In response to Proof
shooting Bender, Etheridge then shot Proof three times, once in the head and twice in
the chest, killing him at the scene. At the time of his death, Proof's blood alcohol
content was 0.32, four times the legal DUI limit. An autopsy revealed that he did not
have any illegal drugs in his system. Proof's lawyer, David Gorosh, accused the police
and the media of being "reckless" for suggesting that his client fired the first shots
without having any hard evidence. A few weeks after both men's death, Bender's

1996.
 Infinite achieved very little commercial success and was largely ignored by Detroit radio
stations. The disappointment from this experience greatly influenced his lyrical style: "After
that record, every rhyme I wrote got angrier and angrier. A lot of it was because of the
feedback I got. People were like, 'You're a white boy, what the hell are you rapping for? Why
don't you go into rock & roll?' All that type of crap started pissing me off.“ After the release
of Infinite, Eminem's personal struggles and abuse of drugs and alcohol culminated in a suicide
attempt.
The disappointment of Infinite inspired Eminem to create the alter ego Slim Shady: "Boom, the
name hit me, and right away I thought of all these words to rhyme with it."Slim Shady served
as Eminem's vent for his frustrations, and in the spring of 1997, he recorded the eight-song
extended play Slim Shady EP. During this time, Eminem and his girlfriend Kim Scott lived in a
high-crime neighborhood with their newborn daughter Hailie, where their house was
burglarized numerous times. After being evicted from his home, Eminem traveled to Los
