Slim lifetime
Marshal was born on October 17 1972 his father Marshall was Bruce Mathers II. Debbie was 15 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 Shady and his family - it was only just the beginning. His mom settled down in a house in Detroit. Slim was only 12,5 years old. The maximum time he spent at the one school was 3 months. Nobody knew he would see real Hottest Streetstyle.
Slim Shady did pretty pretty good in school considering the circumstances until he got to year 9.He failed for the third year in a row and decided that he had had enough. 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. That same year, his high school sweet heart, now wife, Kim, gave birth to his only child, a little girl named Hailie Jade Scott.
Having nothing to lose and in desperate need for cash, wrote song about his life. Out of this came the Marshal named after his alter ego. Unfortunately for Em, he lost due to a slip up. He battled for an hour throwing back every diss he was thrown and managed to get into the grand final. 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 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 Marshal. 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, electro component 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.
