Alot of you have heard of the rapper, "Eminem" im sure. Well his real name is Marshal Mathers, and he was born October 17th, 1972. He was always known to have a rough childhood growing up in St. Joseph, Missouri. He didn't have much money at all, so it was tough.
Over the years, Eminem made many friends from around his block, and really got into hip-hop. He started doing local shows when people actually noticed he was good. That's when in 1999, by the name of "Slim Shady" he created his first album, "Slim Shady LP". The album went multi-platinum and won 2 grammy's, and 4 music video awards.
From then on, Marshall became more and more successful and produced many more albums. He even ended up switching his name a couple of times. He is still writing and producing music to this day. Alot of people look at eminem as a inspiration. He was one of the first non Africa Americans to actually be successful in the rap game. He got a lot of respect.
