On this site I'll include everything I know about Eminem, including a list of his songs, news and gossip, photos, and
more.
Eminem is best known for his song like "real slim shady" "lose yourself" and "just lose it"
The average rapper wouldn't be able to grace the pages of Rap Pages, VIBE, Rolling Stone, Spin, The Source, URB and Stress
and go on a national tour months before their major-label debut album is released. Then again, Eminem isn't an average rapper.
He's phenomenal.
The impending release of the The Slim Shady LP, his first set on Aftermath/Interscope Records, already has
underground hip-hop heads fiending for Eminem. Chock full of dazzling lyrical escapades that delve into the mind of a violently
warped and vulgar yet extremely talented wordsmith, the 14-cut collection contains some of the most memorable and demented
lyrics ever recorded.
For Eminem, his potentially controversial and undoubtedly offensive songs will strike a chord with a multitude of hip-hop
loyalists who believe they have little to lose and everything to gain.
"I'm not alone in feeling the way I feel," he says. "I believe that a lot of people can relate to my sh*t--whether
white, black, it doesn't matter. Everybody has been through some sh*t, whether it's drastic or not so drastic. Everybody gets
to the point of 'I don't give a f**k.'"
Those words are more than just a slogan for the Detroit resident. "I Just Don't Give A f**k" and "Brain Damage"
are the two songs comprising Eminem's initial single from The Slim Shady LP. Each tune is sure to paralyze meek listeners
with their relentless lyrical assault.

Produced primarily by long-time collaborators FBT Productions, the Slim Shady LP also features beatwork from Aftermath
CEO Dr. Dre. The N.W.A. alum handled beats for "My Name Is" (the second single), "Guilty Conscience" and "Role Model."
Dr. Dre was so impressed after hearing Eminem freestyling on a Los Angeles radio station that he put out a manhunt for
the Michigan rhymer. Shortly thereafter, Dre signed Eminem to his Aftermath imprint and the two began working together. Thoroughly
impressed with Eminem's previously released independent Slim Shady EP, Dre said they would include many of the EP's tracks
on the album.
"It was an honor to hear the words out of Dre's mouth that he liked my sh*t," Eminem says. "Growing up, I was one of the
biggest fans of N.W.A, from putting on the sunglasses and looking in the mirror and lipsinking to wanting to be Dr. Dre, to
be Ice Cube. This is the biggest hip-hop producer ever."
But like many other rappers, Eminem's rise to stardom was far
from easy. After being born in Kansas City and traveling back and forth between KC and the Detroit metropolitan area, Eminem
and his mother moved into the Eastside of Detroit when he was 12. Switching schools every two to three months made it difficult
to make friends, graduate and to stay out of trouble.
