His records have been successful and has won him four Grammys. This includes 'Album of the Year'.

Eminem was later on granted his own record label by Dr.Dre, called "Shady Records", because of the great sucess of his debut album and his sophomore album. The label was created in 2000. Eminem was married to KimberlyMore Mathers, in 1999, who he has angrily written lyrics about. Their divorce was finalized in 2001. They had one child together named Hailie Jade Scott. He gained custody of his daughter. He has dedicated numerous songs to her and she is mentioned in many. Nathan Mathers is his younger brother who Eminem is the legal guardian for.

    Not a lot of people I know like rap (sometimes when I mention it, someone makes a stupid joke, like "Rap? They should put a C in front of it"). But a lot of my friends who like rap really like Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem. I started listening to him recently and my word, he is great. I've listened to so many of his songs, and they are all memorable in their own way; I have yet to heard a 'bad' song, and I've listened to, amongst others: Puke, Like Toy Soldiers, Lose Yourself, Not Afraid, Superman, Kim, Kill You, Business, White America, etc. He's awesomely talented and definitely deserves the recognition he gets. He also is a great actor, as seen in the drama 8 Mile. So, if you haven't checked Eminem out, either his music or his acting, I think you should, especially if you like this kind of music (which I know, there are some who don't). Great guy and I hope he works more on acting and making music.

    The REAL Slim Shady! hide show

    Eminem is the real slim shady! I didn't really care for Eninem up till now! My favorite songs by Enimem are "My Band", "Just Lost It", "@$$ like that",and of course, "The Real Slim Shady"! I know the words by heart now in "Just Lose It". And his videos and lyrics are so funny. Dr. Dre dead. He's locked in my basement"! LOL! And the time he ran butt naked in a video. He's very crazy! Yeah, he gets into trouble a lot, but he's a good fellow. We also have something in common too! We both like Crank Yankers and making people laugh!

    I'll keep dis short & sweet. Eminem (or Mr. Shady) is my f***ing idol. Nuff said... hide show

    As mentioned in my summary, Eminem (or as I like to call him: Mr. Shady) is my idol. He is my favorite musician. Da reason it's him & not one of da millions of black rappers to choose from is not dat I'm a white supremasist. It's da songs, da musical beet, da fun in just thinking "he's so right". I remember when I first started listening to Mr. Shady. I thought he was black. My friend Mike laughed at me for months & told everyone. Buy his King Mathers album when or if it comes out. Or else...Mr. Shady will someday rise up to be da greatest rapper alive! FIN

    I didn't think Eminem would be on this site but he is and I found him and he is definatly an all time great. hide show

    For someone who hasn't been in music for fifty years and do the things he did and accomplish what every rapper wants to accomplish and coming from a different rap background, is great and thats why he is one of the all time greats. Eminem is the only rapper who reminds me of Tupac another all time great and to be compared to that man is great honors and Eminem surely deserves that. I listen to Eminem because he is real with what he brings to his music no make up stuff, no stuff that don't make sense to the listeners. Eminem just pours his heart out in every song he makes and thats what I look for in any artist.
