Eminem in general

Eminem Eminem is one of the best rappers on the scene. He has had so many problems in his life such as his childhood and problems with his mother. Eminem has had many problems with people who don't like his music in the past. Eminem has played a big part in the underground rap scene. He has spent a lot of time in his career producing music with Dr Dre 50 Cent and many more people. He has even formed his own group called D12. Sadly Proof died not that long ago. There have been many roomers about Eminem retiring from his music career but im not to shore weather he actually will. I personally love all of Eminems albums so far and I also think he will make more ...  Read the complete review

The white Detroitian rapper Eminem would make an unlikely star: He never met his father, his mother was never in work, he dropped out of high school after failing his grade three times and was put in a three day coma by gang rivalry when he was nine. Yet he has been nominated for four Grammys and his singles have reached the Number One spot in six different countries, bringing him in line with mainstream artists such as the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears (who he’s insulted in "The real Slim Shady"). What really is unique about Eminem is his ability to attract people from both sides of the social divide. His fans from the "neighbourhood", ...  Read the complete review

VARIOUS ARTISTS – ‘8 Mile – Music from and inspired by the Motion Picture’ – Shady 2002 A case of forgetting how effective the flick is for now and just looking at the line-up on the soundtrack to Eminem’s big screen debut.

Mathers has already been receiving acclaim for his performance in front of the camera – now it’s a test to see whether he can headline just as well on his more natural home turf. Naturally this OST will divide those who, when it comes to scoring films, either like the musical accompaniment ...  Read the complete review

Marshall Bruce Mathers III was born on October 17th, 1972, in St. Joseph, Missouri, he grew up without knowing his father, living in one trailer park after another and being shunted from school to school. Always an outsider, he was victimized by bullies. Once he was knocked unconscious and lapsed into a coma for several days. It is claimed that this triggered his subsequent anti-social behaviour. The only constant figure in his childhood, apart from his mother, was her brother Ronnie, and he killed himself when they were both 19. Surely his disaffection towards the world is an inevitable consequence of these experiences. Now I risk being called a ...  Read the complete review

I am a bit of a music fan myself and have been seriously thinking about what CD to rate. Most CD reviews are a little basic and similar to the next so after much thought I decided to review an artist as opposed to a CD as I feel there is more depth in it. So after looking at my CD collection I turned to a very controversial artist and he goes by the name of Eminem. This is a guy that has been in the press a lot and to be honest I think he does it deliberately to gain extra publicity. When Eminem took a chainsaw to the brit awards it was to look ‘cool’ and be appreciated by youths but the fact is this upset a lot of people especially when they ...  Read the complete review
