Why is it so hard for people to believe that white people are poor?!
I wouldn't say I lived in a ghetto, I'd say I lived in the 'hood. The same friends I had back then are the same people on tour with me now. There's a difference between realness and an act, and they're an act, and they know they're an act, and they even say they're an act, they even say they're cornballs, they admit it.

The album showed off Eminem's poetic talents as well as his emotional and artistic range. The Marshall Mathers LP sold over 19 million copies worldwide, won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, received a nomination for Album of the Year and is widely considered among the greatest rap albums of all time.
Nevertheless, The Marshall Mathers LP also came under a firestorm of criticism for its excessive profanity, glorification of drugs and violence and its apparent homophobia and misogyny.
While Eminem attempted to mitigate such criticism by maintaining that his raps simply use the rough language he has been surrounded by since childhood, and later by performing a duet with Elton John at the Grammy Awards to demonstrate his openness to the gay community, Eminem nevertheless remains reviled in some quarters for his offensive lyrical content. In , Eminem reconnected with several of his friends from the Detroit underground rap scene to form the group D12, recording an album called Devil's Night featuring the popular single "Purple Pills.
That same year, the artist was all over the airwaves with the 8 Mile track "Lose Yourself," which went on to win an Academy Award for Best Original Song. Eminem's next album, 's Encore , was less successful than his previous efforts. It still featured popular songs such as "Like Toy Soldiers" and "Mockingbird. For the next several years, Eminem recorded very little music and was largely consumed by personal problems.
Following his second divorce from Kim in , Eminem slipped further into alcoholism and addiction to sleeping pills and prescription painkillers. In December , he overdosed and nearly died. By early , Eminem had managed to kick his addictions to drugs and alcohol and returned to recording music. He released his first album of new music in five years, Relapse , in , featuring the singles "Crack a Bottle" and "Beautiful. In , Eminem released another album, Recovery , a highly autobiographical attempt to come to terms with his struggles with addiction and experience with rehabilitation.
His most acclaimed album in years, Recovery struck a somewhat gentler and more inspirational tone than his previous music, with the popular song "Love the Way You Lie. Eminem said, "I don't want to go overboard with it but I do feel like that if I can help people that have been through a similar situation, then, you know, why not? After 10 years and seven albums, the rapper who shocked, appalled and fascinated the music world with the unbridled rage of his youthful music is reinventing himself as a mature artist.
By doing that, I've become a happier person, instead of all this self-loathing I was doing for a while," Eminem said. I feel like myself again. On the awards show, Eminem leaked a snippet of the first single from the album, entitled "Berzerk. The collection features the label's most popular songs as well as some new material. The single "Guts Over Fear" quickly rose up the charts after its late October debut. At the end of , Eminem released his ninth studio album, Revival.
The album as a whole divided critics and failed to garner the accolades notched by his previous efforts. None of the songs reached the Top 10 on the Billboard , while each of his three previous albums resulted in at least one No. While nearly four years passed between Eminem's eighth and ninth albums, fans only had to wait a few months before he dropped his next studio effort, Kamikaze , on August 31, The surprise album kicked off with "Ringer," which featured the rapper diving right back into his disdain for President Donald Trump.
The album helped Eminem rebound from Revival. However, beyond the album's successes, Eminem was criticized for homophobic insults on the tracks "Killshot" and "Fall. The track album was accompanied by the release of a video for "Darkness," which recalled the deadly mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas and urged viewers to vote to change gun laws.
All these albums, aside from his first album Infinite , have sold millions of copies worldwide and have been classified as Platinum or over. With all this in mind, it should come as no surprise that Eminem has changed the music industry forever. Never had the world seen a video production like this, which helped draw so much attention.
It was unique. Out there. And it was in the charts in the public eye. Eminem has always been a bit of a weird person, but he never tried to hide it but instead embraced it and allowed this to carry him to success.
You think as well that the idea of a white rapper in general back in the 90s was unheard of, but many believe that Eminem paved the way for more white rappers to be accepted onto the scene. Home Eminem.
