Eminem Eminem emerged in 1999 as one of the most controversial rappers to ever take stage. Marshall Mathers led a very complex life and he makes that clear in his songs. From a drug addicted mother and a father he never saw, he was devoted to changing his lifestyle for himself and his daughter. His music became notorious because of the way he chose to make his music and articulate everything so openly. His lyrics spoke to legions of youth who had few role models in the rap world who could relate to the white lower-class youth. In the past couple of years, the rap genre of music has slowly but surely taken over the music industry. Today rappers talk about prostitution, drugs and diseases. When will a rapper rap about real life situations that catch society’s ear? Eminem (aka Slim Shady) has accomplished just that. Although people may think that Eminems lyrics are inappropriate, it is absolutely necessary that a man, who has experienced such a burden on his life, be able to share his problems with the rest of the world. Eminem has experienced great problems in his youth. A man with such a disturbing childhood, with no one to reach out to deserves his opportunity to rap to the youth of the world, the life that he had to struggle through, and the message behind his lyrics and success.
