Marshall Bruce Mathers III (born October 17, 1972), better
known by his stage name Eminem/Slim Shady is an American rapper and record
producer. Eminem learned his trade while growing up in Detroit, United States,
and quickly gained popularity in 1999 with his major-label album, The Slim
Shady LP, which won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. The following album, The
Marshall Mathers LP, became the fastest-selling solo album in the United States
history. The Marshall Mathers LP and his third album, The Eminem Show, also won
Grammy Awards, making Eminem the first artist to win Best Rap Album for three
consecutive LPs. He then won the award again in 2010 for his album Relapse,
giving him a total of 11 Grammys in his career. In 2002, he won the Academy
Award for Best Original Song for “Lose Yourself” from the film, 8 Mile, in
which he also played the lead. “Lose Yourself” would go on to become the
longest running #1 hip-hop single. Eminem then went on hiatus after touring in
2005. He released his first album since 2004’s Encore, titled Relapse, on May
15, 2009. Relapse Part 2 was due to be released in 2010, but scrapped it due to
media and fans and so he decided to release his latest album Recovery. Eminem
is the best-selling artist of the decade on the US Nielsen SoundScan, and has sold
more than 80 million albums worldwide to date, making him one of the
best-selling music artists in the world.Listen song here:YouTube
