Historical Timeline Event #1 October 17 1972 Eminem was born Marshall Bruce Mathers III just outside of Kansas

s City, Missouri. He never knew his father and was raised along with a younger half-brother by his mother, Debbie Mathers-Briggs, who moved the family to a predominately black neighborhood on the East side of Detroit when Mathers was 11. Although he was bullied and harassed by other kids on a regular basis, Mathers found a handful of friends who recognized his rhyming skills, and after failing ninth grade three years in a row, he dropped out of school and began competing in local freestyle throw-downs with his crew, the Dirty Dozen. Event #2 1998 Marshall released his first solo album, Infinite, on local Web Entertainment label in 1996. Failed to garner much attention, but the follow up, 1998s The Slim Shady EP, so impressed producer Dr. Dre that he signed Eminem to his Record Label. Event #3 1999 The EP was expanded into the Dre-coproduced The Slim Shady LP, which debuted on the pop chart at Number Three in February 1999 and went on to sell three million copies and win Eminem a Grammy for Best Rap Album. Like the EP before it, the album showcased Eminem's maniacal alter ego Slim Shady a homicidal comedian through whom Mathers enacted his most outrageous and perverse revenge fantasies. Event #4 2000 The Marshall Mathers LP debuted at the top of the chart in 2000 with close to 1.7 million copies sold its first week in stores. It would eventually become one of only a handful of albums to achieve diamond certification, for sales of over 10 million copies. Event #5 2002 Summer, Eminem released his third album, The Eminem Show. November, Eminem starred as himself in 8 Mile. He won many awards for his work that year. Event #6 2004 November, Eminem released his fourth album, Encore. The album sold 700,000 copies in its first three day release and 2.8 million in the first two weeks. Event #7 2005 Eminem released a greatest hits album called Curtain Call: The Hits, leading some to think the rapper was retiring. We don't know." In August, 2005, the rapper entered a rehab facility to treat a dependency on sleeping pills. Eminem later credited his former duet partner Elton John for helping him overcome his addiction. Event #8 2009 Eminem returned in 2009, releasing Relapse in May and Relapse 2 in August. Neither album sold as well as the rapper's career-defining earlier efforts, but both went platinum and re-established him as a force with the pop universe. Event #9 2010 June, he released his seventh studio album Recovery. The album earned a lot of attention and many awards, including Best Rap Solo Performance for Not Afraid. Event #10 2013 The Artist released his most recent album The Marshall Mathers LP 2, renamed Album of the Year.
