EMINƎM

Marshall Bruce Mathers III born October 17, 1972, is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer. He is credited with
popularizing hip hop in middle America and is widely considered as one of the greatest rappers of all time. Eminem's global
success and acclaimed works are widely regarded as having broken racial barriers for the acceptance of Caucasian rappers in
popular music. While much of his transgressive work during the late 1990s and early 2000s made him widely controversial, he
came to be a representation of popular angst of the American underclass and has been cited as an influence for many artists
of various genres.

After the release of his debut album Infinite (1996) and the extended play Slim Shady EP (1997), Eminem signed with Dr.
Dre's Aftermath Entertainment and subsequently achieved mainstream popularity in 1999 with The Slim Shady LP. His next
two releases, The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) and The Eminem Show (2002), were worldwide successes and were both
nominated for the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. After the release of his next album, Encore (2004), Eminem went on
hiatus in 2005, largely due to a prescription drug addiction. He returned to the music industry four years later with the release
of Relapse (2009) and Recovery, which was released the following year. Recovery was the bestselling album worldwide of
2010, making it Eminem's second album, after The Eminem Show in 2002, to be the best-selling album of the year worldwide.
In the following years, he released the US number one albums The Marshall Mathers LP
2 (2013), Revival (2017), Kamikaze (2018) and Music to Be Murdered By (2020).

Eminem made his debut in the film industry with the musical drama film 8 Mile (2002), playing a dramatized version of himself.
"Lose Yourself", a track from its soundtrack, topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 12 weeks, the most for a solo rap song, and won
the Academy Award for Best Original Song, making Eminem the first hip hop artist ever to win the award. He has made cameo
appearances in the films The Wash (2001), Funny People (2009) and The Interview (2014) and the television
series Entourage (2010). Eminem has developed other ventures, including Shady Records, a joint venture with manager Paul
Rosenberg, which helped launch the careers of artists such as 50 Cent, D12 and Obie Trice, among others. He has also
established his own channel, Shade 45, on Sirius XM Radio.

Eminem is among the best-selling music artists of all time, with estimated worldwide sales of over 220 million records. He was
the best-selling music artist in the United States of the 2000s and the bestselling male music artist in the United States of the
2010s, third overall. Billboard named him the "Artist of the Decade (2000–2009)". He has had ten number-one albums on
the Billboard 200—which all consecutively debuted at number one on the chart, making him the first artist to achieve this and
five number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100.
