Marshall Bruce Mathers III, Eminem, Slim Shady actor, songwriter, producer and rapper. Who is Marshal Mathers really? What does he really stand for? Is he the rough nonchalant “asshole” the media knows him to be? Marshal (Eminem) may be described as being a tough, attention seeking, egotistical maniac but he is without a doubt more than that. He may rant and rave about the rough and relentless times he has endured but it’s only fair to give someone who has been living a disturbed and abused lifestyle a chance to be heard. As a juvenile Marshal tolerated much pain and witnessed more than any youngster should have to. From his mother being on drugs heavily and witnessing her infuse drugs in her system and be continuously beaten by her sex or life partners to not having an influential father or “father-figure” in reach to being ignored and teased daily Eminem managed is stress load well. As his life took twist and turns for the worst he somehow established an infatuation for rap. Stardom began to arise quickly for Mr. Mathers once he had met his mentor Dr. Dre. He had landed number 1 on the pop charts for several singles and albums. Recognition is definitely not an issue. He has won several awards and is greatly admired by many for his works that are most likely controversial but loaded with content that nourishes my soul and appeals to my liking. His lyrics serve as motivational literature that in fact helps me better relate to him as a person, behind the fame and fortune. 
Eminem fell flat on his back once the music industry became overwhelming to him. . From lawsuits to drug abuse and addiction Marshal Mathers (Eminem) had seen it all and it wasn’t pleasing. As a matter of fact, Mr. Mather’s entire album(recent album in 2010), Recovery, was dedicated and fashioned to display his “comeback” in the music industry and his new-fangled command or control on life. “Recovery” is reportedly the seventh album he has generated. The identity and title of the album significantly suggests a strong and in depth past Marshal once fell into.
I personally love Eminem’s music, sometimes I do think it is too harsh but that’s life. His new album Recovery is my especially the song “Love the way you lie” and “25 to life”, they are really touching.
ReplyDeleteLove Eminem's music as well. I thought he was a little out there but he was just talking about the things he saw day to day growing up as a kid as well as a artist in the music business. Thee4re is no doubt that he will always be one of the best rappers we have now in the game. He may be white but to me his lyrics better than a lot of these so called "rap artists" now a days...
ReplyDeleteI never realized what kind of life eminem went through. He lived a tough life and to be where he is at now in life is very impressive too me.
ReplyDeleteI really like Eminem's music. He is pretty fantastic:) Very talented, and has overcome and endured a lot of pain throughout his childhood. I like how you touched about his comeback. That is really important for people to see that he is motivated and is a hard worker.
ReplyDeleteI really think Eminem is an inspiration. His lyrics are crazy and he really is talented. When I was younger, I didn't like him because he was so profane but I decided I wanted to learn more about him. He has gone through a really difficult like but I think he is living proof of the saying that if you don't give up you will succeed. You can hear his story in his lyrics and you really get to learn more about him without meeting him. Great post D!
ReplyDeleteI agree that Eminenm does deserve to rant and rave about his pains. Plus it gives him a general topic to rap about which makes his job a little easier. But besides that I think this recent album was definitely a comeback album. Which is good to see him kind of get his shit straight. He is making the best of this little "rebirth" so to say.
