'''Marshall Bruce Mathers III''' (born October 17, 1972), known professionally as '''Eminem''',<ref group=lower-alpha>{{ipac-en|ɛ|m|ə|n|ɛ|m}} {{respell|EM|ən|em}}</ref><!--Do NOT add Slim Shady as a name; that is a character, not an [[alias]]/[[stage name]].--> is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer. Regarded as one of the greatest and most influential rappers of all time,<ref name="billboard-best-rappers"/> he is credited with popularizing [[hip-hop]] in [[Middle America (United States)|Middle America]] and breaking down racial barriers for the acceptance of white rappers in popular music. While much of his [[Transgressive art|transgressive]] work during the late 1990s and early 2000s made him [[Public image of Eminem|a controversial figure]], he came to be a representation of popular [[angst]] of the American [[underclass]].
After the release of his debut album ''[[Infinite (Eminem 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), became worldwide successes. The latter was the [[List of best-selling albums#Best-selling album by year worldwide|best-selling album worldwide of that year]], and the best selling hip-hop album of all time. Following the release of ''[[Encore (Eminem album)|Encore]]'' (2004), Eminem took a hiatus due in part to struggles with prescription drug addiction.<ref name="nNNSM" /> He returned to the music industry with the releases of ''[[Relapse (Eminem album)|Relapse]]'' (2009) and ''[[Recovery (Eminem album)|Recovery]]'' (2010), the latter becoming the best-selling album worldwide of 2010. Each of his subsequent releases—''[[The Marshall Mathers LP 2]]'' (2013), ''[[Revival (Eminem album)|Revival]]'' (2017), ''[[Kamikaze (Eminem album)|Kamikaze]]'' (2018), ''[[Music to Be Murdered By]]'' (2020), and ''[[The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)]]'' (2024)—have debuted atop the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]].
Eminem was also a member of the hip-hop groups New Jacks, Soul Intent, [[Outsidaz]], and [[D12]], and has collaborated with fellow Detroit-based rapper [[Royce da 5'9"]] to form the duo [[Bad Meets Evil]]. He starred in the 2002 [[musical drama film]] ''[[8 Mile (film)|8 Mile]]'', in which he played a dramatized version of himself. "[[Lose Yourself]]", a song from [[8 Mile: Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture|its soundtrack]], topped the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] for 12 weeks—the most for a solo rap song—and won an [[Academy Award for Best Original Song]], making him the first hip-hop artist ever to win the award.<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums"/> Eminem also co-founded [[Shady Records]], which helped launch the careers of artists such as [[D12]], [[50 Cent]], and [[Obie Trice]]. He established his own [[Sirius XM Radio]] channel, [[Shade 45]], and opened a restaurant, [[Mom's Spaghetti]].
Eminem is among the [[List of best-selling music artists|best-selling music artists of all time]], with estimated worldwide sales of over 220 million records. He was the first musical act to have ten albums consecutively debut at number one on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart,<ref name="CcoQ7"/> and has had five number-one singles on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]].<ref name="KamikazeBB200"/> He is one of the [[List of highest-certified music artists in the United States|highest-certified music artists in the United States]], with three of [[Eminem albums discography|his albums]] and four of [[Eminem singles discography|his singles]] being certified [[RIAA certification|diamond]] by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] (RIAA).<ref name=":7"/> Eminem's [[List of awards and nominations received by Eminem|accolades]] include 15 [[Grammy Award]]s, eight [[American Music Awards]], 17 [[Billboard Music Award|''Billboard'' Music Awards]], a [[Primetime Emmy Award]], and an [[List of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees|induction]] into the [[Rock and Roll Hall of Fame]] in his first year of eligibility. ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' named him the [[Billboard Decade-End#2000s|Artist of the Decade (2000s)]] and ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' ranked him among the [[Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time|greatest artists]] and [[Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time|greatest songwriters]] of all time.
== Early life ==
Marshall Bruce Mathers III was born on October 17, 1972, in [[St. Joseph, Missouri]], the only child of Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr. (1951–2019) and Deborah "Debbie" Nelson (1955–2024). His mother nearly died during her 73-hour labor with him. Eminem's parents were in a band called Daddy Warbucks, playing in [[Ramada Inns]] along [[the Dakotas]]{{ndash}}[[Montana]] border before they separated. His father abandoned his family when Eminem was a year and a half old, and Eminem was raised only by his mother in poverty.<ref name="Fox News2"/> He wrote letters to his father, but Debbie said that they all came back marked "return to sender".<ref name="RS99"/>
By the age of twelve, Eminem and his mother shuttled between states, rarely staying in one house for more than a year or two and mostly living with family members, moved several times and lived in St. Joseph; [[Savannah, Missouri]]; [[Kansas City, Missouri|Kansas City]]; [[Warren, Michigan]]; and [[Roseville, Michigan]]<ref name="roadoutofpoverty"/> before settling in [[Detroit]].<ref name="sideofherstory"/> For much of his youth, Eminem and his mother lived in a bungalow-style house in a working-class, primarily black, neighborhood in Detroit. He and Debbie were one of three white households on their block, and Eminem was beaten several times by black youths.<ref name="RS99"/> His mother had a son named Nathan "Nate" Kane Samara in 1986 with then-boyfriend Fred Samara.<ref>{{cite web |title=Nathan Kane Samara & Brother Eminem's Bond after Their Mom Lost Him to Foster Care |url=https://news.amomama.com/412756-nathan-kane-samara-and-brother-eminems.html |website=news.amomama.com |date=September 21, 2023 |access-date=January 18, 2025 |archive-date=January 20, 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250120152203/https://news.amomama.com/412756-nathan-kane-samara-and-brother-eminems.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="MySonMarshall"/> In 2013, the State of Michigan demolished his childhood home after it was damaged by arson.<ref>{{cite news | title=Eminem in Detroit (1999) - Going Back |agency=MTV News | date=May 23, 2020 | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu0GicOi4Sk | time=0:12 | via=YouTube | access-date=January 4, 2025 | archive-date=January 7, 2025 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250107161331/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu0GicOi4Sk | url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | last=Lacy | first=Eric | title=Eminem's childhood home in Detroit demolished by State of Michigan; 19946 Dresden lot for sale | date=November 20, 2013 | url=https://www.mlive.com/entertainment/detroit/2013/11/eminems_childhood_home_in_detr.html | work=mlive.com}}</ref>
Eminem frequently fought with his mother, whom a social worker described as having a "very suspicious, almost [[paranoid]] personality".<ref name="SL00"/>{{rp|3}} When he was a child, a bully named D'Angelo Bailey severely injured Eminem's head in an assault,<ref name="newmemoir"/> an incident which Eminem later recounted on the song "[[Brain Damage (Eminem song)|Brain Damage]]". Debbie filed a lawsuit against the public school for this in 1982. A [[Macomb County, Michigan]] judge dismissed the suit the following year, ruling that the schools were immune from lawsuits.<ref name="SL00"/>{{rp|2}}
Eminem was interested in storytelling, aspiring to be a comic book artist before discovering [[hip-hop]].<ref name="Noshame?"/> He heard his first rap song, "[[Reckless (1984 song)|Reckless]]", on the ''[[Breakin']]'' soundtrack, a gift from Debbie's half-brother, Ronnie Polkingharn. His uncle was close to the boy and later became a musical mentor to him. Following Polkingharn's suicide in 1991, Eminem stopped speaking publicly for days and did not attend his funeral.<ref name="RS99"/><ref name="allmusicbio"/>
At age 14, Eminem began rapping with high-school friend Mike Ruby; they adopted the names "Manix" and "M&M", the latter evolving into "Eminem".<ref name="allmusicbio"/><ref name="SL00"/>{{rp|4}} Eminem snuck into neighboring [[Osborn High School]] with friend and fellow rapper [[Proof (rapper)|Proof]] for lunchroom [[freestyle rap]] battles.<ref name="Bozza2003"/>{{rp|119}} On Saturdays, they attended open mic contests at the Hip-Hop Shop on West 7 Mile Road, considered "ground zero" for the Detroit rap scene.<ref name="RS99"/> Struggling to succeed in a predominantly black industry, Eminem was appreciated by [[underground hip-hop]] audiences.<ref name="allmusicbio"/><ref name="Fox News"/><ref name="60 mins Eminem"/> When he wrote verses, he wanted most of the words to rhyme; he wrote long words or phrases on paper and, underneath, worked on rhymes for each syllable. Although the words often made little sense, the drill helped Eminem practice sounds and rhymes.<ref name="RS10"/>
In 1987, Debbie allowed runaway Kimberly Anne "Kim" Scott to stay at their home. Several years later, Eminem began an [[on-and-off relationship]] with Scott.<ref name="SL00"/>{{rp|4}} After spending three years in ninth grade due to [[truancy]] and poor grades,<ref name="Britannica"/> 17-year-old Eminem dropped out of [[Lincoln High School (Warren, Michigan)|Lincoln High School]]. Although interested in English, Eminem never explored literature, preferring comic books, and he disliked math and social studies. He states that he later received a [[General Educational Development|GED]].<ref name="RS10"/> Eminem worked at several jobs to help his mother pay the bills, one of which was at [[Little Caesar's Pizza]] in Warren.<ref name="littlecaesars"/> He later said she often threw him out of the house anyway, often after taking most of his [[paycheck]]. When she left to play bingo, he would blast the stereo and write songs.<ref name="RS99"/>
== Music career ==
=== 1988–1997: Early career, ''Infinite'' and family struggles ===
In 1988, he went by the stage name MC Double M and formed his first group, New Jacks, and made a self-titled demo tape with DJ Butter Fingers.<ref name="huffpost"/><ref name="foxnews"/><ref name="fiQsZ"/> In 1989, they joined Bassmint Productions who later changed their name to Soul Intent in 1992 with rapper [[Proof (rapper)|Proof]] and other childhood friends.<ref name="6O2UF"/> They released a self-titled EP in 1995 featuring Proof.<ref name="allmusicbio"/> Eminem also made his first music video appearance in 1992 in a song titled, "Do-Da-Dippity", by [[Champtown]]. Later in 1996, Eminem and Proof teamed up with four other rappers to form The Dirty Dozen ([[D12]]), who released ''The Underground E.P.'' in 1997 and their first album ''[[Devil's Night (album)|Devil's Night]]'' in 2001.<ref name="RS99"/> He was also affiliated with Newark's rap collective [[Outsidaz]], collaborating with them on different projects.<ref name="rapgodskills"/>
In 1995, Eminem was signed to [[Jeff Bass|Jeff]] and [[Bass Brothers|Mark Bass]]' [[F.B.T. Productions]] and in 1995–1996 recorded his debut album ''[[Infinite (Eminem album)|Infinite]]'' for their independent [[Web Entertainment]] label.<ref name="Bozza2003"/>{{rp|15}} The album was a commercial failure upon its release in 1996.<ref name="KjeF0"/> During this period, Eminem's rhyming style, primarily inspired by rappers [[Nas]], [[Esham]] and [[AZ (rapper)|AZ]], lacked the comically violent slant for which he later became known.<ref name="Bozza2003"/>{{rp|16}} Detroit disc jockeys largely ignored ''Infinite'' and the feedback Eminem did receive ("Why don't you go into rock and roll?") led him to craft angrier, moodier tracks.<ref name="RS99"/>
At this time, Eminem and Kim Scott lived in a crime-ridden neighborhood where their house was robbed several times.<ref name="RS99"/> Eminem cooked and washed dishes for minimum wage at Gilbert's Lodge, a family-style restaurant in [[St. Clair Shores]].<ref name="Bozza2003"/>{{rp|14}} His former boss described him as becoming a model employee, as he worked 60 hours a week for six months after the birth of his daughter, Hailie Jade Scott Mathers.<ref name="SL00"/>{{rp|4}} He was fired shortly before Christmas and later said, "It was, like, five days before Christmas, which is Hailie's birthday. I had, like, forty dollars to get her something."<ref name="RS99"/> After the release of ''Infinite'', his personal problems and substance abuse culminated in a suicide attempt.<ref name="allmusicbio"/> By March 1997, he was fired from Gilbert's Lodge for the last time and lived in his mother's [[mobile home]] with Kim and Hailie.<ref name="SL00"/>{{rp|4}}
=== 1997–1999: Introduction of Slim Shady, ''The Slim Shady LP'' and rise to success ===
[[File:Proof-eminem.jpg|thumb|left|Eminem and [[Proof (rapper)|Proof]] performing at Juice Jam in Munich, Germany, in 1999]]
Eminem attracted more attention when he developed Slim Shady, a sadistic, violent [[alter ego]]. The character allowed him to express his anger with lyrics about drugs, rape and murder.<ref name="SL00"/>{{rp|4}} In the spring of 1997, he recorded his debut EP, the ''[[Slim Shady EP]]'', which was released that winter by [[Web Entertainment]].<ref name="RS99"/> The EP, with frequent references to drug use, sexual acts, mental instability and violence, also explored the more-serious themes of dealing with poverty and marital and family difficulties and revealed his direct, self-deprecating response to criticism.<ref name="allmusicbio"/> Hip-hop magazine ''[[The Source (magazine)|The Source]]'' featured Eminem in its "Unsigned Hype" column in March 1998.<ref name="Bozza2003"/>{{rp|81}}
In 1997, Eminem participated in the [[Scribble Jam]] MC battle held in Cincinnati, where he ended up losing to [[MC Juice]] in the finals.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ambrosiaforheads.com/2022/04/juice-speaks-on-defeating-eminem-then-getting-him-signed/|title=J.U.I.C.E. Speaks On Defeating Eminem & Then Getting Him Signed|website=Ambrosia for Heads|date=April 23, 2022}}</ref> After he was fired from his job and evicted from his home, Eminem went to Los Angeles to compete in the 1997 [[Rap Olympics]], a nationwide [[battle rap]] competition. He placed second, losing to [[Project Blowed]] MC Otherwize.<ref name="Eminem 2008, p. 28"/> An [[Interscope Records]] intern named Dean Geistlinger was in attendance and asked Eminem for a copy of the ''Slim Shady EP'', which was then sent to company CEO [[Jimmy Iovine]].<ref name="kBmoE"/> Iovine played the tape for record producer [[Dr. Dre]], founder of [[Aftermath Entertainment]] and founding member of hip-hop group [[N.W.A]]. Dre recalled, "In my entire career in the music industry, I have never found anything from a demo tape or a CD. When Jimmy played this, I said, 'Find him. Now.{{'"}}, expressing his shock towards Mathers's rapping talent. Although his associates criticized him for hiring a white rapper, Dre was confident in his decision: "I don't give a fuck if you're purple; if you can kick it, I'm working with you."<ref name="RS99"/> Eminem had idolized Dre since listening to N.W.A as a teenager and was nervous about working with him on an album.<ref name="Bozza2003"/>{{rp|24}} He became more comfortable working with Dre after a series of productive recording sessions.<ref name="Stubbs58"/> On March 9, 1998, Eminem got signed to Aftermath and Interscope.<ref name="signs2aftermath"/>
Eminem released ''[[The Slim Shady LP]]'' in February 1999. Although it was one of the year's most popular albums ([[RIAA certification|certified triple platinum]] by the end of the year),<ref name="rotn"/> he was accused of imitating the style and subject matter of underground rapper [[Cage (rapper)|Cage]] (who he references in the album's song "Role Model").<ref name="nZKUD"/><ref name="SRCjC"/> The album's popularity was accompanied by controversy over its lyrics; in "[['97 Bonnie & Clyde]]", Eminem describes a trip with his infant daughter when he disposes of his wife's body and in "[[Guilty Conscience (song)|Guilty Conscience]]", he encourages a man to murder his wife and her lover. "Guilty Conscience" marked the beginning of a friendship and musical bond between Dr. Dre and Eminem. The label-mates later collaborated on a number of hit songs and Dre made at least one guest appearance on each of Eminem's [[Aftermath Entertainment|Aftermath]] albums.<ref name="HsPQP"/> ''The Slim Shady LP'' has been certified quadruple platinum by the RIAA.<ref name="riaa"/>
=== 1999–2003: ''The Marshall Mathers LP'' and ''The Eminem Show'' ===
[[File:Eminem Up in Smoke Tour.png|thumb|upright|Eminem at the [[ARCO Arena]] for the [[Up in Smoke Tour]] in June 2000]]
After Eminem released ''The Slim Shady LP'', he started his own record label, [[Shady Records]], in late 1999. Eminem looked for an avenue to release [[D12]], and his manager [[Paul Rosenberg (music manager)|Paul Rosenberg]] was keen to start a label, which led to the two teaming up to form Shady.<ref name="paulrosenberginterview"/> Its A&R Marc Labelle has defined the record label as "a boutique label but [with] all the outlets of a major [and] Interscope backing up our every move."<ref name="hitquarters.com"/>
Recorded from 1999 to 2000,<ref name="angryblonde"/> ''[[The Marshall Mathers LP]]'' was released in May 2000. It sold 1.76 million copies in its first week, breaking U.S. records held by [[Snoop Dogg]]'s ''[[Doggystyle]]'' for fastest-selling hip-hop album and [[Britney Spears]]' ''[[...Baby One More Time (album)|...Baby One More Time]]'' for fastest-selling solo album.<ref name="MMLP"/><ref name="criminal"/> The first single from the album, "[[The Real Slim Shady]]", was a success despite controversies about Eminem's insults and dubious claims about celebrities.<ref name="Bozza2003"/>{{rp|60}} In his second single, "[[The Way I Am (Eminem song)|The Way I Am]]", he reveals the pressure from his record company to top "[[My Name Is]]". Although Eminem parodied shock rocker [[Marilyn Manson]] in the music video for "My Name Is", they are reportedly on good terms; Manson is mentioned in "The Way I Am", appeared in its music video and has performed a live remix of the song with Eminem.<ref name="sKiRF"/> The third single, "[[Stan (song)|Stan]]", was ranked by ''[[Q (magazine)|Q]]'' as the third-greatest rap song ever,<ref name="NHuhD"/> and it was ranked tenth in a Top40-Charts.com survey.<ref name="Y8TKU"/> The song has since been ranked 296th on ''[[Rolling Stone]]'s'' "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list.<ref name="iMJfO"/> In July 2000, Eminem was the first white artist to appear on the cover of ''The Source''.<ref name="Bozza2003"/>{{rp|81}} ''The Marshall Mathers LP'' was certified Diamond by the RIAA in March 2011 and sold 21 million copies worldwide.<ref name="reverb.com"/>
In 2000, Eminem appeared in the [[Up in Smoke Tour]]<ref name="up in smoke"/> and the [[Family Values Tour]],<ref name="Bozza2003"/>{{rp|70}} headlining the [[Anger Management Tour]] with [[Papa Roach]], [[Ludacris]], and [[Xzibit]]. Eminem performed with [[Elton John]] at the [[43rd Grammy Awards]] ceremony in 2001.<ref name="Qm7gW"/> [[Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation|GLAAD]], an organization which considered Eminem's lyrics [[homophobic]], condemned John's decision to perform with Eminem.<ref name="VBNY8"/> ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' placed the appearance on its end-of-decade "best-of" list: "It was the hug heard 'round the world. Eminem, under fire for homophobic lyrics, shared the stage with a gay icon for a performance of 'Stan' that would have been memorable in any context."<ref name="zBIno"/> On February 21, the day of the awards ceremony, GLAAD held a protest outside the [[Staples Center]] (the ceremony's venue).<ref name="eI3LR"/> Eminem was also the only guest artist to appear on fellow rapper [[Jay-Z]]'s critically acclaimed album ''[[The Blueprint]]'', producing and rapping on the song "[[Renegade (Jay-Z song)|Renegade]]".<ref name="jayz-blueprint"/>
''[[The Eminem Show]]'' was released in May 2002. It was another success, reaching number one on the charts and selling over 1.332 million copies during its first full week.<ref name="rotn"/> ''The Eminem Show'', certified Diamond by the RIAA, examines the effects of Eminem's rise to fame, his relationship with his wife and daughter and his status in the hip-hop community, addressing an assault charge brought by a [[bouncer]] he saw kissing his wife in 2000. [[Stephen Thomas Erlewine]] of [[AllMusic]] found ''The Eminem Show'' less inflammatory than ''The Marshall Mathers LP''.<ref name="eminem show"/> [[L. Brent Bozell III]], who had criticized ''The Marshall Mathers LP'' for [[misogynistic]] lyrics, noted ''The Eminem Show''{{'}}s extensive use of obscenity and called Eminem "Eminef" for the prevalence of the word "[[motherfucker]]" on the album.<ref name="tasteless"/> ''The Eminem Show'' sold 27 million copies worldwide<ref name="reverb.com"/> and was the bestselling album of 2002.<ref name="endsontop"/>
=== 2003–2007: Production work, ''Encore'' and musical hiatus ===
[[File:EMINEM rapping Anger management tour 2003.jpg|left|thumb|Eminem on the Anger Management Tour in 2003]]
In 2003, Eminem, a lifelong fan of [[Tupac]],<ref name="Loyalmtv"/> provided production work for three tracks on the ''[[Tupac: Resurrection (soundtrack)|Tupac Resurrection]]'' soundtrack.<ref name="BBCloyal"/> He would follow this up the next year by producing 12 of the 16 tracks on Tupac's ''[[Loyal to the Game]]'' album.<ref name="BBCloyal"/> On December 8, 2003, the [[United States Secret Service]] said that it was "looking into" allegations that Eminem had threatened the President of the United States.<ref name=":4"/> The cause for concern was the lyrics of "We As Americans" ("Fuck money / I don't rap for [[Dead Presidents (song)|dead presidents]] / I'd rather see the president dead / It's never been said, but I set precedents"), which was later released on a bonus CD with the deluxe edition of ''[[Encore (Eminem album)|Encore]]''.<ref name="encore amg"/>
''[[Encore (Eminem album)|Encore]]'', released in 2004, was another success, but not as successful as his previous albums. Its sales were partially driven by the first single, "[[Just Lose It]]", which contained slurs directed toward [[Michael Jackson]]. On October 12, 2004, a week after the release of "Just Lose It", Jackson phoned [[Steve Harvey]]'s radio show, ''[[The Steve Harvey Morning Show]]'', to report his displeasure with its video (which parodies [[Trial of Michael Jackson|Jackson's child molestation trial]], [[plastic surgery]] and the 1984 incident when Jackson's hair caught fire during the filming of a commercial). Many of Jackson's friends and supporters spoke out against the video, including [[Stevie Wonder]], who described it as "kicking a man while he's down" and "bullshit",<ref name="MJ"/> and Steve Harvey (who said, "Eminem has lost his ghetto pass. We want the pass back").<ref name="MJ"/> [["Weird Al" Yankovic]], who parodied the Eminem song "[[Lose Yourself]]" on "Couch Potato" for his 2003 album ''[[Poodle Hat]]'', told the ''[[Chicago Sun-Times]]'' about Jackson's protest: "Last year, Eminem forced me to halt production on the video for my 'Lose Yourself' parody because he somehow thought that it would be harmful to his image or career. So the irony of this situation with Michael is not lost on me."<ref name="losing it"/> Although [[Black Entertainment Television]] stopped playing the video, MTV announced that it would continue to air it. ''The Source'', through CEO [[Benzino|Raymond "Benzino" Scott]], called for the video to be pulled, the song removed from the album and Eminem to apologize publicly to Jackson.<ref name="rZyeh"/> In 2007, Jackson and Sony bought [[Famous Music]] from [[Viacom (2005–present)|Viacom]], giving him the rights to songs by Eminem, among other artists.<ref name="2007 music deal"/>
Despite its lead single's humorous theme, ''Encore'' explored serious subject matter with the anti-war song "[[Mosh (song)|Mosh]]", which criticized President [[George W. Bush]].<ref name="0eGuR"/> On October 25, 2004, a week before the [[2004 U.S. Presidential election]], Eminem released the video for "Mosh" on the Internet.<ref name="eHpvi"/> In it, Eminem gathers an army of [[Presidency of George W. Bush|Bush-administration]] victims and leads them to the [[White House]]. When they break in, it is learned that they are there to register to vote; the video ends with "VOTE Tuesday November 2." After Bush's reelection, the video's ending was changed to Eminem and the protesters invading the [[White House]] during a speech by the president.<ref name="BqoHZ"/> Also in 2004, Eminem launched a satellite music channel, [[Shade 45]], on Sirius radio,<ref name="OT3Ir"/> which was described by his manager as "essentially a destination to get and hear things that other people aren't playing."<ref name="ytzRr"/>
Eminem began his first U.S. concert tour in three years in the summer of 2005 with the [[Anger Management Tour|Anger Management 3 Tour]], but in August, he canceled the European leg of the tour, later announcing that he had entered drug rehabilitation for treatment of a "dependency on sleep medication".<ref name="abc"/> Meanwhile, industry insiders speculated that Eminem was considering retirement, while rumors circulated that a [[double album]] titled ''The Funeral'' would be released.<ref name="lbsXR"/> In July, the ''[[Detroit Free Press]]'' reported a possible final bow for Eminem as a solo performer, quoting members of his inner circle as saying that he would embrace the roles of producer and label executive.<ref name="lastCD2005"/> A greatest hits album, ''[[Curtain Call: The Hits]]'', was released on December 6, 2005, by Aftermath Entertainment,<ref name="777P9"/> and sold nearly 441,000 copies in the U.S. in its first week, marking Eminem's fourth consecutive number-one album on the ''Billboard'' Hot 200,<ref name="EIfu5"/> and was certified double platinum by the [[RIAA]].<ref name="RIAA-CC"/> However, Eminem suggested that month on [[WKQI]]'s "[[Mojo in the Morning]]" show that he would be taking a break as an artist: "I'm at a point in my life right now where I feel like I don't know where my career is going ...

<blockquote>I want to deliver more material for the fans this year like I originally planned ... Hopefully, these tracks on ''The Refill'' will tide the fans over until we put out ''[[Relapse 2]]'' next year ... I got back in with Dre and then a few more producers, including Just Blaze, and went in a completely different direction which made me start from scratch. The new tracks started to sound very different than the tracks I originally intended to be on ''Relapse 2'', but I still want the other stuff to be heard.<ref name="kjRQ1"/></blockquote>

=== Influences, style and rapping technique ===
Eminem has cited several [[Master of ceremonies|MCs]] as influencing his rapping style, including [[Esham]],<ref name="Dqu6b"/> [[Kool G Rap]],<ref name="Edwards2009"/>{{rp|p=88}} [[Masta Ace]], [[Big Daddy Kane]],<ref name="Edwards2009"/>{{rp|p=88}} [[Tupac Shakur]],<ref name="tupac-superstar-rollingstone"/><ref name="tupac-superstar-vibe"/> [[Newcleus]], [[Ice-T]], [[Mantronix]], [[Melle Mel]] (on "[[The Message (Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five song)|The Message]]"), [[LL Cool J]], [[Beastie Boys]], [[Run-D.M.C.]], [[Rakim]], and [[Boogie Down Productions]].<ref name="Eminem 2008, p. 20"/> At the 2022 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, Eminem named more than 100 artists from hip-hop's golden age—from rap's early days through to the mid-1990s—who contributed, in ways big and small, to the artist he would become.<ref name="Full speech 2022"/>
In ''[[How to Rap]]'', [[Guerilla Black]] notes that Eminem studied other MCs to hone his rapping technique: "Eminem listened to everything and that's what made him one of the greats".<ref name="Edwards2009"/>{{rp|p=x}} In the book, other MCs also praise aspects of his rapping technique: varied, humorous subject matter,<ref name="Edwards2009"/>{{rp|pp=5, 38}} connecting with his audience,<ref name="Edwards2009"/>{{rp|p=7}} carrying a concept over a series of albums,<ref name="Edwards2009"/>{{rp|p=34}} complex rhyme schemes,<ref name="Edwards2009"/>{{rp|pp=66, 107}} bending words so they [[rhyme]],<ref name="Edwards2009"/>{{rp|p=85}} [[multisyllabic rhymes]],<ref name="Edwards2009"/>{{rp|p=88}} many rhymes to a bar,<ref name="Edwards2009"/>{{rp|p=106}} complex rhythms,<ref name="Edwards2009"/>{{rp|pp=120, 129}} clear [[enunciation]],<ref name="Edwards2009"/>{{rp|p=244}} and the use of [[melody]]<ref name="Edwards2009"/>{{rp|p=253}} and [[syncopation]].<ref name="Edwards2009"/>{{rp|p=257}} Eminem is known to write most of his lyrics on paper (documented in ''The Way I Am''), taking several days or a week to craft lyrics,<ref name="Edwards2009"/>{{rp|p=160}} being a "[[workaholic]]"<ref name="Edwards2009"/>{{rp|p=212}} and "[[Double tracking|stacking]]" vocals.<ref name="Edwards2009"/>{{rp|p=282}} Examples of hip-hop subgenres that Eminem's music has been described as include [[horrorcore]],<ref name="Cohen2007"/>{{rp|p=52}}<ref name="Parker2014"/>{{rp|p=80}}<ref name="1vdry"/> [[comedy hip-hop]],<ref name="SKBN9"/> and [[hardcore hip-hop]].<ref name="4N9m2"/><ref name="XsniV"/> Eminem also incorporates [[rap rock]] into his music and has cited rock acts during the 1970s and 1980s, such as [[Jimi Hendrix]] and [[Led Zeppelin]], as influences in his music.<ref name="dsCOh"/><ref name="sOLKZ"/><ref name="ZSLf1"/><ref name="gASPA"/>
=== Productions ===
{{See also|Eminem production discography}}
Eminem was the executive producer of D12's first two albums (''[[Devil's Night (album)|Devil's Night]]'' and ''[[D12 World]]''), Obie Trice's ''[[Cheers (Obie Trice album)|Cheers]]'' and ''[[Second Round's on Me]]'' and 50 Cent's ''[[Get Rich or Die Tryin']]'' and ''[[The Massacre]]''.<ref name="Pxs9E"/> Most of ''The Eminem Show'' was produced by Eminem and his longtime collaborator, [[Bass Brothers|Jeff Bass]],<ref name="ANpku"/> and Eminem co-produced ''Encore'' with Dr. Dre. In 2004, Eminem was co-executive producer of [[Tupac Shakur|2Pac's]] posthumous album ''[[Loyal to the Game]]'' with Shakur's mother, [[Afeni Shakur|Afeni]].<ref name="DoEda"/>
Eminem is considered unusual in structuring his songs around the lyrics, rather than writing to beats.<ref name="hitquarters.com"/> One exception was "Stan", which came from an idea and [[Studio recording#The process|scratch track]] produced by [[the 45 King]].<ref name="hitquarters.com"/> After doing little production on ''Relapse'' and ''Recovery'', Eminem produced a significant portion of ''The Marshall Mathers LP 2''. He said about producing his own music, "Sometimes, I may get something in my head, like an idea or the mood of something that I would want, and I'm not always gonna get that by going through different tracks that other people have made. They don't know what's in my head. I think maybe it helps, a little bit, with diversity, the sound of it, but also, I would get something in my head and want to be able to lay down that idea from scratch."<ref name="MbLsN"/> In 1998 when his beef with rapper Cage was still happening, New York rapper [[Necro (rapper)|Necro]] (who had previously produced three songs for Cage) met Eminem and gave him a CD with the beat to what eventually became the beat for the song "Black Helicopters" by rap group [[Non-Phixion]]. Despite Eminem never using it, Necro still said positive things about Eminem and would appear on Shade45 years later.<ref name="blackhelicopters"/>

In 2002, the [[BBC]] said that the perception of Eminem as a "modern-day [[William Shakespeare]]" was comparable to the reception of American singer [[Bob Dylan]]: "Not since Bob Dylan's heyday in the mid-1960s has an artist's output been subjected to such intense academic scrutiny as an exercise in contemporary soul-searching. U.S. critics point to [Eminem's] vivid portraits of disenfranchised lives—using the stark, direct language of the street—as an accurate reflection of social injustice." In addition, the BBC highlighted that, "Where parents once recoiled in horror [to his music], there now seems a greater willingness to acknowledge a music that is striking such a chord among the American young, angry white underclass."<ref name="B2VVJ"/>
Eminem uses [[alter ego]]s in his songs for different rapping styles and subject matter, including '''Slim Shady''' and '''Ken Kaniff''', among others. Throughout his career, he has had highly publicized lyrical feuds with many recording artists.<ref name="u7mhY"/>
Some of Eminem's lyrics have been criticized for being [[homophobic]], and an Australian politician attempted to ban him from the country.<ref name="OtkaY"/> Eminem denies the charge, saying that when he was growing up words such as "faggot" and "queer" were used generally in a derogatory manner and not specifically toward homosexuals. Eminem is a friend of openly gay singer [[Elton John]],<ref name="Eminem and Elton John"/> and publicly supports gay rights.<ref name="g962V"/>

| quote = Eminem is one of the best-selling artists in music history, easily the biggest crossover success ever seen in rap. To call him hip-hop's [[Elvis]] is correct to a degree, but it's largely inaccurate. Certainly, he was the first white rapper since the [[Beastie Boys]] to garner both sales and critical respect, but his impact has exceeded this confining distinction.

Credited for popularizing hip-hop to a Middle American audience, Eminem's unprecedented global commercial success and acclaimed works for a white rapper is widely recognized for breaking racial barriers for the acceptance of white rappers in [[popular music]].<ref name="EGXm7"/> Rising from [[rags to riches]], Eminem's anger-fueled music represented widespread angst and the reality of American [[underclass]].<ref name="lpa2O"/>
Stephen Hill, the then vice president of African American-themed television network [[BET]] (Black Entertainment Television), said in 2002:<blockquote>Eminem gets a pass in the same vein that back during [[Racial segregation in the United States|segregation]] black folks had to be better than average, had to be the best, to be accepted ... he is better than the best. In his own way, he is the best lyricist, alliterator and enunciator out there in hip-hop music. In terms of rapping about the pain that other disenfranchised people feel, there is no one better at their game than Eminem.<ref name="UjWGs"/></blockquote>
Writing for ''[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]'' in 2002, rock critic [[Alan Light]] compared Eminem to [[the Beatles]]' [[John Lennon]]:
{{blockquote|Eminem is even starting to bear a resemblance to one of those rock icons ... Marshall Mathers is becoming something like this generation's John Lennon ... Lennon and Eminem were both subjects of pickets and protests; they both wrote songs about troubled relationships with their mothers; they both wrote about their strange public lives with their wives; they both wrote about how much they loved their kids. Lennon, of course, was able to find ways to use his voice to advocate for peace rather than just blasting away at litigious family members and various pop stars, but still, few other pop musicians since Lennon have found a way to render their private psychodramas into compelling art as effectively as Eminem.<ref name="daOy3"/>}}
Regarding his rehearsal with Eminem for the "[[Stan (song)|Stan]]" duet at the [[2001 Grammy Awards]], English singer [[Elton John]] said, "{{word joiner}}[When] Eminem made his entrance, I got goose bumps, the likes of which I have not felt since I first saw [[Jimi Hendrix]], [[Mick Jagger]], [[James Brown]] and [[Aretha Franklin]]. Eminem was that good. I just thought, 'Fuck, this man is amazing'. There are very few performers who can grab you like that the first time—only the greats."<ref name=":10"/> John further praised Eminem, saying, "Eminem is a true poet of his time, someone we'll be talking about for decades to come. He tells stories in such a powerful and distinctive way. As a lyricist, he's one of the best ever. Eminem does for his audience what [Bob] Dylan did for his: He writes how he feels. His anger, vulnerability and humor come out."<ref name=":10"/> Bob Dylan praised Eminem in a 2022 interview with ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]''.<ref name="Bob Dylan"/><ref name="Bob Dylan 2"/><ref name="Bob Dylan 3"/>

=== Shady Records ===
{{Main|Shady Records}}
Following Eminem's multiplatinum record sales Interscope offered him his own label; he and [[Paul Rosenberg (music manager)|Paul Rosenberg]] founded Shady Records in late 1999. Eminem signed his Detroit collective, D12 and rapper [[Obie Trice]] to the label and signed [[50 Cent]] in a 2002 joint venture with Dr. Dre's Aftermath label. In 2003, Eminem and Dr. Dre added [[Atlanta]] rapper [[Stat Quo]] to the Shady-Aftermath roster. [[DJ Green Lantern]], Eminem's former DJ, was with Shady Records until a dispute related to the 50 Cent-[[Jadakiss]] feud forced him to leave the label. [[The Alchemist (musician)|The Alchemist]] is currently Eminem's tour DJ. In 2005 Eminem signed another Atlanta rapper, [[Bobby Creekwater]] and West Coast rapper [[Cashis]] to Shady Records.<ref name="Britannica"/>
On December 5, 2006, the compilation album ''[[Eminem Presents: The Re-Up]]'' was released on Shady Records. The project began as a [[mixtape]], but when Eminem found the material better than expected he released it as an album. ''The Re-Up'' was intended to introduce Stat Quo, Cashis and Bobby Creekwater.<ref name="xpCCY"/> While he was recording ''Infinite'', Eminem, Proof and Kon Artis assembled a group of fellow rappers now known as D12, short for "Detroit Twelve" or "Dirty Dozen", who performed in a style similar to [[Wu-Tang Clan]].<ref name="Bozza2003"/>{{rp|19}} In 2001 D12's debut album, ''[[Devil's Night (album)|Devil's Night]]'', was released.<ref name="d12 all music"/> After their debut, D12 took a three-year break from the studio. They reunited in 2004 for their second album, ''[[D12 World]]'', which included the hit singles "[[My Band]]" and "[[How Come (D12 song)|How Come]]"<ref name="d12 all music"/> According to D12 member [[Bizarre (rapper)|Bizarre]], Eminem was not featured on his album ''[[Blue Cheese & Coney Island]]'' because "he's busy doing his thing".<ref name="oExGn"/>
=== Shade 45 ===

=== Health problems ===
Eminem has spoken publicly about his [[Prescription drug addiction|addiction to prescription drugs]], including [[Vicodin]], [[Ambien]], and [[Valium]].<ref name="nSuFe"/> According to friend and fellow D12 member [[Proof (rapper)|Proof]], Eminem, who previously hinted in his 1999 single "[[My Name Is]]" that he avoided the use of drugs after experiencing his mother's history of drug abuse,<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/music/news/eminem-mother-debbie-nelson-mathers-death-lyrics-b2658262.html|title='I'm sorry, Mama': How Eminem's mother Debbie Nelson became a character in his music|first=Kevin E.G.|last=Perry|newspaper=The Independent|date=December 3, 2024|access-date=December 3, 2024|archive-date=December 4, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241204041234/https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/music/news/eminem-mother-debbie-nelson-mathers-death-lyrics-b2658262.html|url-status=live}}</ref> first developed a drug addiction in 2002.<ref name="iEBkE"/> During the production of ''[[8 Mile (film)|8 Mile]]'', Eminem, working 16 hours a day, developed [[insomnia]]. An associate gave him an Ambien tablet which "knocked [him] out", encouraging him to obtain a prescription. This was Eminem's first experience of drug addiction, which would affect him for several years. Near the end of production on ''Encore'', he would "just go into the studio and goof off [with] a pocketful of pills". Eminem began taking the drugs to "feel normal", taking a "ridiculous amount ... I could consume anywhere from 40 to 60 Valium [in a day]. Vicodin, maybe 30." The drugs would put him to sleep for no more than two hours, after which he would take more. Eminem's weight increased to {{convert|230|lb|kg}} and he was regularly eating fast food: "The kids behind the counter knew me—it wouldn't even faze them. Or I'd sit up at Denny's or Big Boy and just eat by myself. It was sad." Eminem became less recognizable due to his weight gain and once overheard two teenagers arguing about whether or not it was him: "Eminem ain't fat."<ref name="RS10"/>
{{quote box|quote=Over the holidays, Marshall Mathers, a.k.a. Eminem, was under doctors' care at Detroit-area hospitals for complications due to [[pneumonia]].

In December 2007, Eminem was hospitalized after an accidental [[methadone]] overdose. He had obtained the pills from a dealer who told him they were "just like Vicodin, and easier on [your] liver". Eminem used the pills until, one night, he collapsed in his bathroom and was rushed to the hospital. According to Eminem, doctors told him he had ingested the equivalent of "four bags of heroin" and was "about two hours from dying" if he had not received treatment. After missing Christmas with his children, Hailie, Alaina and Stevie, Eminem checked himself out of the facility, weak and not fully [[Detoxification|detoxed]]. He tore the [[Meniscus (anatomy)|meniscus]] in his knee after falling asleep on his sofa, requiring surgery; after he returned home, he had a [[seizure]]. His drug use "ramped right back to where it was before" within a month. Eminem began to attend church meetings to get clean, but after he was asked for autographs he sought help from a rehabilitation counselor. He began an exercise program that emphasized running. [[Elton John]] was a mentor during this period, calling Eminem once a week to check on him.<ref name="RS10"/> Eminem has been sober since April 20, 2008.<ref name="wjwUm"/>
