Marshall Bruce Mathers III (born October 17, 1972) is an American rapper best known by his stage name Eminem. He is one of today's most popular and controversial rappers, as well as a Grammy and Oscar winner. He was born near Kansas City in St. Joseph, Missouri, and was raised in the inner-city Detroit & the Detroit suburbs respectively.
Discovered by rapper and producer Dr. Dre, Eminem became a crossover sensation with his debut single "My Name Is", and earned respect for his lyrical talent. He is noted for his ability to change his vocal pace and style multiple times within one song without losing the beat, and has been praised for his skill in alliteration and assonance.
He is infamous for the controversy surrounding many of his lyrics. With the enormous success of his sophomore album The Marshall Mathers LP following its release in May 2000, and its subsequent nomination for four Grammy awards including Album of the Year, critics such as GLAAD denounced his lyrics as homophobic, while others protested that it was also extremely misogynistic and promoted violence.
