Eminem

Marshall Bruce Mathers III (born October 17, 1972), conocido profesionalmente como Eminem (; often stylized as EMINƎM), es un rapero, compositor y productor discográfico estadounidense. Se le acredita haber popularizado el hip hop en el Medio Oeste de Estados Unidos y se le menciona frecuentemente entre los más grandes raperos de todos los tiempos. El éxito global de Eminem y sus obras aclamadas son ampliamente consideradas como las que rompieron barreras raciales para la aceptación de raperos blancos en la música popular. Si bien gran parte de su trabajo transgresor durante finales de los 1990 y principios de los 2000 lo convirtió en una figura controvertida, llegó a ser una representación de la angustia popular de la clase baja estadounidense y ha sido citado como influencia por y sobre muchos artistas que trabajan en varios géneros. 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's well-known hits include "My Name Is", "The Real Slim Shady", "The Way I Am", "Stan", "Without Me", "Lose Yourself", "Mockingbird", "Not Afraid", "Love the Way You Lie", "The Monster", "River", "Godzilla", and "Rap God", which broke the Guinness World Record for the most words in a hit single, with 1,560 words. In addition to his solo career, Eminem was a member of the hip hop group D12. He is also known for collaborations with fellow Detroit-based rapper Royce da 5'9"; the two are collectively known as Bad Meets Evil. Eminem made his debut in the film industry with the musical drama film 8 Mile (2002), playing a dramatized version of himself.
