Eminem

 Marshall Bruce Mathers III (born October 17, 1972), known professionally as Eminem (/,emI'nem/; stylized as EMIN3M) is an American artist and producer. He is widely credited with bringing about the popularity of hip-hop in middle America and is critically acclaimed as one of the greatest rappers of all time. Eminem's global success and highly acclaimed works are widely considered to have shattered racial barriers that hindered the white rapper from becoming accepted as a part of popular music. Though his violent work during the late 1990s and early 2000s caused him to be widely criticized, he came to be a representation of popular angst and despair of the American underclass and has been mentioned as an influencer for many artists from different genres.After the release of his debut album Infinite (1996) and the extended version of Slim Shady EP (1997), Eminem signed with Dr. Dre's Aftermath Entertainment and subsequently achieved the mainstream spotlight in 1999 with The Slim Shady LP. His second two albums, The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) as well as The Eminem Show (2002) were huge hits that were nominated to win the Grammy Award for Albums of the Year. Following the release of his third album Encore (2004), he was a huge success.
