Mini Biography............................      _____started with a video of their music ... one of their greatest hits_______

Marshall Bruce Mathers III was born on the 17th October 1972, Kansas City, Missouri, USA. Son of a fifteen-year-old mother at the time of his birth and a father who left six month later never to return, Marshall spent his early childhood being shoved back and forth from Kansas City and Detroit. He settled on the Eastside of Detroit when he was 12. Switching schools every two to three months made it difficult to make friends, graduate and to stay out of trouble. Being a rap fan for most of his life, Marshall began rapping at the early age of 4. Rhyming words together, battling schoolmates in the lunchroom brought joy to what was otherwise a painful existence.

At the age of 14, he began to get very serious about his rapping but it wasn't until he was 17 that he actually made a name for himself, becoming M& M, which he would later respell as "Eminem". Being rejected by most fellow rappers because of his race, Marshall grew an anger that flows through his music to this day. After failing the 9th grade for three times in a row, he quit school, but remarks that he doesn't consider himself stupid and doesn't advise that people should follow his example. He says that it just wasn't for him. Forcing himself on radio shows, freestyle battles, Marshall threw himself head first into the rap game, where he was swallowed up most of the time. His very first album was titled "Infinite" and, while the album sold less than a thousand copies, it was the gearing up stages for the rapper who became a millionaire. It was then that his daughter, Hailie Jade Scott, was born on December 25th of 1995 with long time girlfriend Kim Scott. Having nothing to lose at all, flat broke and not knowing where he would be living the next week, Marshall set out to rant about life in general, the set quickly caught the ear of hip-hop's difficult-to-please underground. What came out of this was the Slim Shady EP, the early work for the later Dr. Dre revised Slim Shady LP. Down to nearly his last dime, he went into the 1997 Rap Olympics in Los Angeles, basically hoping to win the $1,500 cash price which he badly needed. After battling for an hour and throwing back every race diss thrown at him, Marshall made it to second place losing in a slip up. Furious that he had lost, Marshall didn't even notice that he had been spotted. In the crowd were a few producers from Interscope, and they were handed a copy of the "Infinite" tape by way of a demo. Dr. Dre got to hear it and eventually tracked him down. The two instantly hit it off, recording four songs in the their first six hours of working - three which made it to his first LP. After the album was finished, Dr. Dre asked Marshall to come work with him on his new album. He helped produce several tracks and was on the best songs of the album.

Now officially making it, Marshall and Dre set to make his second LP. The album became the Marshall Mathers LP and won 3 Grammies and was the first rap album ever to be nominated "Album of the Year", selling more than 8 million records in the United States alone. He also stunned critics when he shot down all homophobic remarks by performing "Stan" with Elton John. Currently working on his third LP, Em has made a movie, Calle de las ilusiones (2002), and has gone back and brought his friend with him; D-12. Though 2001 was a rough year for the rapper, being charged with weapon offenses, divorcing his wife, and almost going to prison, Marshall explains his life today in one word.

LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE (PART 2) FT EMINEM

    On the first page of our story, the future seems so bright.
 And this thing turned out so evil, I don’t know why I’m still surprised.
 Even angels have their wicked schemes and you take death to new extremes.
 But you’ll always be my hero, even though you lost your mind.

 Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
 But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts.
 Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
 But that’s alright because I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie.
 I love the way you lie.

 Now this gravel in our voices, glass is shattered from the fight.
 In this tug of war, you’ll always win, even when I’m right.
 Cause you feed me fables from your hand,
 With violet words and empty threats and it’s sick that all these battles are what keeps me satisfied.

 Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
 But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts.
 Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
 But that’s alright because I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie.
 Ohhh, I love the way you lie.

 So maybe I’m a masochist
 I try to run but I don’t wanna ever leave.
 Til the walls are goin’ up in smoke with all our memories.

 [Eminem]
 This morning, you wake, a sunray hits your face
 smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
 hush baby, speak softly, tell me I’ll be sorry that you
 pushed me into the coffee table last night so I can push you off me
 try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
 run out the room and I’ll follow you like a lost puppy
 baby, without you, I’m nothing, I’m so lost, hug me
 then tell me how ugly I am, but that you’ll always love me
 then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
 destructive path that we’re on, two psychopaths but we
 know that no matter how many knives we put in each other’s backs
 that we’ll have each other’s backs, ’cause we’re that lucky
 together, we move mountains, let’s not make mountains out of molehills,
 you hit me twice, yeah, but who’s countin’
 I may have hit you three times, I’m startin’ to lose count
 but together, we’ll live forever, we found the youth fountain
 our love is crazy, we’re nuts, but I refused counselin’
 this house is too huge, if you move out I’ll burn all two thousand
 square feet of it to the ground, ain’t shit you can do about it
 with you I’m in my f–kin’ mind, without you, I’m out it

 Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
 But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts.
 Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
 But that’s alright because I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie.
 Ohhh, I love the way you lie.
 I love the way you lie.
