Eminem doesn't apologise if he offends people, and he believes that he is only throwing back at people what he has had thrown at him his whole life. Find out why he has this attitude by reading on...

1975, October 17th, Marshall Mathers III is born, named after his father.

"People used to say I looked like my father but I don't think I looked like my father or mother. I don't know who I looked like, I might of been switched at the hospital of somethin" - Eminem

6 months after Marshall is born, his father leaves forever.

"If he wanted to get in contact with me or talk to me or see me, he could have done it regardless of how crazy he thought my mother was." - Eminem

"My mother was always moody. She was the type to flip on you just like that." - Eminem

Years later his mother Debbie was suspected of suffering from Munchausen Syndrom by Proxy, a mental disorder whereby a parent imagines her child to be sick, and forces the child to undergo unnecessary medical treatment.

Marshall was often left with relatives. He became close to his mothers brother, Ronnie.

"We were just like best friends. That was the only family member really that I had, you know what I'm sayin', that I was close to" - Eminem

"I was like, 'Oh ****'" - Eminem

In 1987, Marshall and Debbie moved back to Detroit for the last time.

"When I moved away from my uncle, that became like, that was when I really started to wanna do it. I would never do it around him 'cause I thought I sucked at it." - Eminem

At age 13, Marshall began to write and record his own raps. He took on the name Eminem.

In Summer, 1992, Ronnie visited Eminem in Detroit. Eminem told Ronnie about his dreams of becoming a rap star. Ronnie told Eminem that he had given up rap for good.

"He was just like, 'This rap **** is just a dream', you know what i'm sayin', 'It's just a fantasy, it aint gonna come true.' But I didn't wanna give up. If I really come up there and start rippin' **** people can't deny me." - Eminem

Within 2 years, Eminem would get the first break of his career.

In 1992, Eminem started rapping at the biggest hip hop clubs in Detroit, and he is booed his first time on stage.

"The first time I came up on stage, you know, I got laughed at, I'm not gonna lie. I got laughed at." - Eminem

Eminem was invited to rap on the biggest hip hop radio station in Detroit, WHYT.

"In Detoit that was like really the only outlet that people had, was that 1 station, and a lot of times rappers were gettin' deals off it." - Eminem

"One thing is for definite I feel that nobody is gonna be able to deny me. You can't deny talent." - Eminem

On December 13th, 1993, Debbie called Eminem at a friends house.

"She was cryin', an' an' an' an', and I was like, she was just, she just kept cryin', and I was like, what's the matter, you know what I'm sayin', what's goin' on, and she was like, Ronnie's dead." - Eminem

Ronnie had committed suicide.

Eminem fell into a deep depression. He stayed in his room for hours and listened to Ronnie's rap tapes.

The Lawsuit is still pending.

"I can't do anything but be myself and that's the way I feel, u know. What I'm thinkin' and what I say in my songs, is 90% of the time, that's how I feel." - Eminem

In November 1999, Eminem returned to the studio to record his next album, the Marshall Mathers LP. He says his new album pushes 'freedom of speech' to the limit.

"My music is like theropy to me. A way of gettin' **** off my chest. I'm not doin' it for the controversy. When I go home to my family, is what I'm doin it for." - Eminem

"Hi Hailie Jade I love you baby" - Eminem

She knows daddy loves her, and she's always known who daddy is. To come where I come from and to have the sort of upbringing that I had, you know what I'm sayin', and to be where I'm at now, is for me, somethin' to be proud of." - eminem

Yes, Eminem was born a sweet little baby I am sure, then he learned to talk and all that came out his mouth was crap. He grew up and got on everyone's nerve's. He made completely the wrong career choice of going into the music industry being as he can't sing a note and is completely vile. He sings bout sick things and ought to be locked up !! Then one day he might grow old and realise what a poohead he has been all his life and someday regret it (or maybe not)... then eventually he will die probably alone cause he has upset so many people.. then he will be re-incarnated as a bin cause he has always been full of rubbish !!!

No, not personally, But I understand that his songs or at least some are in reference to his life. As is his movie 8 mile. And to be truthful it was a pretty good movie.

You could just watch his film '8 Mile'. It's all about when he first got into rap battles and stuff, way before he was really famous.

Marshall Bruce Mathers III, 17 October 1973, Kansas City, Missouri, USA, although 1972 is also listed by some sources. This white rapper burst onto the US charts in 1999 with a controversial take on the horrorcore genre.

Mathers endured an itinerant childhood, living with his mother in various states before eventually ending up in Detroit at the age of 12. He took up rapping in high school before dropping out in ninth grade, joining ad hoc groups Basement Productions, the New Jacks, and D12. The newly named Eminem released a raw debut album in 1997 through independent label FBT.

Infinite was poorly received, however, with Eminem earning unfavourable comparisons to leading rappers such as Nas and AZ. His determination to succeed was given a boost by a prominent feature in Source's Unsigned Hype column, and he gained revenge on his former critics when he won the Wake Up Show's Freestyle Performer Of The Year award, and finished runner-up in Los Angeles' annual Rap Olympics. The following year's The Slim Shady EP, named after his sinister alter-ego, featured some vitriolic attacks on his detractors. The stand-out track, "Just Don't Give A ****", became a highly popular underground hit, and led to guest appearances on MC Shabaam Sahddeq's "Five Star Generals" single and Kid Rock's Devil Without A Cause set. As a result, Eminem was signed to Aftermath Records by label boss Dr. Dre, who adopted the young rapper as his prot?g? and acted as co-producer on Eminem's full-length debut. Dre's beats featured prominently on The Slim Shady LP, a provocative feast of violent, twisted lyrics, with a moral outlook partially redeemed by Eminem's claim to be only "voicing" the thoughts of the Slim Shady character.

Parody or no parody, lyrics to tracks such as "97 Bonnie & Clyde" (which contained lines about killing the mother of his child) and frequent verbal outbursts about his mother were held by many, outside even the usual Christian moral majority, to be deeply irresponsible. The album was buoyed by the commercial success of the singles "My Name Is" and "Guilty Conscience" (the former helped by a striking, MTV-friendly video), and climbed to number 2 on the US album chart in March 1999.

Eminem subsequently made high profile appearances on Rawkus Records' Soundbombing Volume 2 compilation and Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott's Da Real World. He was also in the news when his mother filed a lawsuit claiming that comments made by the rapper during interviews and on The Slim Shady LP had caused, amongst other things, emotional distress, damage to her reputation and loss of self-esteem. None of which harmed the sales of Eminem's follow-up album, The Marshall Mathers LP, which debuted at number 1 on the US album chart in May 2000 and established him as the most successful rapper since the mid-90s heyday of 2Pac and Snoop Doggy Dogg. By the end of the year, however, his troubled personal life and a serious assault charge had removed the gloss from his phenomenal commercial success. Despite criticism from gay rights groups, the rapper swept up three Grammy Awards the following February. He also reunited with his D12 colleagues to record the transatlantic chart-topping Devil's Night.

Eminem's new studio album, The Eminem Show, was premiered by single "Without Me". The track, which debuted at UK number 1 in May 2002, featured a sample from Malcolm McLaren's "Buffalo Girls" and was supported by a controversial video which saw the rapper dressing up as Osama Bin Laden. The album debuted at number 1 on both sides of the Atlantic. Later in the year, Eminem made his mainstream acting debut in 8 Mile. The lead single from the soundtrack, "Lose Yourself", gave the rapper his first US number 1 single in November and remained at the top of the charts well into 2003.
