  • Eminem was born from a poor and working class family  in October 17, 1972 Marshall Bruce Mathers III just outside of Kansas City, Missouri. He never knew his father and his father abandoned him when he was just 3 years old and he was raised along with a younger half-brother by his mother, Debbie Mathers-Briggs, who moved the family to a predominately black neighborhood on the East side of Detroit when Mathers was 11.
  •  During his childhood, Eminem and Debbie shuttled between Michigan and Missouri, rarely staying in one house for more than a year or two and living primarily with family members. ... Eminem spent much of his youth in a working-class, primarily black, Detroit neighborhood. 
  • He changed schools 2-3 times a year, imagine how how rough that is.
  • He was a shy kid in the school and got beaten up in bathroom,hallways, and ignored by black guys around the place the whole time.
  • He was physically abused by a drug addicted mother wich turned him into a troubled child.
  • At age 9, he was beaten so badly by a school bully that he spend over a week in a coma.
  • After failling 9th grade thrice, he dropped out of school at 17, just with the hope of becoming the successful rapper.
  • He entered the "Rap battles with a hope of trying to make a name for himself" where the goal was to make the cleverest rhymes and best insults to the guy your faced, saying lots of rhymed words just to prove you are better then him.
  • His 1st few albums failed, wich got him under severe depression.
  • At the age 23, he struggled to raise his newborn daughter called "Hailie" born in December 25th of 1995. He even had to wash dishes for a low salary to keep the house running and help his mother pay the bills.
  • In 2006, he got a divorce from his childhood love wich further added to his deppresion.
  • He slipped further into drug addiction and got overdosed wich nearly killed him.
  • Then he realized the true value of life and thought of what whould have happened to his daughter if he had died, he started learning how not to be so angry and how to count his blessing instead.
  • And then, he finally found his reason to live, wich made him the greatest rapper of all time.
  •  Dr. Dre found Eminem   and asked him to work for Dre and make his albums.
  • Working with Dr.Dre for him was like a dream coming true because he sold thousands of copies of his few first albums that he created working with Dr.Dre wich helped him reach a fame he never even though he could possible achieve.
  •  His 2000 album, "The Marshall Mathers LP", sold 1.76 million copies in the first week of release in the U.S., a record for a solo artist. 
  •  On March 23, 2003 his song "Lose Yourself" from the film 8 Mile (2002) became the first rap song to win an Academy Award. He was not in attendance, and one of the song's co-writers, Luis Resto, accepted the Oscar on his behalf.

I've made the research myself and i know there is much more to tell about Eminem's biography, but i didnt want to make the blog to boring for the Steemians and my followers over here in @steemit.
This is my own @originalworks and i've done this to show every human that nothing is unreachable and everything can be achieved with a hard work and the will to never give up.

Keep up the journey of your life, have a purpose of living, practise your skills on whatever you feel you are good at.
