Between controversy, memorable songs, moments of personal life, and appearing in films, Eminem has conquered the hearts of the greatest number, and across the four corners of the globe.

Today we're going to give you 10 great reasons to love the most successful rapper of decades: Eminem!

His mythical sense of humor

Eminem managed to get by with so many vulgar texts it is thanks to his mythical sense of humor on which he was able to bet everything. Indeed, from the title “My Name Is” to “Just Lose It”, his biggest hits have often been hilarious music where he mercilessly chained completely crazy situations. Moreover, the clips associated with his songs are just as legendary. Indeed, we can see in the clip of the song “The Real Slim Shady that”, that the famous Christina Aguilera is represented as an inflatable doll.

How to be offended when one writhes of laughter in front of the songs and the clips of the legendary Eminem?

Hits with global success

The numbers speak for themselves, since 1999 Eminem has sold more than 172 million albums across the world which makes him the most popular rapper of all time. The latter has two diamond albums: “The Marshall Matters Lp” et “The Eminem Show”. This feat is far from trivial since only 8 albums have been certified diamonds in the history of music.

Also, the most fascinating thing about Eminem is that he produced many of his hits himself as if he no longer needed Dr. Dre.

No one will ever forget the globally successful titles that are “Love The Way You Lie” performed with the famous Rihanna, But also “Not Afraid”. These two titles are global and commercial successes.

A rapper who looks like a very good actor

There are a lot of rappers who want to act in movies, but it doesn't always work well. Nevertheless, this is not the case with Eminem who surprised everyone with his role in "8 Mile", drawing inspiration from his youth in the strait, he was able to deliver a touching performance that has remained etched in our memories.

He did not win an Oscar for his role although, in the opinion of the public, he well deserved it. Moreover, he still won Oscar for best original song for “Lose Yourself”, Making him the first rapper in history to win the famous golden statuette.

A fight against his drug addiction

Right after achieving unparalleled success with "8 Mile", Eminem became a prescription drug addict. Indeed, at the height of his consumption, he could swallow close to a hundred pills per day. Thus, his addiction peaked with an overdose of methadone in 2007.

Refusing to admit defeat, he enrolled in a center of Detoxification and succeeds in getting rid of his addiction and healing. Many would have been ashamed of the situation but Eminem decided to make it one strength by engaging in difficult times in his life. These made him the man he is and we are building a true inner strength of character.

A fight for freedom of expression

Eminem showed great tenacity to assert his freedom of expression. Many times during his career, his lyrics have led him to the courts. Despite the controversy, he never gave in to the pressure and always defended his freedom of expression.

One of the most famous lawsuits against Eminem is that of Angelo Bailey who accused him of having insulted him in his song “Brain Damage”. Eminem won the case handily with a judge who delivered his verdict in the form of a rap text.

A start at the bottom of the ladder

Eminem's journey is all the more impressive since he started at the bottom of the ladder. Before becoming a planetary star, Eminem grew up in an unfavored neighborhood living in the strait, he was bullied throughout his teenage years until he left school at 17 to help his mother pay her bills.

In addition, it was the subject of accusations on behalf of Eminem. Indeed, this one indicates that his mother psychologically abused him by stuffing him with pills throughout his childhood on the pretext that he was ill. Despite the pitfalls of his journey, Eminem did never gave up on his dreams and their objectives, and that is his talent for rap that allowed him to get out of it. 

Legendary technical feats

From a pure point of view technical, Eminem is without a doubt one of the most impressive rappers of all time. His texts are dense and with his breathtaking flow, you could almost believe sometimes that he does not even take the time to breathe!

It's no surprise that he is nicknamed "Rap God" (The god of rap). In the song of the same title, he raps 157 syllables in 16 seconds, it's superhuman! The song also earned him the Guinness record of “more words spoken in a hit single” with 1572 words in six minutes.

A devoted father

Behind his legendary bad boy look, Eminem is also an exemplary father. He had his daughter at only 23 years old and always wanted to prevent her from having a childhood like his, so he was always there for her. Indeed, she is the most important person in his eyes and he speaks about it in several of his songs as in the one dedicated to him. “Hailie's Song”.

An undefeated rapper

At the start of his career, Eminem had no difficulty making enemies but those who attacked "Slim Shady" (Aka Eminem) bitterly regretted it. Indeed, Eminem is a specialist in songs in which it is common to attack another rapper, known as distracted.

The list of his victims is long: Everlast, Ja Rule, or Canibus. If these names are unknown to the general public it is because, in addition to having publicly humiliated them, Eminem destroyed their careers.

After more than 15 years in rap, he still remains unbeaten!

Quality texts

If Eminem's music is still popular today, it is thanks to the quality of his texts that are totally out of the ordinary, to give their audience a range of emotions excessively rich. For example, no one has forgotten the tragic story of “Stan”. Indeed, halfway between epistolary fiction and criticism of stardom, the song tells the sad fate of an obsessive fan and Eminem's reaction to the letters he receives.

In addition to being a song, it is a complex literary work that has stayed in mind and which we are still talking about fifteen years later.

So, between planetary success and controversy who could claim to dethrone the king of rap?
