Born as Marshall Bruce Mathers III or ‘Eminem’ is a name that needs no introduction when it comes to today’s stardom and music culture. An actor, record- producer and rapper, Eminem started to rap when he was 14. He dropped out of the ‘Lincoln High School’, at17 and started to chase his dreams in ‘rap music’ industry. As a ‘white’ youth living in the middle class society of the ‘black’ dominated Detroit city, it would always be difficult for a white to excel at ‘rap’. However, the underground ‘hip-hop’ fans applauded the talent of this white singer, pushing him towards success. As his reputation grew, he was first recruited by the band ‘New Jacks’ but it got dispersed soon. ‘Soul Intent’ was the band that marked his true beginning. And he was able to strike a chord with all souls with his songs, music, thoughts and quotations. Soon he signed up with FBT Productions, and in 1996, launched his first album ‘Infinite’. But his journey to stardom started with his performance at the 1997 ‘Rap Olympics’ and the alter-ego ‘Slim Shady’, which he used in his songs. Eminem’s sayings, quotes and thoughts are an inspiration for many. Here are some quotes by him that talk about life, humor, relationship etc.
When you're a little kid, you don't see color, and the fact that my friends were black never crossed my mind. It never became an issue until I was a teenager and started trying to rap
