Eminem – Marshal Mathers III

Eminem was born on October 17, 1972 in Kansas City. His real name is Marshal Mathers III.
Marshal was a small and skinny boy and he was bullied in practically every school he went to. When he was nine, he almost died after a vicious attack at school and spent 5 days in a coma. He wrote letters to his dad, hoping that he would come like a super hero and deal with the bullies. But all the letters came back unopened…
At the age of fifteen he dropped out and soon married his school sweetheart. On December 25, 1995 his daughter Hailie Jade was born. These were hard times for the young couple.
Today, Em is rich and famous but he still raps about the days of his unhappy childhood. He says he’ll never forgive his father who left them, penniless, when he was only 6 months old. He had spent 12 years moving with his mother from place to place before they finally settled in Detroit.
