Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III, had a difficult childhood growing up in Detroit. He became one of the best-selling music artists of all time in the early 2000s with albums like The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP. Eminem faced struggles with drug addiction and the death of his friend Proof but overcame adversity to have a successful career in rap and win an Academy Award for his song "Lose Yourself" from the film 8 Mile, which was loosely based on his life. He is known for changing his musical style over the years from gangster rap to more commercial pop songs and collaborating with major artists like Rihanna and Dr. Dre.
