Eminem

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses famous American white rapper, Marshall Mathews, aka Eminem, and the controversy that surrounds his career. The paper examines the people in his life, his childhood and the factors today that make him who he is. The examination includes examples from his songs that depict the artist's mindset when it comes to the foundation of violence in one's life.

From the Paper:

"Many of the lyrics to his songs promote, embrace and encourage violence. There is a song in which he raps about having his daughter help him dispose of her mother's body after he has cut her throat. In another song he talks calmly about killing a cop and of course most of the world has heard about the $10 million law suit that his mother slapped him with after he claimed in one song that she smoked more dope than he did. Eminem's skyrocket to stardom has not been a smooth ride. There have been instances of violence, suicide attempts (by ex-wife), law suits by mom, sudden appearance of an always absent and dead beat dad among other things."
