The Real Slim Shady
Marshall Bruce Mathers Ⅲ,better known by his stage name Eminem and another Slim Shady,is a famous American rapper.As a white,it’s so unbelievable that Eminem achieve success in rapping,a world of black.He has been listed and ranked as one of the greatest artists of all time by many magazines,including Rolling Stones magazine which declared him The King of Hip Hop.In the meantime,he is in controversy all the time because his works is full of sex,violence,anti-homosexual,drugs and attack on other artists.You can find dirty words in every lyrics.Nevertheless,he is still my idol.
A lot of elder people do not accept Eminem because they consider him a lunatic at best,who is only capable of saying some vulgar and indecent words,cursing others as well as asking for trouble.They think the works of Eminem’s refer to emotion of anti-homosexual,disgust to women and excessive description of violence,which influences the social atmosphere negatively to a large extent.For all the bitter criticism about him,as far as I am concerned,they are just far from understanding him and what he have been through.He lived poor life since he was born and his parents divorced when he was six years old.You can hard imagine that he hasn’t known,as yet,who his father is.His mother taking him to run around all along makes him change more than 20 schools. He grew up with malnutrition and maltreat from his mother,so he was thinner and smaller than his schoolmates,which makes him often bullied by others.He even once saw a corpse in the doorway of his home after school.So he found the world violence in his young mind.That’s why Eminem hate his parents,violence,policy,gentlemen,icons,even the whole world.And that’s also the reason I admire him.What he has experienced didn’t destroy him but make him stronger to confront life. He had found his talent in cadence and rhyme then he showed these to people by rap .He directly attack everything ever hurt him with sharp words,such as the
government,violence,war,pop stars and his mother,etc.Having been through such a extremely painful childhood,Eminem,however,refuse to compromise to this tough life and remain a intensive hope.He against domestic violence and become involved with charities,anti-war and drugs with an active attitude.In the end,Eminem is honoured as The Great White Hope through continuous perseverance.
In my eyes,Eminem is not only a rapper but a culture that will affect and inspire the young generation.His fabulous story present us with indeed strong and confidence and his attitude towards life merits our admiration.
