He did grow up in the projects. His mother was a pill-popper, his father left when he was a baby. He is a good father to his daughter, he was the one who got custody from the judge.
He's the best lyricist out there, his cd's get good reviews everywhere and so did his movie. Vanilla Ice was a fluke, Eminem is not a fluke.
I love how people try and rip on him without knowing him. But you see any interview with an actor who worked with him or an artist who collaberated with him, they say he is a great person, a smart guy, a funny guy and a genius.
OH BUT HE IS JUST A WHITE GUY TRYING TO ACT BLACK.
Gimme a break.
