Early Life
The popular rapper from the start had a problematic childhood and spent it moving from Kansas City to Detroit. When he was 12, he finally settled in on the Eastside of Detroit. He went there in the Lincoln High School in Warren, Michigan for three years, from 1986 to 1989.
He showed an interest in rap music very early in his life. At just 4 years old he started to rhyme, and at school, he participated in rap battles. It was his only pleasure in school. As a teenager, at 14, he begins to think about his rap career, and at the age of 17 begins to rap under the name M&M which will later develop into Eminem.
At the beginning of his career, he was rejected by many of his colleagues because he is white. It is a moment in Eminem’s career that fueled the anger that was later heard and felt in his music, lyrics, and performances across America. When he dropped out of ninth grade for the third time, he dropped out of school.
Although he left school, aware of his influence in the media, he never advised his young fans to do the same but emphasized the importance of education and training in schools. After leaving the school he begins to actively participate in rap battles and appear in radio shows.
