'''Marshall Bruce Mathers III''', AKA '''Eminem''', AKA Slim Shady (1972-) is a popular rapper from Warren, Michigan.
Mathers had a [[Troubled but Cute|troubled childhood]], raised on welfare by his mother who [[Abusive Parents|emotionally and physically abused him]]. [[Disappeared Dad|His father walked out on the family when he was a baby]]. The family switched homes every two months before they settled down. [[Kids Are Cruel|He was bullied to ridiculous extents for being white in an all-black ghetto]]; once he was even put in a coma and had to re-learn all his basic functions when he woke up. He was often kicked out of his own house for nights, he had failed ninth grade three times, and he could never get a decent paying job, the homes he stayed in were often robbed, and had apparently tried to commit suicide a few times.

In the Spring of 2009, ''Relapse'' was released, sending Eminem back into [[Enemy Within|‘Slim Shady’]] territory, detailing his descent into drug addiction during his hiatus. While the album received generally positive reviews and was seen as an improvement over ''Encore'', some felt that the accents, celebrity bashes and outright morbid weirdness of some of the tracks were a little much (interesting, Eminem seems to agree with the detractors, calling the album "Ehh" during "Not Afraid"). However, it was yet another financial smash, securing Eminem as the best-selling rapper of all time. A special edition of the album, titled ''Relapse: Refill'', was released in December of the same year and included seven new songs.
His next album was set to be a direct [[Sequel]] to ''Relapse'', but as he tinkered with it, the whole ''[[What Could Have Been|Relapse 2]]'' idea was dropped in favor of a completely new album titled ''Recovery'', which promised to be a return to the more sincere and somber tone of ''The Marshall Mathers LP'' and focus less on Slim Shady's antics (That album, named ''The Marshall Mathers LP 2'', was released on November 5, 2013). The first single from the album, "Not Afraid", was released on April 29th, 2010, and the album was released on June 22nd of the same year. While some listeners felt that it was just more of the same, reception was for the most part positive, with many hailing it as a vast improvement over both ''Encore'' and ''Relapse''. And like all of his albums, it was greeted with very strong sales.

* [[Absurdly Youthful Mother|Absurdly Youthful Father]]: A really rare [[Real Life]] example; while he is definitely old enough to be the father of his daughter, he doesn't look any older than 30 or so despite being born in 1972. His daughter was born in 1995 and looks like it. A bystander would probably guess they were cousins or something else, as they look less than 10 years apart when in reality, he had her at a fairly reasonable 24 years of age.
