How Has Eminem Risen To The Top?

How is it that a little white boy from Kansas City has becomethe most
well known rapper in the world? Starting from nothingand eventually
moving up to a multi-millionaire, Eminem over thepast seven years has
been in the eye of the public everywhereyou look. He has essentially
entered a black man's business andgone to the top over the course of a
few years, but how?

On October 17, 1972 Marshall Bruce Mathers III was born in St.Joseph,
MO by his 15 year old mother Debbie. Six months laterhis father was
gone and this began the struggle for Marshall andhis mother; one that
was just the beginning. Throughout thecourse of his childhood Marshall
and his mother moved numeroustimes into different houses from Kansas
City to Detroit. Themaximum time spent in one house was only 3 months,
which causedMarshall to attend many different schools making it
difficult tocope to the different surroundings and make friends. Every
newschool he attended he was bullied as he was the new kid. Thiswas
something that he could not change as he was never stationedin one
school for a long period of time. At the age of 12 he andhis mother
finally settled in a house in Detroit. He wouldlater use the bullying
to his advantage fueling him to get backat all his bullies through
songs.

By the age of 4 Marshall was already beginning to rap and putwords
together rhyming them. At school he was rather successfulconsidering
the circumstances, but it was lunchtime that heenjoyed as he often
battled schoolmates through freestyles. Atthe age of 14 Marshall began
to get serious about rapping andfelt that he had a shot in the
business. When he got to theninth grade he failed it three times
before eventually droppingout as he felt school was not for him.

When he turned 17 he came up with the name M&M for himself bycombining
the first letters of his first and last name, whichlater was changed
to Eminem. Now that he didn't have school asa distraction, he focused
solely on rapping with the goal ofmaking it to the top. He faced
constant struggle on the way tostardom as he was continuously rejected
