Biography.
He was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and was raised in Detroit. Discovered by rapper and producer Dr. Dre, Eminem got his big break when signing to Dre's Aftermath Entertainment and became a crossover sensation with his debut single "My Name Is" while simultaneously earning respect for his technical and lyrical ability.
Eminem is noted for his ability to change his vocal pace and style multiple times within one song without losing the beat, and has been praised for his skill in alliteration and assonance. He's also infamous for the controversy surrounding many of his lyrics. With the enormous success of his highly acclaimed album The Marshall Mathers LP and its subsequent nomination for four Grammy awards including Album of the Year, critics such as GLAAD denounced his lyrics as homophobic and misogynist, while others protested that it promoted violence.

To date, Eminem has sold above 72 million albums worldwide. He is, according to the Guinness World Records, the fastest-selling rap artist as The Marshall Mathers LP went to sell over 1.7 million domestic copies in its first week. He's also regarded as the best selling rapper of all time.
