Encore was the album and the song that people didn't like was Just Lose It. The song contain "slurs" about Michael Jackson. About after words Eminem himself said " Thats not a stab a Michael, it's just a metaphor, I am just psycho"(Wikipedia). Many people still thought Eminem was taking shots at Jackson saying it was "kicking him whiles he's down." Also, many people took a parody to this song. Pee- Herman, MC Hammer and the biggest of them all Weird al Yankovic who all made a parody of Just Lose It. Many radio stations and tv networks pulled the song from their stations. MTV said they would continue playing Just Lose It, even though it was the center of the problem. A few months went by and people started to make rumors of Eminem retiring. Eminem appeared on WKQI's "Mojo in the Morning" show. Denying that he was retiring, he suggested he would take a break as an artist this is what he said "I'm at a point in my life right now where I feel like I don't know where my career is going ... …show more content…
"We fully expect to be releasing a new Eminem album in 2013. He's been working on it for some time," said Rosenberg. "It's safe to say that it will be post-Memorial Day at some point, but we're not exactly sure when. We've got some dates locked in for him to perform live in Europe in August, so we're trying to see what else lines up." The album remained untitled. On March 22, Dr. Dre said that he worked with Eminem on the album and it was nearly finished No I.D. was confirmed as
However, the taboo nature of N.W.A's music was the most important factor of its mass appeal. Media coverage compensated for N.W.A's lack of airplay and their album eventually went double platinum.[16] One month after Straight Outta Compton, Eazy-E's solo debut Eazy-Duz-It was released. The album was dominated by Eazy's persona—MC Ren was the only guest rapper—but behind the scenes it was a group effort. Music was handled by Dr. Dre and DJ Yella; the lyrics were largely written by MC Ren, with contributions from Ice Cube and The D.O.C. The album was another double platinum success for Ruthless[17] (in addition to girl group J.J. Fad in 1988 and singer Michel'le in 1989). 1989 saw the re-issue of N.W.A and the Posse and Straight Outta Compton on CD, and the release of The D.O.C.'s No One Can Do It Better. His album was essentially a collaboration with Dr. Dre and notably free of "gangsta rap" content, however including the N.W.A posse cut "The Grand Finalé." It would become another #1 album for the record label.
‘Lose Yourself’ by Eminem is about being famous in the music industry with the difficulty of pressure that occur in the music industry for popularity. Eminem uses dynamics and instrumentals to stay in a constant rhythm after verse one with repetition of the chorus. ‘…You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime.’ The listeners are able to gather the truth about the music career and become more aware of what the composer feels when getting on the music stage to sing.
Marshall Bruce Mathers, Slim Shady more known as Eminem was born 17th 1972 in Kansas City, Missouri. His father Marshall Mathers jr II abandoned him when he was 18 months old so his mother Deborah Nelson raised him alone.
His contract was cancelled with the record company because they didn’t think that was good influence on the company. (Marcovitz 25) He was shot again at again 3 years later but the shooter missed.

He shows up for major acts like Frank Ocean, and is appeared on the new N.E.R.D. album with “Rollinem 7’s”. Andre also appears to be keeping an ear out on the youth as he appeared on Richmond rapper $ilk Money song “Decemba”. He clearly has the ability to write at the age of 42, but is he in a mental space to craft a 10 to 14 track album by himself? He has nothing that we can compare to an “Illmatic”, “Blueprint”, or even a “Good Kid Maad City”. As a rap legend with the star power he has, making fans wait over a decade for an album is setting himself up for disappointment. In the social media era where people are able to give an instant reaction to anything, a number of people today do not take the time to fully digest an album. If Andre focused on making an experimental style album, some would easily dismiss it because it’s not
When faced with the decision of which pop song really stood out to me during my youth and adolescent years, the song “Lose Yourself” by Eminem immediately came across my mind. From listening to this song during soccer game warm ups, to quietly being indulged in my own headphones while studying for high school exams, this song was like no other in my ITunes library. On top of its amazing use of musical elements, I especially love this song because of its connection to certain socio historical factors and the pure raw meaning behind its lyrics. Although the reaction to this song was quite mixed, and stirred a lot controversy, it was the most defining rap song of the early 2000s. While sitting at my seat pondering about this piece, it brought
In 1996, Tupac released his last album All Eyez on Me. The album was the beginning of his career with Death Row. In an MTV interview with Tupac, Kurt Loder, a journalist from the source said:
Marshall Bruce Mathers a.k.a. Eminem. Born October 17, 1972, grew up in Kansas City. From there he began his career as an individual white rapper. Not many white people are able to succeed in the rap industry, but Eminem has proved everyone wrong. He is now one of the most talked about persons on the earth. His lyrics offend some people, this sparks controversy and censorship. His lyrics containing things such as drugs, alcohol, death, homosexuals, sex and suicide. In some of his songs he includes lyrical

Marshal Bruce Mathers III who is also know as Eminem was born with great talent and determination. He faced many challenges in his life but his determination and commitment lead him to success. Eminem's life as a child wasn't easy since his father abandoned him when he was six months old. He lived with an abusive mother who never supported him and considered him as a worthless human being.

Marshall Mathers, widely known as Eminem, is an American rapper, record producer, and actor, who is recognized as one of the most controversial and best-selling artists of the early 21st century (“Eminem”). Marshall writes most of his lyrics through his personal life experiences while adding a comical “I don’t give a S***” vibe to them. He struggled through a rough and lonely childhood, had relationship issues, became a father at a young age, and worked hard with dedication and persistence to get where he is today.
Eminem is one of the most famous rappers of all time,but it was no easy ride. He was basically homeless as child. He had absolutely nothing ,but that didn't stop him. Look at him now , he’s one of the most well known rappers and has released at least 3 albums.
It appears to the press that the new Eminem CD was coming out. Two weeks prior to the CD was coming out, people on the internet were trading and swapping the album. This is an outrage and these are things that are occurring all the time to hurt the artists hard worked time and effort. If I'm putting my heart and all my time into music, I expect to get rewarded for that," Eminem says in a statement on MUSIC's Web site. It’s hard to stop the people from doing this, but there has to be some way to limit this, even if takes time and money.
