Eminem, A.K.A. Marshall Mathers was the only child in a low income family in Detroit Michigan. At the age of 12, he made Detroit his official residence in which he and his mother both resided until his fame. His 1st hip hop influence came from the legendary Beastie Boys, with their album “License To Ill.” The initial Eminem mixtapes popped up at the young age of 14, where Mathers performed under the artist name “M and M.” After joining “Bassmint Productions,” he released his very first EP referred to as “Steppin’ Onto The Scene.” In 1995, they changed their name to “Soul Intent,” and released their 1st single named “Fuckin’ Backstabber,” which was released on Mashin’ Duck Records. He regularly participated in local freestyle battles as well as released Eminem mixtapes across the town that he lived in. After winning over the acceptance of the hip-hop community, he eventually dropped out of high school to pursue his dream of making it to the top in the business.

Eminem had his initial official record deal with FBT Productions back in 1992, which had been owned by the brothers Mark and Jeff Bass. At that point in time, Mathers was upholding a minimum waged job in the business just to make ends meet. 1996 proved to be a pretty necessary year for Eminem with the 1st full length album release known as “Infinite,” which was recorded at the Bassmint studios in Detroit. Eminem stated that his earlier works came from a juvenile location, where he was still sorting out and fine tuning his own exclusive rapping style.

The overwhelming success of Eminem’s “slim shady ep” was brought back down by the claims that Eminem was attempting to copycat the styles of Cage. It wasn’t until the CEO of Interscope records decided to request a demo tape from Mathers that Eminem saw his initial glimpse at a massive break in his career. Having given a influence to Cassidy Mixtapes and French Montana mixtapes was only the beginning. Eminem has seen multi-platinum acclaim for his a large number of full length releases that sell copies by the millions.

Eminem’s new album “Recovery” has been rumored to have singles featured on upcoming Cassidy mixtapes, and french Montana mixtapes as well. It appears that all of the greatest producers and MCs are aching to be able to get a piece of what Eminem is delivering. There is no doubt that he will continue to make his mark here in hip hop history for a large number of years to come. Eminem mixtapes will drop in between the albums and maintain his buzz going strong.
