EMINEM is the best damn rapper alive....

Background Eminem's popularity brought his group project, D12, to mainstream recognition. As well as being a member of D12, Eminem is also one half of the Detroit hip hop duo Bad Meets Evil, with Royce da 5'9". Eminem is one of the best-selling artists in the world and is the best selling artist of the 2000s. He has been listed and ranked as one of the greatest artists of all time by many magazines including the Rolling Stone magazine which has ranked him 82nd on its list of The 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. The same magazine has declared him The King of Hip Hop. Including his work with D12 and Bad Meets Evil, Eminem has achieved ten number one albums on the Billboard 200. He has also sold more than 33 million track downloads and 39.6 million albums in the United States alone. In 1995, Marshall recorded his first album titled Infinite, which only sold about 1000 copies . Eminem quickly gained popularity in 1999 with his major-label debut album, The Slim Shady LP. That first album, The Marshall Mathers LP and his third major album, The Eminem Show, all won Grammy Awards, making Eminem the first artist to win Best Rap Album for three consecutive LPs. The Marshall Mathers LP is also considered one of Eminem's best and most successful albums. Eminem then went on hiatus after touring in 2005. He released his first album since 2004's Encore, titled Relapse, on May 15, 2009. In 2010, Eminem released his seventh studio album Recovery, which was an international success. Recovery was also named the best selling album worldwide of 2010 joining The Eminem Show, which was the best seller of 2002. Eminem won Grammy Awards for both Relapse and Recovery, giving him a total of 13 Grammys in his career. Eminem has named Masta Ace, Big Daddy Kane, Newcleus, the Beastie Boys, Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur, AZ, Nas, and Ice-T amongst others as his influences. Arguements 1) Em' has a way with words, he is the best at playing with words within verses , for example .... Wont back down - feat P!NK "What's the saying? Where there's thunder there's lightning And they say that it never strikes twice In the same place so how the f**k have I Been hit 6 times in 3 different locations on 4 separate occasions" In this verse ,"Where there's thunder there's lightning" is not a very popular saying, but it resembles "where there's smoke there's fire", by which Eminem means "you know I'm the best rapper because I've sold the most records" Continuing with the sayings, "lightening never strikes twice" means "you might get lucky once, but don't count on luck!"Eminem has been struck — not only twice — but 6 times! (meaning 6 of his albums have gone platinum) What Em means by 3 locations and 4 occasions seems to be the 3 different locations for record releases — the U.S., Europe, and the U.K. and his 4 albums that have received Grammy awards: Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers LP, The Eminem Show and Relapse. http://www.youtube.com... 2) Em' is NOT a product of system. What do i mean you ask? ... Easy , what you hear from his mouth is 100% his ! He writes his material , not the record company or "ghostwriters"(something alot of rappers are starting to do). Nor does he give a crap about who or what he hurts Em' never forgets where he came from. 3) (And this is the point i love the most) Slim silences critics and BEEFS Eminem has spoken openly about his addiction to prescription drugs, including Vicodin, Ambien, Valium and Methadone. His group-mate Proof from D12 stated that Mathers "sobered up" in 2002 from drug and alcohol dependence. However, he did turn to zolpidem (Ambien) sleeping pills for relief from sleeping troubles. This caused Mathers to cancel the European leg of the Anger Management Tour in August 2005 and eventually go into rehab for treatment for a "dependency on sleep medication". In a 2009 interview with British talk-show host Jonathan Ross, Mathers admitted that at the height of his addiction, he considered suicide, saying that, "I just wasn't taking care of myself, at times I wanted to just give it up." He also confirmed that he is now sober, commenting that, "[R]ap was my drug ... Then I had to resort to other things to make me feel that. Now rap's getting me high again." People constantly doubted that slim would even make it to where he was before his hiatus Not only did Eminem come back , but he came back and destroyed all who doubted him. Furthermore , Em' is the king at ending careers when it comes down to beefs. perfect examples... http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... http://www.youtube.com... i look forward to my opponent's closing arguements
