Marshall Mathers aka Eminem aka Slim Shady causes controversy wherever he goes but that hasn't stopped him becoming one of rap's biggest stars. Call him what you want but he is one of the most successful rappers in today’s rap industry. The critics fail to see that he is making these lyrics because he knows that they will talk about him and if people don’t know about him they might just buy his CD in curiosity.

I went to the concert that came to The Mark of The Quad Cities and was very pleased with the concert. He will always have that band of people that will buy his CD no matter if it is good or bad, like me. “Eminem’s Divorce from Kimberly Mathers Finalized” Retrieved 18 May 2002
