Eminem Case Study
Alvin Wilson EMINEM Case study 1/6/16
Eminem brought CONTROVERSY which is depicted in all his songs. He had a song that talked about he being white and that actually placed him at the top. He used his alter ego Slim Shady to use in discussion all the issues facing America; both political and economic. As seen in the slim shady, the song White America shows the political issues. There was a controversy about him being homophobic because of his countless and frequent use of slurs. He wouldn’t use profanity around his house but he uses it in his music because it’s his art.

Radio stations that don’t like Hip Hop or claims to hate Hip Hop would put on Eminem records. He not getting the credit he deserves because he’s white or getting too much credit because he’s white is another factor he was faced with as white. He also deserves a ton of credit for resurrecting Dr Dre’s dead career and putting him back into the game.
The last element introduced by Eminem is CONSISTENCY. He is flow wise the first and only consistent white rapper and selling huge as well. Eminem is one of the most talented and versatile rappers out there today. And if you don't like him, then you don't have to listen to him. Eminem actually has his own style and is original. It wasn’t easy for him to get into the game but once he got into it, he maintained his status and actually upgrades it. Because his style, one always knows what to expect when he holds the mic and is on
