EMINEM - LOSE YOURSELF

After analyzing 'Lose Yourself' by Eminem, I've understood Eminem's emotion in this song. He raps about taking a chance at success and being able to take it without anyone stopping him. He also refers to the movie 8 mile, where he failed his first chance and knew that his second opportunity he had to succeed. Analyzing the lyrics, with all the expression he has on him he's starting to lose his desire and momentum of being an artist. At one point he says "A normal life is boring, but super stardom's close to post mortem" which means that having a normal life is boring, but being a superstar is almost being dead. Eminem feels like being a superstar is a lot of pressure and the expectation levels are very high because you need to keep producing content that is bigger and better which he said in this sentence "It only grows harder, only grows hotter". He's been through tough times in his career and tries his best to gain respect from other rappers in the industry. My final thoughts on this analysis would be that this song is about his tough times and what he goes through in his career and he truly does a great job expressing it in 'Lose Yourself'.

Everyone in life goes through tough situations and I can reflect on this when it comes to school grades. As I explained in the following paragraph "It only grows harder, only grows hotter" means you have to produce better content for better results is something I can reflect on. It's never easy to get good marks; you always need to put in motivation and dedication to succeed. You need to put in better work and effort to get the results you want which is why Eminem's verse in this song reflects me. Overall though, I must say this is one of my favorite songs of all time and it was very interesting to analyze Eminem's lyrics.

    “I wasn’t raised in the hood but I know a thing or two about pain and darkness. If it wasn’t for this music I don’t know how I would have fought this.” Since he was born in Ohio, he obviously wasn't raised in a place that was hard for him to grow up and live, but just because of that it doesn’t mean that he didn't know how hard life can be and because of those hard times he was able to write his music and save himself. “I’m in constant confrontation with what I want and what is poppin’ in the industry it seems to me that singles on the radio are currency mr creativity’s only free when I’m playin’ shows.”…

    Throughout the years many methods have been utilized in making a macroscopic analysis of the youth of America. Traditionally, when using music to make this analysis, the overall influence of pop music on adolescents and children would be examined. Mary Eberstadt flips this logic around and asks the question: "What is it about today's music, violent and disgusting though it may be, that resonates with so many American kids?" By answering this question, Eberstadt hopes to not to learn what music "does" to adolescents, but rather what music can "tell" about them. Is it possible that today's pop music can be used as a lens to glimpse into the lives of today's youth? Eberstadt finds her evidence through examining many of the lyrics…

    Everyone is affected by adversity and everyone tends to overcome and recover from adversity. One guy that a lot of people look up to and that had faced adversity is Eminem. His real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III and he is like an idol to people who have drug problems or family problems. He grew up with nothing and came from an absentee father and a cruel mother. He always appeared to be angry and it was even felt through his music. He has a disillusioned wife and lived life in a trailer park. His life was rough that pushed him to drop out of the ninth grade because he had failed three times. That’s when he thought of going into the rap career. In 1997, Interscope Records discovered Eminem and was given a record deal. He released his first album Marshal Mathers LP and it was very successful and won 3 Grammy awards for it. He had a daughter at an early age and struggled with fatherhood. Like a lot of fathers, Eminem doesn’t think he would be a good father for his daughter and he doesn’t feel like he could provide for her. He was always with his daughter and was by her side unlike his father was for him who left him. When his daughter turned three Marshall was able to provide her with everything that she wanted and life started to turn out better. He always wrote negative songs about his mother and Kim and his mother set up sever lawsuits against him but he overcame adversity by trying twice as hard to show his worth and to be successful in the Rap Industry. All of his songs and the 8 Mile movie were based on his life events and his friends, family, enemies, and he learns from his mistakes. His album Relapse was based on a rough time he went through but in 2010 he released Recovery which took a stand in his life to become a better Idol for people and a better person. People have experienced the things he’s been through and they take his songs into heart and understand what he means in them. I haven’t been through what he has besides the…

    At first my mom and dad tried to hide the divorce from us and lie about why one parent wasn't here when the other one was, and that really made an impact on me, but my brother doesn't remember much so it doesn't effect him like it does me. I was old enough to realize that something wasn't right only because I knew who they both really were on the inside and something was missing from them. This song represents a time in my life when my life was really hard and going downhill. I started failing tests and getting really low scores on our STAR tests. I believe that the hardest part for me was that they lied about everything because I will never forget that wether they know that or…

Meaning when bad things happen other more difficult situations seem to occur at the same time. Another figurative language that he uses are Idioms. He doesn't have that much , but he is trying to make it the best way he can. “I'm trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cent” (2pac). One of most interesting part of this song is when he talks about blaming his mother for turning his brother into a crack baby. “We ain't meant to survive , cause it's a setup” (2pac).
