Now his alter ego B-rabbit is shy ,enclosed, the person who’s afraid to be who he wants to be.B-rabbit never usually comes out though anymore it was more of an alter ego to help him cope as a kid growing up and going through the hectic things he has.

    Analysis of "Eminem Is Right" by Mary Eberstadt

    Mary Eberstadt begins her excerpt from Home-Alone America: The Hidden Toll of Day Care, Behavioral Drugs, and Other Parent Substitutes by addressing the parental agenda on adolescent popular music and its degradation. She implies that the argument is ironic, stating that the parents of today’s teens are of the baby-boom generation where counterculture served as no stranger. But Eberstadt agrees with the parents. She too believes the popular music of today is much darker than that of the baby boom, comparing themes of misogyny, sexual exploitation, and violence to the trends of past generations.…

    Explain the Influences of Two Predictable and Unpredictable Major Life Events

    Eminem was married in his 20’s this was predictable because he had a stable girlfriend and was engaged therefore this led to marriage. The marriage stage in Eminem’s life was the good moments; it was like his life was on track finally. Eminem and Kim had a child together called Hailey. She was a bridesmaid at their wedding. This had a big effect on Eminem’s life because Hailey is his number one person. He loves her to pieces, he talks a lot about her in his music, and he expresses his upbringing to the world. This shows how the marriage and having a child affected him physically because now his expressing the good vibes in his music, it’s something that he is happy about. This affected him intellectually because his daughter is constantly on his mind hence why he made a song about her. His song ‘’Hailies Song’’ expresses a lot of his life and how much she has an effect on him, he seems to think that he is wasting his time throughout his life and he feels like the world is on his shoulders. His daughter gives him that little wakeup call that tells him that his life isn’t all that bad because he loves seeing her grow up. This shows how important Kim and Hailie are to him. Unfortunately he gets divorced with Kim and obviously this wasn’t predictable but it hurts him to think about the divorce and he actually feels like he wants to give up. This has an effect on his development because this could affect his future, when he meets someone new he is going to have doubts and be overprotective with his daughter and weary about who is getting himself involved with. He tried to make it work with Kim but it wasn’t as easy as…

    Tupac as an American Icon

    Tupac was a leading American icon because he crossed cultural, racial, and economic barriers. From the child in the suburb to the former vice president of the United States, everyone recognized Tupac's iconic status. He had many traits that would make him stand out above the rest, and that is what made him the best. His traits are routed in his name because he was named after an Inca Indian revolutionary Tupac Amaru, which means "shining serpent", and Shakur is Arabic for "thankful to God."

    Gilgamesh Dialectical Journal

    Eminem has a history of drug abuse and adultery but is revered by millions of people. He rose from poverty to become famous and wealthy. Some may say he is the king of the rap industry. Gilgamesh was admired for his physical strength. The trapper’s father said “My son, Uruk lives Gilgamesh, no one has ever prevailed against him, he is strong as a star from heaven.” Eminem is admired for his strength in his lyrics. Gilgamesh lost his friend Enkidu which made him realize “what my brother is now I shall be when I am dead. Because I am afraid of my own death I will go as best I can to find Utnapishtim whom they call the Faraway, for he has entered eternal life.” Eminem lost custody of his daughter because of drug abuse and realized he would never see her again unless he changed his ways. Both Gilgamesh and Eminem had tragic events occur in their lives before reality finally set in.Every true hero knows that he did not get to where he is by himself and they consistently gives credit to other people or divinities for their…

    Eminem: Rap God

    His rap songs are over flowing with rhythm and rhyme. Eminem has the talent to make just about any word rhyme. He could make something rhyme with orange if he had to. Without his strong rhythm skills, his music would be nothing. Without his strong rhythm skills, he would have no rhymes. Without his strong rhythm skills, Eminem would not be the rapper and artist he is today. Marshall Mathers is able to scrounge up any group of words, make them rhyme and sound absolutely amazing with the help of his right brained rhythm knack. It is astonishing to look at his ability to rhyme so well, and make fantastic pieces of art. Eminem is not some ordinary rapper, rhyming words like time, dime, and slime; He is rhyming more complex words, and words you would not even imagine could go…

    Christopher Wallace was born in Brooklyn, New York, May 21, 1972. He was raised in the poor Brooklyn neighborhood that had violence surrounding it. Dropping out of high school at the age of seventeen, Biggie became a crack dealer when he was only twelve, which he proclaimed was his only source of income. Hustlin' one's way was a common life for a young Black man trying to make a living in the ghetto and put food on the table for his family (Biography Channel 2013).

    Eminem Adversity

    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…

    Poetry vs. Rap

    In similarity, rappers have a lot of freedom when they rap a song and have the ability to change the wording, rhyme and sentence structure just like how poets have freedom in the style and use of literary techniques. In addition to freedom in style they also share similar literary techniques such as rhyme, meter, and alliteration. In rap, rappers “flow” are based on the literary techniques, creativity and delivery…

    Eminem lose yourself

    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'.…
