Eminem
Marshall Bruce Mathers III, known professionally as Eminem, is an American rapper, songwriter, record producer and record executive. Widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential rappers of all time, he is often credited with popularizing hip-hop in Middle America and breaking down racial barriers for the acceptance of white rappers in the genre. While much of his transgressive work during the late 1990s and early 2000s made him a controversial figure, Eminem has become a representation of popular angst of lower income America and is noted for his conscious lyrics—which include political criticism and social commentary—and rap flow.
