Eminem first debuted to the world with his first album Infinite in 1996. It wasn't until his next two albums, The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show skyrocketed him onto the map and even earned him Grammy nominations for Album of the Year.
Those albums included some of his most iconic singles, as well. "The Real Slim Shady" and "Stan" appeared on The Marshall Mathers LP with "Cleanin' Out My Closet" on the follow-up album.
Along with his record-setting music, Eminem also is a father of three: Hailie, Alaina and Whitney. Of the three, Hailie is in the spotlight the most as the 24-year-old and her father have developed a strong father-daughter relationship over the years.
While always focusing on his family, Eminem has developed quite a strong following of fans. After 11 studio albums and numerous hit singles, it's pretty evident how loyal his fans have become.
"Lose Yourself" has become, arguably, his biggest song to be released over his career. The song debuted in 2002 from the 8 Mile movie, a film that depicted elements of his life growing up in Detroit and making it to the big stage.
Along with his music, Eminem has also had quite the personal battles throughout his life. Among these have been his struggles with drug use and alcohol over the years, something that he has fought to overcome and bring inspiration to others.
Eminem's "Stan" actually was a song written about rabid fans, bringing a new meaning to over-the-top fans. The term has since become popularized in pop culture, even making its way into the Oxford English Dictionary.
