EMINEM SPEECH - Informative

[Tash8]

So in my speech class, we have to do an informative speech..my professor said find someone you can learn a lot about... I figured I already know most of eminems life story and I'm sure i have a thousands fans here who can help too...anyways here's my outline for my speech so far.

The Rise to Superstardom: Eminem Outline

Introduction: "Don't do drugs, don't have unprotected sex, don't be violent... leave that to me" That's the type of person Marshall Mathers or better known as Eminem was. The crazy zany Slim Shady wasn't always like that. He grew up in Detroit with his mother constantly moving him from one school to another. After failing 9th grade three times, Eminem dropped out of school to work. He was then influenced with rap by his uncle Ronnie, eminem and ronnie are about the same age. In the book The Way I Am, eminem tells us how music captured his attention like nothing else. He used it as a scapegoat for his turbulent childhood, dysfunction marriage and overuse of drugs. I will share with you the three different eras of the legacy that today is known as Eminem

Main Points:

1. Before Getting Signed
* Ronnie plays him a rap record
* Meets Proof & D12
* Ronnie Dies/He has a child
2. Fame
* White Rapper/Rap Olympics/Meeting Dr. Dre ("I felt like it's my time to shine, I have to rip this. At that time, I felt that it was a life or death situation.”)
* First Album (*play My Name Is*)
* Controversy/8 Mile
3. Relapse and Recovery
* Stardom starts to take effect, forces him to take a sabbatical/Death of Proof
* Relapses - return to his form
* Recovery - The legend continues
Conclusion: In Conclusion, Eminem's rollar coaster life is what helped him express himself in his music so well and relate to so many different people of many different cultures. Just as a side bar--Eminem was the highest selling artist of the 2000 decade *play his latest song (Not Afraid)*

proofs death which leads him to almost dying 0.o

unless i missed it

good call, i was planning on mentioning it but I didn't put it down on my outline. Definitely important enough.

[theJFKshow]

He knocked up some bitch named Kim

[Elision]

You're missing Kim, his drug addiction/recovery, his plans outside of music, and his major publicity "stunts"(?) if you will. Like how everybody thought he was homophobic, then he did Stan with Elton.

[Alaine]

^ after that everybody still though he is homophobic actually

[Le Tunisien]

his suicide attemps...dissing his mother..talking about kiling his wife..his beefs...his political song "Mosh"..being the artist of the decade...you could input many eminem quotes also

[Emadyville]

I would add his success, the records he broke, album sales, having the number one album (8mile soundtrack), single (lose yourself), movie (8 mile) and number 7 albums (TES) all at one time.

I really look forward to reading all this.

Make sure you post it Tash.

[Elision]

I really look forward to reading all this.

Make sure you post it Tash.

[Cube23]

I honestly think the greatest and biggest career move he made was the Grammys with Elton John. Possibly the largest highlight that will stick with me when I reflect on his career. I would have that somewhere in the controversy category.
