50 things you didn't know about Eminem

[Just Silver]

These are really cool. Complex is legit, they're all either very likely true or hard to question.

His grandmother threatened to sue him if he used a freestyle by his deceased Uncle Ronnie on The Marshall Mathers LP. His grandmother later sent him a tape and a note that read, "Marshall, I found Ronnie's last tape. Maybe you can use it." It was a recording of Ronnie's funeral.

Damn..

thats fucked up

Eminem's had a rough life. Like people jumping in his pool, and pulling in his driveway? People stealing his possessions in rehab? Getting sued for about 100 times, no wonder he hates fame so much

[NoColor]

He wrote "Lose Yourself" in one take while on the set of 8 Mile.

everybody knows that

Isn't his vocals on the track heavily layered?

How could have it been recorded in one take?

His favorite movie is Superbad? He has seen Rocky 150 times and his favorite movie is Superbad?

I read that during the drug era he watched superbad like 200 times. I weas confused when this was left off that list, which makes me question the list a little.

i didn't know

He got shot at while walking to Kim's house as a teenager.

He once claimed to have pulled a gun on fans who showed up to his home unannounced.

He got into a habit of constantly watching the Rocky movies, Shooter, and Boogie Nights at the height of his addiction and has seen all of them around 150 times.

At the beginning of his career, he and Royce Da 5'9" hid new Avirex leather jackets under his hotel bed and from his manager, Paul Rosenberg, for fear of seeming fiscally irresponsible.

Eminem apologized to Alchemist for giving him an "accent joint"—a track where he was still rapping in an accent, from before he was all the way clean—for Alchemist's album.

Not only did I know them all, but I think so did a lot of even casual fans... most of these are the most written about 'tidbits' ever. Lazy work Complex.

Good to know it, thanks.

he got shot at, not shot

[Tomer666]

I just realized he has the worst luck ever (except for being the best rapper ever), got shot at, people broke into his house 5 times, got evicted one day before rap olympics, crashed his ribs on his first tour ever, and even when he made it he got people jumping in his pool.
lol

[the real slim shady]

Knew most of them tbh
Didnt know how long his birth was or about the Ronnie tape thing though, thats kinda messed up.
The one about Elton John calling once a week though, he said it was every other day
