50 Things You Didn't Know About Eminem [Click Inside]


Complex writes:

This weekend, Eminem's major label debut, The Slim Shady LP, celebrates its 14th anniversary.

You know the story. He exploded onto the music scene with "My Name Is," and with almost constant rotation on MTV, an instantly recognizable bleach blonde hairdo, and some of the most shocking rap lyrics ever heard, became an immediate pop culture fixture.

What feels like an endless amount of material has been written about the now 40-year-old superstar, but over the years, so many of the details of his biggest profiles and interviews have fallen to the wayside in favor of the most definitive moments and highlights of his career. But where's the fun in that?

We went on a reading spree and dug up a ton of old information about Marshall Mathers, from the first hip-hop song he heard, to the only book he's read, to the extravagant (and titillating) gift he once got for his pal Elton John. So read up about how he used to get beat up, and a lot more than that.

Without further ado, here are 50 Things You Didn't Know About Eminem:

-He thought of the "Slim Shady" character on the toilet, then got up and "called everyone [he] knew."
-He was still making payments on his trailer home when The Slim Shady LP dropped.
-In order to record Hailie's part for the song "'97 Bonnie & Clyde," he lied to Kim and said they were going to Chuck E. Cheese.
-The only book he's read in full is LL Cool J's I Make My Own Rules.
-He once claimed to have pulled a gun on fans who showed up to his home unannounced.
-He failed ninth grade three times before dropping out.
-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.
-He doesn't know how to use a computer.
-In 2002, with three multiplatinum albums to his name, he was still driving a leased Mercedes-Benz.

Again you're lying, you will be back because you're too butt-hurt not to lol, I might be only 23 but of course I've seen House Party, classic comedy film, Bilal is the sh-it, it still seems to be hard for you to understand, it was 12:30 (noon) at the time I posted that comment and as I mentioned, I was not in the US then, this is getting boring, zzzzZZZZZzzzz

When you're on the plane, times passes by slowly, and I like to be entertained by TI50 comments, keep them coming lol (and yeah, 3 hours is a big difference no matter what)

After the "whatever" part he proves he lied again by posting another comment even though he said that was his last one, killa hoe having a house party with his lover boy eminem lol

You know you won an argument when the other person says "whatever". Game over for you Killa Hoe, lol. Now get back to writing love letters to Eminem, fu-ck boy.
Comment by SMP on February 23, 2013 at 9:39am
This is getting boring hoe, you're saying EXACTLY what I told you numerous times, first that you're a hoe a-ss emo boy, 2nd that you write novels about emo Pop boy Eminem, 3rd that you're a geek, and the list goes on. This is really boring, weak comebacks, hoe as-s comments. Oh and by the way, when I wrote that comment, the time here was 12:30 (noon), unlike you I am travelling all the time (not even in the US as we speak, even if I was, the time difference between East and West coast is huge, but I guess you're too dumb to think about that lol), this is just entertainment for me, I bet that won't be your last post because you're too butthurt to stop posting lol, was I too mean about your emo Pop boy Eminem? :(

Oh oh and get those gay a-ss Eminem posters down, I bet your room's not even painted, you used them posters instead lol

If you think you can get me enraged, you must be delusional. The only one butt-hurt here is you, you know what I said hurt you and know you're calling me butt-hurt like a 10 year old who doesn't know what else to say so he says what he heard was being said about him (the truth lol), how can you be so devoted to someone you don't know though, an emo Pop fa-ggot a-ss rapper? Next day checking the website and still seeing you post comments? Next thing you know, you're gonna be featured in another emo a-ss video entitled "Stan 2", hoe boys will be auditioning for that and I know you will be the first in line lol. Keep writing, next time I check it I better be entertained fa-ggie boy or I will make you listen to Soulja Boy lol
