Eminem, a rapper from Missouri, made his debut in the music industry with his album Infinite
in 1996. He says that that album was a growing album, one where he was trying to figure out what kind of rap he was going to create. He released an Ep after Infinite that was picked up by Dr. Dre who wanted to get him in his studio at Aftermath Entertainment. With Dre's help, Eminem released The Slim Shady LP
in 1999 which became one of the most popular albums of the year while going triple platinum. He followed up the success of the album with The Marshall Mathers LP
. The album did very well, selling 1.76 million copies in its first week. Eminem was on fire and released Eminem Show
in 2002. The album ended up selling over 20 million copies world-wide. Some praised him for his album while some were offended by his use of obscene language. Whether the people against him liked it or not, he had made his mark on the world.

which was not quite as successful as Eminem Show, but did still sell over 15 million copies worldwide. Successful as it was, many people were offended. Michael Jackson was especially offended by the music video for the song "Just Lose It" which depicted Michael Jackson's child molestation trial, plastic surgery, and his hair catching on fire. Eminem publically apologized for the offence. Not much was seen from Eminem until in 2009, he released his newest album, Relapse
