Exploration 6 - Tyler Nerone
An artist that I listened to starting at a young age and continuing to this current day is Eminem. By his stage name Eminem, Marshall Mathers is a highly influential rapper along with controversial. Eminem transports messages through his music to his fans about what it was like for him growing up from absolutely nothing, with an abusive step dad and unstable mom. He raps about his drug problem that he was struggling without throughout his life; we see this in his album Relapse. His drug problem almost killed him multiple times, and he always speaks about how he is blessed to be alive and still be apart of his daughters lives. Following the album relapse, Eminem released another album named recovery, which is his story about him getting clean and off drugs; in this album he states that “Encore i was on drugs and relapse i was flushing them out”. Encore is another one if his albums that he released prior to relapse, and he’s saying he was on drugs while creating that album but now he is clean. He talks about the struggles he’s faced throughout his life, and stands up for what he believes in which i think is motivational and one of the reasons that i enjoy listening to Eminem. In Eminem’s song Not Afraid he talks about how he’s not afraid to stand up for what he beleives in and that he is going to do everything in his power to stay true to that. Eminem targets the youth because he raps about things that we all can relate to, which catchy lines and styles of rapping that you want to listen to again and again. I believe that Eminem is a very motivational rapper simply because he made it from absolutely nothing to being extremely successful and somebody that we can look up to.

This is very accurate and I completely agree with you considering the fact that I wrote my exploration 6 on him too.
ReplyDeleteI’m sure I am not the only one to think that some of Eminem’s music is on my work out playlist for the reason of how hype is songs get. Not just the feel of the music but also the meaning behind the music as well.
ReplyDeleteI am also an Eminem fan. I am not a big rap fan but there is something about Eminem's songs that are appealing to me. He is a lyrical genius and a very talented artist.
ReplyDeleteI think Eminem is one of the biggest names in the rap industry. I think eminem is a genius when it comes to his lyrics about his family life and also when he writes about his struggles.
ReplyDeleteI like how you talked about him relating to the youth, i find it very accurate. I think this is what makes him so controversial, he is able to relate to the youth in a way that a lot of parents don't like, using drugs and alcohol to get his message across.
