Painting Process | Shady Will Rainbow Flag It

Eminem Collage Painting by Borbay

Marshall Bruce Mathers III (aka, Slim Shady, aka, Eminem) tried to kill himself. Surviving, he went on to place second at the 1997 Rap Olympics which lead to a demo request at the hands of Jimmy Iovine, CEO of Interscope Records. He shared it with DRE. A year later, The Source featured Eminem in its “Unsigned Hype” column.

Em is pure energy. Pushing the limits, he’s dropped tracks ranging from spectacular to “eh”, as he notes on his latest album. Good or bad, he brought some freshness to the scene as “The Great White American Hope”.
