However, he is also no stranger to creative genius. The music industry became fascinated with Eminem when he burst onto the scene in 1999 with mega-producer Dr. Dre, touting The Slim Shady LP, an album riddled with graphic tales of Eminems demented alter-ego, Slim Shady. From there, Eminems music became a calling card for the psychopath in all of us, making famous typically taboo lines such as: You think I wont choke no whore till the vocal cords dont work in her throat no more? (From Kill You off of the Marshall Mathers LP.) MEET THE AUTHOR Acamea Deadwiler is a freelance writer that has been featured in several publications, and also a columnist with Examiner.com.

Eminem's delivery and use of metaphors was lethal. His storytelling was so witty, one could not help but laugh at things that would normally cause one to cringe. As deranged and violent as his music portrayed him to be, Eminem was truly talented. After allowing Slim Shady to dominate most of his albums, Eminem reinvented himself, and did so magnificently with Recovery, his most personal and subdued album to date. No more gimmicks. No blonde hair, no funny skits and no tales of reckless escapades. Just a supremely gifted MC.
