... July 8, 2013 ENG/215 Think about what would happen if there was no Eminem? Then there would be one less rapper that is in the music industry today. But more than likely what you are thinking right? Well it would not just be one less rapper. It would also be one less of a role model for anyone who cares about him. Eminem is an influence to the young life and even the adults. His songs are stories are on his life and things that he would have wanted to change or make different. Most of them are based on each and every subject that happened to him through his life. At first some of the children and growing ups in this time and some adults face some of the same problems he faced. Therefore, Eminem is an influence who expresses himself in his own different style or it is his character. His music is an influence because of its rhythmical story behind it. Let`s look at the song “Mockingbird” for example; it is a song of how Eminem’s daughter Hailie was growing up with her mom and her father was always on the news (Eminem) was always on the move.

Eminem worked at jobs for little to nothing to help provide. As his life matured he battled with his daughter’s mother. This could have broken him down; for many it would have. Instead of lying around and creating self-pity for himself he went and made something of his self. The Music Eminem’s music is pure success. His success took hard work and effort, but with his dedication it took flight. He battled other individuals who were in the rap game, and Eminem’s quick emotional lyrics dropped them where they stood. Even the most street thug rappers could not compare to what Eminem brought to the stage. He poured his personal emotions and experiences into his music. People can relate to reality. Eminem’s music was a cold, harsh reality. His music expressed his struggles from day to day, not what he saw transpire in the streets amongst other individuals. His music, his lyrics, his reality was the reality for his listeners. Even the listeners who were not experiencing hardships of Eminem’s...
