he was embarrased to release "Hailie's Song" in the beginning.
Hailie colours and plays video games while Eminem records in the studio. She came up with the part to "My Dad's Gone crazy" on day while Eminem was recording "Soldier". She was playing around and said "somebody please help him!"

he attends public community meetings and even lets children play basketball in his backyard.
his eight year old niece, Amy, is a huge influence on Hailie (two years younger). Hailie learns a lot of stuff from Amy.
his major influences growing were his uncle Ronnie, The Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, 2 Live Crew, Run DMC, and 3rd Bass. <--who ever they are..

he would spend hours at night studying the dictionary so that he could expand on his vocabualry for his lyrics

he worked for a factory called Gribbs Machinery when he was 16. He had a lot of odd jobs for example sweeping floors, taking out the trash. And also worked at Little Ceaser's pizza.
he was really quiet at school and had a very hard time making freinds. But started becoming more social in grade eight. He used to spend his free time watching tv and reading comic books.
before he heard rap he wanted to become a comic book artist.
his idea of splurging is spending $500 or $600 at Nike Town. He's not used to having so much money and doensn't really know what to do with it.
he and Kim used to live in black neighbourhoods. So they would usually meet each other half way or at the railroad tracks to keep out of danger. Eminem would usually get beat up on the way there and even once got shot.
Dr. Dre discovered Eminem after finding his demo tape on the ground of his studio. Then after Eminem won second place at the Rap olympics, Dre decided to sign him to his label.
he has is own record label, Shady Records. And has D12, Obie Trice and 50 Cent are signed on it.

Kim has a twin sister, Dawn.
he gave Paul Rosenberg one of the Grammys that he won in 2000.
Paul has been his manager since 1995.
Eminem feels that he can't trust anybody that he meets because the thinks that they are just trying to befriend him because he’s famous. He likes to keep in touch with his circle of friends who know him as Marshall Mathers.
the background for "Kim" was on a 1983 episode of Growing Pains.
eminem considers himself as a 'happy individual' even though a lot of people think he's angry 24/7. Writing lyrics is his way of venting he says.
The 4 recorded dates for EM getting beat up by D'Angelo Bailey were: October 15, 1981-Marshall got beat up, was bruised, got the wind knocked out of him, had nausea, abnormal sleepiness, and had injuries toward his lips and tongue. November 14, 1981-Marshall suffered another beating during recess, but had sleeplessness, vomiting, nightmares, and antisocial behavior. December 21, 1981-Marshall suffered yet another beating with injuries toward his face, head, back, and legs. January 13, 1982-Marshall was intentionally hit with a snowball containing a heavy object, was mainly wounded severely while lying on the ground and eventually went into a coma and an intermittent loss of vision in his right eye and an intermittent loss of hearing. (This info was based on official legal documents because the Mathers family tried to sue the school board, but lost).
Eminem says that D'Angelo was the biggest kin in the school, and poor Marshall was the smallest. He claims that he still sees a white dot in his right eye now and then.
Eminem was in a couple of groups before he decided to go solo in 1997. Some of the groups included: Bassment Productions, the New Jacks, and Soul Intent. One of these groups would perform wearing ski masks and sweat suits. When they finished their set, they would “unmask” themselves.
Eminem got his Rolex watch from Jimmy Iovine, the head of Interscope Records. One day, he was playing around and started complaining about how Kid Rock got a Rolex for Christmas and all he got was some free CDs to give to his cousins. So yeah, they gave EM a Rolex and he was happily surprised.
EM was a short-order cook at a restaurant called Gilbert's Lodge in St. Claire Shores, Michigan. Whenever he had some lyrics he needed to write down, he'd write them on some receipts. He also used to write his lyrics in pencil on the wall above his bed, but his mom got really pissed cuz the paint came off after trying to erase them. When his friends came to eat, he would also rap things off the menu to them.
