He was born Marshall Mathers in St. Joseph, MO
(near Kansas City), spending the better part of his impoverished childhood shuttling back and forth between his hometown and
the city of Detroit. Initially attracted to rap as a teen, Eminem began performing at age 14,
performing raps in the basement of his high school friend's home. The two went under the names Manix and M&M
(soon changed to Eminem), which Mathers took from his own initials. Due to the unavoidable racial boundaries that
came with being a white rapper, he decided the easiest way to win over underground hip-hop audiences was to become a battle
rapper and improv against other MCs in clubs. Although he wasn't immediately accepted, through time he became such a popular
attraction that people would challenge him just to make a name for themselves.
