Why Is He Famous?

He has had five extremely successful albums with huge hit songs like "My Name Is," "The Real Slim Shady," "The Way I Am," "Stan," "Without Me," and "Lose Yourself" (from the box-office hit in which he also starred, 8 Mile). Eminem's violent and derogatory lyrics have made him a star among teenagers and a frequent target of activist groups. He's been off the radar for the last few years, thanks to his battle with a sleeping pill addiction, but he's set to release two albums in 2009: Relapse and Relapse 2. Given the ridiculous sales of his past albums, we can only imagine that he'll be sitting in the relapse of luxury.
