アメリカのヒップホップMC、プロデューサー。
本名は、「マーシャル・ブルース・マザーズ3世」。
エミネムというステージネームは、本名のイニシャル「M&M」を早口にしたら「Eminem」になったというものが由来とされる。

シングル「ノット・アフレイド」と、リアーナとのフューチャリング曲「ラヴ・ザ・ウェイ・ユー・ライ」で、デジタル・ダイアモンド・アワードを二つ勝ち取った史上初のアーティストだと認定された。

アルバムトータルセールス1億枚。 史上最も売れたヒップホップ歌手・ラッパーであり、2000年代の10年間に世界で最もアルバムが売れたアーティストである。

歌詞中にもあるように、彼には実の娘が1人そして養子の娘が2人います。

聞いたところによると、『Love The Way You Lie』のに出てくる、キレやすくかなり暴力的な登場人物とは異なり、彼自身は大変子煩悩の父親らしい。娘たちの躾にも厳しく、特に言葉づかいには大変うるさいとか。

ところで、この曲のミュージックヴィデオの言わんとしていることは理解できるのですが、ヴィデオのなかの彼の描かれ方には疑問が残ります。
残念ながら「やりすぎ感」が漂うんです。

スーパーマンのようにレンガの壁を突き抜けたり、ジェット戦闘機のように空を飛んだりしてますが、ここまで派手でないといけなかったんでしょうか？

もし本当に父親として再出発するつもりなら、もっと地味なヴィデオでも十分だったし、むしろその方がずっと良かったのではと思います。

I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid
To take a stand, to take a stand
(Yeah, it’s been a ride)
Everybody, everybody
(I guess I had to)
Come take my hand, come take my hand
(Go to that place to get to this one)

We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
(Now some of you)
Whatever weather, cold or warm
(Might still in that place)
Just lettin’ you know that, you’re not alone
(If you’re tryin’ to get out)
Holla if you feel like you’ve been down the same road
(Just follow me, I’ll get you there)

You can try and read my lyrics off of this paper before I lay ‘em
But you won’t take the sting out these words before I say ‘em
‘Cause ain’t no way I’ma let you stop me from causing mayhem
When I say I’ma do something, I do it, I don’t give a damn what you think,

I’m doin’ this for me, so fuck the world
Feed it beans, it’s gassed up, if it thinks it’s stopping me
I’ma be what I set out to be, without a doubt, undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me, I’m tearin down your balcony

No if, ands or buts, don’t try to ask him why or how can he
From “Infinite” down to the last “Relapse” album
He’s still shittin, whether he’s on salary, paid hourly
Until he bows out or he shits his bowels out of him

Whichever comes first, for better or worse
He’s married to the game, like a fuck-you for Christmas
His gift is a curse, forget the Earth, he’s got
The urge to pull his dick from the dirt, and fuck the whole universe

I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid
To take a stand, to take a stand
Everybody, everybody
Come take my hand, come take my hand

We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just lettin’ you know that, you’re not alone
Holla if you feel like you’ve been down the same road

Okay, quit playing with the scissors and shit, and cut the crap
I shouldn’t have to rhyme these words in the rhythm for you to know it’s a rap
You said you was the king, you lied through your teeth,
For that fuck your feelings/fillings, instead of getting crowned you’re gettin capped

And to the fans, I’ll never let you down again, I’m back
I promise to never go back on that promise, in fact
Let’s be honest, that last “Relapse” CD was “eh”
Perhaps I ran them accents into the ground*

Relax, I ain’t goin back to that now
All I’m tryin to say is get back, click-clack, pow/blaow
Cause I ain’t playin around, it’s a game called circlin’
I don’t know how, I’m way too up to back down

But I think I’m still tryin to figure this crap out
Thought I had it mapped out but I guess I didn’t,
This fucking black cloud still follows me around
But it’s time to exorcise these demons, these motherfuckers are
doin’ jumpin-jacks now!

I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid
To take a stand, to take a stand
Everybody, everybody
Come take my hand, come take my hand

We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just lettin’ you know that, you’re not alone
Holla if you feel like you’ve been down the same road

And I just can’t keep living this way
So starting today, I’m breaking out of this cage

I’m standing up, I’ma face my demons
I’m manning up, I’ma hold my ground
I’ve had enough, now I’m so fed up
Time to put my life back together right now! (now)

It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me
Admittedly, I probably did it subliminally for you
So I could come back a brand new me you helped see me through
And don’t even realize what you did, believe me you

I’ve been through the ringer, but take it through little to the middle finger
I think I got a tear in my eye, I feel like the king of
my world, haters can make like bees with no stingers
And drop dead, no more beef flingers

No more drama from now on, I promise to only focus
On handlin’ my responsibilities as a father
So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof, like my daughters
And raise it, you couldn’t lift a single shingle on it!

‘Cause the way I feel, I’m strong enough to go to the club
Or the corner pub, and lift the whole liquor counter up
‘Cause I’m raising the bar, I shoot for the moon
But I’m too busy gazin’ at stars I feel amazing

And I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid
To take a stand, to take a stand
Everybody, everybody
Come take my hand, come take my hand

We’ll walk this road together, through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just lettin’ you know that, you’re not alone
Holla if you feel like you’ve been down the same road
