Eminem Ringtones for Mobile Phones
Marshall Mathers, more popular as Eminem, started rapping as a teenager in Detroit, Michigan. His self-produced recording "The slim shady EP" soon paid the attention of famed rapper and producer Dr Dre on this white rapper and he helped Eminem produce "The slim shady LP". The new record in 1999 made Eminem a radio and video superstar, with a reputation as a white rapper who was not afraid to be vulgar. His fame was only heightened by some troubles with the law and legal battles with this mother and his wife. Meanwhile, he married his high school sweetheart - Kimberly Scott, in 1999. They were divorced in 2001, then remarried briefly in 2006. Eminem released the best-selling "The Eminem show" in 2002 and also starred in the Curtis Hanson movie "8 mile", a drama loosely based on his early life in Detroit. In 2003 Eminem became the first rapper to win an Oscar - for the song "Lose yourself", from the same movie. He released another greatest hits album in 2005 titled "Curtain call" and performed with D12 on the hits "My band" and "How come". In 2006 he and Akon had again new interesting top-ten hit "Smack That". Enter Interscope Records manager Jimmy Iovine, who was impressed by the fresh and bold style of Eminem approached the struggling rapper after seeing him take second place in the freestyle category at Rap Olympics in 1997. Iovine later played a short demo tape of the artist especially for super-producer and former Death Row Records chief and NWA member Dr Dre, who immediately liked what he heard, contacted Eminem, and started a fruitful creative partnership with him that exists to this day. It is already known today that they both recorded the first big hit single of Eminem, "My name is", only within an hour after their first meeting. Interscope quickly signed Mathers, and Dre produced his major-label debut album, "The slim shady LP", which was appeared on the market in February 1999 to both massive acclaim and derision, and soon occurred to be triple-platinum. The next record, "Marshall Mathers LP" in 2000, was an even bigger phenomenon, selling almost 2 million copies in its first week of release alone, and thus become the fastest-selling hip-hop album of all time.
