Favorite Music Artists

My favorite type of music is Rap. My favorite artist for rap is either Lil Wayne or Eminem. They are my favorite, because they both tell it how it is in life. They both have gone through a lot when they were little. Lil Wayne didn’t have a dad too look up to when they were younger. Wayne grew up in New Orleans in a bad area where crime rate was at a high rate at the time.  Wayne was smart in school. He was an “A” student.  Wayne started to become a public rapper at the age of 11. By the age of 14 he was signed by Mannie Fresh. He was in music videos with Juvenile by the age of 16 and sold his first album called, “Tha Block Is Hot”. After that Lil Wayne became a superstar. He made millions. When he sold all of the “Tha Carter” albums, people said that he was the best rapper alive. Eminem, also known as Marshall Mathers was raised in Detroit, Michigan. He grew up fatherless and grew up in a bad area like Wayne. Eminem would change schools 2 or 3 times a year on average when he was a child. Eminem was bullied when he was a kid. He was beat up and shoved into lockers constantly. Eminem eventually ended up dropping out of school at the age of 17 after he failed ninth grade 3 times. A few years later down the road, he frequently became part of rap battles in Detroit. He later got married to Kim Scott and had a girl named Haliey Scott.  Eminem sold his first album in 1996 called “Infinite”. Eminem was later discovered by Dr. Dre. Dre was one of the best rappers of his time when he was with N.W.A. He later produced Eminem’s albums and preformed with him. Eminem became a star. He was known as the best white rapper of all time. Eminem and Lil Wayne are my favorite artists, because they started form rags to riches. They show that you could do anything if you put your mind to it.
