When I'm Gone,
A protégé of Dr. Dre, rapper Eminem emerged in 1999 as one of the
most controversial rappers to ever grace the genre. Using his biting wit and incredible
skills to vent on everything from his unhappy childhood to his contempt for the
mainstream media, his success became the biggest crossover success the genre had
seen since Dre's solo debut seven years earlier. The controversy over his lyrics
was the best publicity any musician could afford, and being the first Caucasian
rapper to make a significant impact in years may have given him a platform not
afforded to equally talented African-American rappers. A gifted producer as well,
his talents always seemed overshadowed by his media presence, which was a mix
between misunderstood genius and misogynistic homophobe. Both may be true, but
his message spoke to legions of disaffected youth who had few role models in the
rap world who could relate to the white lower-class experience.
