Liner Note Playlist

It was extremely hard to choose the songs I wanted to write my liner notes on because I have a plethora of Eminem tracks in my iTunes library, all of which I am obsessed with. After much deliberation and any many tears, I've decided upon these three masterpieces:

1. Sing for the Moment 
• Album: The Eminem Show 
• Recorded: November 2001
• Release Date: February 25, 2003
2. Brain Damage 
• Album: The Eminem Show
• Recorded: 1997/1998
• Release Date: February 23, 1999
3. Stan
• Album: The Marshall Mathers LP
• Recorded: November 1999
• Release Date: March 15, 2002

In my liner notes I hope to examine these three main topics:

1. Childhood Influences: I would like to go into some detail about how Eminem's childhood environment influenced his work as an artist. For example, I want to make readers understand how this rap legend was able to take his mistreatment as a child and transform it into the inspiration for his songs. 

2. Race: Eminem is one of the few white artists who was and is still currently able to dominate the predominately Black art form of rap. I would like to address how his unique background affects his lyrical style and how he was able to find his niche in this seemingly "untouched" territory. 

3. Fame: Coming from an extremely poor family, Eminem's rise to fame introduced to him an entirely new lifestyle. I think it would be interesting to pinpoint the affects fame has had on the rapper, as expressed through his songs.
