Eminem started rapping at the young age of 14. At that time, he went by his name’s initials “M&M.” It’s unknown when his name changed from M&M to Eminem, but we’re glad it did.
In 2000, Eminem released another album under Dr. Dre’s record label, the Marshall Mathers LP, which sold 21 million copies. His next release had over 27 million album sales.
Eminem was so impressed with 50 Cent that he signed him as the first solo artist on Shady Records. It didn’t take long for him to release his debut album, which had around 14 million album sales.
