Eminem (1972)
Talented lyricist and legendary entertainer Eminem is known for being a very adaptable musician. Although he has somehow retired from the public eye today and performs less often than he used to, we all remember Eminem's unique persona when he was more active on the scene.
He was able to bring forth controversial topics with a humorous take and ruffle some feathers in a very original way. It is these very unique traits that have made him famous all over the world, and a very successful artist today. Here, we can see the rat's talent, wit and flexibility, but also its likelihood to be hot-tempered.
