I have been a huge fan for about 2 years. I also wish I could turn back time. All the interviews I missed all the mags I dont have because I hadnt discovered Eminem yet. Sucks because when he was out there more doing more things I was listening to country music (i know it sucks but I was young). Now that I have discovered him I had to go back and get all his music from before.

Since the "8 Mile era."
When I first heard him I thought he was the strangest rapper I had ever heard- I don't think I even considered what he doing as rap; of course, I only heard him on mainstream pop radio at the time. Then I heard he was white and thought "oh great, another vanilla ice, rapper wanna be, sent here to embarass caucasians all over again." I was also a collegiate feminist at the time and bought into all the hype about him being a homophobe and a misogynist- still hadn't heard all his stuff though so how hypocritical was I being? Then MMLP came out with "The Real Slim Shady" and I thought "when is he going to go away? Wasn't he just a flash in the pan curiosity?"
He kind of fell of the map for me at the time, but he was all over MTV and VH1 then, so I was able to keep up with what he was doing.
Then I heard that he was putting out an autobiographical movie- I couldn't believe it!I thought, "of all the self promoting, arrogant assholes. Who does he think he is that anyone would care about his life?!" I didn't realize at the time that he was becoming almost iconic. But still, whenever he came on the radio i would find myself rapping along (as well as I could); of course, when I caught myself I would immediately change the station- no self respecting woman would listen to him, right?
So when it came out I went to see it expecting some sort of documentary: like this is where I grew up, this is where I first performed, etc.-
and I couldn't have been more wrong.
I sat in the movie theater and was absolutely blown away; he won me over not as a rapper but as an actor (that's why I hope the movie rumors are true).
I went out the next day and bought everything that he had put out up until that time (minus mixtapes and Infinite) and listened to everything in one afternoon.
I've been hooked ever since.
The highlight so far for me has been attending AM3 at Nissan Pavilion in VA. I was in the pit right in front of the stage.

2002, not gonna lie, I was like 12/13, when he came out to mainstream in 99(18 now). It was around the time Lose Yourself came out, can't lie.
