i believe his fan base mostly has guys in it cause alota girls basically listen to mainstream music anything from lil wayne to talor swift, they'll rock to what ever they like while most guys actually LISTEN to words and realte to songs on a different level.girls probably digg eminem based on his looks but guys will probably realate to his upbringing or his lyrical abilities
As a female, I can agree with the first part of your comment, but the second part about girls not listening to the words or relating is bias. Everybody is different, I can't relate to everything he says, but I do have an acoholic, drug-addicted, prostitute, and homeless mother. But I feel his lyrics, he has music for everything, if you want angry music, you get it, if you want something emotional you get it, if you want something funny or contriversal you get it. Trust me, girls do listen to the music. I listen to a little bit of everything, but I always try to find music I can relate to, that's the main thing I look for besides talent, etc...
