Browse piano sheets by Eminem on Zen Virtual Piano. “Lose Yourself” was written on the 8 Mile film set between takes and recorded in a special mobile studio set up in a spare courtesy trailer, and it became the most decorated single of Eminem’s career so far. It was nominated for five Grammys at the 46th Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year and Record of the Year, with Eminem taking home two for Best Male Rap Solo Performance and Best Rap Song. A song written between takes and recorded in a trailer carries the sense of a record made in whatever time and space were at hand. Eminem is an American rapper, record producer and actor, born on 17 October 1972. At age 14 he began rapping in clubs in Detroit, and when unexcused absences kept him in the ninth grade for the third year, he quit school, determined to make it in hip-hop music. Leaving school and starting in clubs at 14 gives the story an early, single-minded start. His first album, Infinite (1996), sold poorly, and he continued to work menial jobs. A first album that sold poorly while he kept working menial jobs makes the later breakthrough a notable turn. When he placed second in the freestyle category at the 1997 Rap Olympics in Los Angeles, he came to the attention of Dr. Dre, the head of Aftermath Entertainment, and by then he had developed the persona of the inhibitionless Slim Shady. A second-place freestyle finish that opened a door shows how a contest result can matter more than its placing. He began his career in Detroit’s underground rap scene and gained fame with his first studio album, The Slim Shady LP, in 1999. Eminem has said that no matter how bad he was at school, and no matter how low his grades might have been at times, he was always good at English, and that he wanted to have all of those words at his disposal, in his vocabulary at all times, whenever he needed to pull them out. In 2024 he released The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), a concept album in which he delivered the death blow to his infamous alter ego. A rapper who prized having words at his disposal ended a persona by writing it an ending.
