Eminem: Some of the inspirational life quotes by the Rap King
Eminem's life story is not a mystery. He has always showed his struggle through his songs. We look back to some of his major quotes that inspired many.
Marshall Mathers, popularly known by his stage name, Eminem, is an American rapper. He is one of the best-sellers in the industry. Eminem was once a troubled child and had to leave school to tend for himself. According to reports, Eminem worked with below-average pay and had to do odd jobs to live through the day. In an interview with a publication, Eminem said that he believes in himself. Today Eminem has beaten all the odds and is a legendary musician. Some of his quotes are indeed an inspiration for many.
Here is a list of best quotes by Eminem:
Eminem talking about motivation and achieving one’s goal-
“If people take anything from my music, it should be motivation to know that anything is possible as long as you keep working at it and don’t back down.”
Eminem said this in an interview while answering a question about change and his successful life-
“People can try to reinvent themselves. I don’t think you can really change who you are, though, because who you are is pretty much where you came from and what you’ve done up to now.”
Eminem said these motivating words when he was talking about failures and learning from it-
“You gotta find that inner strength and just pull bad out of you. And get that motivation to not give up and not be a quitter, no matter how bad you wanna just fall on your face and collapse.”
According to an interview to a publication, Eminem spoke about how he writes his own music with extensive vocabulary that he learned from a dictionary-
The writing process, the way I go about it is I do whatever the beat feels like, whatever the beat is telling me to do. Usually, when the beat comes on, I think of a hook or the subject I want to rap about almost instantly. Within four, eight bars of it playing I’m just like, ‘Oh, OK. This is what I wanna do’.”
In the following quote, Eminem stresses about being yourself:
“I do say things that I think will shock people. But I don’t do things to shock people. I’m not trying to be the next Tupac, but I don’t know how long I’m going to be on this planet. So while I’m here, I might as well make the most of it.”
