Earlier on in his rapping career, Eminem once sang 'I am whatever you say I am.' OK then Eminem, we're saying you're short - and you're right! The ground-breaking rapper is 5 foot 8, so when the real Slim Shady does stand up, it actually isn't all that impressive to look at. We'd never say that to his face, though - he's got a real skill for putting together very effective insults, and making them rhyme.
Even now, approaching 25 years since he first hit the big time, it's still major record industry news when Eminem releases an album, and he'd have no problem selling out a huge arena if he decided to on tour. It's perhaps a surprise that he hasn't done more in the way of acting - as he demonstrated in the semi-biographical film '8 Mile,' he has a definite talent for it, and an audience who would happily pay to see him.
