In the other names, it could be beneficial to mention Cinderella Man, a self given nickname from the song Cinderella Man on his album Recovery, he also has the self given nickname Rap God (from the song Rap God on the Marshall Mathers LP 2).

I have looked over the article, but nowhere I have seen has mentioned Eminem ( Marshal Bruce Mathers III ) being in Fortnite. I believe we should add this. I may have just missed it, And if so, I apologise for the waste of time. Josh.D.Mullins (talk) 10:41, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Since Em has done now like 2-3 shows, I think it should have it's own dedicated page as well as mentioned in the "Tours" section. While it isn't defined as a tour, the shows he has done and scheduled for may as well be considered as a tour. AustinVD (talk) 07:49, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: I don't think his mother's date of death is particularly important to include in the article on Eminem himself. If it were, however, it would require a reliable source. PianoDan (talk) 00:07, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In light of the disruptive edits being made to this page regarding the longstanding text that Eminem "is regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time," I'd like to present the following references that back this up. Rolling Stone has listed him as the 83rd greatest musician (not just rapper) of all time [1]. Billboard placed him at number three on their list of all time greatest rappers [2] (this was done in partnership with Vibe, a separate magazine). Complex named him the greatest rapper alive in the year 2002 [3]. He was the tenth rapper inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame [4] (see also their page on him [5]). The claim that he is regarded as one of the greatest -- not the greatest -- should not be controversial. ~~ Jessintime (talk) 16:48, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
“ The claim that he is regarded as one of the greatest -- not the greatest -- should not be controversial.” is an opinion. All of the above source you stated only Billboard says he is the third greatest rapper. Read mos:WEASEL to see why your edit was reverted Phạm Huy Thông (talk) 16:53, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
