Eminem: Interscope Records
built 142 days ago
Eminem was the big story at the February 2001 Grammy Awards. Nominated for four Grammys, he won three. For Eminem's supporters, a large part of his appeal lies in his sarcasm and blurring of truth and fiction; it's difficult to discern his real intent from his jester-like, acerbic wit and the multiple personas he adopts. On the day of the Grammy event, music critic Jon Pareles wrote in The New York Times: "Unlike many of his detractors, Eminem regularly makes a distinction between words and action....Meanwhile, the music connotes comedy: bouncy keyboard lines, whiz-crunch sound effects. Eminem leaves it to listeners to separate his Grand Guignol humor from his position statements, and so far, the fans may be better literary analysts than the horrified adults...." And Michael Greene, the head of NARAS, the organization bestowing the Grammy Awards, and Jimmy Iovine, head of Eminem's label, Interscope Records, feel Eminem represents today's voice of rebellion and ... is similar to gifted rebels of previous eras.

Rap star Eminem was sentenced to two years' probation for carrying a concealed weapon. The charge carried a maximum sentence of five years in prison, although Macomb County Prosecutor Carl Marlinga said earlier that he would seek no more than six months "because he has no record and there was no serious injury."
