He is well-known for his ability to adjust vocal pace and style multiple times without losing the beat. His style is also considered a great example of lyrical hip-hop which employs complex rhyme schemes and meter - though his critics claim that his lyrics incite violence and are homophobic and misogynistic in nature.
In 2006, Eminem was recognized as the biggest-selling artist of the year. He had already been named as the second most-powerful personality on the planet in 2003.
