****************************************************************************************
Eminem's fanbase has reached absolutely every corner of the world and his fanbase has been increasing since the day one. People have been giving their 2 cents on his popularity based off the experience they have with Em's music and it comes across ignorant for the most part.
what actually brought all these millions of people together? people who share different cultures, different languages found a way to relate to this white kid that rose from the depths of poverty in Detroit? was it cuz Dre produced for him? or cuz he was simply White? :D haha
Em didn't live the life of millions ,all he did was share his story the most rawest manner in a remarkable way and millions of fans could see themselves in Em since certain obstacles in life goes beyond social norms, language barricades and especially beyond the skin color.
Let me use 6 songs and explain how one might have found some relatability in them and these are just my opinions and feel free to give urs too :)
I chose 6 songs top off my head and obvsly there are tons of songs that would complement this thread.

Legacy
the heartfelt delivery and the content of this song play a major role with this touching millions of people in a profound way. This track is about teenage Em, growing up in his turbulent household and struggling with his own thoughts between poverty and hopelessness
as the song continues, his confidence in himself gradually increases with arrival of hip hop in his life.

''cuz sporadic as my thoughts come, it's mind boggling"
Déjà vu

Ever had a loved one that was struggling with an addiction and u wished if there was a way to understand them better?? In this song, Em opens the door into his addiction and shows the lengths he went to justify his negligence of himself and his well being.

Not Afraid.

the song is simply about him taking a stand against his drug addiction and approaching life in a better and a strong perception than he did before
Guts over fear

One of those songs where Em decides to address his fans eye to eye. This is just Marshall Mathers trying to speak to the people who have gone through or going through something similar to his story and trying to remind them something he had gained through time.
this is Em's way of saying “ hey there, ofc Music will always help us to propel through dark days but hey, this is your life. Keep moving forward, believe in yourself cuz that’s what I did when nobody did and don't forget to eat their faces off meanwhile”
Headlights

Eminem’s rocky relationship with his mom is no secret to anyone. He decides to finally close that broken chapter with her and comes to the realization of Debbie’s actions being a result of the environment she was placed under.
This reminds us that there are times where we forget the importance of the parents/parent's and might fail to see that most of the time they are doing their best to provide their kids while dealing with their own struggles behind the curtains.

"We're in the same fuckin' boat"
Beautiful Pain

one of the most positive and uplifting songs to ever grace the earth and Em delivers a passionate 2 verses encapsulating the pain that one has to go in order to have a beautiful ending.

it's just flawless
