11 photos of rappers before they became rich and famous..

5. Eminem

The only white boy on the list; much like him being one of the only (major) white boys in the rap game. In this childhood photo, he’s sporting a flipped out bowl cut, which may be why he’s had his head shaved since he’s been a star.

Eminem has painted a pretty vivid picture of the hardships he’s faced in life through his music. Most of his songs are dedicated to his daughter, Haley, which makes him a pretty endearing character. He hasn’t come out with too many songs lately, but we hope he comes back because he’s one of the most iconic rappers we grew up with.
