Eminem’s home life was seldom stable; he frequently fought with his mother, whom a social worker described as having a “very suspicious, almost paranoid personality”. When her son became famous, Debbie was unimpressed by suggestions that she was a less-than-ideal mother, contending that she sheltered him and was responsible for his success. In 1987, Debbie allowed runaway Kimberly Anne “Kim” Scott to stay at their home; several years later, Eminem began an on-and-off relationship with Scott. After spending three years in ninth grade due to truancy and poor grades, he dropped out of Lincoln High School at age 17. Although he was interested in English, he never explored literature (preferring comic books) and disliked math and social studies. Eminem worked at several jobs to help his mother pay the bills, later maintaining that she often threw him out of the house anyway, often after taking most of his paycheck. When she left to play bingo, he would blast the stereo and write songs.
After he was evicted from his home, Eminem went to Los Angeles to compete in the 1997 Rap Olympics, an annual, nationwide battle rap competition. He placed second, and an Interscope Records intern in attendance called Dean Geistlinger asked Eminem for a copy of the Slim Shady EP, which was then sent to company CEO Jimmy Iovine. Iovine played the tape for record producer Dr. Dre, founder of Aftermath Entertainment and founding member of hip-hop group N.W.A. Dre recalled, “In my entire career in the music industry, I have never found anything from a demo tape or a CD. When Jimmy played this, I said, ‘Find him. Now.'” He would later state on the fourth & last episode of The Defiant Ones, “I was like: what the fuck!?, and who the fuck is that?” expressing his shock towards Mathers’ rapping talent. Although his associates criticized him for hiring a white rapper, he was confident in his decision: “I don’t give a fuck if you’re purple; if you can kick it, I’m working with you.” Eminem had idolized Dre since listening to N.W.A. as a teenager, and was nervous about working with him on an album: “I didn’t want to be starstruck or kiss his ass too much…I’m just a little white boy from Detroit. I had never seen stars let alone Dr. Dre.” He became more comfortable working with Dre after a series of productive recording sessions.
