By Graham McKenzie

No master of rap or hip hop reached the top of the genre as fast as the amazingly prolific Eminem. Born in Detroit, Michigan, raised in a fatherless home, Eminem developed a talent for rap that is rivaled by few if any peers in the industry. Releasing half a dozen different albums in five years at the peak of his career, starting with his Slim Shady LP, Eminem developed a cult following around the world as the best there is in rap. Millions of people still search for his tracks on the Internet and try to get his music for free.

As fans know, Eminem reached the heights of stardom in just a few years, and chose to become semi-retired in 2004. Even so, his tunes continue to sell and he is wildly popular among rap fans of all ages. That's why it is no surprise that his music can be found on iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, and Connect right with the most popular rappers in the world. Finding the same tracks for free, however, is a little harder.

To begin your search for cost-free tracks of Eminem tunes, look at sites that promote free listening. One such site is Last.fm, which runs streaming music from the radio alongside the ads that pay for it. Another place to look is MySpace profiles that permit free replay. With a little effort, you can find videos of all of Eminem's singles, more than 20 tracks, on YouTube and Yahoo! Music, as well as MTV. Any site that provides streaming music, streaming video, or streaming radio is likely to provide Eminem along many other performing artists.

You can also find Eminem's music on services that provide direct access to a library of songs for a single monthly fee. These sites allow you to listen to music on your computer or your portable listening device anywhere in the world. Downloads are free after the first time you listen. These services respect copyright and offer numerous options. You can find over one hundred tracks of Eminem, as well as other musicians he has recommended.

Eminem fans everywhere know that there are few if any artists who "are" rap like Eminem. So, look to the Internet to find his music. Any site that links you to databases of music and video will have Eminem available for you. - 15615
