Some guidelines on editing
Considering myself to be a resident rap fan here and having experience writing similar articles, I can give you some advice on how to approach in expanding this article. First have a look on other articles about musicians, especially the few other rap articles the site has, which should give you a fair idea how the page should look like. Articles in Category:Entertainers may also be good to check out. If you want to write an article that is remotely interesting to read you should go on a evidence collection hunt, which means either I should have mentioned in the beginning that you need to write down notes while doing all of the above which means keeping track of outrageous comments, contradictions, beliefs, ideologies, etc.
 * reading everything your search engine of choice spits out
 * watching all interviews you can find on YouTube and
 * lastly which is in my opinion very important for Musician articles, read all lyrics from said artist (an archive for Eminem can be found here].

What's not so important is to have a biography or discography section. People don't come to RW for that as they already have Wikipedia as a general resource, we don't seek to compete with that encyclopedia on that front. Biographies can still be good inclusions when you can point out interesting tidbits. However this needs to be heavily sourced to prevent legal issues.

The image you used from Wikimedia Commons should be changed into one where we know that is definitely for free use. The promotional image is questionable at best. One which would be good is one where he performs which has been taken from and uploaded by a fan for free use. The pictures on the Wikipedia article usually already meat these standards.

As for Eminem, let's give you some topics to research: his misogyny, homophobia and drug woo would be interesting topics to cover for the time being. Have fun while experimenting. 13:01, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
