Eminem, one of the biggest acts in the hip-hop community has dug himself out of the trenches of 8 Mile Road in Detroit, Michigan to a lifestyle of milk and honey that any and everyone wishes to live and experience. Eminem is arguably the most skilled emcee to walk the planet but has had some questionable artistic direction and projects as of recent. That still doesn't stop the fact that he starred in one of the biggest music-based films of all-time in 8 Mile, which many assumed was an autobiography but was really just a well-written fictional story about his childhood hometown area.
Eminem also shares a look-a-like with Roman emperor, Severus Alexander, who was the last emperor of the Severan dynasty after he was assassinated which sparked a collapse in the empire's economy, foreign invasions, and five decades of civil wars. Eminem might have a dark history but at least he didn't have to go what Severus went through and he'll be honored as one of the greatest to ever touch a mic.
