"Even thought I don't know a lot about rap music..."

What incredible humility. She doesn't claim expertise in another music genre just because she's at the apex of another.

Such a role model.

What a precious gem that letter is! Eminem's ability to empathise through his lyrics is just unparalleled. And, given the breadth of topics he covered over his career, that empathy "touched" people of all backgrounds. Whether you are a kid getting bullied at school or a super star addicted to fame [1] - Em has you covered!

This is so wholesome. Eminem is a legend on his own right. As a non-american I heard about Eminem before Dolly.

Many people know Eminem has a biological daughter Haile whom he includes in many songs. But he also has 2 adopted children - his ex-wife’s twin’s daughter (referred to as Lainey) and his ex-wife’s biological daughter.

Rest in peace Dolly.

I thought writing a letter to Eminem was a bad idea.

Dear Slim...
