Hello friend, and welcome to my first video essay on Substack!
Did Eminem kill the American Dream or just expose it? This video essay unpacks how Marshall Mathers’ rise—from 8 Mile to Rap God—reveals the cost of chasing success in America. His story tells us more about ambition, fame, and disillusionment than any self-help book ever could. Be careful what you wish for because sometimes, you might just get it.
