That was 13 years ago, and since then, Marshall Mathers has lived a life full of accomplishments and accolades as well as triumphs and tribulations. He's released seven albums, created a successful record label with Shady Records and earned a title as one of the best-selling music artists in the world.

On his born day, The BoomBox takes a look back at some of his crazy career moments -- both good and bad. After all, these are the memories that make the man.
