Eminem
He set the new rules for upcoming rappers by not selling out and always remaining himself throughout his career. He won his first Grammy back in 2000 for Best Rap Performance for the single, “My Name Is” and caused a stir when he made homophobic comments towards the gay community. The organization GLADD boycotted the award show for having the Detroit native as the performer on the show. But Eminem ended up performing with legendary singer Elton Jon the song, “Stan”.
