Legacy

About Legacy

The song primarily discusses Eminem's dysfunctional childhood upbringing in Detroit, Michigan. The theme of "Legacy" mirrors "Lose Yourself" in explaining how important music was in directing the young Eminem's life. He cites Queens' hardcore hip hop group Onyx as an example of what he would listen to at the time. The song recounts how shy and awkward Eminem was as a child, even being shoved into a locker in school, and then details how he gained self-esteem and hope through rap. .
