Michael Mathers The Ultimate Eminem Tribute

A tribute show devoted to the rap music of Eminem, presented by the act Michael Mathers The Ultimate Eminem Tribute at Basing House in Shoreditch, London.

This is a tribute act, not Eminem himself: the performer appears under the name Michael Mathers The Ultimate Eminem Tribute and builds the evening around the repertoire of the Detroit rapper Eminem, one of the best-selling and most influential figures in hip-hop. The programme draws on the rap tradition of storytelling, fast delivery and confessional lyrics that Eminem brought to mainstream audiences from the late 1990s onwards.

The show is a rap concert in the sense of the genre: the focus is on the words, the rhythm and the energy of the songs associated with the original artist. The act is presented as a live tribute, so the emphasis is on performing existing material rather than new music. Several dates are scheduled during the season, so it may suit fans of Eminem who want to hear his catalogue performed in a live setting.

Basing House is a concert venue at 25 Kingsland Road in Shoreditch, east London, and the evening suits listeners who follow rap and hip-hop and who enjoy hearing classic tracks performed live.
