4. Eminem
We all know there’s just one real Slim Shady, but that’s precisely what makes him so easy to portray!
Detroit-born rapper Marshal Mathers (aka “Slim Shady”) ranks 4th in our list of easiest celebrities to impersonate. He is primarily known for being an ingenious and talented artist you should never take advice from, and remaining a professional agitator. In the early 00’s Marshal’s fame went through the roof owing to his fiercely outspoken lyrics and controversial attitude. Of course, being the first white rapper had a lot to do with it as well, so if you’re a pasty white kid from the burbs who wants to look like a rhyme pro, he’s your best choice. It’s either that or one of the Beastie Boys, who interestingly are not only white, but also Jewish, which makes them double-singular in the rap industry.
Personality trademark: As I previously mentioned, Mr. Shady’s known for his disruptive and all-around “screw-you-attitude”, so curse at everyone and everything, grab your genitals, and flip the bird, flip it all around, do the hokey pokey with that thing. By the way, it doesn’t hurt if you know how to rap like a genius.
Style and clothing: Of course you’ll need the obvious rap-pack (baseball cap, gigantic hoodies and sweatpants, huge sneakers, bling, etc.), but a trademark Eminem aspect is his very shortly cropped platinum blonde hair. Also, I can’t stress this enough, you should probably be white, otherwise you’ll just come off as “rapper”, however racist that may seem.
Props: He once beat up a blow-up doll during a concert, which is as iconic as it is disturbing, so… there’s that. Sometimes he wears a pair of metal, thin framed glasses, which look odd in a rapper, so I think are extremely characteristic.
And now, let’s see the top three easiest celebrities to impersonate.
