Eminem has been public and stated that he had a relationship with pop diva, Mariah Carey, but Mariah denies these allegations. Eminem has referred to his 'sexual' relationship with Mariah in a number of his songs including 'Superman' off of 'The Eminem Show'. There is no confirmed answer to this question PERIOD. And Mariah could've gone out with Eminem in 2001 because Eminem was married to Kim at the time.

How music artist record music?

Many solo artists take their spare riffs and beats and put em all together to make music. Some focuss strictly on solo stuff. Many are succesfull. And most of em' also record solo as well. Many better than others. The first step would be the program you use. There are some free ones; Audacidy, and Wave Recording. Some cost a buck or two; Pro Tools, and Fruty Loops. Many use even the better ones, and still have poor sound quality. It could be something major like bad instruments, or it could come down to a short in your mic imput. The first thing you should check, is your mic. You can get a good one at radio shack. but make sure it works properly. You dont want a "airy" sound to it. you want a full sound. (if your looking for alot of digital effects, you should go with Pro tools, or Fruty Loops). you want to record in a room or area that is COMPLETELY quiet. Because you mic will pick up everything. DRUMS. If possible, you should have more that one mic for this, if not then put the mic close to the kick drum. You dont want it to be close to the simbles because you will have a horrible "SHHHHHHHHH". If you still get the "shhhh" then just do your best to tone down abit on the simbles. GUITARS (and bass). If you have some sort of noise supresser (a nessesity if you are using overdrive or distortion), then it is good to have the mic right next to the speaker, but if you dont have one, then put it at a distance so the mic wont pic up all the spare noise. Keyboard. If you like the sound of your keyboard more through a keyboard amp, then its fine to mic the amp. if you dont care, you can mic the keyboard speakers (if you have em). Wind Insteuments. The most important part of recording wind instuments is making sure breaths arent loud enough for the mic to pic up. other than that just record close to the mic and it will be good. non-electric, and acoustic. to get a full bright sound, it will take proper mixing. just record close to the insrument. Mixing and Engineering. This is the MOST IMPORTANT part of recording. There are many different ways of doing this. You can make the music sound completely differnent just my mixing and engineering. It can be Glossy and Bright, or Dull and sharp. Or Both! You cant be told how to mix your project. You have to try the different programs and see witch one is best for your style and genre of music. Youll prolly get the "airy" sound at first. Use a digital "noise remover" in the program. If it doesent completely take it away, then mess around with other effects to get rid of it. But its fun, to make your own music and record it. or record with others. but, the best of luck thanks. if you have any questions email me. sk8sk8nkx@gmail.com

Who influenced Jay-Z's career?

Jaz-O. In his neighborhood, Carter was known as "Jazzy", a nickname that eventually developed into his stage name, "Jay-Z". The moniker is also a homage to his musical mentor Jaz-O (a.k.a. Jaz, Big Jaz) as well as to the J/Z subway lines that have a stop at Marcy Avenue in Brooklyn. Jay-Z can be heard on several of Jaz-O's early recordings in the late 80s and early 90s, including "The Originators" and "Hawaiian Sophie". He also collaborated with Inglewood, California producer Three-1-Zero. His career had a jump start when he battled a rapper by the name of Zai. The battle caught the eye of many record labels, as Jay-Z was able to hold his own against Zai. He also made an appearance on a popular song by Big L, "Da Graveyard", and on Mic Geronimo's "Time to Build", which also featured early appearances by DMX and Ja Rule and Shazim Hasan in 1995. His first official rap single was called "I Can't Get With That" which he also released a music video for.
