After failing the 9th Grade three consecutive times, Eminem eventually dropped out of high school at the age of 17. He also attended rehab multiple times for pill addiction before he finally got clean. Accolades such as 15 Grammys, an Oscar, 15 EMAs, 11 VMAs, and over a hundred million records sold worldwide despite his difficult upbringing shows how far he’s come. Let it be noted that after he says he’s a school flunkie that he uses a word like “brung” (purposely) which is a non-standard English dialect variant . Brought is correct and considered the standard.
