Artist related to Grendel?

Tyler Okonma, better known by his stage name, Tyler, the Creator, is a rapper raised in LA. Growing up as a kid, he had no father because his father left him and his mother when he was born. This song, which is called Inglorious, pretty much talks about Tyler's father leaving him and how mad he had been as a kid. In the beginning of the song Tyler quotes: "My father died the day I came out of my mothers whole and put the burden on my soul until I was old enough to understand that the fucking faggot didn't like me much he loved my moms enough to bust a nut and then he shake Junt." This tells you that Tyler's dad didn't want to take the responsibility of having a baby and taking care of it. This makes Tyler, the Creator similar to Grendel because in the story, Grendel never had a father and it was just him and his mom. It also made Grendel a little mad that he didn't have a father. 




Eminem is also the same as Grendel in a way in which he never really had a father as well. Two other ways he is the same as Grendel is him with other people. Eminem is one of the best rappers to ever live so not only does he think he is above everyone else, he is above most of them, just like Grendel and how he thinks any creature or human being is below him. The other way he is the same as Grendel is that he doesn't care what people think about him, which is clearly portrayed in the song above which is called The Way I Am. In the chorus of the song Eminem quotes: "I am whatever you say I am", in a very angry tone so it seems as if he is confident in who he is, just like Grendel.
