Shakespeare, believe it or not, used a large amount of slang and a little foul language, and even developed some of his own words and phrases. Many of the elders did not like or support Shakespeare for this reason. Many of the people his age and younger liked him for this characteristic. I believe that's similar to Eminem. A lot of the kids starting to become acquainted with the music world think he's cool because he cusses and stuff, same thing happened with Shakespeare's work.
Another similarity is that Eminem writes a lot about his own life and his struggles along the way. It's believed that some of Shakespeares writings are actually about his own life, and some of his fantasies.
The main DIFFERENCE I see between these two artists is that Eminem is somewhat of a homophobe, at least he comes off as one, and Shakespeare was bisexual.
None of us will know what turns out of all this. Most of Shakespeare's writings weren't even published until a decent while after he was dead.
