In my opinion, thugmaxxing is one of the best niches to shoot for. Who doesn't love a bad boy, and a thug is the ultimate bad boy. But thugmaxxing is generally harder for white men due to looking like you try too hard. So, I will present the ultimate white thugmax icon, which happens to be Prime Eminem (1999 - ~2007)
Clothing:
Prime Eminem's fashion varied a little bit, including but not limited to:
Piercings:
Eminem was never known to rock any sort of piercings besides some hoop earrings early in his career
Tattoos:
Eminem has full tattoos sleeves on both arms + a stomach tattoo. For bonus points, to soften you up just a little bit, get a tattoo of something meaningful and significant, like a photo of your daughter and/or a matching tattoo of your best friends tattoo
Hair:
During his prime, Eminem rocked a bleach blonde ceasar cut/buzzcut, however in the movie 8 Mile, he briefly shed the blonde hair to go back to his natural dark brunette hair
Eye Color Frauding:
Eminem has naturally hazel eyes but frauds blue eyes with contact lenses; he has been known to wear glasses so his intention is probably not to fraud but rather help see things, but don't let this stop you from frauding!
Clothing Brands:
List of clothing brands Eminem was known to rock: Nike, Jordan, Phat Farm, Ecko, Kangol, Rolex, his own clothing brand at the time: Shady Limited, etc.
Jewelry:
Eminem normal didn't wearing anything super blingy or flashy like other rappers during his prime, sometimes a watch (like a Rolex) or bracelet, an occasional steal necklace, and after his best friend Proof died in 2006, a matching chain like he had of the letter P
Considerations:
Clothing:
Prime Eminem's fashion varied a little bit, including but not limited to:
- Wife beaters (white tank tops) and white t-shirts
- Baggy jeans and sweatpants
- Durags
- His iconic grey sweatshirt
- Baseball caps with curved brims, beanies, stocking caps, and even the occasional bucket hat
- Full tracksuits, both short and long-sleeved, including the occasional velour tracksuit

Considerations:
- Eminem is highly respected for his street cred and within the industry, so he was able to get away with things that white men weren't, and probably still aren't, able to get away with
- In 2002, when he released his best selling album, The Eminem Show, and his blockbuster film 8 Mile (plus the 8 Mile Soundtrack), he successfully softened his public image just a tad to appeal to the masses (he was also on probation and by extension sober during this time) and was arguably a pretty boy at times
