(More customer reviews)I got Eminem's new book yesterday, and like the rest of his fans, I couldn't wait to read it. The thing that impressed me most about this book were the many high-quality pictures in it. They are better than the ones of him in magazines or any other press-related items, and they are more personal. For instance, there are ones from the European Slim Shady tour, his video shoots, and other concerts. Eminem wrote the book basically to showcase his song lyrics and to give a short summary on what he was thinking with each song, where he wrote it, and the actual song process in the studio and otherwise. It gives the reader insight on Eminem's work ethics, his studio experience, and how this brilliant emcee writes. His utter concentration and perfection for his work is the number one thing you will get from this book. YOu'll also realize that beyond all the media hoopla,negative press,and his own slapstick sarcasm and wit, there is the music of an artist trying to express what goes on in his head. Eminem doesn't get VERY personal with the reader, as let's say one of his Rolling Stone interviews, but he does touch on his hard life and the struggles he went through. The book is more about "what makes him tick," musically,as he puts it best in the introduction. I'd recommend this book to the true Eminem fan or Hip-Hop fan who wants to know what it is like to think up some phat rhymes and beats, maybe first in the form of a catchy hook, and then actually take it into the studio to create a song. This book, in essence, is the biography about each one of his songs. Also included, are some bonus works, such as freestyles he did on college radio stations and songs that didn't make it off the cutting room table to be added to his albums. Eminem gives you what no journalist focuses on enough: the music and the genius process behind it.

A glimpse at the real Slim Shady and his music. Rap superstar Eminem's uncensored lyrics are offered here to the reader complete with personal commentary on each controversial song. The book sheds light on the hugely controversial persona of Eminem, whilst discussing his songs and their relevance to him. Much controversy has surrounded the release of Eminem's latest album "Marshall Mathers", and now he wants to set the record straight. Featuring all the lyrics to his solo hits and some from his guest appearances, "Angry Blonde" provides a no-holds barred look into the mind of hip-hop's latest genius. Eminem has become the living embodiment of rebel youth in the USA. "The Slim Shady" LP, released in 1999, went on to sell over 4 million copies world-wide, spawning hits such as "Guilty Conscience" and the anthemic "My Name Is". Filled with songs that addressed everything from rape and drugs to murder, it's not surprising that the Grammy Award-winning album failed to find favour with the moral majority.
