Publisher's summary

The celebrated story of how Marshall Mathers went from school and low-paid jobs in his native Detroit to global superstardom, rehab and comeback. Nick Hasted’s revealing account also looks back at Eminem's most important relationships -with his mother, his teenage soul-mate Kim Scott, producer Dr. Dre and The Bass Brothers who guided and inspired him from the age of fourteen.

En-n-me

Much of the story comes from television and magazine interviews. It's a good starting source for anyone interested in learning about what others have written about Eminem and not necessarily Marshall Mathews.

A deeper informative look into the life of the entertainer many have grown to love.

As a fan that has followed Eminem for a long time I got to learn about sides of the artist I hadn’t heard anywhere else , the man behind the mask & the many struggles he went to get to where he is at. A inspiration to all artist musicians & everyday people alike.

It’s not just about Em

Marshall is trying to tell the world to stand up for what you believe in! Shit will get thrown in your face and you will lose some close people that you love and will even be in a relationship that is very toxic but learn from it and grow and mature. Life is a game, a test, to see if you had everything you ever wanted, would you use it for greatness or for complete destruction… we all have our own paths and choices that we each are blessed with, make the most out of whatever it is, no matter how dark or grim things may seem but whatever you do!!! DO NOT GIVE UP!!! God works in mysterious ways so he will push you, inspire you, shame you, cripple you, knock you on your ass and then lift you up! And you start to realize that everything happens for a reason! GodPlanHeDoesntMakeMistakes! Sincerely yours, Marcus Mathers Leone

Thank you for sharing, I hadn't hear Kamacazzi yet, could see how you lost yourself being white in a black man's world. Thanks

I enjoyed this. Brought light to a rough life. I’m glad he is doing what’s best for himself.
