does eminem matter?
On assignment for his first cover story for Rolling Stone, the very
first national cover story on Eminem, Anthony Bozza met a young
blond kid, a rapper who would soon take the country by storm. But
back in 1999, Eminem was just beginning to make waves among
suburban white teenagers as his first single, "My Name Is," went
into heavy rotation on MTV.
Who could have predicted that in a mere two years, Eminem would
become the most reviled and controversial hip-hop figure ever? Or
that twelve months after that, Eminem would sit firmly at the
pinnacle of American celebrity, a Grammy winner many times over and
the recipient of an Oscar.
did eminem change or did america finally figure him out?
Whatever You Say I Am attempts to answer this question and many
more. Since their first meeting, Bozza has been given a level of
access to Eminem that no other journalist has enjoyed. In Whatever
You Say I Am, original, never-before-published text from Bozza's
interviews with Eminem are combined with the insight of numerous
hip-hop figures, music critics, journalists, and members of the
Eminem camp to look behind the mask of this enigmatic celebrity.
With an eye toward Eminem's place in American popular culture,
Bozza creates a thoughtful portrait of one of the most successful
artists of our time. This is so much more than a biography of a
thoroughly well-documented life. It is a close-up look at a
conflicted figure who has somehow spoken to the heart of America.
