Chart topping-and headline-making-rap artist Eminem shares his
private reflections, drawings, handwritten lyrics, and photographs
in his "New York Times" bestseller "The Way I Am"
Fiercely intelligent, relentlessly provocative, and prodigiously
gifted, Eminem is known as much for his enigmatic persona as for
being the fastest-selling rap artist and the first rapper to ever
win an Oscar. Everyone wants to know what Eminem is really
like-after the curtains go down. In "The Way I Am," Eminem writes
candidly, about how he sees the world. About family and friends;
about hip-hop and rap battles and his searing rhymes; about the
conflicts and challenges that have made him who he is today.
Illustrated with more than 200 full-color and black-and-white
photographs-including family snapshots and personal Polaroids, it
is a visual self-portrait that spans the rapper's entire life and
career, from his early childhood in Missouri to the basement home
studio he records in today, from Detroit's famous Hip Hop Shop to
sold-out arenas around the globe. Readers who have wondered at Em's
intricate, eye- opening rhyme patterns can also see, first-hand,
the way his mind works in dozens of reproductions of his original
lyric sheets, written in pen, on hotel stationary, on whatever
scrap of paper was at hand. These lyric sheets, published for the
first time here, show uncut genius at work. Taking readers deep
inside his creative process, Eminem reckons with the way that chaos
and controversy have fueled his music and helped to give birth to
some of his most famous songs (including "Stan," "Without Me," and
"Lose Yourself").
Providing a personal tour of Eminem's creative process, "The Way I
Am" has been hailed as "fascinating," "compelling," and "candid."
