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."
Today's hottest rapper' the enigmatic Eminem' delivers a
provocative collection of his uncensored lyrics, complete with
personal commentary on each controversial song.
Angry Blonde is the only official Eminem book on the market,

his mother and faces two separate assault charges.

on them, Angry Blonde will feature never-before-published

Anticipation for Relapsehas been building since fall 2008, when
Eminemfirst announced the album title and debuted the freestyle,
"I'm Having a Relapse," during an interview on his Shade
45satellite radio station. The release of "Crack a Bottle" from
Eminem, Dr. Dreand 50 Centbrought that anticipation to a head. The
track soared to #1 on the BillboardHot 100 (Eminem's second #1after
2002's "Lose Yourself") and set a Nielsen SoundScan record for
opening week download sales (418,000). The recording ranked third
in the history of all weekly download sales. "Crack a Bottle" will
be included as an album track on Relapse. With the announcement of
the release date for Relapsealso came confirmation of something
that had been rumored for weeks: Eminem is already working on a
follow-up album, Relapse 2, that fans can expect in the second half
of 2009. "A lot of people were expecting Relapseto drop last year,"
said Eminem. "I was one of them. Then Dre and I went back in the
studio in September for a few days, and that turned into six
months. We were on such a roll; we wound up with a ton of new music
produced by Dre. Putting out Relapse 2will let everyone get all of
the best stuff."
