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.

this story would have been better if eminem himself read it! but it also seemed just like the movie 8 Mile!

Disappointed

If you're a die hard eminem fan this isn't it this basically someone reading his Wikipedia page for 12 hours even if you're a more casual eminem fan id recommend getting his biography called "the way I am" eminem himself wrote that or on audible eminems ex bodyguard book called "shady bizness" sure you might think that those books aren't true but to me it's more entertaining to listen to someone who actually knew him rather then listen to someone who doesn't.

Inspiring

Marshall is a beautiful soul. The life he has lived, the pain he has endured and the blessing he has been given. I didn’t want the book to end.

Not what I expected (in a good way)

I’m a diehard fan of Eminem, I haven’t come across this story tho until a few days ago. It’s from about 5 years ago, but still a good story! 💜💯

Very nice

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

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
