View our feature on Eminem s "The Way I Am."For the first time, one of music s most popular and headline-making rap artists shares his private reflections, drawings, handwritten lyrics, and never-before-seen photographs. 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. Now, in "The Way I Am," he shares his private thoughts on everything from his inner struggles, to the trials of being famous, to his love for his daughter, Hailie, creating a book that is every bit as raw and uncensored as the man himself. Illustrated with never-before-seen photographs of Eminem s home and life along with original drawings, "The Way I Am" is filled with reflections on his greatest hits, previously unpublished lyric sheets, and other rare memorabilia. Providing his millions of fans with a personal tour of Eminem s creative process, it is poised to be hailed in much the same way as Tupac s "The Rose that Grew from Concrete," Bob Dylan s "Chronicles," and "Journals" by Kurt Cobain."
"The biggest rapper in history."- Rolling Stone "The best rapper alive."- Vibe magazine "Part autobiography, part photo gallery, part ephemera collection, it's a handsome roundup for an artist who has been notoriously reluctant to discuss his personal life anyplace but in his music."- New York Times
