Product Description
A glimpse at the real Slim Shady and his music. Rap superstar Eminem's uncensored lyrics are offered here to the reader complete with personal commentary on each controversial song. The book sheds light on the hugely controversial persona of Eminem, whilst discussing his songs and their relevance to him. Much controversy has surrounded the release of Eminem's latest album "Marshall Mathers", and now he wants to set the record straight. Featuring all the lyrics to his solo hits and some from his guest appearances, "Angry Blonde" provides a no-holds barred look into the mind of hip-hop's latest genius. Eminem has become the living embodiment of rebel youth in the USA. "The Slim Shady" LP, released in 1999, went on to sell over 4 million copies world-wide, spawning hits such as "Guilty Conscience" and the anthemic "My Name Is". Filled with songs that addressed everything from rape and drugs to murder, it's not surprising that the Grammy Award-winning album failed to find favour with the moral majority.

I ordered it a month ago for my son and he has not received it!
 It's aight April 1, 2008
It's ok. If you are a true eminem fan then you know all of his lyrics already, when i purchased this book i thought it really dug into the mind of this genius but it doesnt. He just tells how his life was messed up at the time in every song and some stupid stuff that was going on while he recorded each track, its really not that interesting. I am a die hard eminem fan and i didnt find this book that great. It's nice beacause it gives lyrics to some of his sick freestyles but other than that, if you really love eminem then you know everything else that is in this book and you dont need it, unless you want it like I did. I dont regret it but i have trouble recommending it to true eminem fans because it is really not necessary.
 If your an Eminem fan, Great Book February 18, 2008
This book is alot about his raps on paper. If your into his lyrics, great book, if you want an autobiography, then maybe look elsewere.........
Motivation July 24, 2006
"The struggle" has always been a mainstay that epitomizes the hip hop persona. Eminem is able to detail his struggle to make it (a.k.a. "the come up") in his book "Angry Blonde" through his descriptions of each of his songs off his first two albums and the complete lyrics to each song. His introduction paragraphs to each song are the best part of the book. These paragraphs reveal how he came up with the idea for the track, how he felt when he wrote it, and tell the reader a lot about the creative process.
Eminem's first two albums truly tell the story of the man; "The Slim Shady LP" when he was struggling just to get by and in "The Marshall Mathers LP" with his reaction to overnight celebrity. Two of the most successful albums of all-time (not just in hip hop history), these albums sold over 28 million records combined worldwide. To look into the mind of a man that could make music that would be heard by so many people and to read those words that so many heard is truly motivational. As an artist whose dream is to reach as many people as Eminem, his words and story are an inspiration and provide me with one of the driving forces behind my career.

It's one thing to hear his music, but to read what's behind it makes us realize why he is the way he is and why he is one of the best in the game- a must-read.
