The Way I Am

(41 customer reviews)

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home and life along with original drawings, The Way I Am is filled with reflections on his greatest hits, previously unpublished lyric sheets, and other rare memorabilia.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.

A 'must' for any library strong in hip-hop or rap music history and culture Jan 16, 2010
Eminem's autobiography details the controversial rapper's life and art, offering views of family, friends, hip-hop and rap battles, and more. Over two hundred color and black and white photos include original family snapshots and personal Polaroids and pack in a lively visual survey of Eminem's life and influence. A 'must' for any library strong in hip-hop or rap music history and culture.

AWESOME COOLNESS Dec 03, 2009
Definitely a must-buy - whether you are a fan of Eminem, or a fan of hip-hop. It is interesting to read how Eminem becomes Eminem, Slim Shady, and Marshall Mathers - they are all expressing on the same person physically, but the thinking and the ideas behind these identities are completely different. Needless to say, captures/photos on the original lyrics that were written on papers by Eminem himself are priceless.

Eminem Book Nov 14, 2009
Book is just what your looking for if your looking to go behind the scenes and learn about Eminem and how he lived his life before he became this mega star that we all know him as now! Great pics through out the book of him and his crew, family, and friends that you have never seen before. I really enjoyed the book and learned things about the greatest white rapper alive that you didn't learn from watching MTV or VH1 promise!

Wasn't impressed by Eminem Biography Nov 03, 2009
I thought Eminem would be talking more about his life, growing up and finally giving some instight into his personal life, but instead its a book with alot of pictures that repeats itself over and over. The book took me a day to read thats how little actual writing is in it. If you want a book with alot of pics then this is good for you

Very eye opening. Lots of pictures and words that just jump out at you. A very in-depth look into Eminem. A must have if your an Eminem fan. It has clippings of how he composes his rhymes and it's amazing. Artistry at its best from one of the best.
