This sequel to the New York Times bestseller Whatever You Say I Am chronicles the last twenty years of rapper Eminem's life, based on exclusive interviews with the artist, his friends, and associates. In 1999, a former dishwasher from Detroit named Marshall Bruce Mathers III became the most controversial and polarizing musical artist in the world. He was an outlier, a white artist creating viable art in a black medium, telling stories with such verbal dexterity, nimble wit, and shocking honesty that his music and persona resonated universally. In short, Eminem changed the landscape of pop culture as we knew it. In 2006, at the height of his fame and one of the biggest-selling artists in music history, Eminem all but disappeared. Beset by nonstop controversy, bewildering international fame, a debilitating drug problem, and personal tragedy, he became reclusive, withdrawing to his Detroit-area compound. He struggled with weight gain and an addiction to prescription pills that nearly took his life. Over the next five years, Eminem got sober, relapsed, then finally got and stayed clean with the help of his unlikely friend and supporter, Elton John. He then triumphantly returned to a very different landscape, yet continued his streak of number one albums and multiplatinum singles. Not Afraid picks up where rock journalist Anthony Bozza's bestselling Whatever You Say I Am left off. Capturing Eminem's toughest years in his own words, as well the insights of his closest friends and creative collaborators, this book chronicles the musical, personal, and spiritual growth of one of hip hop's most enduring and enigmatic figures.

Eminem's Life Part 2
Unlike some, I don't follow Eminem's career too closely and only managed to catch up on all of his music since Encore over the past year and a half. I had a lot to digest musically. This book was a good guide through all the years I missed in Eminem's career. While some would argue the whole chapter on Auto-tune seems out of place, I think it provides a good perspective on where the world of hip-hop was and continues to grow. It provided an additional aspect on what Eminem had to contend with musically as the world of hip-hop had shifted. I was glad that the writer had noticed the story arc of what Eminem had done from Relapse to Kamikaze. I think many people have missed the beautiful story Eminem wove. If you listen to each album on their own, it's an incomplete picture of the man but if you listen to the albums back to back you are presented with a wonderful musical tapestry of a man rebuilding his life, learning about himself and coming to terms with his past and what lies ahead for the future. While this book is a re-hash of some interviews, a look at the world of hip-hop at the time of Eminem's album releases, there are glimpses into a man who devotes so much of his life and passion into his craft. This book was a pleasant read and for diehard fans this book may not be worth reading but for the casual fan like myself, this was a welcome read. This isn't an autobiography but it provides enough insight into a man that has battled demons and came back swinging.

Ottimo prodotto
Il libro è stato acquistato come regalo, perciò mi limiterò a recensirne la fabbricazione e non la trama, che può piacere o meno. La carta è di buona qualità e abbastanza spessa, e la copertina rigida rende il libro leggero solido. È inoltre dotato di un’interessante prefazione. Consiglio la casa editrice e soprattutto di leggere questo bellissimo libro. Il pacco è arrivato nei tempi previsti e ben imballato, il contenuto era corrispondente alla descrizione. Consiglio il prodotto per il prezzo concorrenziale a parità di prodotto rispetto ad altri negozi.

Sehr gute Fortsetzung
Seit über 20 Jahren im Rap Game und seine letzte Platte hat über 430 000 Einheiten in der ersten Woche verkauft. Niemand hat nur annähern eine so krasse Langlebigkeit wie Eminem und da kann man auch eine Fortsetzung zu seinem ersten Buch verlangen. Diese Buch fasst zwar auch Eminems ersten Jahre zusammen aber im groben und ganzen ist es viel persönlicher. Es wird über das Making of von Relapse, Recovery, MMLP2 und Revival gesprochen. Politik und andere Rapper sind auch in dem Buch vertreten und der Autor hat auch eine sehr potente Schreibart welche einen nicht langweilt. Diese Buch ist eine Empfehlung an alle Eminem Fans oder auch an Leute die sich für die Person hinter Slim Shady interessieren.

Använd? Kanske.
Verkar använd runt hörnorna. Kom utan någon försegling eller skydd så kanske har någon på posten läst och stoppat tillbaka den. Vem vet. Hoppas boken blir uppskattad då det var en julgåva åt en Eminem Fan. Boken är Eminems andra självbiografi.
