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.

Hard to listen to. Horrible

If you're a fan I would avoid this. The tone and demeanour of the narrator make this a very hard listen. So far I have forced myself to listen to about 6 hours of this audio book hoping for it to get better but I'm giving up here. Despite some good information the narrator clearly does not have an unbiased opinion of Eminem, rather a negative view which makes his views and comments on situations, quotes, an artists view, really hard to listen to and enjoy.

I'll be asking for a refund.

Good overview of his life

Well voiced with consistent characterisation of the Marshall Mathers quotes. Does make you feel for the guy, living his life in the open in music and the media.
Not the best biography, but not the worst

Negative view point

Just a really negative feeling throughout as a fan it feels like the book is portrayed from a anti Eminem prospective and at times in my opinion racially motivated

Slim shady that's my baby

Very good driving autobiography for long driving trips.
I particularly liked the idea of how much the Author would describe an incident as if he was right there alongside Marshall on what he was doing.
I have been a HUGE fan of Marshall Mathers 111 from 1999 and I have been to his only Perth concert in 2019. I will have to listen to the other books and see how they compare.

Stan the rapgod

Goes into ems life which lyrically some people won't know if the don't understand rap. It's a great life story of ups and downs if you don't listen to his music listen to this for an hour it will get you listening to him.
