Customer Reviews

5 stars on story, and 3 stars on writing.....

I'm sure what Byron says on this book is true, I did think that he should have had it edited by someone, because at times he said the same thing four times in one paragraph. I didn't really believe how he said that Kim hits Marshall but Marshall never hits Kim.....I also don't know if I believe that Byron never took any groupies up on their offers to him.

if you like this then youll like another book

ok ive just ordered this book and i feel that if you like this book or just want to know more about the music game, then youll love "confessions of a record producer." that is the realest book youll ever read. if your thinkin about joing the music game or just want to know what really goes on i suggest you get and READ this book, your bound to love it for sure.

FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I too have been personally screwed over by the one who calls himself Slim Shady, so when i found out Byron had a book out.... i rushed out to get it. and let me tell you people something.... THIS BOOK TELLS YOU THE REAL DEAL on little Marshall Mathers. This book is fabulous, and i think all Eminem fans should read it for a reality check.

The Real Life Of Eminem

This book is just great, its a rush right from the start. i brought this book hoping to find out more about the rap superstar Marshall Mathers (eminem) and that was exactly what i got. Byron gives an honest opinion throughout the book on the life that Eminem leads(which is off the hook). Eminem is a true superstar, he lives life with no regard to anyone. The stories that are told in this book are told with great detail and some of them are totally shocking, from Ems drug abuse to his fascination with groupies to the trouble that Em found himself in with death row. I would recommend this book to every fan of Eminem because it gives a great insight to how life is on the road with the most talented rapper ever. This book also tells of how bad management can ruin what the star has, Byron tells it how it is on the subject of Paul Rosenburg (Ems manager) who will eventually be the downfall of one of the rap industries greatest talent. So to put this to an end if you wanna know about Eminem buy this book.

Meet the real Slim Shady

I enjoyed this book very much. It was both interesting and exciting. Interesting because Byron and Eminem have very different perspectives on life. Exciting because you get a glimpse of what an Eminem tour is realy like. Its like having a backstage pass. You get to know all the people involved, and what the fans are like. Anyone who wants to know what Eminem is really like should read this book. Its like meeting the REAL Slim Shady. But, behind the rap persona is Marshall Mathers. This book gives you an insight into the clash of the two coming together. i'm a big Eminem fan and the book was great to see what Em is really like. Alot has been written about Eminem and his lyrics, this book gives you a look at the man behind the songs. A must read for REAL Slim Shady fans! You can't help but to love him and hate him at the same time!
