Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not as bad as others say...
Review: The book isn't really a bio of Eminem, its more of how Eminem affected hip-hop. Looking at it that way, its quite good and accomplishes what it set out to do. Bozza has met Eminem various times and starts off each chapter with a meeting of Eminem before going on to describing something else (like how hip-hop originated) for a few pages then getting back on how Eminem affected that.

Not a bad book but definitely not a bio.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Eminem Bio ?
Review: This book is a semi-Bio of Eminem. I think a person looking for the history on Hip-Hop, would get more insite on that, than I did of Eminem. Every now and then, he author would fill in 3 or 4 pages, giving you a little history on Eminem, but overall it kept slipping back into Hip-Hop History, and Culture. If you looking for a true Bio of Eminem, this big only gives a small supply.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: More on culture than Eminem
Review: This book is more focused on the hip-hop culture than Eminem. It does have some history of Eminem, but not enough for hard-core Eminem fans like myself, since most Eminem fans out there already know about Eminem's life thanks to biorythem: the old MTV biography show, and also stories told by Emimem himself.
It does follow Eminem to 8 Mile, and his struggles coming up into the rap world as a white MC, of course it was hard then, and for some it is still hard for some white MC's out there.
Now Bozza explains about the history of hip-hop and the culture throughout the book, and this is a good book to read for anyone older who want to understand hip-hop culture for what it is, and also some stuff about the controversal rapper himself. Nothing really major since most hard-core Eminem fans know about their favorite MC. A somewhat good book, but I just wish Bozza contreated more on Eminem than the hip-hop culture itself.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not a bio.
Review: This is a great book if you want to read about Eminem and the hip hop/rap history, but if you need to read a biography this isn't really the right book. The fisrt 2 or 3 pages of each chapter is about the time Bozza spent with Eminem, nothing about him. I am pretty much obsessed with Eminem, so I enjoyed this book.
