Eminem: Crossing the Line

by Martin Huxley

Book Overview

"God sent me to piss the world off," Eminem boasts on his breakthrough hit "My Name Is." A grandiose claim to be sure, but it's hard to imagine another rapper generating as much controversy and outrage as this bleach-blonde Detroit MC outlaw while still selling millions of records and becoming a hero to pop fans and hardcore hip-hop purists alike.

Nick G's Proffesional Opinion

I think this Guys a rap genius and this book realy covers a lot of Eminem's personal life and how he's seen through society. Its interesting and well written.

I almost thought Aldus Huxley penned this masterpiece!

Martin Huxley is a brilliant writer. So much so, I looked up online to see if he was related to Aldus Huxley, the brilliant novelist (they're not related). Still, he paints a fabulous and easy to read picture of Emminem. Huxley skips the boring stuff and focuses on how Marshall Mathers grew into the rap mogul superstar hip hopper we know as Emminem. Hard core fans may clammor for more in-depth reporting but I think Huxley manages to stay on that fine line of giving the reader all the important details of Em's life while not getting into the sordid or too-personal details that really aren't the reader's business. I love this book! Long live Emminem, he sure rapped his way into my heart after reading this book!!
