Editorials

From Barnes & Noble

Alternately revered as the best thing to happen to rap music in many years and reviled as a thug spreading messages of hatred and violence, Eminem is nothing if not controversial. Read for yourself the lyrics -- along with commentary from Slim Shady himself -- that have inspired such invective from all directions.

Details

His ryhmes sting like a lungful of crack.

Entertainment Weekly

Eminem proves himself a peerless rap poet with a profound understanding of the power of language.

Newsweek

Eminem has not only become the legitimate heir to Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G., he's arguable the most compelling figure in all of pop music.

VOYA

In this book, Eminem describes the true meanings of his songs. I learned a new side of his character. He really gets his point across. He does not hide his feelings, which can be good and bad. The inappropriate language could be bad for younger readers, but it's good that he lets people know that they shouldn't take his songs seriously. Photos.

Library Journal

A successful addition to public and school libraries, Eminem consists of portraits, performance shots, and lyrics to dozens of the MC's songs-all proceeded by a paragraph of commentary. Meanwhile, Noise collects 23 substantial and engaging essays by the likes of Jon Parales, Richard Goldstein, and Robert Christgau; a balanced study for larger public libraries.
