Chart topping-and headline-making-rap artist Eminem shares his private reflections, drawings, handwritten lyrics, and photographs in his New York Times bestseller The Way I Am

Fiercely intelligent, relentlessly provocative, and prodigiously gifted, Eminem is referred to as much for his enigmatic persona as for being the fastest-selling rap artist and the first rapper to ever win an Oscar. Everyone wants to know what Eminem is truly like-after the curtains go down. In The Way I Am, Eminem writes candidly, about how he sees the world. About friends and family; about hip-hop and rap battles and his searing rhymes; about the conflicts and challenges that have made him who he’s today.

Illustrated with more than 200 full-color and black-and-white photographs-including circle of relatives snapshots and personal Polaroids, this can be a visual self-portrait that spans the rapper’s entire life and career, from his early childhood in Missouri to the basement home studio he records in today, from Detroit’s famous Hip Hop Shop to sold-out arenas all over the world. Readers who have wondered at Em’s intricate, eye- opening rhyme patterns can also see, first-hand, the way his mind works in dozens of reproductions of his original lyric sheets, written in pen, on hotel stationary, on no matter what scrap of paper used to be at hand. These lyric sheets, published for the first time here, show uncut genius at work. Taking readers deep inside his creative process, Eminem reckons with the way that chaos and controversy have fueled his music and helped to give birth to a few of his most famous songs (including “Stan,” “Without Me,” and “Lose Yourself”).

Providing a personal tour of Eminem’s creative process, The Way I Am has been hailed as “fascinating,” “compelling,” and “candid.”
