8 Mile: Part 2

Filed under: Eminem

wenn999092.jpg

Eminem, has-been rapper, wannabe actor, and now author?

The Detroit native, real name Marshall Mathers, is wokring on a tell-all memoir which will include details on his life story, photographs, journal notes, hand-drawn sketches, and lyrics.

This woulda been hot….five years ago!

Eminem: The Way I Am is to be published by Orgion Books.

The book is scheduled for release in the U.K. on October 16 of this year.

A representative for Orion Books, Ian Preece, stated "Everyone has their own take on Eminem. Because of where he is from, people think they know where he is at, what kind of person he really is. This book cuts through all that and gets to the source."

Eminem's team isn't too happy with the leaking of this information, as they claim it is still a work in progress. A rep for Eminem told MTV News, "There is no firm release date scheduled, although it is anticipated to arrive in the latter part of this year. It's unfortunate that someone who does not have intimate knowledge of [the project] felt compelled to jump the gun on announcing it."

The audio version of the book should be narrated by Elton John!

    EMINEM SUCKS……Never liked him. His music pertained to Dumb white people who thought his "music" was good. Seriously? WHo cares about his trailer trash lifestyle growing up? OR how his mother is a typical white trash mom? NOT ME!!!!

  28. Aimée says – reply to this

    I'm not interested in him or the memoir, but several of my friends I'm sure would be. I doubt it'll be too bad since I'm sure they'll edit it to death to make it worth while, and I have a feeling his life and experiences will make for an interesting read. Kudos to Eminem and his managers for finding another outlet to make money!

    He should design a series of pimped out Trailers and sponsor an upscale Pimped Put Trailer Park. All Hip Hop and Jiggy and Wigger-licious.

    Jaime Lynn would so move in!

    Its all about timing, and ol' boy missed the boat by a couple of carb-laden years. Seriously. He's let himself go, he's pathetic (taking back that ho, that had a baby with some dumbass & ended up in jail)

    Etc.

    I might peek his autobiography if its juicy and full of his real self, insecurities, self mutilation, something along those lines.

    GO HILARY! ;)

    Eminem is amazing. He's a genius. Yes I still care and yes I will read it. Obviously people who don't understand his music never had anything bad happen to them in their lives.

    P.S. Perez sucks.

    pretty smart of him i guess, since he cant make another album bashing his mother and the mother of his child for the 100th time he will now write a book trashing his mother and mother of his kid. i dont like how we always get his side of the story, everyone exaggerates their own side and i bet his really really over does it. he always talks about wanting to kill kim for cheating on him but how many groupie sluts was he fucking behind her back? He can trash her all he wants but as soon as kim startted to speak out about her side of the story he then decides that its in the kid's best interest for them not to talk about their issues. he strikes me as a big stupid baby.

  46. luna says – reply to this

    Perez you hate him ’cause he's not well received within the gay community people….. but I think he's awesome, and he's not a has-been….

  47. Red says – reply to this
    47

    He hates women and gays and then trys to act like he's a black homie from the hood. Give me a break! This is nothing but a piece of trash and needs to go back to his trailer, fuck his mom, then go get some Burger King so he can die of bad genes. That's the only thing bad about him. Loser!

    Re: K.C. – Hey K.C. did you mean to type KFC…u fat slob?? Eminem is talented and going through some shit right now. STFU…He is no worse than every other gun slinging drug dealing fucking loser in compton and such. He is better…he has REAL issues..and creates funny and bumpin tunes. WAAAAAAAAYYYYYyyy better than…"I like dis ho…likeed dat ho….got me a gat…fuck da police" shut up nig…and wipe the chicken grease and kool-aid stain off your round fat face…..YALL WANT RACISM….U GOT IT. BTW….Obama will not make the best President JUST BECAUSE he is black…that's like ALL women voting for HILARY……and he hates all the ghetto nasties….so GOOD LUCK W/THAT. MAY THE BEST WIN…….good luck to both.

    Re: luna – well guess what? I never give a shit about FEMINEM either
    and if Perez hates him then so be it , I personally don't care if like the gays or not , it doesn't matter to me, I don't need his approval , I do what I like and I enjoy rap music but never this DOUCHE BAG's rapping ,he sounds like a whining mouse , I bet you he gets gang bang by all those black dudes and then lie about it
    I will always think FEMINEM as one of the most ANNOYING DOUCHE BAG RAPPER WANNABE ever existed in the music industry

    You cannot deny he is a great lyricist…I am not interested in his childhood , or young adulthood, but what he has been doing at his mansion in Oakland County Michigan for the last few years…I think that would be interesting to know..

    I AM PROUD TO BE A WHITE TRASH PIECE OF SHIT
    I AM FEMINEM

    I still think that he´s GREAT! Here seems to be plenty of unhappy people, who try to get some pleasure to their life by insulting day after day somebody. This time it´s Eminem.

    perez, can you do a pole to see if anyone would read your memoir?

    it would go something like this:

    "Woke up. went online. stayed online for 18 hours, making fun of others, etc. went to bed hating myself."

    "Woke up. went online. stayed online for 18 hours, making fun of others, etc. went to bed hating myself."

    "Woke up. went online. stayed online for 18 hours, making fun of others, etc. went to bed hating myself."

    "Woke up. went online. stayed online for 18 hours, making fun of others, etc. went to bed hating myself."

    "Woke up. went online. stayed online for 18 hours, making fun of others, etc. went to bed hating myself."

    perez.. come on now.. has-been rapper & wannabe actor? eminem is an amazingly talented man, he's sold more records than anybody out there right now and just because he's not working right now doesn't make him a "has-been".. and as far as "wannabe actor" goes, have you SEEN 8-mile???? his performance was amazing and 10 TIMES BETTER than some of these "hot young actors" in hollywood today! don't put down a naturally talented man just because you have NO talent.. eminem has accomplished WAY more than you ever will

    Gee what a suprise that Perez doesn't like Eminem. Maybe it's cause he hates gay men or maybe Perez is just jealous of Eminem's talent, iconic status or the millions upon millions that he has. Eminem is still relevant.

    Hey you cock gobblers. How are you going to call eminem a has been? He has more talent in his right testicle(which you twinks obviously enjoy) than you could ever dream of having. So just go back to your web-site, which for the most part i do enjoy, and wonder what it would take for you to even try and be 1/8th of talented as he is.

    Re: KFC Koolaid lemonade and watermelon…..OH AND OBAMA. – "Real Issues" & "Bumpin Tunes"? Ha Ha…….You white people are so fucking pathetic the way you all put down minorites but yet embrace everything they are all about. Eminem is just another White Trash Boy who caught a break when Dr. Dre saw him and thought "This white boy can make me some money, he has a funky ass voice and his rhymes are lame but white america will think they are funny as hell" All he does is talk about REAL artists and living legends when he is really viewed as a JOKE in the rap industry. Why do you think he is no longer in the game? All you White trash are the same, all bark and no bite. You are poorly represented and try and be like everybody else, there is nothing you all can call your own. When minorities do something you all copy it. BE ORIGINAL!!!! By the way, I am not Black FYI so your black racist comments dont pertain to me. ♥
