Snippet of Feminem Autobiography Released!
The folks at EW got their hands on a few passages from Feminem's soon-to-be-released autobiography.
Fem reveals that he's very 'angry' and a bit bipolar!
Check it:
I've always had issues with my temper.
When I look back at myself during those years when everything was blowing up, I think maybe at first I was a little, you know, too aggressive and loud. It was like I had this voice and I had to be heard. ”Don't f— with me,” to the point where people must have been wondering, Why is this dude so angry? Is he on crack? Is he on crystal meth? I go back and see old interviews and even now I wonder, Why was I so hyper?
I went through a phase back then when I was shooting pistols in the air behind the studio and, you know, pulling guns out, pointing a pistol in somebody's face, not even realizing that I could've gone to jail for that s—.
Back then I was living on a main road, Hayes Street, and random people used to come and knock on my door all the time. The first album had gone four times platinum. I finally had some money. I remember thinking, I have a house, I can park in back. It was the first time in my life I'd had a real home that I could call my own and nobody was going to be able to throw me out. Directly across the street there was a trailer park. Wouldn't you know it? Sometimes kids would sit and wait for me to come out.
Other times they didn't even bother to wait. They would just come and bang on the door. The doorbell kept ringing. I was starting to lose it. As soon as I would open the front door the camera flashes would go off. They'd start clapping. I was losing my mind. I got up in one kid's face with a pistol. Unloaded, but still. Was that the right thing to do?
Hell, no. But my temper was out of control. Thank God I was in enough control to not do something tragic. I had to move out of there before I wound up hurting somebody.
My mood can change quickly. It's always been that way. When I was drinking, I could be in a good mood — just loving everybody and feeling like everything was great — then somebody would say the wrong s— to me, and before you knew it there was nothing my bodyguards could do to stop me from reacting and at least punching, spitting, or kicking a few times before they could get to me. It would be the simplest s— that would set me off, like somebody looking at me hard. And I could not stop until I felt like I'd done something to make that person accountable, to make that person learn his lesson. Afterward, I would be full of apologies, just saying ”I'm sorry” over and over. I'd feel like such an idiot for acting like that. Like, Why can't I control this?
You all saw the Triumph thing go down at the MTV Video Music Awards, right? That's a pretty perfect example. I mean, there I am, sitting in my seat, and they announce that I'm up for an award, presented by Christina Aguilera. I had said some things about her in the past, Moby had said some things about me, and I had said some things back about him. So I'm sitting there next to Proof, and they bring in Moby and sit him like two rows directly behind us. So now I'm like, Okay, what's going on? What are they trying to do? I've got Moby behind me, and Christina up onstage, and then this dog puppet gets up in my face. I'd been so busy touring and doing my own s— that I hadn't had time to watch TV, so I had no idea what that dog was. All I saw was Moby and Christina and this dude who's sticking his hand in my face, trying to be funny. I didn't even see the puppet, you know? My natural reaction was, ”Get the f— out of my face. Get your f—ing hand out of my face.” And that's when I kind of lost it and a half. I should have kept my composure, but instead I stuck my fingers basically on Moby's nose. Right in his face, like, ”F— you.”
When they told me I won the award, I went up there and gave Christina a hug, because there wasn't a real beef with her. I was just dissing her to separate myself ’cause I didn't want to be classified as a pop artist. When I hugged her, I thought I was being as mature as I could be. But when I got behind closed doors in the green room, I threw a fit. There was a cooler with drinks in it, and I asked if anybody wanted to grab a water or something. Nobody did. So I picked up the cooler and threw it against the wall and kind of f—ed up the whole room, basically.
U need to smoke more weed, gurl!

ya gotta lose yaself
are you encouraging your readers to smoke weed?
Didn't those funky wedding pictures with Kim give it away back then?
luv him!
Say what you will about Eminem, but he was (and still is) and incredible MC. A lot of people write him off as gimmicky, but his first 3 records had some really brilliant moments. I look forward to hear The Relapse. Hopefully, he's got a lot left in the tank.
I can't wait for this new book and Eminem's new album, he is finally coming back!
oh and btw perez the whole feminem thing is way old. if you are gonna call Em a name think of something original plz!
I'll be buying that
What a diva!!!!Hes a white trash spoiled OLD brat!HASBEEN and a media whore(Hes worst than Madonna)Pop music are for young people.hes amost 40!what a pathetic loser!!!AND WHY THIS DIVA MEMOIR THING?WHO FCKIN CARES?????
WHAT A FAG!!
That's what I'm screaming! Get some weed and get some medication, dude!
Re: TorontoMike – Agreed.
Emimem has always been a brilliant hip-hop artist. He and rappers like Jay-Z, Tupac, Biggie, etc, they were the ones who brought rap to the forefront. And whether you like it or not, he's here to stay. He may not be making as many records for himself these days, but he's making a whole lot for other people, including the always infamous 50-Cent…. Sure, even HE admits that he was a douchebag sometimes… when you're young and get rich that quickly, most people get a big head; look at almost ALL of young hollywood these days. At least he's admitting that he was an idiot sometimes. All I can say is that I remember seeing him for the first time in a magazine article when I was 14, thinking… "ugh, this guy is going to be so stupid", and then I listened to his songs. He went where other artists were afraid to go, he worked hard for his daughter, he rapped about topics that were the real s***. THAT is how he created an empire for himself– he stayed real and stayed strong. Good for him.
I'm buying that book on day 1. Looks like it'll be a great read.
Why do you keep calling him Feminem? That's so rude…
who cares!?!
ch0 you passed it with the you need to smoke weed comment. That's classic.
loves you P
Katie
MENTALLY ILL.

-
love how tough he acts when his bodyguards are there to pull him off people. Perez could kick this chestless twerp's ass.
Time for a crash course in Anger Management, Bud.
What a fine thing for you to say Perez, encourage people, kids included to do something illegal and smoke "weed". Finally we have an explanation for your stupidity!!!!!!!! They don't call it DOPE for nuthin'!!!!!!
Loser.
I don't know why I'm surprised. Your mum must be so proud.
I feel u Em
That's cool that he can come out and say what he was feeling and even apologize for it. He definitely settled down. He's not that old Julienne you cunt rag!
I gotta get this book. I love Eminem. I'm glad he's back
i love eminem, fuck hasnt everyone just wanted to fuck someone up for the littlest shit at some point in their lives, all u fucks havnt u ever just lost it for no reason, done somthing fucked up, felt like acting on instinct??? i love eminem lol ive said it before and ill say it again, i should hate this guy, im educated, and intelligent to some extent but i know what its like to expect people to think ur shit, and useless, and u have to react. u either get angry or prove them wrong and eminems done both…. kudos
he sounds like he has borderline, borderline is too often confused with bipolar.
Re: Husband Clothes… – THORRY? lame.
Em is awesome and he is not a femme, he would kick your lily ass but remember he's trying to be good. I thought it was neat that he was so open and honest and making himself vulnerable. I think he's hot!
Re: Sensible – Ditto! I'm so excited that he's back.
Marshall Is Amazing and Genius and im sure it doesnt come simply. Thats what made his music so fucking great and amazing. It was pure true fucking anger. I feel like that too sometimes still. Sometimes You just gotta say the shit that goes on in your head. I cant wait to read more…
Is this really a surprise to anyone?
Seriously!
lyrical genius! just like tupac, biggie, lil wayne, and jay-z…they weren't afraid to "take it there" and they will forever be respected for that…the man is a hard-worker and an excellent father so good for him!! cant wait till the book comes out
Typical white trash trailer court loser. What a retard.
Loves me some Eminem & I have been missing him.
Book and a new record?
I say :bring it:
and ’bout-damn-time.
His timing is perfect.
Re: 0LRB0 –
Know this:
nataliedee.com will sue your ass for using her comic as an avatar while attempting to dis Em
borderline. for sure. needs some therapie…
Hmmm, looks like a good read. might buy.
Re: TVdinner – AGREED
Amazon is already selling the book!
Eminem sounds really dumb and immature. And anyway why does he think we still care about that stupid MTV incident about him having beef with Christina Aguilera and Moby and some puppet? ha ha. Is he still trying hard to live that down. Does he think we care that much? He showed his true colors that he couldn't take a joke and is still trying to backpedal because it's all so calculated with him. He was only dissing Christina Aguilera and those other pop stars because he thinks that makes him look more gangsta? Uh it doesn't. And you are a pop star Eminem. Accept it. You are a pop rapper. "Whoo I'm so gangsta I shoot off guns" grow up moron.
Very typical of childhood abuse trauma.
I think he needs to come to terms with his sexuality and then he'll be happy.
Really, I think he's very unhappy about his sexual preferences, and he's in total denial. It's typical of closeted people
Re: janebird –
You obviously cared if you actually read the excerpt. Btw, his book just entered top 100 list on Amazon, which proves a hella lot of people care. The book isn't even out yet. So not only he's the commercially most successful artist of his decade, 9x Grammy winner, an Oscar winner and the winner of dozens of various awards, he's also the main star of a very successful and critically acclaimed movie, the owner of record company, radio station and clothing line. He has a foundation for troubled kids and he’s a guardian of one girl. If this isn't enough, he's on his way to have a book bestseller. He lives in a beautiful house, has nice and smart kids and even though he wasn't born with silver spoon and didn't have a family with white picket fence, he managed to gather all his qualities and did something positive with his life. He worked hard and used his talent. Unlike most of the pop stars, he writes his own lyrics and produces and mixes majority of his music.
For information, this man was just 36 yesterday. I'd like to know if you accomplished at least 5 % of his success.
Perez, you just set yourself up. Eminem will now probably write a song about you like he did with Moby and Michael Jackson. btw Eminem is definitely not a girl, everyone knows hes got problems.
I hope somebody edits that, it's lousy with grammatical errors.
I love no matter what. I have always under rage and anger from a young age. That piece of shit mother of his is reason enough for his rage. I still want to kick her in the teeth real hard. I love you
"M" forever.
He is so annoying and such a douche! We get it your girlfriend fucked another dude, your dad was nowhere to be found, and your mom was allegedly a druggie whore! Big whoop! Shit happens to black kids all the time! He is a freaking nut case! You aren't bipolar you're retarded! I have millions of dollars and I'm famous but don't bother me! But buy my CD! I can diss anyone I want but they can't say anything about me! What a crybaby bitch.
You got some cheese for that whine?
Re: bluv – i dont care how many awards he has.and who said that he is the best artist of the decade?he had only two relevant albuns.Encore was atotal irrelevant pop album.and hes trying to be in the spotlight again using this shiteous book. atotal mediawhore.and karma is in his way.nobody can fool life.everything taht you do come back to you.so im waiting his beautiful daughter to be raped.then i wanna see this bastard promote rape and violence against women in his despicable songs.i was raped and i know what it is.its a trauma for the rest of my life!!and this evil came gloryfing rape in his songs.and the idiots all saying that hes a great MC!!!!WHAT THE FCK?So many good people out there doing things to improve our society and this asshole using bigotry ,gets the attention and all the money.thats a wicked world.but hell see when happen to him.and stop using the argument that you have to find irony in his songs.hes being total clear about his hatred.
Re: Julianne –
He sold most records in this decade. Karma will haunt you if you wish someone would rape innocent girl just because it happened to you. You need as much therapy as he needs to fight his demons. Tons of people don’t understand his lyrics and take it literally and out of context. He doesn’t glorify violence. His goal was to hold the clear mirror to the whole society to see how it looks like in the core. This is a topic that is often ignored and you really need to do something that catches people’s attention the way like raw documentary movies do. When you say a girl was raped, plenty of people just shrug but when they actually see or hear a graphic description of it, it strikes them and suddenly they pay more attention. All you need to do is be more open minded to realize he criticizes and attacks the rotten society instead of glorying it.
He was a victim of abuse. He just uses expressive metaphors so people would think about problems. He’s trying to help people like you but you obviously refuse to see it. He has an ability to speak and be heard and unlike most of the mainstream rappers that rap about bling he tries to use his gift so people would be more aware of the problems around them. He wanted to be the mirror but now many people thing he’s the source of evil. That’s why many people think he’s misunderstood.
I bet he's fun to be around.
i wish everyone would stop payin out Eminem, i can't wait to get the book and buy his new album…
too all of you haters out there..what about him screams "i love men"? Absolutely nothing. He's an amazing artist and clearly making a shit load of money and was just named the best rap artist so I think that says a lot more then you're worthless hateful comments.
Oh honey, get urself to a psychiatrist to treat your mood disorder…. takes one to know one!
