Eminem is currently the biggest and most controversial music star in the world. He has been accused by many of his critics for his overly homophobic and sexist lyrics, while he has also faced opposition due to his commercial success and being white in a black music genre. Nevertheless, his talent has surpassed these condemnations and established him as the most important figure to emerge from popular music since Kurt Cobain. The book "Whatever You Say I Am" - based on exclusive interviews with Eminem's family members, key music industry figures, sociologists, and critics - and with previously unpublished photographs, is the first to reveal the man behind the controversy. Anthony Bozza's unexpected access to Eminem himself makes him particularly capable of answering the big question - why does Eminem matter? The answer lies in his improbable life story, his remarkable rise to superstardom, and the analysis of his music and lyrics. "Whatever You Say I Am" will keep Eminem's devoted fans in suspense and shed light on his critics.
