Whatever You Say I Am: The Life And Times Of Eminem

Eminem is currently the world's most prominent and contentious music star. He has faced strong criticism for what many perceive as overtly homophobic and misogynistic lyrics, and has been resented both for his record-breaking commercial success and for being a white man operating within a predominantly Black genre. However, Eminem's undeniable talent has transcended such condemnation, establishing him as arguably the most significant figure to emerge from popular music since Kurt Cobain.

Whatever You Say I Am – based on exclusive interviews with members of Eminem's family, key figures in the music¹ industry, sociologists, and critics, and featuring previously unpublished photographs – is the first book to unveil the man behind the controversy. Most importantly, Anthony Bozza's unparalleled access to Eminem himself uniquely qualifies him to answer the fundamental question: why does Eminem truly matter?

The answer lies within Eminem's improbable life story, his extraordinary ascent to superstardom, and a thorough analysis of his music and lyrics. Whatever You Say I Am will undoubtedly captivate Eminem's legions of fans and offer valuable insights to his critics.
