Eminem thinks his fans can read

U.K. publisher Orion Publishing Group announced Friday that they will be releasing Eminem: The Way I Am on Oct. 16 in Great Britan where, apparently, Eminem still has a fan base. After five albums and a movie, countless court reports, and a couple of police blotters, how many more mediums can this guy cry to us in?  The next step is the Eminem interpretive dance and Marshall Mathers on Broadway.

Here is a quote from the release by Orion Publishing, who seems to think people care about a fat white rapper that is approaching middle agedness:

“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,” said Orion senior commissioning editor Ian Preece. “It has an edge. It’ll be one of the books of the year.”

Its funny, I was at a yard stomping just the other day discussing which was better, Step Up 2 The Streets or You Got Served (Honey was a dark horse in the debate-ED) when one of my boys said “Yo, I don’t think we really got the whole story about how Marshall’s mother didn’t love him enough and why that led to Kim straight trippin’ on him and how that affected his prescription pain killer addiction. I mean for reals, all he wants to do is love him some Hailie. Cuzz, if I could read above a 3rd grade level I would totally check out a book about what its like being The Real Slim Shady.” And then he spun on his head and popped and locked until the rec center was saved. It was his finest hour.
