Description

Why do people find it so hard to believe that white people can be poor too?! Yes, I lived in a ghetto, but I’d call it more of a brotherhood.

(Eminem)

He grew up in a trailer park in Detroit, one of the most criminal cities in America. Nobody believed that a loser doomed to work in a diner could achieve success in rap. Eminem became the first in the most “black” style of music and proved that anyone can achieve anything if they obsessively follow their dream. After all, the secret to any success consists of falling, getting up, and moving forward. That’s it. Only this way you can truly enrage your enemies.

Detroit doesn’t forgive the success of those it has already written off. A heap of lawsuits, a string of arrests, and drug addiction will be the price of popularity.

— In the end, if I don’t have problems, what will my lyrics be about? — he’ll say once he learns that his mother has also filed a lawsuit against him.

For the first time in Russian—a biography of the best-selling musician of the millennium!
