Synopsis
Eminem boasts on his breakthrough hit, "My Name Is." A grandiose claim, to be sure, but it's hard to imagine another rapper generating as much controversy and outrage as this bleach-blond Detroit MC outlaw while still selling millions of records and becoming a hero to pop fans and hardcore hip-hop purists alike. The sharp-tongued product of crushing poverty and an unstable home life, Eminem is much more than the goofy smart-ass he usually portrays himself as. Beyond the artist's inventive rhyming skills and appealingly warped lyrical persona, the multiplatinum major-label albums The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP present a dark, psychologically complex character whose vivid, vengeful rhymes embody a collision of Midwestern white trash and urban hip-hop cultures, while portraying an unpredictably violent yet absurdly hilarious world. Adopting the cartoonish persona of Slim Shady, Eminem spins colorfully absurd narratives involving sadistic violence while reflecting the tortured heart of a deeply conflicted character whose real-life pain lurks beneath the surface of his alter ego.
It's those contradictions that help make Eminem a uniquely compelling artist whose appeal transcends boundaries of race and musical genre. Eminem: Crossing the Line, the first biography ever written on this pop-culture icon, offers a fascinating peek into the strange and twisted world of Slim Shady.
