I am still a fan of Eminems music.

The guy is the major jerk I have always heard he was. The author, Byron Williams, was screwed over so many times by Eminem s management team. I'm glad that Mr. Williams has managed to stay true to himself.

"Shady Bizzness" offers a gripping inside look at the tumultuous world of the music industry through the eyes of Eminem's bodyguard. With raw anecdotes and candid observations, the book provides a unique perspective on the challenges faced by both artists and those who protect them, shedding light on the paper-thin façade of fame."

Another side of Eminem

This book is told from a scorned person's viewpoint which is interesting in and of itself. That said it bears similarities with other unflattering tales of Eminem and is an important piece in the puzzle of understanding the real man.

Live from the wealth of others

This man was out for himself and this story even though meant to be one_sided shows his true intent to seek for himself wealth like the man who came from nothing
