Despite staggering album sales, sold-out concerts, and the complete, breathless attention of legions of fans and the media, Eminem himself remains an incorrigible enigma. Angry Blonde offers an unprecedented look into the mind of a modern musical genius. "Eminem has not only become the legitimate heir to Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G., he’s arguably the most compelling figure in all of pop music."

--Newsweek

"Eminem proves himself a peerless rap poet with a profound understanding of the power of language."

--Entertainment Weekly

"His rhymes sting like a lungful of crack."

--Details

"Talent will overcome, and Em is having the last laugh His off-the-beat flow, way-offthe-beat lyrics and looney-tunes presentation place him in a class by himself."

--Rolling Stone

The setting was a hotel room in Los Angeles, November 1998. Eminem was in rare form. He’d literally been rhyming all day and was showing no sign of letting up. Words were flowing from his mouth like blood from a stab wound--shocking words, bizarre words, hilarious words. I’m sure the pills and the Bacardi had something to do with it, but his manic energy and twisted humor were forces to behold. Witness the pale presence with a Pentium rhyme processor for a brain: the lifelong rap fan who consumed thousands of songs, logged and sorted them for reference, yet never repeated another rapper’s words. He’s breaking you down with a brilliantly funny punch line, but he’s already composing the next three lines about your boy.
