About this listen

This drama graphic novel is based on Eminem's success and the factual ills of "white rapper" and hip-hop rap god, years before Eminem's Kamikaze CD. Shady Bizzness tell about real life events of his public and private lifestyle. The book details the good times, hardships, drug abuse, domestic violence, scandals, sex, near-death experiences, murder, oppression of employees, and bitter betrayal. Shady Bizzness is everything a parent despises, thugs love, groupies lust over, and wives hate!

loved it. couldnt stop listening to it... being an eminem fan it has made me feel different towards him as he isnt what i imagined him to be like maybe not so much this day an age but in the late 90s an early 2000s.

eminem in a different light!

Really insightful 👏 like a window into life on the road/on tour. It may well not bea 100% accurate & there's always 2 sides to a story, but all in all was riveting, could not stop listening.

What a load of rubbish, whining and whinging, didn't make it past the first paragraph! I didn't even want to give it one star but could leave this review without rating it.

Rubbish

This book is so obviously from a place of bitterness, despite the writers efforts to disguise that. He accuses Eminem of being racist and essentially a bad person yet toward the end says he has made several attempts to reconnect their friendship. Why? if he's such a bad person. This plus many other things show this book up to be nothing more than an attempt to get back at him. Why does he thunk we need to read the rantings of a bitter, jealous man? No amount of talking about his strong faith etc does anything but confirm this.

Great if you like a whole load of whinging
