excerpts from The Real Eminem: Broke City Trash Rapper
During the period of these interviews Eminem’s life was racing one-hundred million miles an hour yet he managed to maintain a grip on reality by sticking with the crew he came with up consisting of Proof, Bizarre, Royce da 5”9, Porter, DJ Head, The Brigade and Manager Paul Bunyon, AKA Paul Rosenberg. Eminem firmly placed anyone else in his midst in the role of an extra, not to be trusted. He may have given the odd person a play but he steadfast refused to do anything of note for anyone outside of his core crew.
A glance inside the book
Each chapter will unravel tall tales and give you new insight. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to learn what really happened.
A powerful Detroit City pride and mentality affected Eminem and Proof. They spoke on the hardships of coming up out of the raw city and their love for it despite the fact it failed to support them during their independent days. Eminem elaborated on what he had in store for those who had no love for him and his crew in the past with the tables now turned, as he was becoming a household name. He and Proof also took turns bashing Insane Clown Posse.
Perhaps the most pivotal song in Eminem’s cannon is “Just The Two Of Us” off The Slim Shady EP. It was the song that took Dr. Dre by storm and prompted him to sign Eminem to Aftermath Entertain- ment. It was then re-recorded to include a feature by Eminem’s daughter Hailie’s and re-released as “’97 Bonnie & Clyde” on The Slim Shady LP.
Appealing direct to a legion of downtrodden and disenfranchised poor youth left to fend for them- selves and sink or swim in life, Eminem struck a chord within a demographic who previously only had Country music or Heavy Metal to relate to and many of them weren’t hearing it. The moral majority and mainstream media, who did not grow up in the same manner and experience similar life situations, failed to connect with Eminem. He quickly became the most scrutinized and de- bated person in the United Staes of America, and entered the infancy stage of dealing with and being under the microscope and monitored at all times. Eminem and Proof went deep into the thought process behind his lyrics and sounded out why they were persecuted by the media and moral majority.
During the period of this interview Eminem and D12 were at war with DJ Lethal and Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit. The roots of the war and its first battle date back to when Eminem and Everlast had beef. They had briefly crossed paths and each felt disrespected by the other. Everlast directed a veiled threat in a verse towards Eminem on the Dilated Peoples remix for “Ear Drums Pop”. Eminem re- sponded on the B-side of D12’s debut single, “Shit On You”, with “I Remember (Dedication to Whit- ney Ford)” where he went in hard on Everlast. Everlast then replied with the hardest diss ever directed at Eminem on “Whitey’s Revenge”.
