New Eminem Book In November.

[kkaniff]

This fall, a new book highlighting
Eminem’s lyrical prowess will be
available for fans and critics alike.
The new book entitled, EMINEM
AND RAP, POETRY, & RACE , is
written by Scott F. Parker and it
provides a critical analysis on the
rappers witty wordplay ability and
overall impact on the culture of
music. The foreword will be by Talib
Kweli.
Here’s what to expect in the new
book:
“Eminem is the best-selling musical
artist of the 21st century. He is also
one of the most contentious and
most complex artists of our time.
His verbal dexterity ranks him
among the greatest technical
rappers ever. The content of his
songs combines the grotesque and
the comical with the sincere and the
profound, all told through the
sophisticated layering of multiple
personae. However one finally
assesses his contribution to popular
culture, there’s no denying his
central place in it.
This collection of essays gives his
work the critical attention it has long
deserved. Drawing from history,
philosophy, sociology, musicology,
and other fields, the writers
gathered here consider Eminem’s
place in Hip Hop, the intellectual
underpinnings of his work, and the
roles of race, gender and privilege in
his career, among various other
topics. This original treatment will be
appreciated by Eminem fans and
cultural scholars alike.”

So Eminem's not involved in this? I'll probably still check it out anyway. Speaking of books, The Way I Am is such a great read. I'm not much of a reader but I love reading that book. Especially reading the lyrics of his old lyric sheets.
