Eminem’s Back
Tuesday, October 21st, 2008And not just with his new track, “I’m Having a Relapse,” but with an autobiography that hits stores today.
The Way I Am recounts the rapper’s childhood and teen years, as well as his recent struggles with drug addiction and the death of his longtime best friend, rapper Proof.
While this is certainly a nice gesture, I think what Em’s fans really want out of him a new album. But he talks in the book about how he’s had trouble writing since Proof’s death.
“After he passed, it was a year before I could really do anything normally again,” he writes. “It was tough for me to even get out of bed, and I had days when I couldn’t walk, let alone write a rhyme … I have never felt so much pain in my life. It’s a pain that is with me to this day. A pain that has become a part of who I am.”
