he did, there's a lyric sheet in the book, where he assumes the role of a troublemaker, which is what people identified Ronnie as, and showed how they perceived him wrong... but yea he's never released a real song, then again he didn't even drop a verse for Bugz, i wonder why..?



i dont think he was that close with bugs, remember he is only in D12 coz bugs died.


and about his uncle he doesnt have a tribute song but he mentions him ALL the time and that "trouble maker" track's lines made it into alot of slim shady (forgive me for not remembering the exact track and lyrics) "someone took my bike away till i mrudered my guinie pig and stuck him in the microwave" < that was ronnie that did that not eminem.

also he dealt with his death in a different way then vetned his anger about his death out in his music.


read the book people dont cum over the pictures!!

I remember the references but in cleaning out my closet he makes it seem like his brother. So that's why I got it mixed up.

gahhhhhhh, i dont get paid for another week - but then im going straight to my towns barnes and nobles and copping this shit - this is like the only book i will most likely read from front to back. i usually hate reading, but this book seems so interesting, especially when its written by one of your favorite musicians.

i've just finished reading the book. too short lol i feel like i could read 200 more pages and not get bored. since the moment i started and read the introduction and what he wrote about Proof, i knew it's gonna be a good book. he writes so.. easily, i felt like it's coming straight from his heart - it just seems so honest to me.

it made me think about him as a troubled guy. at times it seemed like he's a bit bitter, but then he makes a joke and sounds like he's got it all sorted out now. i honestly say i expected something else and i was positively surprised by everything. starting from the cover and pictures to what he says about his childhood, youth, feelings, struggle, family and career - it's all so honest. i guess that's what's captivated me the most, his honesty in everything what he says.
