Anyone read this? I've never read a book in my life and im thinking of picking this up. I mean what's a better start to becoming a book-worm than to read up on your favourite homie.

Could you ellaborate? Is it him written from a third-eye perspective or is it more self-biographical as in him explaining his childhood/rise to fame..

Lots of rare pictures and cool facts. Also has a bunch of his lyrics pages and him recalling old memories. I'm pretty sure there's lyrics from unreleased songs / track titles from MMLP.


Thanks. Sounds fucking awesome man. Yeah I actually saw a pic of one of those lyric pages. Definitely picking this up and finishing it.

Not apart from textbooks in school. I do recall my teacher in 5th grade forcing us to read a book though. Think I ended up almost finishing a novel about a brother and sister fucking. Some fucked up shit.

Books? Not really, no. I've read novels and stuff in the past though. I'd much rather read it on the internet than pick up a book.

This book is awesome though.


That's all I need to hear!

I did a book report on this in high school, it came out awesome too. This book is really what made me want to know everything about Em and follow him like I do.

Yes, it's written in first person, as any autobiography is.

It was co-written, ghost-written, whatever you'd like to call it, by Sacha Jenkins. If I remember correctly, he got the information from him in a series of one-on-one interviews and then put it all together in a comprehensive book in his own words.

This. Btw, you (@OP) should start reading books, and I don't read a lot but I like to think that I read quality stuff. So 4-5 books a year, if it's some dope shit, it's much worth it. I also don't read books based on being creative i.e. stories etc. Not that those are bad but they aren't really informative of what is going on in the world, like with facts and stuff. If you're interested, I suggest you to check out something from Cornel West, Noam Chomsky, or Howard Zinn.
