New interview from the author/photographer. Damn he's hard to get access to. I bolded the part where she talks about when it shot. Some people think it's recent, it was a year ago at Coachella.

Could the same be said for Eminem?
Maybe, yeah. I don’t think I would have gotten the interview with him [a few years ago]. But in a way, now, it kind of makes it more special, because he doesn’t do any interviews. And any time he does do something, he really means it. He doesn’t need to pimp his latest album.

How do you get someone as notoriously reclusive as Jack White to agree to do your book?
These people can do anything. I don’t think any one thing would have made them want to do it, no matter who else is in the book. Eminem is the best-selling artist of the decade. He doesn’t need to do my little book. It’s just really a choice of his manager, or if they believe in the project, or if they believe in the sincerity of me, maybe. … Jack White took about a year. It’s funny, because in the beginning, I thought, ‘If I can just find somebody’s brother, I can just ask them.’ It doesn’t work like that. ‘My hairdresser knows his cousin.’ It doesn’t work like that. It’s really a business, and you have to find the right channels.

Was anybody completely different from their public persona?
Eminem. But I guess I didn’t know what to expect. It took me two years to get a shoot date, and then six months to get the interview. The shoot was done at Coachella, in Palm Springs. I went there and photographed him … at this location where he was staying, at the Parker-Palms Hotel. We got a little conference room and set up our backgrounds. But they had like five of his security guards come up and sweep the place, and then they stayed after they swept it just to make sure it was cool. Even though I had been conversing with his managers for two years, and they knew me pretty well, I guess it was just a precaution. You never know. There are crazies out there. [Eminem] comes in and he’s just the sweetest, nicest guy, [not] the big personality that he once was or is maybe still in there. He was just quiet and nice.

He’s matured quite a bit.
Maybe that’s what it was. He’s 40 now, so probably a lot has changed since he was 20. But he’s just so sweet and so nice. We talked about pretty much everybody in the book. He was excited that Emanuel Steward was in it, because I guess Emanuel had trained him.

You’re dealing with security and handlers, but in the book, Eminem talks about going to Walmart.
That’s what surprised me the most. He’s a real person. He definitely loves his daughters, loves his family. He loves just being at home. I don’t see him as a flashy guy.

I'm surprised at needing FIVE bodyguards to sweep a conference room.....or maybe they swept the whole floor.

Imagine eating some nacho cheese of Eminems dick while he plays you his new album exclusively. And then right when you think he's done, he rubs jalapeno slices on his nipples and tells you to lick off the capsaicin because it's burning, but that pain just makes his dick even harder. So he brings out more nacho cheese and you go back down for round two.

Anybody got a link to where those Jordans can be purchased? They are DOPE!

[RayRay33]

I just know they are called jordan spizike, but it could be any colour he waers, because its a black/white picture, nut most likely they are black/white.

[Trimss]

They're the blue ones, custom made.

[RayRay33]

thought he gave his last pair away in this detroit rubber webseries?

[Trimss]

The picture is kinda old so I don't know. I thought he would wear "his" jordans, might be other ones though.

Sorry to have to bump this, but did anyone end up buying the book? I'm considering it, but it would cost me a total of 65€ ($80)....dunno if it's worth it?
