After more than a decade in the game, Eminem endures as one of the most popular celebrities. The world's most successful rapper continues to break records in the modern era, recently reinventing himself after a drug overdose to hold his own against viral sensations like Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber. Controversy is one quality that Marshall Mathers III has never failed to deliver in spades. From his fledgling rhymes with New Jacks and D-12 through to Billboard chart-busting epics like My Name Is, The Way I Am and Stan, his body of recorded work has been an exercise in lyrical genius, satirical wit and enjoyably gratuitous offensiveness. This book examines, for the first time, the entire oeuvre of the immensely gifted poet and street culture purveyor that is Eminem. This is the definitive critical study of the man dubbed by Newsweek as the most compelling figure in all of pop music: it's a quest for the visceral, troubled raison d'etre of Eminem.

Who was just seventeen and made Paul's heart go boom? Who was Lady Madonna? Was there really an Eleanor Rigby? What inspired Happiness is a Warm Gun? Why was Paul the walrus and what inspired the lyrics to Ringo's Octopus's Garden? In The Complete Beatles Songs, Steve Turner shatters many well-worn myths and adds a new dimension to the Fab Four's rich legacy by investigating the events immortalized in The Beatles' music and now occupying a special niche in popular culture's collective imagination. This beautifully packaged 2015 edition has been fully revised and updated with a complete set of printed lyrics to accompany each song, used with exclusive permission from the band's music publishers, and includes new information on many songs.
