Have your say...be featured on my website!
Dear
readers,
I have been
advertising my book „ Eminem and the Detroit Rap Scene-White Kid In A Black
Music” a lot. The reason is that I want more and more people to know about the
existence of my book.
Like I said
it numerous times, a writer is nothing without his or her readership. I love
writing.
As most of
you would probably know, I have been a music journalist for a decade now,
expressing mainly on hip hop related subjects. “ Eminem and the Detroit Rap
Scene” is the fruit of a decade of work during which I gathered a lot of
information about Eminem as a person and an artist and about the boiling
Detroit rap scene that is so full of many talents. While I couldn’t t expose
everybody, I did my best to make some great local talents shine
I would
like to share this info with all of you, Eminem fans, Detroit rap lovers, hip
hop lovers or with anybody that is just curious about my book.
Today I am
addressing to the people who acquired a copy of my book or to all of you who
intend to buy it in the future. While I am encouraging you to write some
reviews on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, I would also be keen to expose your
review on my media, especially the recently created “ Eminem and the Detroit
Rap Scene on Blogger.
I d feature
your review, place a little photo of you and give a little presentation of you
on my different websites. Interested? Get back at me RIGHT NOW and let s go ahead
this venture together!

An in-depth look at the Detroit hip-hop community is the focus of “Eminem and the Detroit Rap Scene: White Kid in a Black World,” a just-published book by German-born, London-based author Isabelle Esling.
In the 170-page volume, Esling, who started theeminemblog.com in 2005, traces not only the Detroit rapper’s multiplatinum career but also his roots in the Detroit rap world, including his friendship with the late MC Proof as well as associations with underground rappers such as Kaos, Mystro, Awesome Dre, Joe to the D and many others. The book chronicles Eminem’s acceptance in that scene and the influence it had on his musical evolution.
“Eminem and the Detroit Rap Scene” retails for $15 and can be ordered at www.amberbooks.com. A digital version is also available for Kindle and Nook.

Why I created this blog...
I set up this blog in order to let all Eminem and Detroit Rap fans and hip hop fans know that I have my book entitled " Eminem and the Detroit Rap Scene-White Kid In A Black Music World " out.
"Eminem and the Detroit Rap Scene" is a very informative book. It is indeed the fruit of a decade of investigative work about the artist, musical and biographical facts.
I have also spent counttless hours investigating the Detroit rap scene, interviewing artists, reviewing CDs and songs.
" Eminem and the Detroit Rap Scene" is dedicated to the memory of Big Proof. It contains some excusive materials such as an unreleased Big Proof interview I did with the brilliant artist back in 2006, gives voice to early witnesses ( and protagonists) of the Detroit scene such as Uncle ILL, Omar de Fati, 5 ELA and many more.
Be prepared to be totally immersed into the D Town s hip hop world!

If you are fond of Eminem, you probably read a lot of books about the talented artist.
Some of them might be quite interesting and also deliver a lot of info. However, a lot of Eminem biographers seem to miss an essential point: a lot of them tend to separate Marshall Mathers from the context in which he grew up into: the Detroit scene.
An understanding of the Detroit rap scene is vital to understanding Eminem as an artist and also as a human being. He is not just some random white guy who is making black music; he actually grew roots in black America.
My book offers a good understanding of the rough, original context of Detroit City, its boiling hip hop scene. It features numerous local Detroit artists that I have interviewed and whose music I have reviewed for years…some of them, like 5 ELA are the original hip hop pioneers of the D Town.
I gave voice to most of them, and also featured opinions that were not in favor of Eminem s artistry.
With its global overview of the Detroit hip hop scene, its history of the D12 group, the precise info it contains about Eminems career and life story, it will certainly raise your interest and give you a new perspective of rap mogul Marshall Mathers aka Eminem.
My book is available directly on amazon and on Barnes and Noble. You will be able to read some exerpts of my book on Amazon.
Please be numerous to review it, as I value your feedback. I wish you all a nice and pleasant read!
Your author,
Isabelle Esling

National –
Amber Communications Group, Inc.'s imprint Colossus Books has published EMINEM
and the Detroit Rap Scene: White Kid in a Black Music World.
With never
before seen photos and interviews and dedicated to the memory of Big Proof, the
founder of D12 and Eminem, Eminem and
the Detroit Rap Scene: White Kid in a Black Music World will take you deep into
the heart of the Detroit Ghetto with Eminem, long before D12 and the Aftermath
with D12.
If you want
to understand Eminem, you have to understand where he comes from. You can't even begin to think about Eminem
without mentioning Detroit and the Detroit Rap Scene; Eminem and the Detroit Rap Scene: White Kid in
a Black Music World will bring you to the people, the rappers, the Detroit
ghetto, the early years, that inspired him and made him become the person he is
now.
I loved
Kaos and Mystro, Awesome Dre, Proof, Smiley, Prince Vince, Jo to the D, Detroit
Box, AWOL, DmW, a lot of local stuff. Awesome Dre’s ‘ Master Of Philology’,
Merciless Amir’s ‘ A Day Without A Rhyme’ and Prince Vince’s ‘ Changes’ were
some of my favorites. It made me feel
proud to be from the D and made the possibilities of making some noise out of
the city seem more realistic. I think I
owe a lot to the foundation they all laid, for sure. (Eminem).
Coming from
a poor background in Detroit, Eminem struggled hard while being underground and
made his own way to become a superstar. His life story is far from being a
fairy tale. Bullied at school, experiencing reverse racism on a daily basis,
coming from a dysfunctional family with a drug dependant history; Marshall Mathers carried the dream to become
a rapper: A dream that was so huge and
seemed so foolish, that neither his teachers, his family, nobody...except Big
Proof, and then Dr. Dre would take him seriously.
Growing up
on the black side of 8 Mile in Detroit, the young boy totally integrated into
the culture and focused on the same musical interest as his friends. Eminem also lived on the other side of 8 Mile
in Detroit, where he had a bunch of poor white friends as well. Experiencing both sides of the ghetto
provided Eminem with treasured bridges to both cultures.
With over
100 million albums sold worldwide, and Academy Awards, Grammy Awards, American
Music Awards, ASCAP Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, Gold and Platinum
Albums, under his belt, Eminem is one of the best-selling rap artists
ever. Discovered by legendary record
producer Dr. Dre, Eminem was signed to Dre's Aftermath Entertainment Record
Label in 1999 and he brought along his D12 rap group members and other Detroit
rappers, all who would go on to have their own record deals and sell Gold and
Platinum Albums.
EMINEM and
the Detroit Rap Scene: White Kid in a Black Music World chapters include: “The
Detroit Hip Hop Scene”; “The Dirty Dozen – The Story Behind the D12 Group”;
“Eminem’s Artistic Evolution"; “White Kid in a Black Music World".
Eminem and
the Detroit Rap Scene: White Kid in a Black Music World was written by Isabelle
Esling a graduate of the University of Metz, France, where she studied Liberal
Arts and Languages. Ms. Esling has been
teaching foreign languages in public and private schools as a German and French
teacher.
With a deep
passion for writing and music, black music in particular, Ms. Esling discovered
Eminem in 2001 and has been enthusiastic about his career and music ever
since. In 2003 Gavin Sheridan, a
technical writer and professional blogger offered Ms. Esling a position as a
contributing writer for his blog.
In 2005
with Gavins help Ms. Esling started the Eminem blog, www.theeminemblog.com/
where she
has internationally discussed and written about Eminem, the Detroit Rap Scene
and other Hip Hop related subjects.
Isabelle Esling has interviewed many important Detroit artists such as
Dina Rae, DJ Butter, Big Proof of D12 and many others. The Eminem Blog has gained her a worldwide
audience of readers and she has contributed to numerous Hip Hop websites such
as Music Mouth UK, Detroit Rap.com, Michigan Bands and D Townie. In 2011 Ms. Esling
was signed to Amber Communications Group, Inc.
Ms.
Esling's challenge was to get to the essence of the Detroit ghetto and its
rappers, so that she could find the real character of Marshall Mathers
III. That meant interviewing, sometimes
arguing, perhaps disagreeing and spending countless hours with the people who
Eminem grew up with and encountered on his way to the undisputed throne of rap.
Isabelle
Esling was born in Saint Avold, a little French town near the German
border. She currently resides in London,
England and can be reached for interviews at mathildeesling@yahoo.com .

Isabelle Esling, music journalist and author
My name is
Isabelle Esling. I graduated from the University of Metz, France, where I
studied Liberal Arts/ Languages. I have been teaching modern foreign languages
in public and private schools, mainly as a German and French teacher.
I have
always had a passion for writing and music, black music in particular. I discovered
Eminem in 2001 and was very enthusiastic about the artist’s great talent, which
motivated me to write about him. It also motivated me to explore the Detroit
hip hop scene that is full of amazing artists.
In 2003,
Gavin Sheridan, a technical writer and professional blogger offered me to be a
contributing writer for his blog, which got me started as a freelance music
journalist. In 2005, with Gavin’s help, I started The Eminem Blog where I
expressed about the artist, the Detroit hip hop scene and other hip hop related
subjects.
I have reviewed a wide range of CD’s and
interviewed some consistent artists such as Dina Rae, DJ Butter, Big Proof of
D12, just to name a few. The Eminem Blog gained me a worldwide audience of
readers. I have also contributed to numerous hip hop websites such as Music
Mouth UK, Detroit Rap Com, Michigan Bands and D Townie.
In 2006, I
did some interviews for Jason Matthews Detroit digital magazine ILL Mag.
Through the years I developed my craft, increased my knowledge of hip hop
culture and also expressed on various subjects such as spirituality,
humanities, beauty and lifestyle, movies etc…I keep writing at The Eminem Blog
and sharing my passion with my readers till now.
