Entertainment Weekly just released these exclusive excerpts from Marshall’s new autobiography “The Way I Am” which hits stores on October 21st. In the first excerpt he talks about his much publicized temper, and in the other he mentions his run ins with fellow musicians such as Christina Aguilera and Moby.

On his temper:
“My mood can change quickly. It’s always been that way. When I was drinking, I could be in a good mood ‚Äî just loving everybody and feeling like everything was great ‚Äî then somebody would say the wrong shit to me, and before you knew it there was nothing my bodyguards could do to stop me from reacting and at least punching, spitting, or kicking a few times before they could get to me.“

On beef with other musicians:
“I had said some things about her (Christina Aguilera) in the past, Moby had said some things about me, and I had said some things back about him. So I’m sitting there next to Proof, and they bring in Moby and sit him like two rows directly behind us‚ĶI’ve got Moby behind me, and Christina up onstage, and then thiis {Triumph] dog puppet gets up in my face‚ĶAll I saw was Moby and Christina and this dude who’s sticking his hand in my face, trying to be funny. I didn’t even see the puppet, you know? My natural reaction was, ‘Get the fuck out of my face. Get your fucking hand out of my face.’ And that’s when I kind of lost it and a half. I should have kept my composure, but instead I stuck my fingers basically on Moby’s nose. Right in his face, like, ‘Fuck you.’”

Looks like this book is going to be one interesting read. And in perfect time for Eminem’s new album. It’s like this was all planned or something.
