...artistic and social restraint is thus the thematic connection between much of the work. Javad Montazeri contributes a touching photo essay of women swimming, fully clad, and sadly ponders the fact that when his daughter is 9 she too will be forced to swim in the same restrictive garments. Rapper Mehrak Golestani, a.k.a. Reveal, writes about secret house parties where DJs silence the decks at 5 a.m. so that the first call to prayer can be heard. Khosrow Hassanzadeh satirizes official portraits of "martyrs" in the war with Iraq by painting his friends in the same style...

He sells himself a bit short: in addition to being a devoted father, he's a talented graphic artist, and the book contains a series of impressive sketches depicting the superheroes of rap (Tupac Shakur, 50 Cent, himself) and comic books (the Incredible...
...after word of his talent began to spread, his road to success was plagued with potholes. He split with one manager over a Burger King Whopper - Eminem couldn't afford one and figured any manager unwilling to shell out for a client's lunch wasn't serious about the rapper's prospects. And while the opening scene in 8 Mile - in which his character suffers stage fright during a rap battle - may have been cinematically embellished, he "choked" in the finals of a 1997 battle in Ohio, returning to Detroit "depressed and totally broke...
