A Beautiful Mess
Chapter 54

Eminem was standing seven feet away from Gabi and to say she was freaking out would be an understatement. Seven feet from her was one of her biggest inspirations for music because he came from a terrible neighborhood in 8 Mile Detroit and made it all the way to the top just so he could give his daughter a better life. Way better then his because of what he went through, his uncle's suicide, his mother having that one thing where she kept saying he was sick so people would feel sorry for her and him, he was brilliant at rapping, no one was like him at it. The song Lose Yourself was amazing. One of her favorites by him along with When I'm Gone and The Way I Am. He was best when he was mad.

Her favorite recording artist was standing in front of her.

"can I help you?" Gustavo asks as he walks over to Eminem with his arms crossed.

"are you Gustavo Rocque?" Eminem asks him.

"yeah, and who are you?" Gustavo asks him.

how could Gustavo not know who he was? He was an internationally known rapper! He has three number one singles in the United States, seven in Australia! His most successful songs were Lose Yourself, Crack A Bottle and The Way I Am in this country quickly followed by Without Me and The Real Slim Shady! He was the star of 8 Mile! That movie was super successful! It won like twenty awards! Gustavo not knowing who he was, that was just insane.

"my name is Marshall Mathers, but people know me as Eminem or Slim Shady," Eminem replies to him as he puts his hands in his hoodies pocket.

"how may I help you Mr. Shady," Gustavo replies.

"I hear you have signed the recording artist Gabi McCoy," Eminem tells him.

oh my god, he was asking about her!

Gabi nearly falls backwards after she hears him say her name but Kendall puts his arm around her waist keeping her from falling.

"yeah, what's it to you?" Gustavo asks him.

"you honestly have no clue who I am, do you?" Eminem asks him.

"sorry, not a clue," Gustavo replies.

"well, like I said, my name is Marshall, but you may recognize this 'hi, my name is Slim Shady,'" Eminem says.

"sorry, not ringing a bell," Gustavo replies.

"what about this. 'cause I'm Slim Shady, yes I'm the real Slim Shady, all the other Slim Shady's are just imitating so wont the real Slim Shady please stand up,'" Eminem quickly raps.

Oh my god, he just rapped in front of her! Eminem just doesn't go places and rap for everyone! He wanted a normal life. He rarely left his house except for work and stuff for his daughters. He only left the house to prove to his family he could.

"yeah, still don't know you," Gustavo says.

"how about this, 'I am whatever you say I am, if I wasn't, why would I say I am, in the paper, the news everyday I am, the radio wont even play my jam, I don't know its just the way I am," Eminem quickly raps again.

"yeah, no, I do not know who you are," Gustavo says.

"are you serious?" Eminem asks him "I said I'm sorry mama, I never meant to hurt you, I never meant to make you cry through the night, so tonight I'm cleaning out my closet,"

Gabi about falls again but Kendall catches her before she can. Eminem was seven feet from her, rapping lines to his songs and he was asking about her! how awesome was that!

"this looks like a job for me, so everybody just follow me, cause we need a little controversy, cause it feels so empty without me," Eminem raps.

"should I know that?" Gustavo asks him.

"ok, fair enough," Eminem says "his palms are sweaty, knees week, arms are heavy, there's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti, he's nervous but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down the words wont come out, he opens his mouth but the words wont come out, he's choking now, everybody's joking now, the clock's run out, times up, over bloah, snap back to reality, oh, there goes Rabbit, he chocked, but he's so mad, but he wont give up on that, easy no, he wont have it, he knows his whole back's to the ropes, it don't matter, he dope, he knows that but he's broke, he's so stagnant that he knows that when its back to the mobile home, that's when it's back to the lab again, yo, this whole rhapsody, he better capture this moment and hope it don't pass him, you better lose yourself in the music, the moment, you own it, you better never let it go, you only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo,"

"am I honestly supposed to know any of this?" Gustavo asks him "because I honestly don't"

"ok, white America, I could be one of your kids, white Erica, little Eric looks just like this, white America, America loves my shit, I go to TRL, look how many hugs I get," Eminem raps. "white America, I could be one of your kids, white America, little Eric looks just like this, white America, Erica loves my shit, I go to TRL, look how many hugs I get,"

"ok, I am sorry, but this is all foreign to me," Gustavo says "its like your speaking Japanese with a German accent,"

"ok, my name is Marshall Mathers, my fans call Eminem or Slim Shady, I am a well known international rapper, I stared in the movie 8 Mile which was a semi-autobiographical about my life, I have currently have seven CD's out, The Slim Shady LP, The Marshall Mathers LP, The Eminem Show, Encore, Curtain Call and Relapse, I am working on my next album Recovery," Eminem says "I am the founder of Shady Records and I am very successful in the music business,"

"ok, now will you tell me what you are doing here," Gustavo says to him "I am very busy today,"

"like I said before, I heard that you signed the recording artist Gabi McCoy," Eminem says.

"yes, I have, and she is signed to Rocque Records, not this Shady Records…" Gustavo says.

"oh, I only produce Rap," Eminem says "I am not here to offer her a record deal with me,"

"then what are you doing here?" Gustavo asks him.

"I am interested in recording my new song, Love The Way You Lie with her," Eminem answers him.
