Critic reviews

" Shady Bizzness was disturbing and intense! It was like a good scary movie!" ( People Magazine)

"It was brilliantly written!" (MSNBC)

"It's definitely a good read." (The Queen Latifah Show)

Good Book

I enjoyed the story. I thought it was believable; however, it was definitely a memoir that could be true or completely false. I did think the narrator was a strange pick. Having an older White gentleman using hip-hop terminology was a bit weird.

Great Story

Was thoroughly entertained. Im probably one of the bigger Eminem fans but I'm able to hear out the other people's perspective without going for the simple strawman arguments that everyone who's had a negative experience with em is money hungry. also im currently working in the security feild so that aspect of it appealed to me as well.

Book was okay

I don't believe everything Bryon has to say on the racial issues but I do believe the stories he told with him and Eminem. Interesting book overall.

What the enemy means for evil, God means for Good

The transparency in this book was strong. The decision to become Skin's bodyguard was pretty sacrificial. Byron's staying power/loyalty was nothing short of Godly because without that his focus would not have been possible. The Wad Squad was a huge motivational push toward him reaching his goal to get connections and promotions. The rebuilding of himself through God, after such bad experiences, is what intrigued me the most about this book.
