The series that goes behind the scenes of the world of hip-hop, THE INFAMOUS TIMES, premieres with THE ORIGINAL 50 CENT. 50 Cent may be a multi-platinum rap superstar, but he wasn't the first man to take the now-famous moniker. THE INFAMOUS TIMES uncovers the story of the first man to use the name, a street criminal who became well-known and whose persona was adopted by the rapper. This edition of THE INFAMOUS TIMES also contains interviews and stories with M-1 from Dead Prez and Eric B. THE INFAMOUS TIMES is the perfect visual magazine for fans of hip-hop music and culture.

This documentary on the enigmatic hip hop star Eminem aims to get a glimpse into his hectic life by speaking to a number of people close to him. Eminem shot to fame after a demo tape was picked up by acclaimed rapper and producer Dr Dre. Blown away by what he heard, Dre helped the future-star get a record deal, and produced his debut album. Millions of record sales later, unsavory aspects of the rappers' life began to seep into the public domain. But when his second album took off into the stratosphere, his private life became unconformable public, with lawsuits and bitter recriminations coming at him from all angles. His mother Debbie Mathers, grandmother Betty Kresin, uncle Todd Nelson, and many others all offer insight into Eminem's life here, providing some fascinating tales of his pre and post fame life.
