Megan Carter grew up on the road.
She lost her first tooth while flying over Montana. She celebrated her thirteenth birthday camped in a rickety, rainbow-colored motel in Joshua Tree, California; when the power went out, she and her dad played cards in the light of her birthday candles. She attended high school in six different states and never got a diploma. She learned how to drive in Austin, Texas; she also rode a bull there and subsequently broke her arm in two places. She lost her virginity to a boy in Washington who wore hand-patched jackets and crooned old Al Green songs to her afterwards. She'd watched her dad as he tuned guitars for ska musicians and heavy metal prima donnas; when she was old enough, she was allowed to do it for him.
So drawing up a contract to join Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg's Up in Smoke Tour didn't feel like too big of a leap outside of Megan's comfort zone.
It's a shadier place than expected.

The way he talks to me and the way he treats me is way over the line. I've never liked him and I never will and even though I've tried to keep it professional then I just can't because for some reason he doesn't like me either. "Have you considered that you should maybe just shut up sometimes?" I say rolling my eyes as I keep my eyes on the numbers on the paper. "Maybe I need to remind you that you actually work for me Jenny." Marshall says with arrogance in his tone and I can't help but laugh at him. "I work for Interscope, not for you." I correct him. "Just get this shit done." He says and throws me a stack of paper on the table. Jenny gets a new job as an accountant on Interscope Records where she's doing all the accounting on Shady Records, but she doesn't really get along with Eminem as they can't stand each other.

Say What You Say {An Eminem Story} {BWWM}
Enemies. Rivals. Two lyrical firestorms on a collision course. In 2001, the hip-hop world is on fire - and Amina D. is stoking the flames. Sharp-tongued, streetwise, and unapologetically bold, she clawed her way from Houston foster homes to the mic, becoming one of the fiercest rising voices in rap. Backed by Interscope's gritty, stylish imprint Chrome District Records, she's not here to play nice - especially not with Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem. Years ago, both artists caught the attention of Dr. Dre. One got signed. One got passed over. Now, they're both stars - and the industry can't get enough of their escalating war of words. What starts as lyrical jabs turns into full-blown diss tracks, headlines, and tense run-ins. But beneath the venom and verses lies something hotter than hatred - something neither of them is ready to face. Because sometimes the only thing more dangerous than your greatest rival...is the undeniable pull that won't let you look away. And in this game? Every verse hits personal.

8 Mile (H. Lowman)
Haven Mathers is the oldest daughter of Marshall Mathers, better known as Eminem, Slim Shady, the white guy from D12, and so on. She was the result of an affair Marshall had when he was young, but he still loved her all the same. She was his baby, and as she grew up, he was her best friend. When Haven hit the age of eighteen, she had to travel everywhere with her father because Kim didn't want her around. Kim claimed to love Haven as her own, but obviously that wasn't true. She traveled with him for two years, before she decided she wanted to get out on her own. Being the daughter of famous rapper, Eminem, she had to move to a place that she'd less likely get mobbed every time she went to a store or restaurant. Being on tour with him for two years made her a lot more recognized and pretty much famous than the rest of her sisters. It was a blessing and a curse; a blessing to rub in Kim's face, but a curse because Haven wanted to be normal sometimes. Anyhow, the young girl decided to move to Charming, California. The only people who knew where she went was her father and her sisters. Nobody else was allowed to know, and she liked that. She didn't expect that living in Charming would put her in a completely different lifestyle, but she also still had to deal with the fame and recognition from her father's fans, but also the criticism about her family, especially her father, in the news and to her face. It was a pain, but one man started to make it better. Things don't turn completely as planned when her father finds out about him, especially when he learns that the man is the same age as him. He gets angry, but he'd do anything for his girls, so would he really hurt her for being with the man?Complete

Heiress to the Chicago Bears, she was raised in private suites, gala ballrooms, and under the public's careful eye. Her world is all bright lights and clean lines. Her boyfriend is a hometown hero. Her smile is flawless. Her heart is not. Marshall Mathers isn't trying to be seen.

He's a father now, quieter, older, haunted in ways the stage never fixed. They meet in a stadium suite on game day. She shakes everyone's hand. She just nods at him. He's ready to look away-until she doesn't look at him like anyone else does. He doesn't know her brother was a fan. She doesn't know how often he thinks about the boy he used to be. She's grieving the past she couldn't save. He's grieving the version of himself he can never go back to. It's not love. Not at first. It's something quieter. Older. Slower.
