In the new book about Eminem “Not Afraid. The Evolution of Eminem” you can find not only the author’s point of view or Eminem’s thoughts but also accounts of those around him. For instance, Mr. Porter shared how difficult it was for him to make a decision to step into Proof’s place as a hype man:
I didn’t want to do it at first, when Marshall said it I felt the weight of it on me, which is something he probably doesn’t understand, because choosing that role you give a lot for yourself… it was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do…
It is a good thing though that Mr. Porter has not given up on himself completely and that he keeps working on his own projects such as his recent EP “While You Wait”.
