Eminem: ‘About to Blow’
Shortly after Eminem became a superstar in 1999, thanks to “My Name Is,” LaChapelle shot a close-up photo of the rapper wearing headphones for the cover of Rolling Stone. Inside the magazine was a more-daring image of Em holding a stick of dynamite over his crotch. “He was about to blow up,” LaChapelle told Rolling Stone in 2004. “At the time, I knew him as Slim Shady. When they told me his name was Eminem, I was like, ‘Do you spell it like M&M the candy?'”
