 * Comment: I'm finding some coverage, but it's slow going since this was initially released in 2000. The paperback version in 2002 is the one that got the majority of coverage. There's some reviews from various outlets listed on the Amazon page, but I'm loathe to use those towards notability unless I can find some sort of verification that they exist. I am finding this book mentioned in some academic works such as this one and this one, which is interesting. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   09:28, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * There is also something to be said for the ALA repeatedly listing it as a recommended book in various texts. Tokyogirl79  (｡◕‿◕｡)   09:30, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep: Nick Hasted, film journalist of The Independent, wrote an entire book using Angry Blonde as a primary source. It is entitled The Dark Story of Eminem  and would count for one non-trivial, sufficient, independent, published work.  Another using it as a source that's non-trivial is David Aretha, author of non-fiction for teens, used it for the book Eminem: Grammy-Winning Rapper.  I found it referenced in a text called At Home and Abroad: Historicizing Twentieth-Century Whiteness in Literature and Performance (Tenn Studies Literature).  It's quoted in The Routledge Dictionary of Modern American Slang and Unconventional English  - Page 545.  Tani Shaffer, PhD psychologist, used it as a source for Explicit Content: Why You Should Listen to the Shady Side of Hip Hop. British sociologist, David Gauntlett, used it as a source in his book Media, Gender, and Identity: An Introduction.  That's enough independent and non-trivial sources to persuade me to vote keep Alatari (talk) 06:09, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
