When Slim Shady returned from a prescription-pill-induced absence back in May of 2009, the Hip-Hop world welcomed the always outspoken icon back with open arms. Then, when he donned the infamous accent and proceeded to bludgeon his way back into people’s hearts with Relapse, those same folk slowly retracted their steps and then sprinted the other way.

The album may have decreased in monetary significance over the years, but few can deny the calibration it stacks onto an artist’s creative worth. Who can come the most original, pick the best beats, wedge through that sliver of possibility of reinventing the wheel, all of those ideals factor into who’s really running this rap ish.

Since we all secretly await any news with “Eminem” and “release date” in the tagline, I thought it’d only be right to share that Relapse: Refill drops December 22nd. No, untangle your panties, it’s not a new album. Instead, Interscope decided to re-release Relapse double-disc style, with seven new songs of psychosomatic insanity to spoil your holiday cheer. Not bad. Read the rest of this entry »

Eminem getting tea-bagged at an MTV event isn’t really hilarious to me. Call me square; it’s whatever. Shit wasn’t really funny (THIS had the best dick-n-ball moment of the night).

For me, the real interesting thing last night was Em’s performance.

Earlier in the day Sway asked Em what it takes to put together a great live performance and he responded something to the effect of “It used to be pills and alcohol. Now it’s Diet Coke and Red Bull.” And it finally hit me Read the rest of this entry »

With soul bearing revelations like “Mockingbird” and “Like Toy Soldiers,” 2004′s Encore marked a personal triumph for the psyche of Marshall Mathers, yet the bulk of the album’s frivolous material resulted in the common recognition as being Eminem’s most forgettable work to date. To make matters worse, his health spiraled downward after the tragic shooting of D12 member and best friend DeShaun “Proof” Holton and chronically abusing pain medications. After a nearly-five year hiatus which seemed like an eternity to most fans, Slim Shady steps back on his high horse to break the circle of uncertainly with the thoroughly entertaining Relapse.

Not your typical Relapse however, with the title being a subliminal reckoning for the subconscious of Slim Shady to run amuck — who all but dominates the course of the project. Read the rest of this entry »

“AS I, fall deeper into a manic state
I’m a prime candidate for the gene to receive the drug addict trait
Blood pressure climbs at a dramatic rate
I seem to gravitate to the bottle of Nyquil® then I salivate
Start off with the Nyquil® like “I think I’ll just have a taste”
Couple sips of that then I gradually graduate
To a harder prescription drug called Valium like “Yeah that’s great” Read the rest of this entry »

They say “banned.” I say “it’s cheaper and easier to put a clip like this on the net to let it spread viral way.” Banned seems like a stretch because it’s only Em sitting in a tub of V8 and I’ve seen more blood on Grey’s Anatomy (Yo! Izzie lives). Nevertheless Read the rest of this entry »
