Well, the long wait is over!!!…and maybe it should have been a longer one.
As a long time Eminem apologist, I have usually been able to find the forward thinking in his musical choices or the reasoning behind his vile and sometimes destructive lyrics. But this time? It seems just to be crass for the sake of being crass. And I don’t like it.
I have to partially credit Slim, because he again is trying to do something different and non-conformist and many times it comes out opening ears and progressing the hip-hop genre. But this time? This time the record just kinda stinks. And it hurts me to say that.
Check out the new single “We Made You” for his forthcoming album “Relapse” and tell us what you think. Leave inflammatory comments below.

Yeah but really…are you so surprised? I think you’re giving slim too much credit. I’d say it’s more like a nice surprise when he DOES do something brilliant (which he has - on occasion) than surprise when he doesn’t.
It’s quite sad, really. He tries so hard to make fun of and hate on the institutions of Hollywood and the celebrity madness…when he himself is now a part of it. He is now the very thing he hated back in the late 90’s and early 00’s. This is just a sad attempt to return to those days, but it’s already too late. The damage is done.
