Eminem, miffed that Mariah Carey impersonated him in her latest video, "Obsessed," retaliated this week with the musical equivalent of an atomic bomb - a track that purports to reveal nasty details about their sex life (the rapper claims they had a relationship; she has long denied it) that would make Paris Hilton's sex-tape videographer blush.
