It only takes one listen to Eminem's latest album, to see that the 37 year old mc is at a good place in his life. He's kicked a lot of old bad habits and it shows in his music.
'Recovery' just reached double platinum status and it probably has a lot to do with two things. He has a very loyal fan base and also because his subject material is not rehashed from past albums.
Em doesn't take his normal shots at annoying pop stars like… Continue
Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie" music video might not be as flashy as Kanye West's "Power," which debuted on the same night. But what the Joseph Kahn-directed clip (he helmed Britney Spears' "Toxic" and U2's "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of") lacks in artsy flair it makes up for in straightforward, brutal imagery.
The clip, which stars Dominic Monghan ('Lost') and Megan Fox, takes Slim Shady's lyrics about an… Continue

In the August issue of Spin magazine, Eminem talks at great length about his battles with prescription pill addiction (something he's done a time or six as of late), and the road to sobriety that led to his massive Recovery album.
