The idea of taking a trip down memory lane first came to him after recording "Hell: The Sequel," his 2011 collaborative EP with fellow Detroit rapper and old friend Royce Da 5' 9". I want to say I'm confident that I've done that, but it's up to the listener to decide." "I knew that it would have to match a certain intensity and vibe and feel in order to call it. "I kind of just make what I make and however people take to it is how they take to it, or don't take to it," he says. Asked whether he's worried that people will take the project the wrong way or compare it unfavorably with its predecessor, he displays a convincingly Zen-like detachment. But he's never been the type to shy away from a challenge.
With its invocation of his seminal breakthrough album-which, at 10.8 million copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan, is also his best-selling (The Eminem Show is a close second at 10.3 million)-Eminem knows his eighth solo LP is likely to be subjected to intense levels of scrutiny. He's dubbed the project a "revisitation" of the first Marshall Mathers, taking the opportunity to re-examine "themes and chapters that I felt like I hadn't closed." The price of fame is just one of a handful of favorite topics that Eminem, now 41, wrestles with once more on new album The Marshall Mathers LP 2, due Nov. I mean, fuck, here it is 2013 and I still don't really have a total grasp on it yet and understand it." "When I was making records, I would just take my frustrations out about that.
"I remember it felt like shit was just flying by me and nothing really seemed real," Eminem says, recalling the media frenzy of his early years, during which he tangled with, among others, GLAAD and Lynne Cheney, wife of former Vice President Dick Cheney. "Wanted to receive attention for my music/Wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me." Listen below."I wanted the fame, but not the cover of Newsweek/Oh well, I guess beggars can't be choosy," he rhymes. It’s cool that Polo and Mozzy are getting paid, though.
Instead, it’s a sincere track about resilience with a typically moody beat. Sadly, none of those rappers discuss the trauma of having to convince your alien symbiote to go fight Woody Harrelson’s Carnage. Em has just shared the new Venom: Let There Be Carnage track “Last One Standing.” On the song, Em teams up with his usual hook-singer Skylar Grey and with two masters of emotive pain-rap, Chicago’s Polo G and Sacramento’s Mozzy. In other Eminem news, the new Venom sequel features a sequel to the song where Eminem yelled Venom’s name a bunch of times.
In the picture above, you can see the menu for Mom’s Spaghetti, and it must be noted that “vegan balls” sounds like a punchline from a circa-2002 Eminem lyric about Moby. MLive also has a photo of the spaghetti sandwich, which looks truly vile. When I went up there, I was crying, and he said, “It’s OK, it’s just spaghetti.” I told him I had waited my whole life to meet you, and he gave me a hug and signed my spaghetti container. So we went around the corner, and Eminem was giving out spaghetti. One fan named Erin Farrer tells a nice little story: Yesterday, Mom’s Spaghetti had its big opening, and Eminem himself handed out spaghetti to the first 10 people who lined up.Īs MLive reports, Eminem personally delivered spaghetti to a few fans, who were extremely excited about the whole thing. Now, Mom’s Spaghetti is a permanent restaurant in Detroit. In the past, Eminem has sold a product called Mom’s Spaghetti at pop-ups and given it away to frontline workers. He took a 19-year-old punchline about barfing on his sweater, and he turned it into a whole brick-and-mortar restaurant.
