Eminem — Relapse

If you're thinking Eminem's first album since 2004's Encore is anything different from what Shady's done before, think again. Despite the introduction of pills into the equation, Relapse is pretty much your typical Eminem album. Were this The Marshall Mathers LP or The Eminem Show, that would be great. But this is 2009, not 2000 or even 2002....

Eminem Presents The Re-Up

In the '90s, Eminem's unique balance of nose-picking offensiveness and finger-pointing defensiveness was refreshingly funny and flavourful. But then he started dressing like Annie Lennox circa "Sweet Dreams" and ditching Dre's bumping beats for his own ticking drums and slithering goth pianos. By 2004's Encore, Em's decade-old...

On the former side, nobody has more recognizable hits in the last six years and let's face it, Eminem's singles were always 90 per cent better than the rest of the tracks on his albums. On the other hand, his sound has been so...

I Fought The Law... For The Week Ending June 3, 2011

Courtney Love has been ordered to pay $35,769.72 U.S. (about $34,900 Canadian) in wages, penalties and interest to two former maids who recently proved she never paid them for cleaning up her house two years ago. Can you even imagine what it must be like to clean up Courtney Love's house? I guess that explains why they made about $16,600 ($16,200...

Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" Declared Most Controversial Song Of All Time

It seems people find domestic violence and misogyny more offensive than gay sex, anti-monarchism, drug use, murder, abortion, copious use of the word "fuck," suicide, atheism and the medical experiments at Auschwitz. The Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" has been voted the most controversial song of all time in a new poll by Britain's Performing...

The three-day event takes place July 9 to 11 in Balado, Scotland. Muse will headline the first day, while Eminem and Kasabian will top the bill on the 10th and...
