Pegged as his comeback album, 'Relapse,' comes five years after the rapper's last offering, the multi-platinum 'Encore' album. Since 'Encore,' the rap star stepped out of the spotlight and reemerged in late 2008 with the buzz single 'Crack a Bottle,' featuring longtime friend and producer Dr. Dre and labelmate 50 Cent.
The video for 'We Made You,' the first official single off 'Relapse,' proved that Eminem was back to his ol' wacky ways in the 'Rock of Love' spoof video. As expected, the video has caused a stir amongst Eminem critics and fans/supporters of his latest victims. Bill O'Reilly publicly bashed the rapper for poking fun at Sarah Palin in the video. The MC also takes a stab at Bret Michaels, Jessica Simpson, Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan.
"I wanna say it's not necessarily intentional bashing in it," Eminem said. "It's not necessarily taking deliberate shots at people. ... Yes, it is. What the [expletive] am I talking about?"
'Relapse' hits stores on May 19.

sounds like Steve might be jealous of someone else's success...

Sounds like Steve needs to go back to school. Why do people make these comments when all it does is make them look stupid? Who cares what the cover of his CD has on it? If you don't like him don't buy his CD. You have my $15 on May 15th Em. I can't wait. Keep up the good work.

THIS MAN IS IMMATURE. HE HAS NO BUSINESS SINGING AND MAKING FUN OF SARAH PALIN. MAY IT COME BACK ON HIM 100 FOLD!!! SARAH PALIN IS A GOOD CHRISTIAN WOMEN. REMEMBER WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. SATAN WILL PAY YOU DOUBLE FOR WHAT YOU DISH OUT.

okay bill, lets calm ourselves, there was no need to go all capital letters on us. is sarah palin more than one woman? oh yea, she is every woman and yet none of them. Christian is obviously a very loosely defined term and affords no real merit anyway, if you actually know anything. and saying that she was good is just downright silly. I dont think sarah palin is good at anything, at least nothing ive seen her try to do. And shouldn't redemption come from God? i would think Satan would be happy with the bad things people do. Just a few of my observations.

ok eminem is a legend and always will be. one of the first white rappers he opened up people's eyes and to some people who don't have as much as the rich bitches in this world understand where he is coming from. if you listen to his words he has great meaning and is an idol to most kids. if you don't like people that speak their minds and tell it like it is then you're stupid and you don't know what the real world is cause he is trying to show people in his work
