"Relapse + Recovery = EMINEM is the TRUTH!"

To quote the man himself...."they call me Slim Roethlisberger.." What BETTER way to start off this blog then with a reference my boy made to the MAN Big Ben (even though it wasn't meant to be a compliment necessarily, but hey if you wind up in an Eminem track, it IS a compliment)! Let me just say that it is VERY rare that I find an artist that I can truly say, I mean TRULY say that I thoroughly enjoy. However, that artist is Marshall Mathers, a.k.a. "Slim Shady," a.k.a. EMINEM! Everything this guy creates is magic. I was hooked many years ago, even though we never heard INFINITE and all the other unreleased songs from the original SLIM SHADY EP were never released but this guy is the TRUTH! I challenge ANYBODY to tell me he's not. I challenge ANYBODY to mention the top 5 MC's of ALL time and NOT mention his name.

As I sit here and type this blog, I am listening to the "RECOVERY" album. Let me say that I would honestly rather be listening to this c.d. then doing anything else right now. This is seriously going to be on repeat for lord knows how long. Just when I think the song that just finished can't any better than the next, he hits you with some new shit! Eminem is fucken insane and at the same time a complete genius! This album has gotten me back to the feelings I have whenever I listen to the MARSHALL MATHERS LP. It's THAT fucken good! I think in this moment, this album is my drug, my ecstasy, my LOVE, my boyfriend, my great ending to some AWESOME sex. This album brings us back to the SHADY man at his best! He's always speaks to a place inside me. I feel the pain he talks about and the heartaches he feels. It's crazy, but I've never actually listened to someones music and have it hit me in such a way that LIFE makes a bit more sense to me knowing that even famous people feel the same shit too!

If I were writing his review, which I suppose in essence I am, I would have to give him 5 mics. Those who read XXL know what this means. I'll say one further, if he is not nominated 10 times over for this album, I will never buy anybody else's album ever again. As the songs change from track 1 to 2, from 2 to 3, and so on the anticipation grows. It's just a constant build of euphoria that keeps taking me higher and higher! GOD DAMN THIS ALBUM IS THE SHIT!

MARSHALL MATHERS is back spitting HIS truth. SLIM SHADY is as crazy as ever. He leaves no stones unturned. EMINEM is back to claim his crown as one of the top MC's although in MY life, in MY opinion, he IS the BEST....PERIOD!

I didn't have a problem with the "RELAPSE" album. It to me came from his DARK side, the side that only SLIM SHADY sees. That's where I saw that music heading. However, he KNEW it wasn't his best. Even with the surprise artists that make an appearance on this album (Pink,Rihanna, and Weezy) this album is a complete SHADY omage. Pink adds FIRE to a rock-esque themed song and even Rihanna with her soft "I love the way you lie" verse is SICK! It fits! Weezy adds his flames to the track, "No Love" when he spits, "Yeah my life a bitch, but you don't know nothin' bout' her...been to hell and back, I can show you vouchers." DAMN SON, I am jumpin' with joy that my boy is back.

TOUR TIME = $$$$$$$

If you haven't heard this album, go get your copy, hell get 2!

ENJOY the ride with EMINEM and his 2 alter egos.

I'm going to continue my ride.

SLIM ROETHLISBERGER is back, he never left, he was merely sidelined for a bit BUT make no mistake, he IS back to reclaim the TROPHY that is rightfully his!

TRUTH!
