The Eminem Blog

WE’VE heard about bum raps, but would the real Slim Shady please cover himself up.

Foul-mouthed US hip-hopper Eminem bared all on a recent midnight run in Los Angeles wearing nothing but his socks and trainers.

So why was Em, who turns 32 on Friday, letting it all hang out?

Apparently, it’s in aid of the video for his new single which appears on his fourth album, Encore, due out in November.

The rap star is no stranger when it comes to courting controversy. In the past he has been criticised for lyrics which have described drowning ex-wife Kim Mathers, killing mentor Dr Dre, and beating up rival gang members.

But this is his cheekiest move yet.
