The Eminem Blog

Sometimes our whole world seems to break down and when we are going through harsh life situations, it looks like we hit rock bottom and are unable to stand up.
Liam owes a lot to Eminem’s music:
« Em is such an inspiration to me i would literally be dead if it wasn’t for him. »
Liam faced some serious charges in 2002 and was jailed. He was only released from jail a couple moths ago.
But it looked like life was even treating him harder afterwards. He had to cope with his father’s death and an alcoholic mother’s behavior. He was ready to take a bunch of pills in order to relieve his immense pain:
« I went to prison for a grievous bodily harm charge back in 2002 only got out a couple of months ago… A lot of stuff has gone on, the death of my dad being the most hard hitting to me……… after my dad died I moved in with my alcoholic mother, life got really shitty for me so i decided to take a overdose just a couple of weeks ago but as i was literally holdng the pills in my hand eminems song “When I’m Gone” came on and i just burst into tears and put the pills down…the song means so much to me now as does Em.. »
Eminem is a real inspiration to Liam and his recent song showed Liam that there was a way out of the world of addiction:
« He is my inspiration and thinking about him makes me feel strong. »
I’d like to address to the people who only see a bad influence in Eminem’s music. First of all, don’t judge the book by its cover: Eminem might appear as a full mouthed, always swearing and offensive emcee.
However, people gotta have a deeper look at the brilliant lyricist he actually is and also at the meaning behind his words. Many of us Eminem fans come from different countries and backgrounds, but most of us have something in common: we can relate to Marshall Mathers’ songs…maybe in very different ways, but his songs often have a strong meaning to many of us.
Next time you narrow minded are tempted to draw a very negative picture of Eminem, try to envision that his words have saved many people from drowning in their sorrows.
Thank you, Marshall, for the many lives you changed in a positive way through your music. Many of your fans owe you a lot.

I’d like to express on the subject and especially give you my opinion about what she says concerning Eminem’s mom, Debbie Mathers…stay tuned, folks…an article is coming soon:)

Ladies and Gentlemen, keep your eyes wide open. You are about to read the review of Hydro& Diabolic’s Target’s Of Society. This will be an exclusive review, because the group’s album ain’t out yet.
I will share my impressions about this brand new album with you. New music to your ears will be brought to you by the dynamic duo.
I recently gave you a short presentation of the group.
Now let’s get into depth into Hydro& Diabolic’s brand new album.
After a short introduction, the duo introduces you into their battle.
Definitely anti commercial and politically engaged against Bush, Hydro and his fellow Diabolic are come up with a very rhythmic track aimed at their haters, Y’all Ain’t Ready. Hydro and Diabolic are ready, though. The battle of Armaggeddon has begun against the society, the industry. Hydro and Diabolic are true representatives of the streets, who speak their minds and who don’t need to be featured in the Source magazine to tell the truth about our society’s happenings. Instrumentally, the violin background combined with scratches make the listener feel the dramatic dimension of the song, that resembles a dramatic symphony. Very beautifully handled by two gifted artists who take their passion for hip hop seriously.
Held Back, track Nr3 is an instrumental jewel: the artists mix up keyboard sounds with violin and piano sounds and shows the duo’s harsh struggle to make it in the rap game. Hydro and Diabolic show some good lyrical skills on that track too. Sing along and feel the rage and the passion.
Fuck The Society is probably the best song of the album. I highly recommend it to you. Put your middle fingers in the air and be ready for the two rebels to take you into their world. We live in a society where citizens can be looked at as victims. One single man, George W Bush, acts like a dictator and his actions have harsh consequences for people.
The tracks is very critical against an American policy that has made more victims among the underprivileged of this world than it has made winners.
The song starts like a gig. Violins introduce the rhythmic track that is followed by rhythmic beats and maracas sounds. Diabolic comes up in a very offensive way and with a gritty voice. Angry and determined to speak his mind, he introduces you into the song with passion.
You could barely sit on your chair while listening to the song unless you are ill. Fuck The Society is an obvious invitation to stand up and dance to the track. Excellent from the beginning to the end.
You Don’t Understand is another complaint straight outta the streets of Toledo for people to understand the harshness and struggles of street life. Life in the ghetto is a constant struggle of survival. Rhythmic and instrumentally well handled track.
Track Nr 7, The Last Time brings in a very somber atmosphere and gets very lyrical. It is certainly worth your attention.
I also recommend you Click Bang and Keep It Hype featuring Struggle.
Globally, Targets Of Society is a very well handled album. Hydro and Diabolic put a lot of lyrical efforts into this album. Instrumentals and beats are well handled too. Most of the tracks are very rhythmic.
This anti commercial and politically engaged album is definitely worth your buy. It will be available on Hydro and Diabolic’s my space acccount in a very near future.
Both emcees are very gifted and passionate at doing their thing. After listening to them, you probably wouldn’t care if I told you that they are white, because only talent matters.
I highly recommend you Targets Of Society. I gave it four stars.

Many people only see negative sides in Eminem’s music. Eminem’s music actually helped Liam to overcome some serious problems. I will share Liam’s story with you very soon…stay tuned:)

A convicted murderer obsessed with Eminem is now a suspect in another murder in London.
Christopher Duncan, a 21-year-old whose obsession with Eminem went so far that he had identical tattoos to the rapper, is being looked at for the murder of Margaret Muller, an American artist who was stabbed to death in Victoria Park, East London, in 2003.
Duncan, who was sentenced to life in prison in December for the murder of a law student, in an incident eerily similar to Em’s song “Stan,” was taken from prison for questioning at a London police station, where he is currently being held.

Detroit’s Hip-Hop Mayor Sets The Game Week Agenda
Saturday afternoon in the city — the sun is shining and the weather unseasonably warm for mid-January. Proof is running late for his Real D photo shoot and interview. He finally calls, but from inside Elysium Lounge … across the street. “What? Oh.” Minutes later he and his crew enter “The Vault.” Detroit is officially hot with the auto show now in park and Super Bowl XL finally revving up. Nobody cares what time we get started working or how long it will take. It’s a brand new day in The D. “Detroit, I love this city man,” Proof says. “When I was driving downtown, I am just looking all around — there are kids on the ice skating rink, right there is a Hard Rock Café. You all have seen it; all this stuff wasn’t here — that big-ass new Compuware building — it’s phenomenal to me. I saw how dead that Woodward strip right there used to be. Now it’s back alive. It’s crazy.”
Something Proof knows about is crazy. Just last week he was Eminem’s best man. His group, D12, are multi-platinum Motor City giants signed to the biggest rap label in the world. His latest record, Searching for Jerry Garcia, is an independent breakout released through Iron Fist Records — his label. “I just came back from overseas,” Proof says. “… Going to Australia in a little bit — and I got another European tour coming up in April. The record is really starting to pick up, but what’s so crazy isn’t that — it’s that I’m doing all this independently, working right here from the office downtown, right here from The D.”
The uncontested hip-hop mayor from Detroit sits down and stumps. A city with such an infamous reputation, Proof’s skeptical eye sparkles with a glimmer of new hope. “Hate is one thing that is irreplaceable … If you got rid of the hate, think about it, you really wouldn’t know what the love is,” Proof professes. “I am not going to say that everything is necessarily done right or put in the media right. I am a fan of the movie Wag the Dog and some of the things I see do seem a little not right, but I don’t care about anyone’s personal life or what they’re doing — the totality for me is the city looking good, and the city looks great to me right now. You know what? At this point the city is looking as great as the city has ever looked. Is Kwame [Kilpatrick] really that bad? I look at Detroit now and I’m like ‘Wow.’”
For Deshaun Holton aka Derty Harry aka Proof it usually takes a lot to make him say “wow” considering he can be running around the Playboy Mansion (“Hef’s got a fucking zoo.”), partying with Paris Hilton and Tara Reid in Puerto Rico (“Those girls are great.”) or misplacing a very important tuxedo after a pretty big wedding (“I just got yelled at.”) But beyond the jokes, underneath the characters, behind the image — is an artist. An award-winning freestyle lyricist who can be a hype man, front man and good man simultaneously. “I fell in love with hip-hop a long time ago and I never cheated on it. It’s been a great relationship,” Proof says. “I don’t know what else I’d do — if they just erased hip-hop off the map, I don’t know. I wouldn’t have any direction. I’d be just walking around aimlessly swearing … ‘Shit. Fuck.’”
No need for directionless obscenities as his dedication to the scene, his understanding of the craft and his natural creativity stand out strong on his solo joint Searching For …. Proof’s proper debut is an ambitious effort that summons the truest spirits of hip-hop, R&B and classic soul music (of course there’s that sly sense of humor and many ironic twists). Filled with a combination of production styles and musicians, some of the game’s finest including 50 Cent, Obie Trice, D12, Nate Dogg, B-Real, Method Man, Slum Village’s T3, Emile, Nick Speed, B.R. Gunna, Jewels, Salam Wreck and others helped fulfill Proof’s vision. “The record is something that a lot of people really wouldn’t expect. Something many people don’t know is that when it came out — it was pushed back a little bit — but a coincidence had it coming out on the anniversary of Jerry Garcia’s death, August 9.”
Searching For … marks a major moment in Detroit’s hip-hop history. Big Proof: CEO, running his business and the demand is high. The supply is right up there too. “To run an international business, and to be hands on — that’s when you graduate in the game,” Proof says. “I can probably rap forever, but won’t. There are no rapping Rolling Stones. It’s not going to happen and won’t ever happen; it can’t. Don’t even try it. Hip-hop comes from the streets; it’s edgy like punk rock is. If you’re not on the streets with it, you’re not going to be in tune,” Proof says. “Now’s the time when I’m working to help my Iron Fist labelmates Purple Gang, Supa MC, Woof Pac and new addition J-Hill graduate to that level.” | RDW

Global rating of the song: 3,75 stars
Rapper Terror, the rap bully from Hartford, Connecticut has released a new song called Theez Voices.
What? Are we listening to Guilty Conscience again? Not exactly. Terror used a sample of the song, but he put his own brilliant wordplays. On the dark Guilty Conscience background, Terror built up his own gangsta tales, personifying the devilish voices that guide a criminal’s mind.
Terror’s voice manages to give the well known melody a new sense and scary atmosphere made of drug deals and bitch slapping games.
The second verse gives the listener an idea of Terror’s lyrical skills. Very astute in his wordplays, Terror juggles with his words the same way an acrobat would do it with balls.
I particularly enjoyed those few lines:

HOOK SAID TWICE

I have recieved Hydro& Diabolic’s album yesterday. Hydro& Diabolic is a group from Toledo, Ohio, that I have reviewed a while ago. Their album isn’t out yet and I will have the great pleasure to review it for you in a near future…stay tuned, folks:)

Who are Dirty Politix? Dirty Politix is a rap group from the South West of Detroit (the Spanish side of Detroit City). Composed of Supreme, La Mayeya, S.W. Chyld, Xiomara, Crazy-L, G-Style, Mynt, E-Class and J-Roc, the group is very diverse in the use of its lyrics and sounds.
Supreme is the CEO of the group. Songwriter and producer of the group, Supreme puts a lot of energy into his work.
The Dominican La Mayeva puts the reggae flavor into Dirty Politix’ music.
Xiomara is a female singer who spices the music up with her Spanish taste.
S.W Chyld is the youngest, but certainly not the less talented emcee in the group.
Despite an accident (he got hit by a car) and the scoliosis that resulted from his accident, Crazy L always kept the flame and the passion alive. He comes up with some mad skills that will make you enjoy the way he spits on a song.
How do they sound?
Inspired by Dr Dre, the Neptunes and many more artists, Supreme and his crew have developed an original style of their own that reflects the diversity of ethnicities inside of the group.
While some tracks like Xiomara tonight have a soft Spanish sounding flavor, songs like Supreme Freedom Ring are more offensive and politically orientated. Supreme Freedom Ring is a very rhythmic track aimed against Bush’s policy. The anti Bush anthem is an interesting reflection about American history and the so many innocent victims of a greedy government’s policy. The instrumentals and the beats add to the revolutionary atmosphere of the track that is softened by Xiomara’s participation.
Enjoy Crazy L’s Just Like Daddy song. The track starts in a gentle way. Electric guitar sounds combined with keyboard sounds give a nostalgic dimension to the track. Crazy L soon takes over with his great quality skills and his very nice flow delivery. There is one way to describe this artist: brilliant, period. The tracks offers some insight about his life and dysfunctional family. Very well handled from the beginning to the end.
There are so many gifted artists in Detroit, so what makes Dirty Politix different?
I’d say the originality of their sounds. The talented Detroit artists have something different to offer than the usual Detroit sound. Check them out on their my space account.

A review of Dirty Politix…a group from the South West side of Detroit that doesn’t resemble any other Detroit rap groups you might have heard of before…stay tuned:)
