The news of Eminem’s remarriage with Kim might have rejoiced family members, friends and many of his numerous fans worldwide. Eminem’s grandmother, however, didn’t seem really pleased with her grandson’s decision to remarry Kim.
In 2003, when Marshall was about to take the same decision, she didn’t seem to be that opposed to a reconciliation and remarriage between Em and Kim.
She even pointed out how much her grandson was family oriented and how much he wanted to work out his relationship with Kim.
It looks like she isn’t in the best terms with her grandson now. Proof is that she hasn’t been invited to his recent marriage.
Betty Kresin has had an argument with Marshall in the past, because he wanted to use her son Ronnie’s voice on a tape as a tribute. After one year of silence, Betty reconciled with her grandson.
Apparently, Betty thinks that Marshall did a great mistake with his recent marriage. It also looks like she doesn’t really like Kim:
« Boy, has he made a big mistake. No pre-nup or nothing. She’ll take everything and leave. Kim is a nasty, mean woman. »
According to her, Kim turned Marshall against her:
« We’ve never been anything but nice to her but she’s turned Marshall against us. I think she’s very controlling. »
Anyway, isn’t it up to Marshall and only to him to choose the person he wants to live with?

Miz Korona is a female Detroit rapper…she is quite a legend in Detroit City.
Many people (including me) discovered her in 8 Mile while she was battling Xzibit at Detroit Stamping (in the role of Vanessa in the lunch truck scene)…
Miz Korona battles with the power of the lion, she comes up with a harsh and offensive style…get some more insight about an artist who has my full respect….stay tuned, people:)

Maybe it would be so damn annoying if all of our days were sunny. Rainy and cloudy days are here to teach us some very valuable life lessons.
It sometimes looks like sunny days are over and that our whole world seems to be breaking down. But this is just an impression: the good days and moments are not very far away from us…all we have to do is to work on our attitude.
Of course, we don’t master each event that happens in our lives. Sometimes, we just hate what happened to us and feel so much helpless.
It would be so easy to fall into depression and to pity yourself! An easy solution, but are you sure you can assume the consequences of depression? Do you really want the whole world to pity you and be dependent on medication your whole life? Because this is probably what might happen if you don’t react on time! You might even end up in a psychiatric hospital. Is this really the way you envision your future?
Being a « brainless plant » that everybody pities?
Probably not.
Ok, life can be hard. Things that we don’t control at all might occur in our lives. We might be very hurt and our hearts might be bleeding. However there is one thing we can ALWAYS control: our attitude!
A change of attitude is the key to solving many mental pains. If you can’t change your negative thoughts right now (be sure you will have to think in a positive way further on if you really want things to change), then try to concentrate on things you really like. Put your heart and your soul into it. Intellectual or manual work can be very useful outlets for the inside pain we might be experiencing. The more you do what you like doing, the more you will improve your mental state of mind…
Now that you know you are capable of concentrating on things you like, make another positive move into the right direction and you will see that mental pains and rainy days will soon be over.
We have more power than we actually think. Use your positive attitude to change your world. I can do it. You can do it. Any person of good will can do it.

Sharp keyboards sounds welcome you on Detroit City Slickaz my space account…Mix up the darkest influences: a little bit of Biggie and Pac, an ounce of Big Herk, Eminem and Tech9. Combine them with a little Beastie Boys, Cassidy and the Game flavor and you might obtain something that is Detroit City alike.
If you like it gangsta and familiar with sharps and hostile words, Detroit City Slickaz will make you feel the darkness and the hustling spirit of the Detroit hood.
The Detroit group is composed of Icee Boy, D-Ea$y, Donnie Rage, Sunny Westclock and Young Banga.
What are many underground emcees greatest needs? Success and money. Listen to Money Mission and let them hustlers show you how they « sell product », so everybody can get rich. This sentence might shock some people who are not that familiar with hip hop culture, but you gotta be aware that many labels, like Eazy E’s Ruthless Records label were created thanks to the money hustlers get from peddling drugs.
Life in the hood is a matter of survival and those who wanna make it try by any means.
Detroit Niggaz, a Runyon Ave theme song written by 7 Milers starts on a very dark and slow instrumental background. It is followed by the groups very rhythmic and nice flow. Let them Detroit soldiers represent their city with pride and take over.
Among the songs exposed on their my space account, I particularly recommend you Money Mission and Detroit Niggaz.
Check them 7 Mile inhabitants, discover and enjoy the music on their my space account.

I wanna put several things clear:
– this site might be about Eminem BUT it is also about Detroit rap and hip hop in general.
As an Eminem biographer, I have written a lot about Marshall Mathers and his family. Not with nosey and bad intentions, but in order to enlighten his role as a regular person, a family father etc…
-I am in no way a fucking tabloid. Posting Eminem’s wedding pics are not my priority. Music is my MAIN PRIORITY for this site. I enjoy sharing Eminem pics I have with people, but if you start harassing me for those wedding pics, I won’t post any Eminem nor other family member picture on this site!
– ask yourselves: if the pics of the ceremony are not posted on the net, it might mean that Em and Kim wanted to keep them PRIVATE; damn, when will you start respect the man’s privacy? it is his marriage, not yours, his life, not yours! Leave him the fuck alone for one minute instead of pissing me off with your silly Hailie Whitney Alaina pics from the ceremony demands.
– all the info I have posted about Em could be found on the net…but i will never try to post something that he probably doesn’t want to be posted by any means!
The Eminem Blog is mostly about rap music and hip hop culture, this is NOT a celebrity gossips magazine, get it?
I had to get this out of my chest because some of you are really getting on my nerves!!!

Detroit City Slickaz…proudly representing 7 Mile…stay tuned:)

One of my contacts from Detroit told me that he flipped the bird at a nosey journalist asking if he had any comment for him LMAO

« And if that mockingbird don’t sing and that ring don’t shine
I’mma break that birdies neck
I’d go back to the jeweler who sold it to ya
And make him eat every carat don’t fuck with dad (haha) »
Eminem, Mockingbird
First of all, congratulations to Marshall and Kim! I wish them both best luck from the bottom of my heart.
Eminem’s publicist from Interscope Records, Dennis Dennehy, confirmed it: since yesterday, 5 pm, Em and his ex wife Kim are now married- for the second time.
Many people wondered why Eminem decided to remarry Kim after he dissed her on his records. I’d strongly advice people who keep asking this question to read my Kim Mathers archive, which will certainly help them to understand the context in which Eminem’s songs were written and the background for the couple’s rocky relationship.
Marshall and Kim’s story goes back to their teenage years. Debbie Mathers took Kim- who was running away from an alcoholics’ home with her twin sister Dawn- into her house and raised her as her own daughter.
Marshall and Kim first fought against each other as foster brother and sister, but when Marshall was around 16, it turned into love and Marshall started dating Kim.
Marshall’s relationship with Kim has always been a complicated mixture of love and hate, a relationship during which both kept hurting each other.
I have always had this impression that one could describe Marshall and Kim as the couple who could not live with each other, but who could not leave without each other either. It has always been passionate and left deep wounded hearts on both sides.
On the one hand, Marshall’s relationship with Kim has always been stormy.
When Hailie was born, Kim often used her daughter as a weapon against Marshall to obtain what she wanted.
The couple has alternated periods where the relationship was off and on.
Sometimes suffering hardly from the separation from Hailie and also longing for Kim, Marshall used his evil Slim Shady persona to diss Kim.
Many Eminem fans have misinterpreted Marshall’s intentions that were revealed to the public in his Angry Blonde book as desperate SOS calls to get Kim back.
Also, Marshall had real difficulties coping with the Hot Rocks Café incident. He felt humiliated when he discovered that Kim had kissed John Guerra in the parking lot.
I was quite difficult for him either to know that Kim got pregnant from another man, just six months after the couple’s divorce in 2001.
On the other hand, Kim had to deal with Marshall’s fame and the huge inconvenient of it. All of a sudden, Kim saw intimate details of her life displayed in the media. Many people might not be conscious of it, but it is rather humiliating for a wife to see your husband beat up a « Kim doll » on stage-even for fun.
Kim was exasperated with the media’s exposure and it was quite a heavy burden for her to share her husband with the whole world.
All those mental pressures probably combined with the couple’s numerous arguments, lead Kim to suicide. In July 2000, Kim tried to slit her wrists in presence of her mom (who called 911) and of Eminem’s younger brother Nathan.
Problems of cocaine addiction and other private problems didn’t simplify Kim’s every day life.
The couple was eventually divorced in 2001.
Marshall felt devastated at this time of his life and his statements about a further marriage were quite clear in 2002: Marshall didn’t want to get married again.
Marshall and Kim seemed to had parted their ways when Kim was into her relationship with Eric Harrter in 2001, the father of her second child Whitney who was born in May 2002, and Marshall was into a long term relationship with 8 Mile star Brittany Murphy and had a several months affair with Mariah Carey.
However, people were really surprised after scandal author JR Watkins revealed that she had written a book revealing some dirty details about Marshall, Kim and their whole family, spoiling his 31st birthday.
Just a while after Eminem, Kim and Kim’s scandalous cousin had spoken out on Mojo in the morning, Eminem and Kim went back together.
Eminem was even ready to take care of Kim’s second child Whitney and had to face some legal battles against Mary Hartter, Eric Hartter’s mom who battled for Whitney’s custody.
In 2003, Eminem expressed the wish to remarry Kim. Unfortunately, while Eminem was touring in Europe in June 2003, Kim was arrested for cocaine possession and dark clouds were hanging over the couple’s wish to remarry. Back in Detroit, Marshall who was very angry against Kim, asked the Court for Hailie’s full custody.
The months that would follow would be living hell on earth for Marshall. Kim did not appear at Court’s arraignments and went AWOL several times. She also failed in her promise to pursue a rehabilitation program and suddenly disappeared, leaving Marshall alone with three little girls: Hailie, Alaina and Whitney.
Whitney was probably too young to realize what was happening in her life, but Hailie and Alaina (who had been adopted legally by the couple several years ago) probably went through a real drama, not knowing why they didn’t get any news from Kim.
A magazine had published a pic of Marshall looking lost, tears rolling on his checks. This picture probably gave an idea of what Marshall was going through to the readers.
When Kim was found by the police, she would be sentenced to jail and she had to pursue a rehab program for several months.
Back home, Kim reconciled with Marshall. Marshall had to face his own addiction demons in 2005 and disappointed fans all over Europe saw the cancellation of the European Anger Management Tour in August 2005.
Last December, Eminem announced his plans to remarry Kim on Mojo In The Morning.
Some nosey tabloids added to the superstar’s stress and Em has been very discrete about the place of his wedding that occurred yesterday at Meadow Brook Hall, Michigan.
Some of you said: « he first said « ‘Bleed bitch’ and now he ties the knot for the second time? »
To those of you who share that point of view, you should definitely make a difference between Eminem as an artist and as a person.
You all know Eminem, but you have a distorted image of Marshall Mathers as a person. He is very much family oriented and his intentions to give his couple a second chance honor him.
I have been reproached many times to have some insights about Eminem’s life. As a biographer of his, I find his life very much interesting and the numerous details about Marshall’s life help the listener to understand his music better, because of the numerous autobiographical details it contains.
My role as a writer for my different places is also to help my readers to make a real difference between Eminem’s personas and Marshall as a regular family father and husband.
Feel free to comment on this article. However, as a fair warning groupie alike comments such as: « Eminem can do better than Kim, Kim is a slut, he’s mine » will be automatically deleted. I won’t tolerate anything demeaning towards the Mathers family to whom I wish all the best for the future.

In vivid contrast to all the fanfare of recent weeks, all the breathless chatter and speculation, the Saturday wedding of Eminem and his longtime sweetheart turned out to be a quietly dignified occasion.
One guest at the late-afternoon ceremony at Rochester Hills’ Meadow Brook Hall said Marshall Mathers and his bride, ex-wife Kimberly Mathers, appeared genuinely radiant and happy at what another attendee called “a real classy, intimate affair.”
Both guests spoke who spoke to the Free Press asked not to be named because of sensitivity to the privacy of the event.
One described the ceremony as “a surprisingly mellow but very touching” event, as the bride and groom exchanged vows and rings before about 85 guests in the lower area of the popular wedding venue’s main hall. Eminem’s processional up the aisle was accompanied by the tranquil piano line of his song “Mockingbird,” performed by Luis Resto, the Detroit instrumentalist who has cowritten several of the rapper’s biggest hits.
The bride wore a traditional, tasteful white gown, said an observer, while Eminem —spotted earlier in the afternoon with a red baseball cap when he arrived by limousine — was dressed in a crisp black suit.
Saturday’s affair was the second wedding for the Mathers, whose sometimes rocky relationship has been famously chronicled and dramatized by Eminem on his platinum-selling albums. Their romance began 17 years ago, when they were teenagers, and the couple had a daughter, Hailie Jade, in 1995. Four years later, they married in a then-secret ceremony, but divorced in 2001 amid ongoing legal problems for both.
Saturday’s guests enjoyed a dinner of steak and lobster in an adjacent banquet room, where a family-oriented reception stretched into late Saturday night. Eminem’s best man, Detroit rapper Proof, gave a brief, amiable speech in which he noted the couple’s apparent happiness and offered well-wishes.
The nearby dance floor was occupied mostly by children, including 10-year-old Hailie, as a DJ spun contemporary rap and top 40 hits.
The guest list was comprised mostly of family members, though several key figures were either not invited or chose not to attend, including Marshall Mathers’ mother, his maternal grandmother, and Kimberly Mathers’ twin sister, Dawn Scott.
The scant few celebrities in attendance were all from Eminem’s hip-hop circle, including rapper 50 Cent and members of Detroit group D12, whose over-the-top stage personas were muted for the night, said one guest.
“The sensibility was appropriate for the night,” said the guest. “In a lot of ways, it felt like an utterly ordinary wedding,”
The modest atmosphere was a refreshing change of pace from the frenzy of press attention and family drama that had accompanied the lead-up to the wedding, said a source. Saturday afternoon, along an entry road to Meadow Brook Hall on the Oakland University campus, news helicopters buzzed overhead, and dozens of reporters, photographers and fans were kept in check by police and private guards as guests’ vehicles drove through.
Once inside the hall’s doors, the source said, the security presence was unobtrusive.
“I think much of the reception staff seemed surprised at how unassuming it all was,” the guest said.
For Marshall and Kim Mathers, Saturday’s wedding capped a reconciliation that began about a year ago. As the Free Press reported in July, Kim Mathers moved in to the rapper’s 15,000-square-foot mansion, a $4.8-million Oakland Township home he purchased after their divorce. There, the couple have been tending to their daughter Hailie and 3-year-old Whitney, Kim Mathers’ daughter from a former relationship, whom Eminem has legally adopted.
The remarriage is also the latest step by Eminem in an ongoing series of moves to focus on his family and personal affairs while backing away from the breakneck pace of life as a pop star.
“It was one of the most peaceful weddings I’ve ever been to,” said one of the guests. “This is exactly what Marshall has been looking for.”

Many thanks to Adrienne, a fellow fan, for this wedding pic:

Cast T.R.O.Y started rhyming in 1994, but emceeing became a real passion for him in 1997:
« I started writing in 1994, but didn’t take it seriously until 1997. Every since, the kid been on his grind. I started sticking my hand in the production racket, picking up little techniques on the low. »
The solo artist has exposed some of his tracks on his my space account.
The little excerpts of his music he exposed on his account made me hungry for more, because Cast T.R.O.Y has some obvious qualities as an emcee.
First of all, he can flow and I really enjoyed his three song snippets.
Rocking It has a little bit of soul and R’n’B flavor combined with Cast Troy’s dark voice and good lyrical ability.
Deep Cutz is a beautiful example of what Cast T.R.O.Y can do: lyrically, this song is worth your interest. It also combines a soft melody and rougher elements from an emcee who spits with confidence. Enjoy his wordplays and let the music guide you into his world.
Also, I advice you to check Bangerz, a gangsta track aimed at fake thugs.
Hopefully, I will be able to hear more from this artist in a near future. In the meantime, check out Cast T.R.O.Y
