Like his pal Dr. Dre, Eminem is in the midst of a musical dry spell, but he still gets hefty royalties from his ample body of work as a rapper and actor. His 1999 debut album, The Slim Shady LP, has been certified five-times platinum; his follow-up, The Marshall Mathers LP, sold 1.8 million copies in its opening week. Eminem is said to be working on a new album and is slated to star in Paramount Pictures’ Have Gun, Will Travel, a Western remake.

Just read it.
Did not like it.
But it made sense.
I’m on the fence, you see…I’ve already sworn my allegiance to DOOM…much like I did Wu-Tang some 10 years ago when I sent off for my membership (c) Wu Tang Forever promo. So just like them, when I see things starting to get wack, I’m still blindly patriotic (see: Bush supporters in 2008) towards his cause.
