Before tonight’s episode of The Jersey Shore, MTV premiered the music video for Eminem’s chart-topping single “Love the Way You Lie.” Not only does it include Eminem spitting his game and Rihanna belting out the catchy hook, but Charlie from Lost and the hot chick from Transformers lend their acting chops to the powerful lyrics. Domestic violence is the theme, something that Eminem and Rihanna have experienced in their own personal lives. Dominic Monaghan and Megan Fox make for an attractive couple in an over-the-top love/hate relationship. One second punches are thrown and in the next lips and tongues are interlocking. It all plays out very theatrically and I commend the effort put into it. Check out the music video above and share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Eminem is back with a “refill”
Before Relapse 2 is released later next year, Eminem is sharing with us seven new tracks in a re-release of this year’s comeback album Relapse. Two of the seven new songs include iTunes singles “Hell Breaks Loose” (featuring Dr Dre) and Elevator. “Forever,” the slick single that also features Drake, Kanye West, and Lil Wayne, is also on the album. Eminem kills it on that track; his verse alone makes the song a great single. Look after the break for a full track listing.
Eminem on Refill: “I want to deliver more material for the fans this year like I originally planned. Hopefully these tracks on The Refill will tide the fans over until we put out Relapse 2 next year.” Em also comments on his time in the studio: “I got back in with Dre and then a few more producers, including Just Blaze, and went in a completely different direction which made me start from scratch. The new tracks started to sound very different than the tracks I originally intended to be on Relapse 2, but I still want the other stuff to be heard.”
Relapse: Refill officially drops today but will made available for download on iTunes this Tuesday.

Eminem goes to rehab, brings us Relapse
Slim Shady is back. It has been four years since Eminem’s last studio album, Encore. Where has he been, you ask? Back in the summer of 2005, Eminem was forced to cancel the European part of his “Anger Management Tour” due to an addiction to sleeping pills. Later, he re-married and then re-divorced his ex-wife Kimberly Scott andhe lost one of his close friends and fellow rapper DeShawn Holton (who was shot). Due to all of this pain in his life, he “relapsed” and became addicted to many kinds of prescription drugs. This was a very dark period in his life. In 2007, he was hospitalized due to an overdose. After taking a 12-step program to rid his addictions, it has been reported that he has been sober since April 2008. And this is where the history lesson ends. Look after the break (click “more…”) for the full review. Continue reading Eminem goes to rehab, brings us Relapse
