Yeah I love this song! Have you seen the video? It's great, really simple but with a powerful ending. It's doing really well at the moment in the UK. I can't wait for Recovery, I think it'll put Em back on top, reminiscent of the Marshall Mathers LP/Eminem Show days. And with Pink and Rihanna collabs, this should be one of the albums of the year.

Recovery sounds promising so far though, way better than Relapse is for sure

So tempted to download it...I have already preodered the CD but I don't think I can wait that long.

I've heard songs off the new one and I'm gonna be honest, its not that good. Its another Shady record if you're into all his other new[er] albums you will probably like it, but I personally don't understand the hype.

I like Eminem, but I've never actually bought a whole album - which would you recommend? Although I will probably end up buying all of them...

I suggest starting at the beginning of his discography and work your way up to the new stuff, if you insist on owning all of it. Its entirely up to you if you buy them all, I personally don't have any desire to own a lot of his stuff, but if you want it all go ahead and start with the first album and work to the newest.

It really depends on what you're after from him. His early stuff contained a lot of shock lyrics that jumped between offensive and hilarious. His 2000 release The Marshall Mathers LP was a good album for balancing out his more serious stuff with the funny stuff. I honestly hold his 2002 follow up The Eminem Show as his finest piece of work, both from a production and content viewpoint. I found that his most heartfelt lyrics were present on that album and it was his most "mature". Most people will disagree with me, but I think The Eminem Show is the best place to start for beginners, especially if they're not really into the shock value present on his earlier (and unfortunately) later albums.
