Eminem is back. Tabloid editors across the planet hold the frontpage, in anticipation of more Mathers’ related chaos. Really, it has been too long.
One of the best selling and most controversial performers on the planet, Eminem suffered from a deep depression after the death of his close friend Proof. A fellow member of D12, the lose of his friend his Eminem deeply, leading to the hip hop icon suffering from writer’s block.
