Eminem is one of my favorite performers of all time, and his “The Marshall Mathers LP” is one of the best ever recorded. His latest album (Relapse) is following the same formula Interscope Records and Dr. Dre have for every Eminem album: Put out a pop-culture-layden single and let the media sell albums for you. This album’s pop single is “We Made You,” which takes on Kim Kardashian (says she’s a man, which might make Reggie Bush anxious), Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson, and Ellen Degeneres (asking Portia what Ellen has that he doesn’t have), among many others.
Sorry Em, but this song’s a snoozer. The video’s funky and has a ton of stuff in it, but if you’re expecting this to launch you back to the top, good luck with that. You can’t dance to it. You wouldn’t lift weights to it. The beats change at odd times. My guess is the song and the video won’t do much; And given the now-fleeting nature of news (this isn’t 2001, Em), even with all the mocking of pop-culture and political figures, you’ll hear about it a couple times this week and then it’ll sink to the internal pages of blogs.

As homophobic as M&M might be his is an incredible rapper. I tried to watch the video earlier today and was just bored by the images and song.
Honestly, shows like The Soup and Best Week Ever and plenty of clips on Funny Or Die.com have already mined this territory for all it’s worth. This video feels dated and lame in comparison.

Isn’t Tony Romo a chain of ribs joints in south Florida? Y’know, with early bird specials & shit?

so quick to judge… i am a huge eminem fan, and this song reminds me why. everyone who thinks this song isnt going to be number one is crazy. after listening to it 4 times i was hooked. not to mention the video is more hilarious each time you watch it! i love what eminem is doing and i am so excited for his cd.

This song is awful. He should stop with the TMZ vaudeville acts and start talking about things that actually matter. Then again, that’s when he gets into faggot this and faggot that. Maybe we’d all be better off if he just counted his money.

I think Eminem looks good with the long blonde Brett Michaels wig

The thing that offends my most about Eminem is that you just know he thinks he is so clever and funny and better than all the idiots he’s spoofing, But in reality he’s probably equal to or worse than all of them.

I am kind of a fan too. Lose Yourself and I’m Sorry Mama are my two favorite songs of his. But this latest crap from Mr. Mathers sucks.

Why would any self-respecting gay man or lesbian be an Eminem fan??? He’s no friend of our community, to say the least.
I’ll admit that he has a talent for rap, but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s still lower than pond scum.
