Song of the Week

"Til I Collapse" - Eminem
You are almost guaranteed to hear this song as walk-in music for at least one fighter on every MMA card.
And it makes me reflect on the career of Eminem (which seems pretty much over now).
And I always come back to the same conclusion, the guy had tremoundous potential to be the realest MC with the strongest lyrics but he chose to sell out and go pop.
But you can tell the guy had deep thoughts and when he let his deepest thoughts come out in his music that's when he was at his best.
"Music is like magic
there’s a certain feeling you get
when your real and you spit
and people are feeling your shit.
This is your moment
and every single minute you spend
trying to hold onto it
cause you may never get it again."



Note: there is no official video for this song

I don't think you're up to date if you think his career is pretty much over. He's got a new single that was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and it sold 418 downloads in its first week.

Dude, one song in 5 years. He's completely irrelevant in pop culture.
I stand by my remarks.

Ton is on point as usual. New joint is good, not great. Paul's right cuz Em has gone to more commerical (not "pop") music - 50 does the same thing - and away from dark stuff like Kill You and Guilty Conscience that made him a great lyricist and hip hop artics. He's still a great lyricist.
