Detroit Rapper Eminem aka Marshall Mathers or Slim Shady  broke onto the hip-hop scene with witty rhymes that didn’t fail to make fun of Pop stars or Politicians.  His lyrical wit and emotional lyrics about his difficult life led to his rise as one of the few non-minority hip hop stars in the rap game.  Some of his past hits include, “The Real Slim Shady, Without Me, Lose Yourself, Forgot About Dre, and Business.”

Well, he’s back again to show the world that he’s not dead. Nope. He’s just been in Detroit, producing for other artists and working on his forthcoming 6th Studio album, “Relapse.” Today, he released the music video for “We Made You,” which goes back to his love of spoofing the Tabloid stars of the day including Bret Michaels of “Rock of Love,” Kim Kardashian, Jessica Simpson, Amy Winehouse and Republican VP Nominee, Sarah Palin.

Reaction has been mixed as his die-hard fans love anything that he releases while others long for the more introspective Eminem from “The Marshall Mathers LP.“  Yeah, this track is no “Stan,” with a sad melody and Dido singing in the background, but its one of those songs that you like to blast on the freeway by yourself because you secretly like it.  I mean, in front of everyone else, you’ll be a hip-hop purist and talk about the Roots, Talib Kweli, and all those rap groups from the 90’s.  But you know, you’ll still blast this song with the system down and volume way up.

Heres the video:
