"Back by popular demand/ Now pop a little Zantac/ Or antacid if you can/ You're ready to tackle any task that is at hand/ How does it feel? Is it fantastic, is it grand?"
Eminem, the master of word-play innuendos and pop-culture roasting has returned with "We Made You," the first video/single from his upcoming Relapse album.
In standard Mathers form, he takes aim at the celebrity sideshows of the day wiith vitriolic wit. Sure, maybe nobody’s talking about Sarah Palin anymore, but bearing in mind that the guy’s been off the scene for five years, we should probably be thankful he’s not rhyming about Rumsfeld and Anna Nicole Smith.
Instead, the bleach-topped Dre disciple speaks what’s on all our minds by calling Lohan out on her taste in women ("Lindsay- please come back to seeing men / Samantha’s a two / you’re practically a ten"), and rocking some Vulcan death grip action on a fellow Trekkie before his space ship turns into a giant Transformer. He also pulls off a scary-good Bret Michaels impression and plays Romo to a piggish, daisy-duke’d Jessica Simpson impersonator.
And yes, that’s the same Sarah Palin actress who played her in the Nailin’ Palin porn flick (Lisa Ann).
Say what you will about Em using the same old schtick that put him on the map in the first place- pop mocking is what he does best, and "We Made You" is much more listenable than any of that "Crack A Bottle" bullshit. After hearing that little ditty, I was ready to never see or hear Mr. Mathers ever again, but this one’s worth a listen- despite the useless obligatory appearance by 50 “Where’s the Beef?” Cent.
