"[37]Subjects covered inInfiniteincluded his problems in raising his newborn daughter, Hailie Jade Mathers, in a decent way while he had little money.[38]Early in his career, Eminem formed a hip hopduowith another Detroit rapper,Royce da 5'9 ",calledBad Meets Evil.[39]After the release of Infinite, Eminem's personal problems andabuse of drugsandalcoholwere too much and he attempted suicide.[40]

2004–2005:Encore

[change|change source]

On December 8, 2003, TheMedia Research Centersaid that theUnited States Secret Serviceadmitted that it was "keeping an eye on Eminem" for his allegations and threats with thePresident of the United States.[66]The lyrics in question are:

"Fuck money, I don't rap for dead presidents. I'd rather see the president dead. It's never been said, but I set precedents."

The song, "We as Americans" ended up on abonusCDaccompanying theEncorealbum.[67]Encorewas released in 2004 and became another chart-topping leader, driven by the single "Just Lose It",whichdisrespectspop singerMichael Jackson.On October 12 of the same year, a week after the release of "Just Lose It", Jackson was invited to a radio show inLos Angeleswhere he expressed his displeasure with the music video because itparodiesthe trial forchild abuse,plastic surgeries,and the incident in which Michael's hair caught fire during the filming of aPepsicommercial in 1984.[source?]Many of Jackson's supporters and friends commented on the video, includingStevie Wonder,who said that the video "is like kicking someone who is already on the ground" and "is idiocy".[source?]Steve Harveyalso stated, "Eminem has lost hisghettopass. We want the pass back ". He also said he was not pleased with the way he chose to show theblack community.[68]The music video also makes fun ofPee-Wee Herman,MC HammerandMadonna.[69]

In contrast, the comedian"Weird Al" Yankovicmade a protest to Eminem in the song "Couch Potato", in which he parodies the international success of "Lose Yourself" of the movie8 Mile.Yankovic said: "Last year, Eminem forced me to stop the production of the parody video of" Lose Yourself "because he thought it would be detrimental to his image and his career. So the irony of the situation with Michael is not lost to me."[70]Black Entertainment Televisionwas the first channel to ask to stop displaying the video. However,MTVannounced that it would continue to display "Just Lose It." President Raymond "Benzino" Scott of theSourcemagazine, wanted not only the video to be removed, but also the song from the album, and a public apology from Eminem to Jackson, which did not occur.[71]In 2007, Jackson andSonyboughtFamous Music LLCfromViacom.The acquisition thus gave them rights to the songs fromShakira,Beckand Eminem among others.[72]

Despite the comic issue of the first single,Encorehad along with him serious subject tracks, such as the song "Mosh". On October 25, 2004, a week before theUnited States presidential election,Eminem released the music video for "Mosh" on the internet.[73]The song highlights a strong anti-Bushmessage, with parts like "Fuck Bush" and "Thisweapon of mass destructionthat we call the president. "[74]The video shows Eminem gathering an army of people, including rapperLloyd Banks,presented as victims of the Bush administration and taken to theWhite House.However, at the moment the weapons break, it is revealed that people are there only tovote,and it ends with the words "Vote Tuesday November 2!" on the screen. After Bush was re-elected, Eminem modified the video, with demonstrators invading while the president was giving alecture.[75]In 2004 he also launched asatellite music channel,Shade 45,onSirius XMradio, which was described by his manager as "essentially a destination to get and hear things that other people aren't playing."[76]

In September 2007, Eminem spoke with50 Centat theHot 97radio station inNew York Cityabout his rumored retirement. He said, "I'm always working. I'm always in the studio. It feels good right now, the energy of the label. For a while, I didn't want to go back to the studio... I went through some personal things. Now I'm coming out of those personal things and it feels good."[86][87]

Eminem made his first appearance in a year in September 2008 at his radio station, theShade 45,where he said: "I'm concentrating on my own stuff right now—just bangin' out tracks.

The music on Recovery came out very different from Relapse, and I think it deserves its own title."[94]

Recoverywas released on June 18, 2010. It sold 741,000 copies during its first week in the US, topping theBillboard200chart. The album was also at the top of the charts in several other countries.Recoveryremained atop theBillboard200 chart for five weeks.
