Slim Shady is back in a brand new video called "We Made You," which premiered this morning. The video begins with an overweight Jessica Simpson circa Dukes of Hazzard trying to be sexy while her gut rolls ripple away. Eminem also tells Lindsay Lohan to dump Samantha Ronson and go back to men. The chorus is awful and the video also features a lingerie wearing Sarah Palin, a fug Amy Wino and a guitar playing John Player and Jennifer Maniston. Clever.
Eminem has pulled out a new list of targets from his old bag of tricks and it's obvious that he has not evolved as an artist at all. This routine is tired. His music videos are more like SNL skits than anything else, but he does make one hawt Bret Michaels, therefore, all is forgiven.

Agreed, he could work it more but almost seems complacent.

I missed Eminem. He's fun! Glad he's back. ;)

Oye. This guy has to sell out and make fun of celebrities just to get himself back in the limelight. What a looser.

Oh forgot to say. I like the song though.

Having not viewed the video (since it was apparently disabled for playback), Eminem and Co. did a masterful of parodying other celebs who have made headlines or gained notoriety for some impropriety in his last song/video. His Weird Al-like act of musicanship in that aspect has grown increasingly tiresome, though.
While "We Made You" will probably enjoy chart-topping success, he needs to make songs that have a deep, lasting emotional impact once again, ala "8 Mile." It brought Emimen accolades for his musical expression and the like, and I think that's where he excels as a musical artist.

Ok, he has the same rap routine picking on celebs but you know it worked back then and it works now, so get a life. IF he is still good enough to roll with 50 and Dre and Obie then i think he is doing something right. Beast song, love the album.
