And though he remains a neurotic - a guy lost in the labyrinths of his own psyche - on the new album, he goes a little deeper, laying bare not just childhood traumas but professional jealousies: “I almost made a song dissin’ Lil Wayne/It’s like I was jealous of him ’cause of the attention he was gettin’/I felt horrible about myself,” he confides in “Talkin’ 2 Myself.” Eminem’s records have generally been estrogen-free zones, but on Recovery, he joins forces with Pink (“Won’t Back Down”) and Rihanna (“Love the Way You Lie”).

(“Take a look at Mariah next time I inspire you to write a song,” he raps in the album opener, “Cold Wind Blows.”) He turns to Script Shepherd for the album’s most festive beat (“Cinderella Man”), but the production follows the template of every album since Encore (2004), leaning toward dirgelike beats full of minor keys and dashes of post-grunge rock. He still wallows in his doomed love for his ex-wife and muse, Kim he’s still bent on settling scores with rival celebs. He hasn’t entirely abandoned his old tics.

On his seventh album, Recovery, Eminem admits he’s been in a slump: “I just wanna thank everybody for bein’ so patient, bearin’ with me over these last couple of years while I figure this shit out.” He wasn’t just music’s biggest star, he was a cultural obsession - the bane of Middle American parents and an equal-opportunity offender across the political spectrum, whose every new song seemed to raise pressing questions about art, morality, race, class and celebrity.īut over the past five years, Eminem has seemed peripheral, releasing half-baked records full of pallid provocation and drug-addiction confessions. For a few years - from the release of his major-label debut, The Slim Shady LP (1999), through the big-screen triumph of 8 Mile (2002) - Em’s stranglehold on the zeitgeist was complete.
