Eminem Still Getting High?  

The name of his newest album is Relapse and if new rumors are true it looks like art may be imitating life. Eminem went through a public battle with prescription pain pills these past couple of years even going in and out of rehab more than three times. However he has maintained in recent interviews that he is now clean and sober, despite the fact that the ads for his new album feature a table overflowing with pills spilling from a prescription bottle.

Now though it is coming out that even though it has just started it looks like the promo run for the release of the album is already proving to be too much for Em and he is falling back into his old ways. Word is Em has been taking pills, “moderately” was the only word I could get out of the source but that it has been increasing steadily. Word is no one is saying anything to Em since his manager, Paul Rosenberg, is not around as he is handling business back in Detroit. Normally Paul would be the one to step in but since he is not around Em is seemingly headed for a free fall.

I know one thing is for sure, ‘moderately’ or not, with an addict if they start up the engine again, they will eventually crash. Let’s wish Marshall the best with this one and hope that he can get a grip.

Snoop Dogg Goes Reggae?

Reinventing yourself is the only way to stay on top in this game. You have to try new things and  show different sides of yourself or else the people will get bored. It seems like no one understands this better than West Coast repper Snoop Dogg. He has never been afraid to try new sounds and styles and usually the people eat it up. I mean think about it, what other artist can go from “Murder Was The Case” to “Sensual Seduction” and nobody even blink an eye?

And just when you thought we had seen it all from the man, word is coming from the Dogg’s house that he is about to flip the game again. Fresh off his country debut I am now hearing that Snoop is about to release an all reggae album! Apparently Snoop has been laying down several tracks with members of the Marley family in his home studio in L.A. and is really intent on releasing an all reggae album. So far I hear his record label is not with it at all but Snoop doesn’t give a damn and continues to make new tracks.

I must admit this isn’t too surprising to me. I mean if I had to guess any genre that Snoop would venture into, Reggae would be at the top of the list. The country thing was a stretch but hey, can’t knock a man for trying I guess right. I wonder if he’s gonna dread the perm up now?
