Mo’ money, mo’ problems, and mo’ popularity, mo’ scrutiny. Given that he has two consecutive diamond-selling albums, Eminem knows this better than anyone. First people complained that he took his shock antics too far on The Marshall Mathers LP.Then they whined when he abandoned them for a more serious tone The Eminem Show. Now he has largely gone back to his Slim Shady ways – which people have been asking for – and they are complaining that isn’t serious enough. You win some, you lose some continue...

Half a year ago, Eminem took to the airwaves to complain that he was jealous of his own success.
