Battling is and will certainly remain one of Eminem’s biggest passions. You can feel a certain nostalgy in his words when he recalls Rap Olympics in 1997:

Michael Jackson diss
Just a short note before MiJack fans get mad at me: I do respect your idol’s artistry. I just can’t stand his attitude towards Eminem.
The new Ireland
Ireland may be the nicest place to live in the world according to recent reports – but since May 1st a veritable deluge of people have arrived from Eastern Europe. Polish registered cars now seem to be the most common non-Irish car on the roads. The numbers coming to Ireland seem to mainly come from Poland – with Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia following behind.
And they come to work – and the Irish economy seems to be handling it all quite well. I have already started learning some Polish and Russian. It might come in handy.
Here is a photo of how much Ireland has changed since May 1st – and I think changing for the better.
Baltimore, West Cork
Baltimore is the town in West Cork – at the very south west tip of Ireland. If you keep going from here you end up in Canada. It has become very popular for building holiday homes as this photo shows.
The weather isn’t great in the winter either.
Eminem doesn't like superficial women
The press has spilled a lot of ink about Eminem’s so called ‘ misogyny ‘. A further examination of his life and statements will make people understand that those allegations are totally unjustified. Like many other rappers, Marshall Mathers may have talked about ‘ bitches and hoes ‘ that should be ‘ raped ‘ and ‘ murdered ‘ in his lyrics. Matter of fact: Marshall is different in real life.

Infinite album review
Infinite is Eminem’s first album and also his introduction to the world. Marshall Mathers had placed a lot of hope in the release of his debut album, that, unfortunately sold only 1000 copies.
Ukraine on brink of 'civil war'
The very dangerous words have finally been said – the Ukraine could be on the brink of very serious civil strife. The situation seems set to escalate, as the US refuses to recognise the result as legitimate. Now both parties have upped the ante :
Calling for a general strike, Mr Yushchenko told a vast crowd of supporters in the central Independence Square that Ukraine was on the brink of a “civil conflict”.
Mr Kuchma, who backs Mr Yanukovych, denounced the opposition protests and warned civil war “could well become a reality at the present time”.
If war does break out, how would it affect already strained Russo-European relations? In my humble opinion the election was indeed rigged, and Putin is backing the man who wants Ukraine to move further east rather than further West. If Putin can engineer this kind of behaviour, I have no doubt he is intimately involved, then how will approach continuing tensions in the Ossetia/Abkhazia disputes?
Any civil conflict in this region will have huge implications, and could well draw in a number of other countries. Reports and rumours also suggest that Russian Special Forces, the famed Alpha, who took Kabul in under 2 hours during the Soviet invasion in December 1979, are now in the Ukraine – dressed as Ukrainian soldiers.
Ukraine has 50 million people – a significant number. More CIA facts are here.
Comments again
Apologies to those who recently commented – an issue with blacklist meant I had to purge some comments.
Devil's Night album review
Devil’s Night is one of the most provocative rap albums. No wonder it has raised a lot of controversy.
