Eminem leaves off his third set of visuals for "The Death of Slim Shady". Eminem is now just over a month removed from his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady. Overall, the record has received lukewarm reviews from critics, although his Stans seem to be enjoying it. Since its July 12 release and debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 200, it has slowly tapered off. It's now sitting at number 16, and only one track is on the Hot 100. That is the lead single "Houdini", and it is also beginning to fall down the ranks with it being at 24 as opposed to 20 last week. Regardless, though, Eminem achieving quite a bit of success at this stage of his career is highly impressive. Furthermore, there are still some other tracks to pull from it, including "Somebody Save Me", the collaborative closer between Eminem and Jelly Roll.

Rappers often charge extortionate prices for verses, and sometimes, it is simply unaffordable. Some MCs are so inaccessible that they don’t even charge but simply offer free verses to people they have a long and meaningful relationship with. However, during his prime Jay-Z was happy to appear on anyone’s song as long as the money was right. Unfortunately, one rapper who asked for a feature found Jay’s fee outrageous.

When I learned the brown tarantula is also native to Missouri, I gasped, and when I say I'm not too fond of spiders of any genus is an understatement. It's psychological. They have too many legs.
