Great to have you here.

Thank you for joining us.

Happy to be here.

Okay, now, should I call you Eminem or Marshall or Slim?

What do you like to be called?

Eminem Slim Marshall.

Look in my mind.

You can call me.

Wow.

We got the voice as well.

Hey, now, where have you been?

What have you been doing?

It's been, what, has it been four years, five years since the last album, and now you've got the new one, Relapse, coming out, but it's been a long period.

This was a deliberate step away from things, I guess.

Yeah, I just wanted to pull back from the spotlight I wanted to pull back from the spotlight for a little while, you know, just I guess kind of reassess my whole career, you know what I mean?

I ended up in rehab in 2005 and, you know, just kind of wanted to, like I was trying to figure out where I was going, you know what I mean?

Like where I was going in my personal life and career-wise and everything, like where I was, what I was going to do.

So I kind of wanted to, I knew that I still wanted to, I knew I wanted to take a break from the spotlight, but at the same time I still wanted to do music, you know, because I'd go crazy if I didn't do music.

I guess you were still creating music, writing music in that period, even if you were releasing it.

Yeah, I was writing music too, but I don't know, I kind of took the producer's role even more so, and, you know, stepped away from the mic, even though...

I mean, I was still writing, I was still making songs, but I wasn't making anything that I felt like was good enough to put out at that time.

And then what happened?

It just clicked again?

Or you just thought the time was right?

Well, I got sober, first of all, you know what I mean?

How tricky was that for you?

Was that a difficult journey?

Was that a tough thing to do?

Yeah, definitely.

It was pretty rough.

You know, there were a couple of years that were pretty bad for me.

But, you know, I'm a little over a year sober now, so I'm happy to...

Well, congratulations.

Happy to...

OK, I haven't got the new album yet.

It's not quite out yet.

I've been given a few tracks.

I've been enjoying them very much.

They're great fun.

The single's terrific.

But I love, you know, I'm a big admire of you.

I think you're just such a talented writer um.. uh.. what was the song needed about performing

that was in eight mile um.. lose yourself

that's got some of the best interests incredible captures the kind of the fear of performing

and the need to perform and the desire to perform i just thought

that was a remarkable piece of work if you weren't doing uh..

if you weren't writing rap would you be were you writing beforehand was it rap

that got you into writing in the first place or were you already expressing yourself in that way

nah um.. i mean i didn't i didn't actually like start writing it was definitely hip-hop you know i didn't um...

I didn't pick up a pen and realize

that I could write anything until you know rap got me into doing that You know I mean I heard

Ice-T reckless was one of the first songs I ever heard once I heard Run DMC LL Cool J.

I was like this is what I want

so this is the first wave of the big rappers This is really yeah that one day of see those good.

Did you like a Houdini and those guys as well?

Oh, yeah, the fat boys remember the fat boys.

Yeah, buddy.

Oh you could eat Good yeah We should team up, we should do something, maybe release something together.

That'd be hot.

Do you, let me ask something, and I'm sure people who rap get asked this all the time, do you sing ever?

Say you're at home and the mood takes you, because in your rapping, it's rapping, it's kind of talking, if you're in the shower, a little bit of Frank Sinatra maybe?

Yeah, a lot of Frank Sinatra.

Yeah, really?

Yeah.

You got a good voice?

No, I mean, I sing on my records, I can't really, I'm not a singer.

But it's not singing singies, it's not like, oh, the summer breeze, you know.

No. That is officially singing, regardless of what you think.

But you ever get tempted to cut loose on a record?

I mean, I've done some things, you know, here and there, like as far as like singing, but, you know, I'll tell the world I can't sing.

That's not my, you know what I mean, what I feel like my forte is.

But, you know, some hooks, if you listen to them, there's melodies in them.

Yeah, there's a melody.

Well, the way you use the voice is melodic as well.

Yeah, as long as you can hold a key, you know what I mean, or a note or whatever.

You can do it?

Yeah, I guess.

Yes, at least I try.

How was it when you were starting out?

Because I know before you came along, there was only one white rapper I was familiar with, and that was Vanilla Ice.

He was great.

Mr. Richard Von Winkle or something.

Believe it or not, I interviewed him years ago.

I quite liked him, he was a nice guy.

However, he was kind of a bit of a novelty act, really.

You came along, and obviously it's the real thing.

But did you encounter that kind of prejudice?

Did you encounter that attitude early on, people saying he can't do it because he's a white guy, this is essentially black urban music?

I mean, yeah, early on I went through quite a bit of that.

But I think that at the end of the day, I guess if you, as long as you,

if your heart is in it and you just keep persevering, you're going to break through.

I mean, I don't know.

I mean, it was certainly, it wasn't easy, you know what I mean?

But I just kept at it.

You know, I got booed off stage.

It was many times, as I did in the movie, like certain, you know.

How long did it take, do you think, before you got good enough to think, OK, this is working now?

How many times did you have bad on stage experiences?

100

Um, maybe a couple.

101

So not that many.

102

Because I'm pretty awesome.

103

Okay, let me talk about your new single because you know what I love about your work, and I'm sure many people do, there's a sense of humor in it.

104

It's funny.

105

A lot of the time it's funny.

106

Not always, sometimes it's dark and you know, other things, but sometimes it's very funny.

107

The new single is very funny

108

and you have a firm grasp of popular culture culture you kind of I think the word

109

that young people use is this you diss some people in

110

the new single some yeah yeah now do you have any

111

feedback you ever meet those people do they ever contact you

112

and let you know what they think about it

113

or nah I mean here's the thing this is this is the kind of the way

114

that I see it in the way

115

that I've always said it is it's kind of like these

116

aren't personal attacks on people these I've never met these people you know what I mean

117

so these aren't like personal attacks on their character or or anything like that, you know, it's kind of like picking names out of a hat.

118

And if your name rhymes with something good, you know what I mean?

119

That's the same line.

120

If you're, you know, a pop figure, you know what I mean, like in this world...

121

Like Marilyn Manson, who you do, and Jessica Simpson, and Sarah Palin, I guess.

122

But you can see why, if you do Sarah Palin, people might think, oh, he wants to make a statement about Sarah Palin or American politics.

123

I do, I want to nail her, but...

124

If anyone's gonna, I think you got a good chance.

125

Hey, you're looking in good shape.

126

One of the rumors I heard that when you were away, that you'd ballooned up, that you'd got really big.

127

Did you put on a lot of weight?

128

Yeah, I put on quite a few pounds.

129

How chunky did you get?

130

I think I probably tipped the scales a little over 200.

131

And was this just eating, overeating?

132

It was eating, it was taking pills that I had no business taking, you know what I mean?

133

Doing things that I just wasn't taking care of myself, I wasn't taking care of my body.

134

I kind of felt like, I mean, you know, there were times I wanted to just give it up, you know what I mean?

135

I was in a pretty dark place.

136

To keep in check of this now, you must be working out a lot, I guess, and you've got a fitness regime you stick to?

137

Yeah, I run a lot.

138

I run quite a bit.

139

I get up in the morning.

140

I was running twice a day for a little while.

141

And how far did you run when you say one?

142

It's half an hour, ten minutes?

143

What is it?

144

I was running...

145

I was...

146

There was one point where I was running, like, it was a little too much.

147

It was a little extreme.

148

It was a total of 17 miles.

149

But you know what that is.

150

That's you filling the gap you had in your life when you've given up the other stuff from there.

151

It's kind of addictive behavior.

152

Yeah, it's like you kind of go from one addiction to the next, and I'm an addict, you know what I mean?

153

So I'm, I guess, an extremist, like one extreme to the next.

154

Well, now, am I right in thinking that one of the things you're addicted to right now, and I'm very excited about this, is American comic books.

155

Oh yeah, I kind of, I had that hobby when I was a kid, like I used to collect comics a lot, and I kind of, I guess when I, as I started to get sober,

156

I kind of like fell back in love with, you know, comic books again.

157

Like, oh, this is dope, why did I ever leave this alone?

158

There you go, there's Eminem on the cover of The Punisher, one of the Punisher comics, a recent one.

159

That's got to be, you've got to know you've arrived when you're on the cover of the Punisher.

160

Oh yeah, that's how you know you made it.

161

Yeah.

162

The hat you're wearing in that particular situation, because it's red, it looks rather like my wife has something that she wears in the shower sometimes.

163

I don't think they've done you any photos.

164

But you do like the headgear, don't you?

165

Yeah, I do like the headgear.

166

Yeah, and what's the name of the guys you perform with, the group?

167

D12.

168

D12.

169

Now, here's a photograph.

170

They all look very splendid, but the fella to the bottom right, he appears to be wearing his grandmother's shower cap.

171

Do you have any is there any quality control

172

that goes on with the gang around you do you

173

when they come in they file in do you ever say Good good good.

174

Oh Absolutely not or you just let it come as it

175

and fall as it does no when he put that thing on I was like good good good great

176

Are you gonna come back you do some more tools um I haven't got

177

that far as far as like touring I haven't like got

178

that far to do to really figure it out yet I haven't got

179

that part figured out so I'm kind of you know I'm kind of an album cycle right now

180

Promoting and things like that, but we'll see how it goes.

181

Do you have any need this evening of a human big box?

182

Maybe we should just do the whole thing acapella

183

and you should be boxing this is you might be we won't need alchemist I am old school.

184

I'm old school.

185

Really?

186

Yeah, man.

187

I'm old school I'm so old school I don't even know what old school means.

188

Me neither. At this point.

189

It's hard to bust a rhyme, to bust a rhyme and keep in time, it's tricky.

190

It's tricky, tricky, tricky and I can do it.

191

Wow.

192

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
