8

9
Eminem Slim Marshall.
10
Look at my mind.
11
You can call me.
12
You've got the voices as well.
13
Hey, now, where have you been?
14
What have you been doing?
15
It's been what?
16
Has it been four years, five years since the last album?
17
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 i wanted to
18
pull back from the spotlight for a little while you know um just i guess kind of reassess my whole career you know what i mean i
19
ended up in rehab in 2005 and um you know just kind of wanted to like i was trying to figure out where i was going you know what i mean
20
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 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.
21
And I guess you were still creating music, writing music in that period, even if you weren't releasing it.
22
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,
23
even though, I mean, I was still writing, I was still making songs, but it just wasn't, I wasn't making anything that I felt like was good enough to put out at that time.
24
And so, and then what happened?
25
It just clicked again or you just thought the time was right?
26
Well, I got sober first of all, you know what I mean?
27
How tricky was that for you?
28
Was that a difficult journey?
29
Was that a tough thing to do?
30
Yeah, definitely.
31
It was pretty rough.
32
You know, there were a couple of years that were pretty bad for me.
33
But, you know, I'm a little over a year sober now, so I'm happy to do it.
34
Okay, I haven't got the new album yet.
35
It's not quite out yet.
36
I've been given a few tracks.
37
I've been enjoying them very much.
38
They're great fun.
39
The single's terrific But I love you know, I'm a big admire you.
40
I think you're just such a talented writer What was the song you did about performing that was in 8 Mile?
41
Lose Yourself.
42
Yeah That's got some of the best lyrics.
43
It's just such an incredible captures the kind of the fear of performing and the need to perform and the desire I just thought that was a remarkable piece of work If you weren't doing if you weren't writing rap, would you be were you writing beforehand?
44
Was it rap that got you into writing in the first place or were you already expressing yourself in that way?
45
Nah, I mean I didn't actually start writing, it was definitely hip hop.
46
I didn't pick up a pen and realise that I could write anything until rap got me into doing that.
47
I heard Ice-T, Reckless was one of the first songs I ever heard.
48
Once I heard Run DMC, LL Cool J, I was like, this is what I want to do.
49
So this is the first wave of the big rappers, this is really, Run DMC, those guys.
50
Did you like Houdini and those guys as well?
51
Oh yeah.
52
The Fat Boys, you remember the Fat Boys?
53
Yeah buddy.
54
Oh, you could eat...
55
That's good.
56
Yeah.
57
Thank you.
58
We should team up, we should do something, maybe release something together.
59
That'd be hot.
60
Do you, let me ask something and I'm sure people who rap get asked this all the time, do you sing ever?
61
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?
62
Yeah, a lot of Frank Sinatra.
63
Yeah, really?
64
Yeah.
65
You got a good voice?
66
No, I mean, I sing on my records, I can't really, I'm not a singer.
67
But it's not singing singies, it's not like, oh, the summer breeze, you know.
68
No.
69
That is officially singing, regardless of what you think.
70
But you ever get tempted to cut loose on a record?
71
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.
72
That's not my, you know what I mean, what I feel like my forte is.
73
But, you know, some hooks, if you listen to them, there's melodies in them.
74
Yeah, there's a melody.
75
Well, the way you use the voice is melodic as well.
76
Yeah, as long as you can hold a key, you know what I mean, or a note or whatever.
77
You can do it?
78
Yeah, I guess.
79
At least I try.
80
How was it when you were starting out?
81
Because I know when, before you came along, there was only one white rapper I was familiar with and that was Vanilla Ice.
82
He was great.
83
He was, eh, Mr.
84
Richard Von Winkle or something.
85
No, believe it or not, believe it or not, I interviewed him years ago.
86
And I quite liked him, he was a nice guy.
87
However, he was kind of, he was kind of a bit of a novelty act really.
88
You came along and it's obviously the real thing.
89
But did you encounter that kind of prejudice?
90
Did you encounter that attitude early on?
91
People saying he can't do it because he's a white guy and this is essentially black urban music?
92
I mean, yeah, early on I went through quite a bit of that.
93
But I think that at the end of the day, I guess, as long as your heart is in it and you just keep persevering, you're going to break through.
94
I mean, I don't know.
95
I mean, it was certainly...
96
It wasn't easy, you know what I mean?
97
But I just kept at it.
98
I got booed off stage.
99
It was many times, as I did in the movie, like certain...
100
How long did it take, do you think, before you got good enough to think, okay, this is working.
101
How many times did you have bad on-stage experiences?
102
Um, maybe a couple.
103
So not that many.
104
Because I'm pretty awesome.
105
Okay.
106
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.
107
It's funny.
108
A lot of the time, it's funny.
109
Not always.
110
Sometimes it's dark and, you know, other things, but sometimes it's very funny, the new single is very funny and uh you have a firm grasp of popular culture you kind of um i think the word that young people use is this uh you diss some people
111
in the new single some yeah yeah now do you have any feedback do you ever meet those people do they ever contact you and let you know what they think about it or no i mean here's the thing this is this is the kind of the way that i see it in the way that i've always said it is it's kind of like Like,
112
these aren't personal attacks on people.
113
I've never met these people, you know what I mean?
114
So these aren't, like, personal attacks on their character or anything like that.
115
You know, it's kind of like picking names out of a hat.
116
And if your name rhymes with something good, you know what I mean?
117
That's just bad luck.
118
If you're, you know, a pop figure, you know what I mean?
119
Like, in this world...
120
Like Marilyn Manson, who you do, and Jessica Simpson, and Sarah Palin, I guess.
121
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.
122
I do I want to nail her but if anyone's gonna I think you've got a good chance.
123
Hey you're looking in good shape.
124
One of the rumors I heard that when you're away that you'd ballooned up that you'd got really big.
125
Did you put on a lot of weight?
126
Yeah I put on quite a few pounds.
127
How chunky did you get?
128
I think I probably tipped the scales a little over 200.
129
And was this just this was just eating overeating?
130
It was eating it was taking pills that I had no business taking, you know what I mean?
131
Doing things that I just wasn't taking care of myself.
132
I wasn't taking care of my body.
133
I kind of felt like, I mean, there were times I wanted to just give it up, you know what I mean?
134
I was in a pretty dark place.
135
To keep each other this now, you must be working out a lot, I guess, and you've got a fitness regime you stick to?
136
Yeah, I run a lot.
137
I run quite a bit.
138
I get up in the morning.
139
I was running twice a day for a little while.
140

141

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
