Giving It Away Some More!

Filed under: Music Minute > Eminem

wenn24127143.jpg

Eminem's latest album, Relapse, is still getting shiteous reviews. But it seems Fem will do anything to get his album out!

Aside from appearing on Jimmy Kimmel's show three times this month, Eminem's people also flew out about 200 auto workers that have been recently laid-off to join the audience.

And ,now, Eminem is set to give away FREE tickets to his upcoming concert in his hometown.

The rapper is planning a free show in Detroit the same day his album gets released this Tuesday.

Eminem's people posted the message on his MySpace page last night that free tickets will be given away this afternoon for tomorrow's concert.

Fem's rep also confirmed the free show will take place at MotorCity Casino's 1,500-seat Sound Board theater.

Creative marketing or desperate bid for publicity?

  1. 1

    His face is starting to look more and more like Carrot Tops to me… what the hell is he doing to his face?



  2. 2

    WHOA bad plastic surgery alert!



  3. 3

    there is seriously something wrong with his face? *vomit*



  4. 4

    he's doing it to help ppl that don't have jobs. Jay Leno's doing the same thing. it has nothing to do with what u're saying Perez. u're an idiot.



  5. 5

    Creative! His performance on Kimmel was fuckin awesome and he is so damn fine.



  6. 6

    good on you feminem, still good



  7. 7

    I don't find the album that bad, tell me one other white rapper in his class. He's entertaining and funny, what more do you want. od do you rather listen to Lindsay Lohan or Hannah Montana?



  8. 8

    creative marketing. hes giving back to the city that helped make him. nothing wrong with that.



  9. 9

    Stop hating, Perez. This is a good thing.



  10. 10

    If I need a dose of bullshit negativity I can always come to your site Mario. Thanks for being such an asshole.



  11. 11

    He only can perform for 1500 people now? LMAO!



  12. 12

    one bad review and you just wont let it go will you? i think its awsome what hes doing. detroit is gettin hard with the bad economy & i think its a great way to give back to his home town. the world knows he doesnt have to try hard for publicity - so i would say this is far from desperate.



  13. 13

    What? I think that it is grteat that he is giving tickets away. Seems like a cool guy to me.



  14. 14

    LMAO @ the way you spin everything about eminem around to make him seem like this unknown prick. He flew out 200 laid off autoworkers, and somehow, you managed to make that negative. And now, he's throwing a FREE concert for his loyal fans who have waited for him to come back for years, and you manage to make that negative too.

    And it's funny how you're using your site to get people not to buy his album. You keep posting all the "shiteous" reviews it's getting, which are done by old people that know shit all about hip-hip (omg kinda like you)… why don't you post the good ones, dickface?

    BUY RELAPSE, IN STORES NOW!!!!!!!!!



  15. 15

    he looks like he has cancer or something.thin pale look at his hands.



  16. 16

    Umm, what the fuck is wrong with his face?



  17. 17

    You don't think that maybe he cares about where he is from and the shit that they are getting, more than any other area, due to the economy. He is not some superhero or able to save the day in anyway but at least he is doing what he can for people from his hometown. I think it is great that he flew people in and is giving a free concert.

    Ofcourse he is changing in looks. He isn't a kid anymore. Sorry he isn't your type but stop giving the guy a hard time…go back to douch bags like Lindsey.



  18. 18

    Dude this guy is Eminem.. love him or hate him he needs no publicity… hes so freakin talented its unreal, dont be hater



  19. 19

    Plz, Perez
    Stop talkin shyt bout Eminem
    ur pissin mee off
    his doin this because of the economy, DUH!!
    so STFU =)



  20. 20

    I highly doubt that Eminem can't sell tickets to a concert. In fact, they would probably sell out in minutes. Personally, I would give my right arm to go to his concert. Yeah OK, he's desperate. What kind of bullshit is that???? He's trying to make people have a fun time in an otherwise depressing period in the lives. Many people can't afford tickets, u know they have to put food on the table. I guess Perez can't relate to struggling in life cause he's made a fortune talking shit about other people. Yes, kind of like Eminen except Eminem's got real TALENT! So anyway Perez let's just wait and see on this Tuesday how many albums he sells. Then we'll see how 'shiteous' (or whatever the fuck stupid word you use) he really is. Seriously you're really starting to piss me off. If only other artists didn't forget where they came from before becoming famous I might have some respect for them like the losers you like to listen to.



  21. 21

    Eminem looks different because he's off the pills !!!!!!



  22. 22

    Why didn't u post his performance on jimmy kimmel? Why cause he fucking killed it? LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



  23. 23

    ok really Perez? This is getting a bit ridiculous. This show was a secret show and the Detroit radio stations, or at least 95.5, have been giving away tickets to this show for a few weeks now. I'm sorry our state is not in the best of places right now and many people can barely afford food, let alone entertainment. Stop trying to tear down someone who is trying to give back to the community he was raised in.

    My god! He's disgusting!



  25. 25

    Yea keep calling him "Feminem", Perez, you'll get your ass kicked next time you run into him!!



  26. 26

    i'm pretty sure its just for publicity.
    since he hasnt made an album out in a few years.
    it only makes sense. lol



  27. 27

    Perez- STOP TRYING TO TURN PEOPLE AGAINST CELEBRITIES JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T LIKE THEM!!!!!!!!!! your little tricks obviously didn't work with Miss California, so SHUT UP!! Eminem has more talent in his left finger than you could ever have in your entire body.. he's a legend.. you're an annoying blogger whom I USED to like, but now i'm just annoyed by.. Eminem has had a crazy, tragic, unusual life- what's the biggest obstacle YOU have ever had to overcome aside from getting beat up for staring at the football players in the locker room!?!??!?! UGH.. don't make fun of legends unless you're ready to get it right back.. you're a huge JOKE!!



  28. 28

    Though I don't personally care for his music or Em himself, this is pretty low of you, Perez. Rolling Stone, for one, gave his new album 4 out of 5 stars. And there's nothing wrong with giving away free shows — it's all about promoting the new album, especially in these rough economic times.



  29. 29

    Perez, I'm disappointed.
    You didn't even turn that bottle into a dick with your white paint magic.
    So, so disappointed.



  30. 30

    Where's Eminem's Mark David Chapman? C'mon someone take 1 for the team and put this clown to sleep.

    The underground rap artist that Eminem steals his ideas from, are way better than this teeny bopper pop star.



  31. 31

    The album is AMAZING. I'm listening to it right now. Even though I already have it I will be buying a copy just to have as a keepsake. Who else can be gone for four years and then just come back on top and be as fucking awesome as Eminem? Nobody! He doesn't have to try he JUST IS! Desperate? No….. The fucking sickest RAPPER OF ALL TIME? Yes!!!! SEXY AS HELL?? Hell yes!!!!



  32. 32

    Creative Marketing. He's also doing something way positive for those recently laid off workers.



  33. 33

    I have read several reviews, like Entertainment Weekly, that said his cd was really good.



  34. 34

    why can't people just be happy having ONE career and becoming very rich with it. Why do they have to come back when no one wants them back?



  35. 35

    Damn, he looks terrible o.O What's he smoking???



  36. 36

    what the hell is going on with his face .. he definitely had something done



  37. 37

    Boooooring! Someone tell Marshall it's not 1999 anymore.

    Here's the problem with Em, he's a one trick pony. He's still making stupid videos trying to make fun of everyone, but he's already done that before and it totally lost it's charm. It also makes him look very petty and shallow, I mean he is Eminem right? Why does he care so much about what other people think of him? He's really insecure about himself, and he has NO sense of humor. You should be able to make fun of yourself and have a laugh every now and then.

    Oh but not our little Emmy. He's all hardcore, yo. He couldn't even handle a stupid dog puppet, he's such a manly man.

    He surrounds himself with his homies who tell him exactly what he wants to hear, and that's really bad for any artist, to be so insulated. I bet they all laugh at his jokes and tell him all his songs are great.

    But he's been out of the spotlight for too long, and hasn't changed his act and he comes across very flat and uninspired now.



  38. 38

    WHY DO YOU HATE EMINEM PEREZ? IF SOMEONE ELSE WAS DOING THIS… LIKE KATY PERRY YOU WOULD SAY SHE IS AWESOME FOR DOING SUCH A THING FOR HER HOMETOWN… SOMETIMES I DONT GET YOU…THERE ARE CERTAIN PEOPLE YOU JUST DONT LIKE…



  39. 39

    PEREZ IS A JEALOUS BITCH!!! EM HAS 80-120 MIL DOLLAS. HE DONT CARE. HE'S DOING IT TO BE CHARITABLE AND GOOD PR AND WHY THE FUCK NOT? WUT CHARITABLE EVENT HAVE YOU DONE FATASS??? THE ONLY THING I SEE IS A FREE BIG MOUTH RANT AGAINST MISS CALI WHICH YOU EFFING LOST BTW.. SHORT MEMORY??



  40. 40

    Re: kellita09 – get 'em



  41. 41

    Why the hate on Eminem?? He is trying to do nice things for the city he came from, the city that is going through some really shitty times right now. Eminem could easily sell out Comerica Park in Detroit, but he's trying to do something good for the people here. And his album is not bad, it's awesome! Leave him alone and stop hating.



  42. 42

    I dont understand, why are you shitting all over him when that Mika person and Jewel gave away tickets to their concerts? Are you just mad he didnt include you?

  43. 29 says – reply to this

    Re: Slackness – hey em, is that you? should have kept the old face cuz this new one is horrible!



  44. 44

    Perez you are a nasty sick whore that I wish would go the fuck away. Your fifteen minutes are over!!!



  45. 45

    Feminem's "reign" is finally O - - V- -E - - R

    i always thought she* and her* "music" sucked,
    now it seems the rest of the country has caught up!

    giving music away for "free" = PATHETIC



  46. 46

    Peretzel, why do you have to be such a bitch…are you mad because he hasnt mentioned you in one of his raps? Are you really disguising you love for hate? Thats what it sounds like to me…And he isnt really desperate, he is one of the most successful rappers of all time and has sold more albums than most musicians period…so i am sure he is far from desperate. Stop being a bitch and get over yourself…i dont see you trying to help anyone less fortunate, other than u random posting of a charity.



  47. 47

    u keep saying its geting crapy reviews but that BS E news give it a good review and so dose rollingstone



  48. 48

    I AM BRITAVADER.



  49. 49

    You know, I've never left a comment on this site before, but I have to address the bias. Regardless of what you think of him, you can't change reality, and reporting falsely is just irresponsible for any journalist, whether you're writing for Rolling Stone or a celebrity tabloid blog.

    Em's new album is receiving high marks from most critics — go to Wikipedia and check out the Pro Reviews tab on the right-hand side of the page. EW gave it an A-, RS gave it 4/5, AT gave it 4/5, and plenty of other papers, too. In fact, there are currently only two negative reviews out of the 11 displayed on the page.



  50. 50

    Re: yummy mummy 3 – 100% agree with you! so well stated :)



  51. 51

    c'mon, if you hadn't heard detroit is in a really bad place…he's trying to do something nice for the people



  52. 52

    wow gay lord you are really trying your best to get acknowledged by em. the dude made it and is giving back to the community, thats great, he should be praised not condemned



  53. 53

    Leave Em alone you jerk face :D !!!

    He's a cool rapper and is down with Gay people. He said Elton John helped him out a lot.

    I think you have a lot in common but you are obviously insecure about him soooooooooooooooooooooo…………. EM ROCKS ! BLAH !



  54. 54

    Wow Fat Body…you must be really disgusted with your self to be trying to discredit eminem for helping out the people from his home town by giving away tickets and flying in laid off auto workers to see his shoe. Why don't you go to DETROIT you fat fuck!!! and then maybe you might understand the value of what he is doing for these people that have lost all hope. Someone ought to take a shit on your face, it might liven up your day you worthless sack of donkey shit.

    Did you degrade Leno when he offered a FREE comedy show in Detroit???? I don't think so. Somone will hopefully put your fat ass in place



  55. 55

    So what's wrong with Em doing some nice things to ppl he care for??? Thos 200 auto workers and the ppl who got free tickets are really lucky ones! Em did something really nice for them and just because you dislike him you think his good deeds are wrong!



  56. 56

    You are confusing his good heart to YOUR desperate attempts to be in the spotlight… so Perez pls tell me how did the FREE Jewel concert work out??? Why no words on that? Anyone showed up??? Is it true that ppl showing up got a free copy of your failed book??? Now that's DESPERATE!!



  57. 57

  62. 62

    that's really cool of eminem, wish i could go. obviously this is all part of the promo, many other artists have done this sort of thing as well. at least eminem doesn't try and con his fan by making them pay to join a fan club and crap like that.



  63. 63

    cant u tell hes acutally helping people out?
    why are u twisting the story around..



  64. 64

    Emi's face does look weird. I think he's had some funky botox



  65. 65

    He's doin somethin nice for people in distress. stop hatin cuz he didnt sing about you Perez!



  66. 66

    Not surprised - he looks like he took the weight off on the Courtney Love Meth Diet.



  67. 67

    The dude has like 239487 singles out. It's like WTF is left on the album?!
    He's over and done with to me. I loved his old stuff like Slim Shady, Mockingbird and Lose Yourself.
    His new stuff is shit.



  68. 68

    i'm not the biggest fan of his but why are you on his balls for giving a free concert to his hometown where the economy is way down who the hell are you to judge him your just like bill o'reily your no different than him i hope to god that the straight people visiting your site don't think were all like you cause were not were kind supportive people go to hell

    I knew you was going to try and find a way to put a negative spin on this :(
    .
    A while back, i created a myspace page just so i could keep up and message my favorite celebs. Today i visited his myspace page, and people were posting like crazy, saying they waited in line for several hours and still couldn't get a ticket. I did post a message, however, and told him that i make awesome mexican/spanish food (since his favorite fast food is taco bell - which is total crap to me) - and if he comes to the new england area, i would cook for him (seriously).
    .
    Anyways, he added me as a friend right away. Maybe if you apologize nicely to mr. mathers for your rude behavior and idiotic comments here, and ask him to be your myspace friend, he might add you too - since we all know you got it bad for the dude ;)



  70. 70

    oops, i forgot my plug :o
    .
    twit me @morenamami :)



  71. 71

    White guys rapping is truly rediculous looking.



  72. 72

    What re you talking about????? I have read reviews from everywhere!! I have only seen two bad reviews and they are the ones you've posted!! My boyfriend has been listening to hip hop his whole life and says that this is his best album yet!!! And believe me he KNOWS music!! Rolling Stone had nothing but good things to say. ClintonSparks said it poppin off!!! Look where you are getting these "shiteous" reviews ie The Chicago Sun Times!! And the guy who wrote the article normally does reviews on Pop music!! Next time find a reliable source!!!



  73. 73

    HEHEHe I got the CD earlier today!!!! It doesnt com out till tomorrow but the little cd stores around put the cds out the day before!!! I refused to listen to it online cuz in some way I felt like it would be betraying Em!! LOL i know im gay but i didn't want to hear it before it came out so I went at 11:30 this morning and got it!!! And can I just say one thing AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best Cd I have heard in years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  74. cj09 says – reply to this


    74

    Please. Eminem could sell out the biggest arena in Detroit even if he charged $200 a ticket, and you know it. Detroit loves their Eminem and their Kid Rock, and there's nothing wrong with that. The fact that he's doing a free show shows that he's still in touch with his hometown and understands what we're all going through here. I get that you don't agree with some of the things he says Perez, and that's fine, but give respect where respect is due.



  75. 75

    OH SNAP! USA Today just gave Relapse a 3.5/4. Why don't you post the good reviews, Perez??

    RELAPSE IN STORES TOMORROW!!! SHADY'S BACK!

  76. chass says – reply to this


    76

    Perez you are such an asshole. He's doing something nice for the community of detroit, sorry you don't see that.



  77. 77

    OMG im tired of ur shit talking Eminem… i think the reason he's being so nice with the people from detroit is because the economy has hit them hard…i didn't see u talking smack about Jay Leno when he did free shows… and he' album is good…one bad fucking review and u make it seem like it's the world…



  78. 78

    If it is a desperate bid for publicity, good job on spreading the word cause I would have never known about this unless you posted it. How come it looks desperate to you but yet you still post it? Sounds like you are a little desperate yourself.



  79. 79

    Now if Eltwat John did this you would warble his praises from the highest roof top.



  80. 80

    Isn't that just exactly wzat you do when you throw your little parties or the event with Mika?

    U lame



  81. 81

    btw it's amazing how much you obviously want Eminem to respond to you so you can get more attention…….pathetic



  82. 82

    It's so cool that you give free publicity to people you dislike. Or hate, even though they don't give you free publicity. Even if his album flops, and I'm sure it won't, he will still profit of dissing the same people you did before the album, and will make more than you. In just a day, ok Fay. I call you that cause you will always be fat and gay. Just a note: I may be gay but it was most definitely by choice. My brain and body don't have an unknown anomaly about them.



  83. 83

    His album is awesome. I downloaded the leaked version, and plan to buy it later today when it's released. Hmm… I wonder who leaked his album? Could it be him? Thanks for supporting the man with your silly blog. Peace MW



  84. 84

    Perez you are trashing him now just like you did britney when she was at her lowest and Miley and all the other attractive young people but when he hits number 1 again you will be praising him just like you did Britney when she came back .You are such a hypocrite and should never be taken seriously because all of your stories are made up in your head its not even gossip its lies you make up . When he hits number 1 you are going to love him again because you are such a fame whore and if I was any of them I would not give you the time of day and ban you from any event I throw.



  85. 85

    He's so ugly it's actually funny.



  86. 86

    youre an ASSHOLE! This is wonderful for Detroit! Thank God the ppl from the D care enough to come back and try to help out its residents… and flying out unemployed auto workers?? Well fuck you, I think its awesome! Its nice and it brings light to how many ppl are suffering right now from unemployment in MI. Dont be so ignorant. Just bc you dont like his music doesnt mean you have to be so blind to the kindness he is distributing.



  87. 87

    Unbelievable that you would take something positive and make it negative simply because you do not like him The state of Michigan has an unemployment rate of 9%, the city of Detoit is at 14%. Em giving a free concert is a great way of uplifting the area for a day. This is his hometown. If any other artist performed in their hometown for free you would promote how great it is. Em loves the D! He has always appreciate the city and what it had done for him! How dare you criticize him for doing something good for people whose live have been turned upside down by the liberal bs you promote!



  88. 88

    Ok so I'm def not an Eminem fan and his face does look scary but, times are hard in Detroit right now. Michigan has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country and also one of the highest rates of home foreclosure. I respect Eminem for trying to give some Detroiters something to look forward to.



  89. 89

    NO MATTER WHAT HATERS GOTTA SAYYYYY…HE WILL ALWAYS LOOK HOTT AND BANGING FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. ALWAYS AND STILL WILL BE AN EMINEM LOVERRRRRR I LOVE HIM LMAO FOR REALZ. HE IS MY FUTURE HUBBSTERZ. I BEEN WAITING ON HIM FOR SUCH A LONG TIME. IT'S NOT FAIR HE'S GIVING AWAY TICKETS SOMEWHERE ELSE AND NOT HERE IN MIAMI. I LOVE EMI.



  90. 90

    Just STOP dissin Eminem you are jealous that he have millions in bank and not you. I bought RELAPSE TODAY and it is AweSOMEEE

    TU es le seul qui est désespéré de cette situation :)
