I love music so much this is my passion, this is what I want to do. Not saying that I won’t do a movie ever again but this is me.

The artist releases his single, Love The Way You Lie, featuring Rihanna, from the album, Recovery. Rihanna:
They reached out to us directly and they just said, ‘We have this song and we just think Rihanna would be perfect to sing it, And, of course, I was like, ‘OK, if I love it, I’ll definitely do it, because I love Eminem.’ And I love the song. It’s really beautiful, and it really stands out. It’s a really unique record. I’m really excited about it.

Airplanes part II
Williams and Eminem collaborate on the track together for B.O.B’s Airplanes part II. Williams:
I was given the track a while ago while we were on tour. The guys and I all loved it. They told me I was crazy if I passed it up. I liked the part too much anyways, so of course I was down. I only found out about Eminem getting on the track like a month ago. As if the song couldn’t get any better. He just slays me, he’s such a genius.

Beautiful
The artist releases his single, Beautiful, from the album, Relapse.
One of the only reasons that I put that track on there is that I feel like it’s the best song out of that batch that I did when I wasn’t sober. At the time I felt like, ‘This is it for me.’ I wrote the first verse and a half in rehab, and when I came out, I finished it. It was the only song that marks that period without bringing me back to that place. Every other track not only didn’t fit with the album, but when I listened to it, it would bring up bad memories.

3 a.m.
The artist releases his single, 3 a.m., from the album, Relapse.
In that song I relapse in a rehab facility or something like it. I just black out and f--king kill everybody. I was trying to create a triple entendre with the [album] title: relapsing literally, going back to the old days – just blacking the f--k out and killing everyone. I wanted to paint a picture for the listener, to make them feel like they are in the story and part of it as each line progresses.
