Eminem is back with a vengeance nearly climbing to the top of Billboard's Hot 100 with his brand new single "We Made You".
According to Billboard the Detroit-bred rapper debuted at no.9, nearly tumbling current top 10 singles from T.I., Jamie Foxx and Kid Kudi, who were able to skate by this week at no.5-7 respectively.
While Eminem's debut did not best records currently held by Rihanna and Britney Spears, Eminem's arrival on the Hot 100 is a career best.
"We Made You" also moved 167,000 digital copies during its first week of release.
Eminem's highly anticipated album "Relapse" is due in stores May 19.

You know, like Dr. Sam(LOL) said, all the Black artists he has mimicked had gotten pissed off at him in the past and some of them at one time in their careers were and still are A-listers! Black artists get mad at whites when the jokes come from them! I remember Coolio getting pissed off at Weird Al Yankavic years ago too! Eminen even says it, "Yall act like you never seen a white rapper before?"Where is BET's comic view when we need it?
i freekin love this new song of em's its so f***in awesome me and my friends jsut sit in my room listening to it full blasting(of coarse my sister isnt there...shes taking care of me).
We also see that the video for "We made You" did not slam any African-American artists this time! Hmmm! Some of his best friends were and are Black and he works well with African-Americans as we all know, but it is not good when our artistry is slammed by him! He is talented, but receives instant public accolades because of his race! It's ironic how African-American artists like MC Hammer, Micheal Jackson, Will Smith and Mariah Carey are the ones who "didn't take his mockery lightly", but all the white celebrities who he mocked love it! It was a good move for him to induct Run DMC, because you wondered at times did he have an appreciaton for artists who came before him because he has it easier than alot of MC's!
