"Due to a massive amount of bootlegging and constant downloading, people are no longer buying CDs so that we can get paid for our ******* work. They're just continuing to get songs for free... putting music retail in a tremendous slump, causing artists such as myself to get make money for record sales and be forced to tour, causing more stress, arguments with my wife, not being able to see my kids, drink more, take more pills, punch more people in the face, hate the world and end up in rehab!" he said. "This has been a PSA in an excuse to vent by Marshall Mathers. Not that I wouldn't have done the same thing if I could get music for free when I was a kid, but now that I rap for a living, buy my g** **** CDs!"

A new track was revealed yesterday by Eminem called "Love Game," featuring the very popular Kendrick Lamar.
Rumors of Eminem and Kendrick had been swirling all summer once the two were seen hanging out together. At the time Lamar denied they were doing a track, and said they were just discussing music and enjoying themselves. With the track listing revealed earlier this month, fans of hip-hop had their dreams come true upon seeing his name next to "Love Game."
Eminem and Lamar along with J. Cole will be headlining an Australian and New Zealand stadium tour called "Rapture" in February. A tour that will see the rappers perform in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Auckland, New Zealand, TheMusic.com.au reported.
On last Tuesday the rapper released what is sure to be a smash single, "The Monster," with Rihanna.
"The Monster" was the fourth track released by Eminem from the upcoming album, and it is the fourth collaboration by the rapper and pop star singer.
"Recorded a #monster hook for one of my favourite artists! And that's all I can give you…" Rihanna tweeted back in September, reported NME.com.
Their smash hit, "Love the Way You Lie," off of his 2010 Recovery album, was No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks.
Other songs released before the leak and ahead of the Nov. 5 release date have been the single, "Berzerk," the CoD anthem "Survival" and "Rap God."
