The 'In Da Club' rapper - real name Curtis Jackson - praised his former
mentor, saying his new material will be far superior to any other hip-hop
release.

He told BANG Showbiz: "I think when he comes back he will absolutely claim
the spot as the number one rap artist.

"I get the opportunity to listen to material prior to its release and I'm
sure it's better than anything that's out.

"Eminem's different. A lot of material he has written is just scrapped,
because it's got to feel like it's just happened, like it's new. That's just
how he works as an artist."

Eminem friend and protegee Bishop Lamont recently confirmed the 'Slim Shady'
star - real name Marshall Mathers - is looking forward to assaulting the
charts once again

He said: "Em is excited. He's been quiet too long, and he's got a lot to get
off his chest."

“He’s got a double chin, a pot-belly and droopy man-breasts. And he’s living a reclusive lifestyle in an attempt to hide his new body,” says the insider.

Eminem’s maternal grandmother Better Kresin told The Enquirer she blames his ongoing food binge on being stressed out about his two failed marriages to ex-wife Kim.

Eminem was rushed to hospital over the Christmas period after suffering from heart pains.

The rapper, real name Marshall Mathers, was taken to a Detroit hospital but was soon released and is now recovering at home.

His publicist has revealed the pains were due to complications resulting from his recent bout of pneumonia.
