Eminem Back in the Game

Posted Jun 28th 2006 4:32PM by TMZ Staff

There's been a lot of talk lately about Eminem being understandably down after the death of his friend and former D12 bandmate Proof.  But, if last night's appearance at the BET Awards is any indication, he's not down anymore. Indeed, he's right back on top.


Among the many great performances last night was an all-star rap ensemble led by Busta Rhymes. Busta was joined by Mary J. Blige, Lloyd Banks, Rah Digga and Missy Elliot for a blazing rendition of "Touch It."  The place was jumpin' with that much starpower on stage, but then exploded when Eminem elevated from inside of a van parked on stage.  Eminem showed no signs of rustiness, having not performed lately, as he lit up the stage and, in my opinion, stole the show.

It's good to see Shady back and, no doubt, Proof would be proud.

17. Wow first i want to say i love u eminem u are awesome. I started listen to ur music through my older brother when i was little. Some of the first songs i heard of urs were cleaning out my closet, the real slim shady and criminal.second i want to say im sorry about proof(r.i.p.). He was a very loved and well know rapper. it is so sad to see him go. third i want to say is im sorry about u and kim, just like u said in ur song if its meant to be together it will be thats what destiny is. forth i want to say dont give up so many people love u and dont want ur career to end because that will mean we wont be able to feal ur pain through ur songs anymore. u wont have ne way of letting off ur steam like in ur songs so im going to say it again dont give up. i dont want to see u go. i will love u always and forever and will respect ur decision but i think when u came back on the stage @the BET Awards that said to all ur fans that ur really not going to leave forever. pleaz think it through.......love always a beloved fan

19. i have been wondering where eminem has been for a couple of months now. I think he is very intelligent and very deep. alot of people don't like his music but i appreciate it greatly. he is so in tune with his emotions and what better way to deal with them than in a song. i can't wait to here what his next cd is like. he's had a lot of hate and alot of anger in his last ones. but i think the next will be his best yet because there will be a lot of pain he is dealing with i'm sure. i'm looking forward to hearing his thoughts and feelings about his life as it is now. bring on m.
