Eminem: 'Space Bound' video still
Eminem has been branded "evil" by parenting groups after portraying suicide in his new music video for 'Space Bound'.

The 38-year-old rapper premiered the promo earlier this week, which sees him have a split personality only for one half of him to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head.

Eminem also hallucinates strangling his on-screen girlfriend, played by porn star Sasha Grey.

Parenting groups have now criticised the video for portraying violence against women and showing an extreme method of suicide.

"People who do this are really quite evil. Children are influenced by the things they see. If we feed violence, it becomes strong. Like an addiction," a spokesperson for Mothers Against Violence told The Mirror.

"It's all about the money with these videos. Eminem isn't thinking about the families affected. It's selfish – it comes to a point when selfishness becomes evil."

The 'Space Bound' video was directed by Joseph Khan and shot in Los Angeles back in February.

'Space Bound' is the fourth single to be taken from Eminem's chart-topping album Recovery, which was released last summer.

Just thinking Eminem hasnt been this controversial since way back when.

1. The GaGa diss.
2. Collaborating with Bruno Mars.
3. Concert in Northern Ireland under threat.
4. Being called Evil for 'glorifying suicide'.

Maybe he's gonna get really ****ing angry again.

Chrysler is not alone in trying to keep others from stepping on elements of its iconic "Imported from Detroit" Super Bowl ad.

Eminem, who proudly touted his gritty home town in the ad, is trying to stop Audi from using an unauthorized interpretation of his Lose Yourself -- the heartbeat of the Chrysler ad -- in an ad showing a 2012 Audi A6 Avant wagon cruising the streets of Berlin.

Eight Mile Style, the Ferndale, Mich.-based company that handles his song licensing, sued in Germany a few weeks ago and this week, filed a motion in a German court this week to quash the ad.

Since imitation in advertising is as common, and hard to fight, as it is in TV sit-coms or movies -- and one thing the Audi ad doesn't clone is the trademark Detroit tagline -- Chrysler has taken no legal action. But we'd guess it's not unhappy that Eight Mile is giving Audi a hard time.

We've included the video above. The Chrysler ad is below. Drive On thinks it proves again that -- also as with sit-coms or movies -- sequels are a bad idea. What do you think?

the original was brilliant.

Eminem’s “Recovery” this week has become the first album to sell 1 million digital downloads in the U.S., the rapper’s label, Interscope Records, announced Tuesday. That's about 25% of the collection's U.S. sales total, which is nearing 4-million copies since its release last year, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

The achievement comes just a week after Eminem returned to the No. 1 slot on the national sales chart with his collaboration with rapper Royce da 5’9”, “Bad Meets Evil,” giving Eminem his second No. 1 album within 12 months.

“Over the years we've made a concerted effort to engage Em's online fan base,” the rapper’s manager, Paul Rosenberg, said in a statement, “so this achievement is especially rewarding. Eminem made an amazing album with ‘Recovery’ and the fans responded in record numbers.”

“Recovery” gave Eminem his sixth No. 1 album, and it yielded two Grammy Awards, for rap album and rap solo performance. He is making only a handful of concert appearances in 2011, most recently at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Tennessee on June 11. Other tour dates are noted on his website.

The digital milestone for an album was reached 5 1/2 years after Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” became the first single to pass the 1-million mark for paid digital downloads in 2005.

Eminem has become the first artist in the US to sell over one million digital albums.

The 'No Love' rapper broke the record with his latest album Recovery, which was released in June 2010.

The album's digital sales currently stand at 1,001,000 copies, while combined sales with the physical edition equal 3.9 million, according to Billboard.

Interscope Records vice-chairman Steve Berman commented: "Recovery selling one million digital albums is an incredible achievement by an incredible artist. I have had the pleasure of working with Eminem throughout the course of his career, and I'm delighted to be a part of yet another milestone on his amazing journey."

Adele is also on course to become the first British artist to sell over one million digital copies of a single album with her second record 21.

The 'Set Fire To The Rain' songstress is expected to pass the sales milestone next week, with her sophomore effort still riding high on the Billboard 200 chart.

Eminem recently faced criticism regarding his new music video for Recovery single 'Space Bound', in which he depicts a man with a split personality committing suicide.

Along with Dre, Skylar has Eminem to thank for her continued success, even going to bat for her when she penned the hook to "I Need a Doctor" and the label attempted to swap her vocals for Lady Gaga's. "Somebody in the room suggested we get Lady Gaga to sing the hook on 'I Need a Doctor' and [Eminem] stood up for me and said no, because he wanted to keep my voice on the song," she says. "That was a big thing for me because had I not kept my voice on 'I Need a Doctor,' who knows where I'd be right now." She continues, "After the Grammy Awards performance of that song, alot of things changed for me. It really changed my life. It provided a great platform for me, and I'm forever grateful for Eminem and Dr. Dre." Skylar revealed that she had 6500 more Twitter followers in the immediate minutes that followed that fateful Grammy performance.

Eminem was crowned today as Rolling Stone magazine’s King of Hip-Hop, after a data-heavy look at rap's most successful artists.

First the facts: Rolling Stone compiled info gathered from 2009 through the first seven months of 2011. The magazine ranked 20 solo rappers, including Drake, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg and more. The publication looked at album sales, social media presence, YouTube page views, concert grosses, industry awards, critics' ratings and more.

Em, who was the world’s best-selling musical artist of the first decade of the 2000s with more than 32 million albums sold, had 7.5 million in album sales during the period Rolling Stone examined, more than 1.3 billion YouTube views and 48 million Twitter and Facebook followers. That was enough to land him ahead of Lil Wayne (No. 2) and Drake (No. 3), though Rolling Stone cited Drake as the artist to watch in the year ahead.

The mag had this to say about the Detroit-based Eminem: “As recently as three years ago, Eminem winning a survey like this was unthinkable; his nearly half-decade hiatus from recording made any comeback unlikely, let alone one in which he took back the charts as if he’d never left.”
