The rumours are swirling that the jig is up for Eminem – he’s giving up his rapping career for one in production (still just a rumour at this stage), he’s addicted to painkillers and is entering hospital to try and kick ‘em (true, it would seem), he’s died, fat and bloated, on the toilet with a cheeseburger in his hand. No, wait, that last one’s Elvis.

So perhaps The Anger Management Tour live concert DVD release, recorded in 2004, will be the defining and closing statement on the Eminem phenomenon. The crowd goes absolutely bananas, and Eminem’s flow is nothing short of amazing – that he has been able to do this live for so many years now is testament to his sheer application.

That said, it’s not too surprising that he’s burnt out – spitting out his rhymes every night for months on end must be absolutely exhausting. His fury, anger, and sheer passion is nothing short of inspiring, and whether or not you like Em is irrelevant; what is clear is that he’s an insanely marvellous performer who completely engages with, but also relates to, the audience.

The The Anger Management Tour package itself comes with a short documentary on the Anger Management tour, which is less informative than it is downright hilarious. But the key here is the live performance – whilst most white folks should stay a million miles away from the rap genre, Eminem makes it sound like he’s an originator, not a pretender.
