I have a question to ask, has Eminem gotten plastic surgery? Look at his face, there is a very fake quality to it now. Peep game:

There is something very unnatural with his face there, nevermind that his face looks like it has been SUPERIMPOSED with another body. Just to prove my point a little further:

I figured that I am not the first person to ponder this question, and sure enough, a simple search returned quite a few responses.  A post from My Arms Fold Back suggests that he now has a chin implant, and nose surgery (funny knob in the middle there). Another website wonders aloud whether he has had multiple face tucks.

Maybe I am need a late pass and y’all noticed that awhile ago. For that matter, what is the consensus of the hip hop community on cosmetic surgery? It SCREAMS low self-esteem, which is the antithesis of the image rappers are trying to present to the public. Why is surgery even necessary when hip hop embraced Big Pun and Biggie with open arms, looks shouldn’t matter.

No, he doesn’t look like Lil’ Kim or Michael Jackson, but he sure do look funny.

Oh well, I’ll end by saying that this is one my favorite music videos so far this year.
