Released: 11th May 2009.

"We Made You" is the first single from Eminem's comeback album "Relapse" and complete with controversial text about famous people whose faces we can usually find on the tabloid pages. He jeers at lesbian celebrities (Lindsay Lohan, Ellen DeGeneres), Britney Spears, Sarah Palin and Amy Winehouse's marriage. Many people could say that video is better than the song. We all heard Eminem singing parody, but he is still in good form not only thanks to fantastic Sarah Palin and Amy Winehouse doubles. He shows us that he didn't lose his fantastic sense of humor and he's equally good at ridiculous lyrics and in more serious songs.

There was a time when, whatever was being praised to the high heavens at a certain point, you could bet Eminem would be laying into vociferously a few months later. But, with it being 4 years since his last hit (December 2005's "When I'm Gone"), "We Made You" is actually pretty pathetic with it's notable and rather belated jibes at Sarah Palin and Amy Winehouse, jibing of the latter having been done so much better on Little Jackie's "Crying For The Queen" last year. How big this will end up being ultimately lays in how relevant the public feels he still is.
