With each passing single, Eminem seems less and less interested in continuing to rap. His verses on Akon's "Smack That" (SRC/Konvict Muzik), already a throwaway ode to ladies' butts, couldn't be more cliche-ridden. On Em's new single "You Don't Know" (Shady), from the forthcoming compilation "The Re-Up," where he introduces new rappers, he pops in almost like an afterthought with talk of beefs and partying, while 50 Cent and Lloyd Banks do the song's heavy lifting. If Eminem wants a break, that's cool, but he shouldn't waste fans' time with these half-hearted attempts.
