Matt and Kim, “Lessons Learned”

The rapper recently confessed that he has recently discovered a new addiction of his: exercise. Eminem related the following about his eploitation of physical exercises: “I’ve done a lot of cardio. I’m actually at the point where I think I’ve got a little obsessive/compulsive about it. Like running on a treadmill – I started doing two miles a day. Then I did four. Then I got up to six, then 10, 15 until at 17 I had to take a break. I couldn’t stop.” Well, it is a known fact that exercise, particularly running, can release endorphins or other “happy” substances in the brain. Still, Eminem probably knows that there are much more powerful forces that can be used for such purposes.

The upcoming edition of XXL is going to feature a collaboration between Eminem and Marvel Comics in anticipation of the release of the rapper’s new album ‘Relapse’, which has already leaked online. In addition to the comic cover art, the magazine will include the first part of the triumvirate’s special edition ‘Punisher’ comic which co-stars Eminem. Marvel’s Editor-in-Chief commented on the collaboration saying “When we learned that Eminem is a fan and collector of Marvel comics, we could only imagine what would happen if The Punisher and Slim Shady met up in the Marvel Universe. This was a unique partnership and the team had a blast working with Eminem and incorporating the rapper into the Marvel fold.”
