With “Recovery” due June 22, the Detroit rapper released a pair of artful, cryptic cover images today, creating an inevitable stir across the Internet.
Of more interest, though, is a striking image set in downtown Detroit that seems rife with symbolism. It’s a sleek, surreal shot portraying Eminem inside a transparent cube — a glass house? — on a deserted Hart Plaza, the Renaissance Center looming behind him. The 37-year-old star is seated on a leather couch, book in hand and glass of milk within reach.
The crisply composed, modernist image will adorn what is likely to be of one of the world’s top-selling albums this year. And it’s ripe for interpretation, which Detroit art connoisseurs were happy to engage in today.
I have no idea what this means. All I know, if I ever got a glass house, it sure as hell wouldn't be a studio. And with that parental advisor sticker, that CD will never make it into the Mason household. I remember my mom taking away MMase's Alanis Morissette disc cause of the word "chickenshit". He was the real chickenshit when he balled like a bitch and threatened to run away.
I ran away when Ma refused to let me wear my Airwalks in the family photo, not when she took away my Alanis cd. Get your facts straight.
