Eminem Impersonates Osama Bin Laden In New Video

DETROIT (Top40 Charts) - For Eminem's 1999 commercial debut, "My Name Is," the controversial Detroit-bred rapper impersonated former President Bill Clinton. Now, he switches political hats for his latest video, "Without You," taking on the likeness of leading September 11 terrorist attack suspect Osama bin Laden.

In the video, which features Dr. Dre, D12, and new protege Obie Trice, bin Laden appears on the Sally Jessy Raphael Show. Eminem also portrays Raphael in the video, scheduled to premiere next month.

According to Eminem's spokesperson, the song, which is expected to impact radio on Friday (April 26), is about "the world feeling so empty without Eminem, and why he's coming back."

Eminem is also confirmed to perform on Saturday Night Live on May 11. His third album, The Eminem Show, is scheduled to be released on June 4.

In related news, British magazine The Face agreed to reprint its May issue featuring Eminem on the cover. Eminem was upset that the magazine changed the color of his red shirt to pink. Eminem's red shirt conflicted with the publication's red logo.

"It was done intentionally to cause controversy and to taunt Eminem," the artist's spokesperson told the New York Daily News. "The Face [has now] agreed to publish an issue containing photos as they were originally captured on film."
