One is a white rapper looking to make a comeback. The other raps about kitchen gear on late-night TV. An odd couple? Or oddly suited to each other? You be the judge, as Vince Shlomi trades in the ShamWow and Slap Chop to pitch Eminem’s new CD, which he boasts “cuts razor-thin slices.”

As good a use as any for an Eminem CD
I’m not a huge fan of the guy either, but I admire his talent. There are only a handful of people who play with the language and have the command of cadence that he does.
play with the language?
is that a cute way of saying functionally illiterate.
“Will Smith is an insult to the gender of rap”. he said it, not me
I admit, I laughed. Still won’t buy it though.
Holy crap he looks old… time must be cruel to those that punch hookers. Anyone ever watch the movie Vince made years ago? Bonus point to those who know the title…
Hey — you go up against the CoS and see if you don’t get a few grey hairs.
The Underground Comedy Movie, its what got him blacklisted from the Scientology inner circle and started his legal troubles in the first place
.. and the fact that she bit his tongue hard enough to restrain it, and he stopped as soon as she let go, doesn’t factor into your karma equation in any way?
We all know the rule is you don’t kiss hookers. He broke the cardinal rule next to “don’t touch the strippers”.
All I’m saying is that this post, like about 100,000 on the subject, are written as if Vince walked into the room, casually sauntered up to a prostitute and punched her in the face as a punchline to a knock-knock joke.
I don’t get a free pass to commit disfiguring violence on a client if a business deal doesn’t fall together as per prior plans, so why should she?
Not saying either of them are a saint here, but I am fascinated by the near-systemic desire to gloss over the fact that she initiated the physical violence, and at a pretty savage level too.
This must be why the new Eminem cd sold almost 750,000 copies the first week.
He also won 2 Grammys just a few months ago for last year’s album which has sold over 3 million copies. So I wouldn’t say he’s “looking to make a comeback.”
Look, even Eminem said the last album was kinda “meh.”
Yeah, he’s admitted his last 2 albums haven’t been very good, as he was on drugs when he made Encore and was recovering from his drug addiction when he made Relapse. It seems like he’s in a better place now as he’s clean and it seems like he’s getting a sense of humor, with this ad and his recent appearance on The Soup where he was making fun of himself.
Won’t buy the CD but 2 words for the ad: Epic Win.
Lookin a little pudgy there, Vince.
but what about Vince’s recovery?
They’re both have ties to domestic violence. Why not?
i thought the funniest thing about it was definitely the shampon…
They found one on a back shelf at WalMart.
It is marked down to $29.99.
How odd, I never liked Eminem or Vince Shlomi but I like this commercial. I STILL won’t buy his crappy CD.
Such envy from people here. You wish you were Vince.
This beats any tacky ad Hardee’s, BK or Spirit Airlines has done in years.
Pure genius.
