Eminem’s reputation as a pitchman is growing. Since his popular Chrysler ad premiered at the Super Bowl, the company’s “Made In Detroit” T-shirts have sold out of stock. That’s every color and every size.
Eminem’s other notable Super Bowl ad was a spot for Brisk Iced Tea and now the beverage company is planning a new program with the rapper that aims to empower consumers to experience engaging content from emerging artists.
“The folks from Brisk offered Eminem a chance to write his own Super Bowl spot and the opportunity to enter into a unique marketing relationship with Shady Records.

It looks like another Eminem/Rihanna collabo is on the way. According to JustJared.com the duo put the finishing touches on the second version, set to be a featured song on Rihanna’s upcoming Loud album, which will hit stores November 16.
The abuse-themed sequel version will speak from the women’s perspective, with lyrics reportedly including, “Even angels have their wing cut schemes, and you take that to new extremes, but you will always be my hero, even though you lost your mind,” according to the site.
