Eminem is More Motivational Then Ever
I’m not going to attempt to say I’m an expert in the rap scene – I just follow what’s playing on the radio, club, bar – But I remember Eminem back when he came out, and I was in high school – he was derogative, slanderous, disrespectful, etc etc – It was rather hilarious and got him a lot of …

All this news about the Chinese government artificially keeping the US dollar low versus their Chinese yuan (rmb) currency –> USD/RMB – or a higher Chinese Yuan (RMB) to a US dollar (RMB/USD).
