Westwood: "Eminem Has Changed"

He's a new man now, according to the Pimp My Ride big dog...

Tim Westwood has shared his thoughts on Eminem and how he's changed.

Speaking as a guest on tonight's TRL, the Pimp My Ride host and all round big dog of the rap world praised Slim Shady and admired the alterations he has made in his life and career. "I think the thing with Em now that you've got to realise is that he's a real genuine artist and he takes his artistry very seriously," Westwood told TRL's Max.

"He's definitely changed, I don't think he drinks much now, he certainly doesn't get high any more. He's really focused on his career but he's also focused on his family, his daughter his the most important thing to him.

"I think Em now, he's come back out with a greatest hits album and it doesn't feel quite as hot this time round, but I'm still a great fan and I think he's a tremendous artist."

Tune-in to TRL every weekday at 6pm on MTV.
