2017 has been a year of strained alliances. Between the US and the UK's "special relationship" suddenly looking not so "special", and the entire world's increasingly tense relationship with North Korea, it's apparent that international relations are at an all-time low.

While you'd expect the 45th President of the United States to stay in the headlines, you wouldn't expect them to dominate headlines with reports of his misguided thumb-war against the world writ large, a pursuit which hilariously culminated in the now-infamous term "covfefe".

With a 20+ year career under his belt, it's probably safe to say that Eminem knows what he's doing when it comes to music. His first big success came in 1999 with The Slim Shady LP, which made Marshall Mathers a household name across America. The most popular track on…
