Music Notes: Eminem on Probation

June 28 -- A Michigan judge slapped badboy rapper Eminem with a year of probabion for pulling a gun on a member of the Insane Clown Posse.

The Grammy winner pleaded no contest to the charges in April, and could have faced up to five years in prison. The incident occurred last June in the Detroit area.

"The actions you engaged in are not tolerated in civilized society," Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Langford Morris told Eminem. "Poor judgment is an understatement for what you did."

The judge also told Eminem that he was "extremely lucky" no one was injured. During the reprimand, the rapper was silent.

Eminem is already serving two years probation on a separate weapons charge, in which he was accused of pulling a gun on a man who was supposedly kissing his then-wife, Kim Mathers.

His legal problems are not diminishing his commercial appeal. Eminem is among the rappers in D12, who are debuting on top of the Billboard charts this week with their album Devil's Night.
