Day 216: BET Awards Cypher - Yelawolf x Slaughterhouse x Eminem (Video)

I didn't get a chance to check out the entire BET Awards show that aired today cuz I got off work late, but I did catch some of it and this "Cypher" was probably the main highlight of the night.

Shady 2.0 representing! Even Eminem spits a dope verse at the end #killsit

I'm gonna see if I can go find any other videos of the main performances. I freakin forgot to record it, ughhh.

Day 164: Get on the "Fast Lane" - Royce & Eminem aka Bad Meets Evil (Music Video)

- Alt Audio Link

Royce da 5'9" = Bad, Eminem = Evil. Bad meets Evil... Get it? Good.

Ok, I'm done with today's lesson so go cop their new album Hell: The Sequel which drops today in stores everywhere. If you've heard Royce & Eminem's music from back in the day & you're a true hip-hop head then you need to go get this. Support a style of real hip-hop.

You can also get it here if you're a lazy mofo.

I can't wait to get me a copy of their album after work #CANTWAIT

Day 62: When bad meets evil again! Eminem & Royce da 5' 9" - The baddest duo (Audio)

Eminem & Royce da 5' 9" are back at it again on a new track called "Living Proof." This song reminds me of how they used to collaborate back in the days: keepin it real and not giving a f*** about what they say but at the same time dishing out the rawest lyrics. Check it out (may not be suitable for everyone):

Eminem - Living Proof featuring Royce da 5' 9"

- Alt Audio Link

I'm happy to see them working together again; just like when they both were beginning to emerge onto the hip-hop scene. At a point in time, Eminem went on a different path with his crew, D12, and became THE top rapper of our generation with the help of Dr. Dre.

Royce, on the other hand, did his solo thing for a while and sort of just stayed in the underground scene. Last year, he got together with other lyrically-talented rappers and formed the group called Slaughterhouse, which helped him reconnect with Eminem again. I'm not sure if Eminem reached an agreement to sign the group yet, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be a done deal soon.

I can't wait to hear more from these two. The bad & the evil.

Day 60: Is Dr. Dre really coming out with the "Detox" album? **REPOST

- Saw it here first: AshleyOutrageous.com

So, just recently there has been a buzz again about Dr. Dre giving people the notion that he will be releasing his so called "Detox" album that has been "in the making" for several years now. This album has been an on & off project that sort of faded away for a long time, but news about it is finally emerging again.

I just found this new XXL Magazine cover (above) for the December/January 2011 issue, so we will finally get a scoop on what the deal is with this "Detox" album that's supposed to top all of his older albums. Sources say this album will be set to be released in Q1 of 2011, but I'll believe it when I see it! More info about this can be found at: xxlmag.com.

On that note, here are two tracks that just recently leaked from the his"Detox" album. The first one features Akon & Snoop Dogg and the beat is fire (the way Dre uses the piano is siiik). The second features Eminem and sounds aiite (Em's verses are pretty deep though).

Dr. Dre - Kush featuring Snoop Dogg & Akon [**REMOVED]

Eminem - I Need A Doctor featuring Dr. Dre & Liz Rodrigues [**REMOVED]

FYI, these probably aren't the final versions of the songs as I'm sure Dre's gonna make some finishing touches to them. With that, should we believe "Detox" is actually coming?

----------------------- **REPOST:

Sorry everyone, but this post was taken down earlier because of the audio links (so lame). Well to make up for the loss of music (which I'm sure you can find elsewhere), here's a behind the scene look of the making of Dr. Dre's music video for the new song "Kush" featuring Akon & Snoop Dogg [Not suitable for everyone]:


- The music video was shot this past weekend in Downtown LA (Location: Unknown) with appearances from 50 Cent, E-40, and more

I'm pretty sure Dr. Dre is finally serious about releasing the "Detox" album, so we'll have to wait and see what else comes out in the next month or so.

Day 37: Eminem interview with Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes (Video)

I saw a very interesting segment last night on the show "60 Minutes" where Anderson Cooper interviews Eminem, and talks about various parts of Em's life from his experiences as a teen in Detroit to his sober comeback to the top of the hip-hop world again. I love the part about how Em breaks down his own science about creating rhymes by bending and annunciating words in a way to make "un-rhymable" words rhyme (ex. orange).

I am a huge Eminem fan and if you are too then you gotta check out this clip:



Go cop Em's recent album, Recovery, if you haven't already. The album is dope.

Day 29.5: Eminem + Lil Wayne = Greatness (Videos)

- Alt Audio Link

For all the Eminem & Lil Wayne fans, this music video of the song "No Love" just premiered today, which is off of Em's recent album, Recovery (A MUST HAVE SO GO COP IT!!). With Lil Wayne at his prime and Eminem's lyrical talent, both combined makes this such an awesome track. Seriously two of the most hard working & skilled rappers of our generation.

On a similar note, they've teamed up before on a track a while back called "Drop the World" which was featured on Lil Wayne's album called Rebirth. This song is also really dope so in case you haven't heard it, check it out below:

Day 17: Wish I coulda been in NY to see Jay-Z & Eminem (Videos)

9/13-9/14 (2010): This date marked the first-ever concert @ the new Yankee Stadium, but sadly the end of the "Home & Home" tour featuring Jay-Z & Eminem. After reading a lot of reviews about the show, it sounded like it was EPIC! Not only were they rockin it in the Bronx (considered the birthplace of rap to some), but there were also guest appearances from Young Jeezy, Kanye West, Beyoncé, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, D12, B.o.B., and some others. I don't think we'll ever see another concert with all those top artists in the same building ever again, so I envy all of you who got to experience that memorable concert.


For those of us who didn't get to see it live, I found some videos from the show:


Jay-Z performs "Renegade" with Eminem and "Light Up" with Drake

Eminem performs with Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, and B.o.B.


Jay-Z brings out Kanye West & Nicki Minaj for "Power" Remix and "Monster"



EPIC...

Day 14: Sunday highlights - Football, MTV VMAs, Entourage Season Finale

Yesterday was full of exciting events and I want to recap all the fun in case you missed it:

Football - Week 1
Yesterday was the official start of week 1 (not counting the Thursday night game) as there was a lot of ups and downs in the NFL. The one downfall that crushed me was the SF 49ers losing horribly to the Seattle Seahawks. The SF offense missed some easy opportunities for TDs and the defense just fell apart in the 2nd half of the game. No worries though as I'm confident they will bounce back (this was a fluke, trust me). You don't want to mess with Patrick Willis:

2010 MTV Video Music Awards
Overall, this was a very well set up award show. The stage design was awesome as it had a futuristic look with graphics on the floors, walls, and all over the background. I also thought they did a good job "going outside the box" (literally) by having a few performances outside the main award show and in different part of Los Angeles. In case you missed it, I have videos of some of the performances:

Usher


Drake ft. Mary J Blige & Swizz Beatz


Kanye West  ft. Pusha T



Entourage - Season Finale
I don't want to spoil this, but let's say everything gets twisted & crazy in this season finale. Eminem has a cameo at the end and gets in it at the end with Vince. Check out the whole episode here:



If you don't have time for that then check out the Eminem scene here:

Day 12: MTV 2010 VMAs live this Sunday (All Promo Videos)

Aside from football, I'll definitely be watching the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards this weekend, which will be airing live at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, CA this Sunday, 9/12, beginning at 9PM EST (6PM PST).
