Eminem And 50 Cent Deliver Knockouts At American Music Awards

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:01:11 +0000

The two hip-hop heavyweights share the AMA stage. By James Montgomery Eminem performs at the American Music Awards on Sunday Photo: ABC/ Dick Clark Productions Emimen strode out onto the American Music Awards' stage on Sunday night (November 22), looking very much like a prizefighter ready to deliver a knockout. "In this corner, weighing 175 pounds, with a record of 17 rapes, 400 assaults and four murders," Em shouted, channeling his inner Michael Buffer, "The most diabolical human in the world ... Slim Shady." He then launched headlong into a hulking version of "Crack a Bottle," delivering lines like body blows, bobbing and weaving across the stage, his face covered by a hood. Em spit with fire and hunger, and the crowd nodded their heads with the beat and went nuts when Em welcomed a very special guest to the stage: none other than another heavyweight brawler, 50 Cent . The two exchanged daps in the middle of the stage and then 50 got to work on his ...

Eminem To Re-Release Relapse In December

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:25:54 +0000

Relapse: The Refill will reportedly include five new songs. By Shaheem Reid Eminem's <i>Relapse</i> Photo: Interscope Records Eminem is a man of his word. He promised fans he would drop off two doses of music this year, and it looks like it's happening. On December 21, the rhyme legend is putting out a new version of his Relapse LP, subtitled The Refill, according to RapRadar.com . It will include five brand-new songs as well as the hit "Forever" and "Taking My Ball," which was featured on the Eminem/ Jay-Z "Renegade Edition" of "DJ Hero." And Slim Shady said this is just a taste of what's to come. "I want to deliver more material for the fans this year like I originally planned," Em told the Web site.

Drake, Kid Cudi, Wale Named 'Gangsta Killers Of The Year' By GQ

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:20:00 +0000

The magazine praises the MCs for their wit and focus on 'real life' in Men of the Year issue. By Steven Roberts Drake Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images As we predicted back in January, Wale , Kid Cudi and Drake have had a huge impact on hip-hop this year. They've not only built a buzz for themselves, but they've found themselves standing alongside the likes of Jay-Z , Eminem , Kanye West and 50 Cent . And, as GQ magazine points out, they've helped to quell hip-hop's gangster persona and usher in a real-life focus. The three MCs are featured in the GQ 's Men of the Year issue in an article titled "Gangsta Killers." "Anybody from Cleveland will tell you, I wasn't in the street," Kid Cudi said. "Ask them, they'll say, 'Scotty was the goofy class clown.' " The article points out the contrast between songs about "duct-taped kilos, exotic firearms, and freaky girls" and the lyrics of this up-and-coming generation of rappers. Cudi's introspective raps have ...

50 Cent Says Eminem's Success Is 'Something To Work To'

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:52:00 +0000

'This is what keeps me down to Earth and working,' Fif says of his 'Psycho' collaborator. By Shaheem Reid 50 Cent Photo: MTV News 50 Cent says "Psycho," from his new Before I Self Destruct album, is totally different from "Patiently Waiting," even though the tracks feature the same collaborator, more or less. "Well, 'Patiently Waiting' I perform with Eminem. On ['Psycho'], off of Before I Self Destruct, is 50 Cent and Slim Shady," he explained. "He has an alter ego, and he has a comfort with doing things [that] are the craziest things possible. That's when the chainsaw comes out. He starts going nuts on you. I wanted him to be able to go to that space, so I worked the chorus and he heard the chorus and he's like, 'Yo, I like that.' I actually recorded ['Psycho'] in Las Vegas. Dre produced the track, we had a bunch of producers out there, and I went and laid the first verse. [Em] came and he heard it and he was like, 'Yo, I'm ready.' Wrote his verse, laid it. And then ...

Eminem's Music Helps Wrestler Ted DiBiase Jr. Get Angry

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:52:00 +0000

Plus: Chamillionaire's February album features a Pimp C-produced track, in Mixtape Daily. By Shaheem Reid Ted DiBiase Photo: MTV News Celebrity Favorites You have to know the name "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase. In the '80s, he rose to fame in the World Wrestling Federation as one of the greatest villains ever, flaunting his riches so openly, his stunting makes the Birdman looks shy. Two decades later, the DiBiase name is back atop the wrestling game. DiBiase's son, Ted Jr., is part of the WWE's top faction of bad guys, the Legacy (along with third-generation former champ Randy Orton and the son of Dusty Rhodes, Cody). On Sunday, the Legacy led their team into the Survivor Series — against Miami's own MVP, Kofi Kingston, Mark Henry and others — in an old-school elimination match. In December, young DiBiase stars in "The Marine 2," the sequel to the 2005 John Cena-starring flick. DiBiase isn't taking over Cena's role; he's a whole new ...

Exclusive: Hear Travis Barker's Remix Of Drake's 'Forever'

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:05:00 +0000

'It was a tough one, man,' Blink-182 drummer says of crafting his remix of the track featuring Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem. By James Montgomery Travis Barker Photo: Kristian Dowling/ Getty Images Travis Barker doesn't sleep. At all. Which is how he's able to keep cranking out remixes while simultaneously working on a new Blink-182 record, his own solo album, and rehearsing for an upcoming show with none other than Slash (a November 22 benefit for the Los Angeles Youth Network). And that's not even getting into his business ventures, or his role as a rock-and-roll dad. "Yeah, I wake up at 6," he laughed. "I'm a busy man, I guess." Seriously, the guy never rests. And as if you need further proof of this, check out his brand-new remix of Drake's "Forever," which Barker emailed to MTV News Wednesday (November 11) morning. It's just the latest in a long line of hip hop tracks he's remixed (earlier this year, he took a stab at Eminem's gory "3 A.M." and his take ...
