Eminem's new song off of the DJ Hero Renegade Edition bonus cd is going to premier on Shade 45 on Friday. It's called 'Taking My Ball'.

Also at the BET Hip Hop Awards there were 3 Ciphers, the final of the 3 had Mos Def, Black Thought, and Eminem. They all apparently killed it.

Can't wait to hear Eminem's new song. Hopefully Relapse 2 is released this year.

Don't know if anyone listens to them, but AOTP are releasing their third album next month. Its called The Unholy Terror. I personally can't wait to hear it.

Man, I f'n hate Bow Wow but he just got a fan for at least one day. He does a dead-on impression of both Wayne and 50:

Wayne was ill, but doing the whole interview-mode "I'ma stop being gangsta and try to sound smart by using the same multisyllabic words over and over again" 50 Cent had me dying. Anyone that's seen his interviews knows why this is too funny.

Live version is better:

Kinda funny that the live version is so energetic for such a "downbeat" song...

Listened to Relapse again driving home from work. Still one of (if not THE) sickest hip-hop albums of the year. Definitely beats out BP3, that's for damn sure.

I thought Relapse was one Em's darker album, i can't wait to here what he has in store for R2.

Finally got Cuban Linx 2. John John goes on bad on New Wu. Pisses anything Em does on Relapse IMO.



Sick tune

Eminem - Take My Ball
[YT]kUOurI2wu24[/YT]

It's a throwaway track from Relapse 1.

 

[Crook]

Tell me someone knew about this, because I sure as hell didn't. Lupe did a track for Twilight 2??

http://usershare.net/6q8iarj4udxj

It's apparently on the soundtrack. SMH Lupe. You not getting credit for this.

EDIT: Lupe explains the track:

Solar Midnite is my first commercial release that I actually produced as well as wrote. The New Moon team asked me if I could do a song specifically for the film. They invited me to an early screening of the unfinished film from which I pulled different elements that I thought would translate into a great song. I pulled in vocalist and bassist Graham Burris and acclaimed musician Matt Nelson to help fill it out my vision musically and "joila" Solar Midnite was born. The song basically deals with the chaotic love story that takes place between the characters. It's more on the rock side of my musical catalog and comes straight from my die hard fanhood of Red Hot Chili Peppers and Anthony Keidis, one of my FAVORITE RAPPERS.

 

[Fresh Prince]

Anybody getting Flammers 3?

 

[Wylie Times]

Ok.....I know I been out of the loop for a lil bit with work and relationships and such....but when did Joe Budden and the Wu start beefing?

Heard this on the radio the other day, def sounds like it would have fit in with Relapse 1.

Joe took issue to a top 50 MCs list Vibe (?) put out earlier in the year. He questioned people like Method Man being ranked above him, and asked people if they actually thought someone like Meth could keep up with him, bar for bar.

Raekwon eventually commented and you can follow the rest here..

Don't know what to say man, that site gets traffic in the thousands. Google or someone else would have flagged that site by now. It's more than likely a low-level security risk that your program is detecting, which is probably nothing.

 

[Manic]

I checked McAfee's report. It turns out they just link to a dangerous site.

"When we tested this site we found links to zangocash.com, which we found to be a distributor of downloads some people consider adware, spyware or other potentially unwanted programs."

Joe Budden is nice and all, but who the **** is he to be calling out anybody in the clan? I didn't even know about his till I heard that diss track Deck made (which was good for someone not known for being a battle rapper......still nowhere near as good as pushing buddens though).

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Joe Budden seriously thinks he is better than John John? That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.

 

[Crook]

No, he's saying that now, lyrically and flow-wise he's better than any of the Wu members.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Well I'd still disagree with that. Sure they ain't as good as they were, but their "ain't as good as they were" is still better than most rappers out there today.

I mean Cuban Linx 2 is brilliant. Some of the **** Raekwon, Ghost Face, Masta Killer and Meth spit on that is right up there with their old school ****.

Lyrically he can't touch anybody in the Wu.....well maybe Cappadonna, but he don't really count....He does have a better flow than Gza though. If Gza's flow was better people would be saying he's better than Rakim.

Notice how Budden makes it a habit to run his mouth about rappers he KNOWS aren't known for battling?

 

[KenK]

Joe thinking he's better than Meth is just laughable. It's a shame 'cause I was a big Joe Budden supporter when he first came out. He was definitely puttin' a few cats on notice when he started, in my opinion, but hasn't been all that live lately. And most would agree that he's the weakest MC on Slaughterhouse.

To say nothing of the fact that we've had three on-point releases from Wu members this year that more people were feelin' than anything Joe's put out on his own recently.

Yeah, I'd agree with that.

Ya'll chase zeros
Mah****a I just got finished hatin' me
Feelin' like a zero
They played De Niro
Never been there, though'

My 10 year old niece is a better rapper than U-God and Masta Killa.
