“Crime Wave” - Review Of 50 Cent’s Before I Self Destruct

It’s been a long yet lucrative road to the release of Before I Self Destruct, 50 Cent’s much documented final record on his Interscope contract. Possibly the genre’s last mega-star before Hip-Hop was regressed by the digital age, 50 saw endless mounds of success through business ventures,...

The Pharmacy…

Since we all secretly await any news with “Eminem” and “release date” in the tagline, I thought it’d only be right to share that Relapse: Refill drops December 22nd. No, untangle your panties, it’s not a new album. Instead, Interscope decided to re-release Relapse...

50 Cent Feat. Eminem - “Psycho” (Prod. By Dr. Dre)

Oh, Fifty. You got your life so right and your bars so wrong. We haven’t heard you spit anything but cheap shots in months years, but now you’re trying to claim insane daisy-chained double-time rhymes like this? Really? I know you could sell fur coats to people at PETA, but I ain’t...

“Forget That Chart Man, Hit With Your Art”

I was planning on settling down last night and catching the BET Hip-Hop Awards, but it didn’t feel right since they slighted us and, more importantly, Contra™ in his own backyard.  But while out making moves, I realized I really only wanted to see the ciphers any way and save watching the actual...

Eminem - “Taking My Ball”

Look ma! Eminem’s so (not) hot this year, he’s got his own video game!!! To be perfectly honest, this is the type of cutting room material you’d expect to appear on video games. A couple of nice, zany couplets here and there, but nothing worth really salvaging for Relapse 2.

Video: VH1’s 50 Cent Behind The Music

Probably the most enticing quality of 50 Cent’s Behind The Music special is its lack of pitfall. Where VH1’s storied series is renown for going into depth of the industry’s biggest stars and their descension, as well as their triumphs, Curtis Jackson really can’t count his losses...

Why Isn’t Eminem In The Top 10 Of MTV’s Hottest MCs?

Well isn’t this convenient. Just as MTV’s much maligned list of the hottest MC’s for 2009 was ending it’s buzz cycle, they decided to try and breathe life into by justifying why Eminem wasn’t included. So Shyheim Reid was given the envious job of quelling the disgruntled...

“What’s Your Favorite Scary Movie?”

I decided to brave the ill-travelled paths of my iPod before I took it down last night. I checked my Eminem discog and found “Scary Movies” tucked away under Relapse. So naturally I clicked on it and zoned out.

Yep, He’s Still Got It…

Point blank, when he wants to be, Eminem could very well be the best rapper alive. No disrespect to Jay. No disrespect to Nas. No disrespect to Andre 3000. No disrespect to Weezy. Hell, no disrespect to any artist who believes they hold the crown. But, as always, I’ll call a spade a spade when...

Two Timin’…

Instead of the normal bickering and love triangles Illseed usually shares over in AHH’s rumor mill, recently he acknowledged a mishap I’m extremely surprised no one else noticed yet.

“Gangsta Sh#t…” - André 3000’s 5 Hardest Verses

I had the misfortune of catching Eminem’s best friend’s show, Wild N’ Out, a few days ago and Big Boi was a guest host. One of the comedians asked Big how it felt to share a stage with someone sporting a pointy bra. Yea, it was funny, but Big shot back a simple response about how Dré would probably...
