Video: Eminem’s Banned “Relapse” TV Commercial

They say “banned.” I say “it’s cheaper and easier to put a clip like this on the net to let it spread viral way.” Banned seems like a stretch because it’s only Em sitting in a tub of V8 and I’ve seen more blood on Grey’s Anatomy (Yo! Izzie lives). Nevertheless...

Who’s Still Excited For Eminem’s Relapse?

Remember when “My Name Is” came out and the Hip-Hop world was shaken to the core by an actual White rapper displaying lyrical ferocity like “Hi kids, do you like violence?/Wanna see me stick Nine Inch Nails through each one of my eyelids?” Remember how the hood was blasting that track on every...

50 Cent - “Shut Ur Bloodclot Mouth” (Produced By DJ Premier)

Another day, and yet another Curtis track. The ante is upped this time, as Premo provides a burst of energy causing Fif to shake the sluggish sound that’s plagued the other recent tracks. In an aside, I’d like to offer the following tidbits of advice to Interscope, Shady & Aftermath…

“Another One Bites The Dust…”

This isn’t just aimed at Obie. No he’s not the first and he’s damn sure not the last. The industry isn’t the NBA. So when you hear an artist boasting about their free agency, it’s never a good thing. I can never understand what certain artists look to accomplish by going...
