Rap Radar

Jay-Z has a big concert at Arizona Stadium tonight and according to this report, he’s makin’ a pretty penny. What a shocker! Anyways, I told dude today was a slow news day, so he sent me these photos. Courtesy of the Big Homie’s blackberry, so don’t get your eyes blurry trying to make sense of the words written by the hand that don’t write. Ha!

I hope somebody in desi has a flip cam.

XXL’s first Managing Editor (Oh, you didn’t know?) posted some pics of Gucci Mane’s video shoot for “She Got A Friend.” According to Info, the clip was shot at someone’s pad in Klan land (No Wu-Tang). More pics after the jump.

Who knew you could do so much shit on an iPhone? In the clip, some genius developed an application that allows him to get his Grandwizard Theodore on. His vid is a response to this. Man, this is like that scene out of Juice—minus Pac’s trigger happy ass, of course.

The blame game.

At the 2:54 mark, DeAndre claims to have “ended a lot of niggas careers.”

 My thoughts exactly.

Slut Monkey still strivin’ and survivin’. Stop bitchin’ about the Recession that shit’s depressin’. Ha!

Well, this is different. Ha!

In a first for the network, Cinemax exclusively debuts the latest, never before seen, uncensored music video from rap star Eminem, on Saturday, May 2 at 10pm ET/PT. The music video for “3 a.m.,” the third track to be released from Eminem’s forthcoming album, “Relapse,” was directed by Syndrome. The “3 a.m.” video will air just prior to Cinemax’s Saturday night pay television premiere of the horror film, The Strangers, starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman and will continue to air on the network throughout the month of May. 

Getcha DVR’s ready!

Too bad Asher didn’t get to go all in on this. Instead, he performed “I Love College” first. You don’t wanna see that, do you? Ha.

RR guest blogger Adam Aziz, goes in what he thinks Marshall’s return is gonna sound like based merely on the song titles. Pretty clever. And also speaks on the public demand for the album.

1. “Dr. West (Skit)” – 1:29

Wake up Mr. West, Mr. West? Could Kanye be leading off Eminem’s “Relapse” with a brief “Gay Fish” rendition? Nah…not likely. This will obviously be a “doctor” talking about Eminem’s need for prescription pills. I guarantee you it won’t be as exciting as “children should not partake in the listening of this album with laces in their shoes.”

2. “3am” – 5:20

We’ve heard this. I promise y’all…I’m REALLY trying to like this song…it isn’t working.

3. “My Mom” – 5:20

I can’t wait to hear this song. Why? Because if it’s actually about Eminem’s mom it might make “KIM” look like a church hymn. My favourite line from Eminem about his mom:

“which is it bitch Mrs. Briggs or Ms. Mathers?/It doesn’t matter, your attorney Fred Gibson’s a faggot.” The “Fred Gibson” portion of the lyric was actually edited out on the album version. You learn somethin’ new everyday.

4. “Insane” – 3:01

“Crazy insane or insane crazy? When I say Hussein you say Shady.” I assume this song will have some sort of frantic beat while Em rips the track to shreds. It’ll probably be a straight spitter…at least that’s my guess.

5. “Bagpipes From Baghdad” – 4:43

I think this song is gonna go one of two ways. It’ll either be a serious look at America’s current involvement in the wars around the globe…or it’s gonna be Eminem rapping in the Triumph The Insult Comic Dog voice over some quirky, cartoon’ish beat. I am REALLY looking forward to hearing this but I just have a bad feeling about the final results based on the title. Eminem’s off drugs, right? How the hell did he come up with that title then? haha.
