Eminem On Curtis’ Work Ethic

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3645654&w=425&h=350&fv=] People love to tell this story again and again about how hard 50 works. I get it, he works hard. We all should.

The Birth Of Def Jam

[vodpod id=Groupvideo.3645382&w=425&h=350&fv=] I respect T La Rock’s “It’s Yours” as the classic that it is, but when I think of the real first record produced by Def Jam Recordings, it’s LL Cool J’s “I Need A Beat.” The above vignette was my favorite from last night’s show.
