May 19th: World Premiere Edition

 3am-rapradar.com

Although Eminem’s new album drops weeks from now, tomorrow, he’s premiering his video “3.A.M.” on Cinemax. But Marshall isn’t the only act hitting the display racks on May 19th. In fact, five of his peers are coming out the same day too. And of course, their videos are sure to follow. So, instead of the traditional 106 debut, we thought of some other networks where they could premiere them. Check your local listings.

Guru: 8.0 Lost and Found – History Channel
Guru’s been in the game for years. And what better way to show your stripes than on a network dedicated to all things of yesteryear.  

Fat Joe: J.O.S.E. 2– Univision
Joe could really hit his target demographic if he premiered the video for his second single here. “Sabado Gigante” ain’t poppin’ like it used to.

Redman & Method Man
: Black Out 2– AMC
Reggie and Clifford are hip-hop originals. So what better way to validate your spot than after a Humphrey Bogart flick?

DJ Drama: Gangsta Grillz The Album Vol. 2– Fox News
Two years ago, the Feds cam after Dram on racketeering charges. And what better way to stick it to the man than on Bill O’Reilly’s home turf.  We got dirt on you doggy!

Busta Rhymes
: Back On My Bullshit- BET
Fuck it, if it ain’t broke…

Here’s the trailer for light skinned Jemaine’s upcoming mixtape, The Warm Up. It’s funny watching him spaz like those old Sprite commericals.

Bonus: J.Cole goes one on one with Complex

“I used to go to Ohhla.com and print out Canibus raps and tape ‘em to my wall, Eminem raps, and tape ‘em to

my wall. I used to just study these shits. Like if I was bored, I’m

looking at the wall, reading along, just look how they break down their

raps.”

Asher Roth Responds To Racist Accusations

 asherandbeans-rapradar.com

Today, Asher released a statement regarding this whole fiasco.

“The twitter situation was an immature attempt to poke fun at an infamously moronic joke. In doing so, I unconsciously stooped to the level of its originator, making it just as bad, if not worse. Pathetic. Lesson learned – nothing good can come from repeating hateful words, regardless of your intentions. Leaving no context in what was being said and being presented through text (no facial or vocal inflection) the sarcasm of the joke (or lack there of) was not properly perceived and left it purely in bad taste. I immediately apologized for my immaturity but the apologies and original post were deleted by my team in an effort to prevent more people from being offended. Unfortunately, the deletion of these statements led several people to believe that my apology was insincere, which is why I have made the decision to release this statement.”

Thank you, Mr. Roth. Now, back to regularly scheduled programming. 

Cam’Ron Will Interior Decorate Your Walls

Pardon the headline B, but in the current issue of Vibe, Killa tells Jon Caramanica about his new side hustle: interior decorating. 

“Recently, Cam’Ron was considering putting his Lodi home on the market-his primary residence is a five-mile skip away in Fort Lee, N.J.-and invited real estate agents to tour the place. Here again, Cam’Ron stumbled onto a new hustle: One of them was impressed enough with his taste to want to business. ‘He called me and wanted to pay me to interior decorate,’ Cam says, incredulous. “That shit bugged me out. So I did one job for about $50 K. I had a $100K budget and it turned out great, so [now] they always call me to do stuff like that. But I’m like, That’s some shit I’ll do when I retire, son.”
