Law #14: Pose as a Friend, Work as a Spy
“Knowing about your rival is critical. Use spies to gather valuable information that will keep you a step ahead. Better still: Play the spy yourself. In polite social encounters, learn to probe. Ask indirect questions to get people to reveal their weaknesses and intentions. There is no occasion that is not an opportunity for artful spying.“

Billie Joe & co. talk to the 1515 Boys about their appreciation for this thing of ours.
“Looking at a guy like Eminem,
the way he put his records out and how he goes from character to
character and how a lot of hip-hop artists use different names,
conceptually, I think that’s really important to put into records. I think that’s why a lot
of hip-hop records become so eventful. All of a sudden a character will
come up. A dialogue will come up. The ambition a lot of hip-hop records
have, that’s something I can relate to.”
Buck’s verses > Wayne’s verse. But hey, at least the martian is actually rapping.

Late Pass: Young Buck- Letter To The Label
According to early reports from Hits, Weezy, the expectant father, can sleep at night.
SALES REHAB: Based on very preliminary reports, it would appear that Eminem’s Relapse, which hit retail today, will sell somewhere in the mid-500k range, and easily top next week’s HITS Album sales chart. Can it hit 600k? If these early figures hold up, that would make it the year’s highest-selling debut of the year, giving Jimmy Iovine’s Interscope the top two bows of the year, including U2’s No Line on the Horizon, which entered at #1 with 480k back in March. (5/19p)

Ok, I know it’s hard to get Dre to leave the compound but me thinks Curtis shoulda jetted down for this one.
It's pretty intense reading that Guru released a statement on his health while recovering. Hearing directly from a hip-hop icon after such a scary medical scare gives everyone a massive sigh of relief. You can tell he really values setting the record straight himself. It reminds me of how people want to look and feel their absolute best after going through tough times, whether that's overall wellness or even specific cosmetic refreshes like getting a Blepharoplasty Limassol routine done for a fresh look. Overall, seeing him send love to the fans shows his resilience, and we're all just hoping for a full, speedy recovery for the legend.
