“You’re lucky Kimmel only rhymes with nimble, symbol and thimble… I was nimble, stuck a symbol up his ass and a thimble… You might get it, buddy.”
Last night, Em and 200 of his laid-off autoworker pals visited Jimmy Kimmel for a sitdown. Topped off with another performance of “We Made You” after the jump.

This is pretty surreal. I hope it wasn’t Aries Spears pullin’ a gag. Ha!

During his UK media blitz, Slim Shady sat down with one of the biggest shows out there, Friday Night With Jonathan Ross. He also performs “We Made You” with Kon Artis as his hype man.
In my humble opinion, this is the only listenable song off this legendary group’s latest project with Nike. It’s not always about postin’ music—just because it’s new. At Rap Radar, we occasionally put up new music we personally co-sign. You might wanna try that sometime.

New York interviews Nasir’s ol’ man, Olu Dara. Father always knows best.
He also raps about you, most notably on “Poppa Was a Player.”
Oh, I heard that in the street one day. Years ago, I was walking down
the street, and I heard his voice, and I asked the guys on the stoop,
who is that? They said, that’s Nas! Looking at me like an old man, ‘you
don’t know about this shit.’ They said, ‘he’s talking about his father
Olu.’ And they kept listening. I said, ‘I’m Olu.’ And they looked at me
like, ‘get the hell out of here.’

Where do I get my footage? None of your biz. Don’t watch TV. Watch YNTV. On your computer screen!
Jason told the 1515 Boys that he plans to call his fourth album, Top Five, Dead or Alive. Take that, Mr. Budden! Plus, he only wants to work exclusively with certain producers.
“I’m definitely going back in,” the Yonkers native said. “The D-Block album is wrapped up. I’mma make sure we finish this LOX album, and I’m coming right back at the end of the year. I think I’m gonna call it Top Five, Dead or Alive.
I’m only gonna work with Primo [DJ Premier], Alchemist, Swizz Beatz,
Dame Grease, sh– like that. Have a couple of South [producers], and
that’s it. Wham!”

One of my favorite blogger/vloggers weighs in on Marshall Mathers’ love for polysyllabic words. You know who my partner is, but if you don’t like Relapse you’re lying to yourself. Ha!
But I’ll let Billy Sunday DP tell it.
“Eminem’s latest album ‘Relapse’ is fantastic for it’s graphic gory content. This album is part of the great history of epic entertaining horror-core productions. This album is rap’s ‘Nightmare On Elm Street’. It is horrific, disgusting, profane, satirical and brilliant all at the same time. Lyrically, I consider this to be on a classic level. If the beats by Dr. Dre were swapped out for some of the dark production of DOOM, or more appropriately RZA, this album would be a certified classic. This drop though is to discuss the lyrical eminence of Eminem. A reader stated that this album was garbage. I don’t believe that reader listened to this album or if he did his ability to judge art is negligible.”
Read all about it.
See ya in the D next Tues. Ha! Confession: I never met Eminem. And I’m gonna try my best to keep it that way.
That blog post perfectly captured the raw intensity of Joell Ortiz’s performance at Guz Sports Bar! His delivery of Battle Cry was absolutely electric, making the whole room feel like it was vibrating with pure, unfiltered energy. It reminded me of those high-stakes moments during a intense word guessing game with friends where the pressure is on and every single syllable counts. Seeing such a lyrical powerhouse perform in such an intimate, gritty setting was a legendary experience. If you weren't there, you truly missed out on some masterful storytelling. I'm still buzzing from that incredible night of hip-hop excellence!
