Eminem Named Number #9 Man Of 2009
The (formerly) Blond Bomber returned in 2009 with Relapse, his first album in nearly five years, but if he was rusty, it certainly didn’t show. Eminem sold a million-plus, put the entire industry on blast, feuded with his fellow MCs and reestablished himself as one of the biggest names in the game. It was just like old times. Along the way, he also managed to stir up a whole kettle of controversy, get mauled by a fictional German TV personality and make a cameo in a Judd Apatow flick. All of which made 2009 a very big year for Mr. Mathers.
2009 Highlights: Well, for starters, there was Relapse, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard albums chart in May, with sales of more than 608,000 copies, the year’s biggest bow (until Susan Boyle dethroned him in December). But in the months leading up to the album, Em hyped it with big-name collaborations (”Crack a Bottle,” which featured his old running mates 50 Cent and Dr. Dre) and videos that saw him revisiting his trash-talking ways (the now-infamous “We Made You” video, which slammed the likes of Jessica Simpson, Sarah Palin and a whole lot of other folks).
That, of course, of course, was followed by a public spat with Mariah Carey and her husband Nick Cannon. (He paid for his transgressions by being symbolically run over by a bus in Carey’s “Obsessed” video.) He then met the wrong end of Brüno at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, in an incident he would later refer to as a “gag.”
There were the controversies, too. “We Made You” got Bill O’Reilly all hot and bothered, and as the year drew to a close, Em was getting heat for perceived anti-gay lyrics in a new song, “Elevator,” which took aim at the likes of Adam Lambert and Clay Aiken.
But 2009 will be remembered as the year Eminem returned to prominence. Relapse was a smash, and songs like the gory “3 a.m.” and the somber “Beautiful” earned him critical acclaim. His verse on Drake’s “Forever” arguably outshined the likes of Kanye West and Lil Wayne. He was nominated for four MTV Video Music Awards, second only to Lady Gaga and Beyoncé, and won Best Hip-Hop Video. And as ‘09 drew to a close, he was touting a re-issue of Relapse. He capped things off by being named the best-selling artist of the decade by Nielsen SoundScan, having sold more than 32 million albums in the ’00s.
He also joined Jay-Z for a surprise performance at the party announcing their “DJ Hero” game. … Was lightheartedly accused of cheating at Pac-Man by Fif. … Channeled Rain Man in the “We Made You” video. … Inducted heroes Run-DMC into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. … Promised to reunite D12 for a new album. … And made a cameo in Judd Apatow’s “Funny People.”

Freeway To Release Eminem Tribute Mixtape
State Property's own Freeway has announced plans to release a new mixtape called Freelapse, which he says will pay homage and tribute to Eminem and his recent Relapse album. According to Freeway, the motivation to make the project came from a freestyle by Slim Shady himself, he explained in a recent interview.
"Im dropping the Freelapse, its a tribute to Eminem using all of his beats. What happened was Em did a freestyle and he was like 'I disappeared I was hiding in Freeway's beard,' so I sampled that, made it a hook, and used it for a song. After that, I came up with the idea. Eminem is a talented emcee, he's got a lot of hot beats, and another artist would probably be scared to rap to his beat because he's murdered every beat. So I felt that it was a challenge for me to try and live up to the expectation."

Mr. Porter and Just Blaze Talk About Relapse 2
In an exclusive interview with AllHipHop.com, the heavyweight producers Denaun Porter (Mr. Porter) and Just Blaze detailed how their production relationship with Eminem has grown since their work on the superstar’s debut album, Infinite.
“Man, now? It’s so much more fun. It was easy for us to go back to that time,” Porter told. “This will be the first time I’m producing songs for Em under me without D12 [since Infinite]. That’s big for me. I can’t let the cat out the bag yet, but one of the songs is told as if we were back in the day.”
While many fans argue rapper’s earlier work are usually stronger because they are hungry for success, Mr. Porter feels Eminem’s quality has improved with his superstardom.
“It’s no fun when you’re broke,” he stated. “We were trying to do Infinite like we had more money when we didn’t have any. We were trying to get to a certain point, but now he’s got it. The reason he’s good is not because being white worked to his advantage. It did a little at first, but all day everyday the kid is writing. I don’t know if Jay-Z is writing all day. He owns multi-million dollar businesses. Em writes all day. Jay probably comes up with lines [and] that make him one of the greatest. I’m fighting, because Just Blaze came in and kicked ass.”
After leaking Jay Electronica’s “Exhibit C” and a Nas snippet last week, Just Blaze has renewed attention on what other tracks he has in the vaults, and what he’s developed for Relapse 2.
Due to their protective natures, Blaze revealed that his time with Eminem has been challenging despite their creative highs.
“It’s a challenge for both of us in the sense we’ve never worked with each other before. We’ve both been in the business 10 plus years,” Just Blaze explains. “We’re both very self-contained. He has his own production compound, and I have my situation with Bassline Studios in New York. Sometimes I’m like I need this [song] back in New York and he’s like I need it back in Detroit. It’s interesting because we’re both protective of the work and not wanting it to leak out. I’m in the same boat, because we both would lose money. Creatively it’s a good process. When it goes beyond a business arrangement, it always works out. I’ve had cases where people just want a beat because you’re Just Blaze. But here we are 2 people that are fans of each other’s work.”

Video: 50 Talks About BISD
via MTV
50 said that just because he's got a song with a crooning chorus doesn't mean he's abandoned a street edge for his upcoming Before I Self Destruct LP.
"Not particularly his song, but the entire project... I meant for it to be a little harder and what I fell in love with about hip-hop and within hip-hop," Fif said on the song's video set Saturday. "I accomplished it. Before I Self Destruct is absolutely harder than Get Rich or Die Tryin' or other projects in between. The Massacre had some real aggressive content on it, but there were other things I wanted to do, like 'Ryder Music', 'Baltimore Love Thing', 'Build You Up', featuring Jamie Foxx. This project [Before I Self Destruct], I kept all of those things out of it. I just made it what I wanted it to be. This album is my album right now. It's like the prequel to Get Rich- the things I missed on that project."

Beats365: The Solution?
Via : GoArticles.com
Article: http://www.goarticles.com/cgi-bin/showa.cgi?C=2085728
"With so many music production and beat making programs out on the web today who knows what programs are good and which programs are trash anymore. Most "beat-sites" have a monthly fee or charge by the song and to be honest, most of the material is lack-luster and disappointing. Some of them are even just selling stolen beats or beats they have no rights over, which is a complete waste of your time and money!
After trying more then 2 handfuls of programs and services, I found most left me unfulfilled and wanting more for my money. Beats 365 did not however. There is a plethora of sounds, instrumentals, and beats from 39 different styles to choose from and and new material is added daily! With the existing tracks and the amount of great beats and sounds constantly being added, the amount of fresh, royalty-free material offered definitely isn't lacking.
In Conclusion: Compared to Beats365, the competition seems to come up short in every way. With Beats365 there is no fee per song or month and semi-daily updates of good, usable material. Which, according to the website gives you 100,000+ beats right at your finger tips. I would recommend Beats365 to anyone in the market for any amount great beats, whether it be a single instrumental or a mixtape's worth of material."Website : Beats365.com

Video: Dr. Dre Invites Jay-Z To Rap On Detox
via MTV
Songs that leaked from Dr. Dre’s Detox recording sessions earlier this year revealed that Nas and R. Kelly are among the artists in consideration to appear on the long-awaited opus. And T.I., Lil Wayne and Drake are among the MCs believed to be ghost-writing for the album.
But if Dre gets his way, a certain renowned Brooklyn rhymesmith will be pulling double-duty on Detox, both writing and delivering a guest verse.
“Well, actually, Jay-Z’s just been in the studio doing some writing,” Dre told MTV News on Friday while promoting his new Beats By Dre/HP notebook collaboration. “Hopefully I’ll get him to perform on the record. Jay, come holler!”
Detox is the follow-up to Dre’s 2001 album and will complete the trilogy that began with 1992’s The Chronic.
In May, a snippet of a Detox track was released on a Dr. Pepper commercial that features Dre. The song, tentatively titled “Shit Popped Off,” features production similar to a track that leaked in February with Tip referring Dre’s vocals. “It’s the D.R. … Made the West side worldwide, no PR/ Gangsta-rap God, I’m the end-all, be-all/ California love from the Bloods to the C-Dogs.”
Earlier this month, Dre told ABC News Dre revealed he’d like to finally put the finishing touches on Detox by the end of this year in time for a 2010 release. “Hopefully, I’ll get it done at the end of this year, and we can hear it next year,” the normally press-shy producer said.

Eminem Speaks On Relapse 2
If Relapse marked the return of Slim Shady and his outrageous rhymes, then the sequel is shaping up to be Marshall Mathers' turn back in the spotlight.
In an interview on his Shade 45 satellite-radio station Tuesday night, Eminem explained the concept behind the forthcoming Relapse 2.
"[The album] is gonna be a lot different than people expect," Eminem told DJ Tony Touch. "As far as the contrast from the last album to this one, I got a couple of tracks with [D12's] Mr. Porter, two tracks with him so far. Four, possibly five with Just Blaze. The overall basis of this record, I went back to songs that are more emotionally driven. The last record I made, I think I was concentrating more on spitting. On this album, I feel like there's some of that, but I went back to songs with [feelings] to them as opposed to just rap records."
During the recording of Relapse, Eminem admitted he suffered from writer's block at times, and to return to form, he revisited his earlier style of rhyme that helped him earn his alter ego. Songs like "Insane" and "Underground" showcased his rapid-fire flow and outrageous lines. "Dre, I'm down here, under the ground, dig me up/ Broken tibias, fibias, yeah, fix me up," he rapped on "Underground."
"I had to get it all out of my system," Em said of the lyrical urgency behind Relapse. "I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it again."
Once the Detroit MC broke free from his struggles with the pen, he went on to record three albums' worth of material. He and his camp decided to whittle the songs down to two projects. In April, the rapper announced that Relapse 2 was done before the first one even arrived. He said during the mixing process, new tracks might be added.
Recently, he's raised his profile with a guest verse on Drake's "Forever," also featuring Kanye West and Lil Wayne. His standout turn on the track increased anticipation for his next album. On "Forever," Eminem hearkened back to the "8 Mile" style that endeared him to fans with his personal tales.
The focus on polishing the second album, though, has consumed Eminem so much that he's only made scattered appearances since Relapse debuted in May. Once Relapse 2 arrives, tentatively later this year, Eminem said he'll decide then whether to go on tour.
"During the process of me getting sober and starting to record again like I used to, I got so excited about making music again that I wanted to concentrate [just] on that," he said. "I started recording so many records that we thought about putting out two albums. Then that became my motivation. I wanted to stay grinding and keep making music. But the time I got engulfed in [Relapse 2], it just kind of worked out this way, where I wanted to fall back from live performances for right now and concentrate on making the best music I could make. After this record comes out, we'll see what happens from there."

Lil Wayne and JD speak on Eminem's Absence From Hottest MC List
Lil Wayne - "Eminem [is not on the list]? Who else is on the list? Gucci who? Gucci Mane? Gucci Mane was on the list and Eminem wasn't on it? [laughs] Shout-out my n*gga Gucci," Wayne told Tim Westwood. Reacting to Jay-Z being number one, Lil Wayne joked around. "Uhm, who's number one?," Wayne asked radio personality Tim Westwood in an interview. "Jay-Z? Nah, that's cool [me being at number two.] That's cool. That's okay, I thought Drake was gonna be number one."
JD (aka Jermaine Dupre) took to his blog last week to talk about Eminem being left out. "TODAYS QUESTION IS ABOUT THE MTV HOT MCs LIST. MY QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT EMINEM NOT MAKING IT? I PERSONALLY THINK THE LIST JUST LOST ITS CREDIBILITY BY NOT INCLUDING HIM. NOT ONLY DID HE MAKE A ALBUM THIS YEAR BUT THAT ALBUM OUT SOLD 75 PERCENT OF EVERYBODY ON THE LIST .SERGE WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO ME THE LIST AND WHY THIS HAPPENED BUT TO ME THIS IS WHY SO MANY PEOPLE KEEP SAYING HIPHOP IS DEAD," JD wrote.

Joe Budden Talks About Shady/Slaughterhouse Deal
In a recent interview, Joe Budden discussed the rumor's of Slaughterhouse signing to Shady Records and more .
“I don’t know what you mean ’speak on it,’ [laughs] I hope it happens!,” Budden told radio personality Jessie Maguire in an interview. “I would be happy, happy as could be. [laughs] No man, the rumors have been going around and it seems to be the number one question as far as Slaughterhouse goes, like I said, I’m hopeful that it will happen. I would like for it to happen, uhm, but is it a definite? Is it confirmed? Is it 100 percent in stone? No, not at all. I mean, until that happens, I been in this industry a long time, and I’m sure aspiring artists can attain to this also, a lot of people make promises and a lot of people sell you dreams and often at times, things look extremely hopeful and they turn out to be the exact opposite. So I’ve learned to prepare for the worst and expect the best. But I certainly hope it takes place. I hope it goes down, I think a move like that would be a monument for hip-hop and not only that, there seems to be a lot of artists getting with that whole unity thing, instead of destroying one another.”

Jay-Z's Acceptance Speech
Jay-Z was named 'Hottest MC' and recently wrote a letter to MTV News, reacting to his latest accolade of Hottest MC in the Game.
“MTV, Thanx for this nod of appreciation,” Jay wrote. “Although I don’t strive to be ‘hot’ for any particular year, I thank you for the acknowledgment. My whole goal is to be recognized as the best ever. I created the term ‘best rapper alive’ as a sign of respect to my fallen comrades (Biggie and Tupac). I believe I’ve allowed a significant grace period, and I believe I would not be respecting myself if being the absolute best was not my goal, and that’s why I continue to push myself until exhaustion … salute.
“Sidebar: Kanye moment if I may … Eminem?!?! I think you do the credibility of this list a disservice if you don’t thoroughly explain his omission,” Jay continued. “As of this second he has the highest selling rap album of the year and a scene stealing verse on the best ‘posse’ cut of the year . (*Hands mic back to Taylor Swift … and nobody was harmed, I apologize in advance.)”
Rick Ross, who finished at #5, said no one is more deserving of the top spot than Jay.
“I most definitely agree with Jay-Z being the Hottest MC,” Ross said. “He’s affected the top five directly or indirectly. He signed Kanye West. He signed me to Def Jam. He influenced Lil Wayne and co-signed Drake. Jay most definitely has had the biggest impact on the game and the culture.”
Ross was extremely pleased with his own ranking. “It’s an honor to be in the top five,” he said. “It’s a monumental moment. I remember always watching ‘Yo! MTV Raps’ and seeing Fab Five Freddy. The Hottest MCs list carries on in the tradition of representing real hip-hop. I think the list was great. Everybody on there is real competitive. It’s always great to get recognized for your accomplishments. Each year, I sit down and watch the debates and the rankings. MTV is really on point.”
On Sunday, Drake said being #3 was an extreme honor. “I’m at such an early stage in my career,” Drizzy said via phone. “I’m still learning from all these MCs that are on the list. Personally, I’m honored to be anywhere. There’s no number where I think I should be. I’m not gonna sit here and be like ‘3!’ It’s just an honor for MTV to even bring up my name. That’s crazy. That’s really crazy, man. That’s something to celebrate. We gotta celebrate tonight. I don’t mind being #3.”
MTV News explains why Eminem was not found at the Top 10 here.

Young Buck Says He Wasn't Dissing Eminem
A few days ago, a track by Young Buck released where he seemed to be dissing Eminem (Here). Young Buck apparently has come forward to clear things up about the track which starts with him saying "Eminem, we coming for your ass."
According to Young Buck, he was talking about the producer of the song, who is a white guy.
"Eminem is the homeboy, I'm a big big fan of Eminem, probably one of Eminem's biggest fans."

Whoo Kid Speaks on Eminem and Relapse 2
Old News...
but I'm still trying to play catch up with somethings..
“The comeback is crazy,” Whoo Kid said about Em’s return in May with Relapse. “What I really laughed at was the Mariah Carey [dis record]. That was funny. But that’s nothing compared to Relapse 2. What I heard, that’s just 2 percent [of the intensity]. Eminem from back in the day has returned. The crazy, lyrical, maniacal Eminem is back. Maniac!”
Whoo Kid said the difference between Relapse and Relapse 2 is the level of insanity.
“He was maniacal, but that was like, ‘Let me come back now. Let me get my sh– situated. Who I gotta go at? Let me see what’s going on. Let me get comfortable.’ Now that he’s comfortable, now he’s gonna be like [a monster] in Relapse 2. Good luck, people.”

Rumors Confirmed: Royce Speaks on Shady Records/Slaughterhouse Negotiations
“I’ve been talking to Em and Paul for a long time,” Royce added. “With this particular situation, things are falling into place. Everything is in place where it’s supposed to be. I’m very prepared [for] when the opportunity presented itself. It’s a time where there’s things they need over here and certain things we need in order to move over there. I think it’s a good marriage. Like I said, I just hope it can happen.”
One things for sure, if everything works out we can expect to hear some amazing tracks.
Lloyd Banks: Double Disc V5 Mixtape
MTV reports:
Lloyd Banks is back on the mixtape scene with a full two CDs at once — V5 is coming soon.
"V5 — this is my second double-disc this year," Banks said at his squad's Forever Young Day in Queens, New York. "This one I been working on. It's already done. I've been doing a few things on the side. I just did the 'Bandana' record with Maino and a few other things. I've just been working. That's been put in the cut; I'm hoping to do a couple of videos. I've always wanted to do those [with each mixtape project], but I'll get a call like 6, 7 in the morning saying I gotta go to Africa.
"But V5 on the way — it's gonna drop any day. Thirty songs. This one is the one, man," he added. "I been working so hard."
Banks was pleased to be featured in the recent Hottest MCs fan poll and is looking to see if he'll make the official list.
"I'm gonna show you why I was even brought up on the MTV list," Banks promised. "V5 is gonna speak for itself. Thirty records — it's going down."
Also, the only feature on the new mixtape is Tony Yayo.
"I kept it to me. They putting the pressure on me. They wanna see what I'mma do next, so I'm gonna knock them over the head and then gear up for my new album," Banks said.
"After I heard his mixtape, I went back to the drawing board," Yayo offered. "The stuff I'm hearing from these dudes, we hungry. It's like we ain't got no money, no cars, no girls. I just keep doing me. Sometimes Banks give me the energy, 50 give me the energy. Young Buck is gone, Banks is gone — they don't give me no energy. But the Unit, I believe Game said, 'Yo, we broke up the Beatles.' The Beatles is still here. This is the original format right here."
50 Cent Rushed to Hospital After Listening to Fat Joe's Album
"This afternoon while in his Manhattan offices, employees say that 50 Cent was listening to Fat Joe’s new album, “J.O.S.E. 2″ when all the sudden, he collapsed! An ambulance was called, and by the time they arrived, 50 Cent regained consciousness and was complaining of blurred vision and a severe migraine. 50 Cent was rushed to Mt. Sinai hospital at 4:26 pm.
Doctors say after performing a Cat Scan and EKG there seems to be some damage to his auditory cortex, which is the region of the brain that is responsible for processing sound."
