Eminem news

For a two-foot-tall hand puppet, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog sure has a lot of enemies. He's permanently banned from the Westminster Kennel Club, has feuded with the animal-rights group PETA, and — most prominently — engaged in a rather heated war of words with Eminem.

And as such, it was probably a bit of a shock to anyone who tuned in to 'TRL' last Thursday and saw the stogie-smoking pooch canoodling with Eminem (as only a puppet and a man can) in the video for 'Ass Like That,' the rapper's brand-new, booty-obsessed video.

The 'Anger Management Tour' hosted by Eminem is nearly happening out there in the States, but the rumor has it that tickets for 'Anger Management Tour' UK will be on sale within two weeks. The shows will be at Milton Keynes, Glasgow and more! Check back at Eminem.net for more.

According to a statement made by Jin, the Freestyle Fridays champ and Ruff Ryder MC Jin announced yesterday that he's putting his career on hold.

I would like to say best of luck to Jin, his unique style and battle superiority will always be remembered and appreciated. We are sorry to hear him leave, but if that's what he really needs then so be it.

Before you start hating, just keep in mindwhat Jin's accomplished. While he might have made some bad career moves, you can't say he's a wack MC. You just can't...

Jiggaman recently listed today's top lyricists in an interview with DJ Envy. Upon being asked what artists he respected lyrically, Hov replied, "I mean everybody is doing their thing. I guess that's a political answer. Nas, of course," Jay revealed before pausing and hesitantly adding, "50 Cent, Em, I forgot about Em." Envy immediately retorted that 50 knew how to make songs, but didn't rank on his personal lyrical list. Jigga then offered "In that case you wouldn't put Pac there or you wouldn't put Big." Young also denied reports that he was set to release a new solo album later this year. "It's just really about if I'm fiending for it. I just can't escape it. I'm not just gonna stay out the game because I said I am if I'm missing it like that," Jay offered. "I gotta just truly miss it and be fiending to do it."

DJ Whoo Kid is scheduled to receive multi-millionaire mogul Donald Trump on his G-Unit Radio show this coming Saturday.

50 Cent has cut a deal with prosecutors in Springfield, Massachusetts that will help the singer wriggle out of a possible stint in jail.

The deal, which was negotiated today (May 13), was the result of a legal case where the Southside, Queens lyricist was accused of assaulting a pair of women and punching another one.

Federal prosecutors have recently accused Irving "Gotti" Lorenzo of receiving "street protection" from Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff in exchange for laundering money into Murder Inc.

Irv and his brother Chris "Gotti" Lorenzo, recently requested a separate trial from co-defendant McGriff, who is charged with ordering the 2001 killing of Queens rapper Eric "E Money Bags" Smith. The Gottis' attorneys have maintained that their clients would be discriminated against if they sat through a trial filled with testimonies on the murder in addition to McGriff's alleged involvement in a double homicide in Maryland.
