Eminem news

Eminem has a new DJ and Green Lanterns replacement is a familiar face to Hip-Hop.

The Alchemist, normally affiliated with Mobb Deep, has accepted a position with Eminem as his new in-house spin doctor.

Alchemist told AllhipHop.com, “Basically, we are under the same management. My brother Neal and Paul [Paul Rosenburg, Shady Records executive] and they came up with the idea. They approached him and then they approached me and asked me if I was with it. And I said, ‘Yeah.’”

D-12's Bizarre, who appeared on MTV's prank series, Punk'd, recently discussed the televised practical joke and the reaction he received from family members and friends.

On the episode, Bizarre was pulled over by a fake officer after the rapper withdrew money from an ATM that gave him more than he requested.

The officer, played by a member of the Punk'd crew, questioned Bizarre about his ATM transaction. The rapper said family and friends called him afterward to rib him on his appearance.

"[Proof's] always into some crazy s**t. I don't be in that much crazy s**t as he's in," Bizarre told AllHipHop.com. "I just felt like, the ATM machine, if it spits out this money, and I put my PIN number in here, all it can do is take it out from my account. I was just like 'This is unbelievable. I know this isn't my ATM machine.'"

Young Hollywood is set to shine once again as MTV announced its first group of presenters for the 14th annual 2005 MTV Movie Awards, with a special performance by Eminem.

Eminem and Apple have settled a copyright infringement lawsuit, after the rapper accused the computer giant of using one of his songs without permission.

This year's schedule for the Verizon Wireless Music Center in Noblesville includes two of the most high-profile acts on the road this summer, Eminem and Coldplay, as well as the usual lineup of established stars and newcomers. Eminem will be in town on July 7 and Coldplay on Aug. 12.

VWMC held its first show in 1989, when the venue was called Deer Creek. The telecommunications firm Verizon purchased naming rights to the venue in 2001.

[April 23, 2005] "Hate it or Love it" is The Game's & 50 Cent's newest hit, and the video version is featured on The Game's debut CD, "The Documentary." But an extended version on 50's CD, "The Massacre," is apparently too much for one Maryland man to take. Kwasi Jones claims The Game and a crew of more than 20 assaulted him and a radio DJ after an interview back in January at a station near Washington D.C. He claims The Game then rapped about it in a song.

Kwasi claims The Game bragged about the beating, but then begged for mercy during the video's premiere on BET, saying, "This is my public apology. To all the people at Radio 1, I'm being sincere; we're sorry about what happened in D.C. It'll never happen again." Kwasi claims the rage erupted after The Game's manager thought the DJ was making fun of his hi-tech earpiece by making a "Star Trek" Vulcan sign. Kwasi says they escaped into an office, but when he went back to get a cell phone, the beating resumed.

It seems Will Smith got a little angry during the production of Lost and Found. With stabs at Eminem and a song devoted to spouting off about the abuses of Christianity, Smith shows his audience a different style altogether.

By Chris McDougall, Maneater Staff Writer, April 15, 2005:

I like Will Smith, which is why it was scary for me to find out about his latest album, Lost and Found. Through rumors, I’d heard that Smith was sick of the abuse, and finally lashed back at Eminem in this album.

Then I saw the cover, with Smith leaning against a street sign wearing a big red lettermen’s jacket with big red shoes and an oversized, white Phillies hat cocked to the left. Things were not looking good for Will.
