Eminem news

Hip Hop legend Erick Sermon is set to drop his new album, "Chilltown, New York" this summer. The album features Dr. Dre.

D12 World has not been approved for sale in Korea because of the abusive language and extreme expressions. A “cleaner version” of the album by Korea Media Rating Board filtering out the vulgar language found on the album was ruled “inappropriate for teenagers.” The cleaner version contains parts where some of the raps are cut out. Their first album, “Devil’s Night,” was on sale in Korea as a “cleaner version.”

Damn, ha? Imagine youd have to listen to such version..

Jason Richards, Chartattack: "We caught up with Beastie Boys last week in New York City. The night before, they appeared on MTV premiering a clip of their ridiculous new video for "Ch-Check It Out," the first single from their long-anticipated sixth album To The 5 Boroughs, set for release in mid-June. Later that night, Eminem and his band D12 also performed. Somewhere during the evening, Em stopped by the Beastie Boys’ dressing room to show respect to the white rappers who paved the way for him. There was a mix-up, which, for the Beastie Boys, could turn out to be deadly."

As expected, Eminem's posse, D-12, seized No. 1 on this week's Billboard Top 200 Album chart. The group's second effort, "World," moved 544,523 copies, ending Usher's five-week run. His "Confessions" sold 242,009.

"Just letting you guyz know it's only 5 minutes long, but it's worth it! They talk about where his from, the shit about Joe Budden and him, and his album. They showed clips of him and Busta in the studio, and Game recording some shit for his album."

"Oh, and we finally know why he's signed with G-Unit Records. Dr. Dre told him to sign with them 'cause G-Unit Records gots 50, Bank$, Yayo from the East and Buck from the South, so all they needed was the West and Game is the one to filling the spot. Tight shit." Source: Oxide
