Eminem news

Lil Wayne’s LP should be dropping sometime soon, but he's still working and trying to get Eminem on his potential masterpiece.

"I'm trying to get Eminem on this song for my album," he said. "I did a little something for Dr. Dre's new album [Detox]. When you're busy like us, you just send the song. I just wrote some stuff for [Dre], and hopefully he'll like it."

In the flailing mess that is the recording industry of 2008, plenty of hard questions keep executives up at night. Some stare at the cruel ledger all day and ask "Where is our business?" Others ask a better (or at least more optimistic) question: "What is our business?"

That second question brought Jimmy Iovine, one of the industry's top executives, and Dr. Dre, one of the most esteemed stars on his roster, to Las Vegas for the annual Consumer Electronics Show, an event that by Sunday night left both a bit blinkered.

"I love coming to Vegas," Dre said, "but I love leaving it too."

In a recent radio interview, Obie Trice reportedly commented on Eminem's new album. Read the whole story for the interview transcript...

"I just came from court, I got my Donald Trump button-up on," Tony Yayo said with a smile on Thursday afternoon (January 10) while sitting in the G-Unit's Manhattan office.

Yayo, born Marvin Bernard, had been in court earlier in the day to make an appearance before his upcoming trial on charges of endangering the welfare of a child, assault and harassment in connection with his alleged role in the roughing up of the then-14-year-old son of Game manager Jimmy "Henchman" Rosemond in March. According to Yayo's lawyer Scott Leemon, the district attorney revealed in court that the co-defendant in the case, honorary G-Unit member Lowell "Lodi Mack" Fletcher, was interviewed by the infamous New York Police Department "hip-hop squad" following his arrest in the case last year, but that police did not disclose that conversation to the district attorney's office until recently.

An associate of 50 Cent has been targeted by gunmen who peppered his New York home with bullets on Tuesday.

Barja Walter, 32, his girlfriend and three children were unhurt during the shootout at his Staten Island house at 4.45am, but cops found numerous bullet holes in the building and his Chevy, which was parked outside.

To re-create the rich, full sonic experience of today's best recordings, "Beats" powered isolation headphones utilize technologies never before used in headphones, including a newly developed driver technology. The result is unequalled performance, with remarkably natural sound, incredible transient response and rich, deep bass - a Dr. Dre trademark. In development for two years, "Beats by Dr. Dre" are tuned personally by Dr. Dre and The Head Monster himself.

[January 8, 2008] Slim Shady may not be known as such for much longer. The rapper's weight is said to have surpassed 200 lbs (90 kg, but not confirmed whether it's true), which may be the least of his health concerns.

According to TMZ, Eminem was rushed to a Detroit-area hospital over the holidays due to a serious heart condition and pneumonia.

This health scare comes just a month after Eminem's mom, Debbie Nelson, released a book where she claimed her son had lost control of his life.

All the best in 2008! Think of it as a new slate of your life and make the best out of it! Cheers!
