As Em's 8th studio album just hit the shelves earlier this week, one can only wonder what records he'll conquer next. With Emine...

Eminem is still running his mouth and taking names in the process. The Marshall Mathers LP 2 hit stores this Tuesday. Fans and music critics have had a while to digest and soak in the album.

Hotstylz is pretty annoyed that Eminem didn't give them any credit for "stealing" their flow in "Rap God." Back in 2007, Raydio G, Krazee, and Meatball exploded on to the scene with a track called "Lookin Boy," which turned out to be the one hit they've churned out. Whe...

Live performances in hip-hop are a shaky subject to discuss, often resulting in conflicting opinions of what a “good” show actually consisted of.

Truth be told, Eminem ...

He's back, and it's still his real name, and it's still no gimmicks. Detroit MC Obie Trice has released a new single titled "Loot." The song is produced by D12's Mr. Porter and samples Obie's now-infamous intro on Eminem's 2002 hit, "Without Me." It's al...

The Marshall Mathers LP 2 release week promotional push continues.
