Eminem’s 8 Mile Style Music Inks Global Publishing Deal with Kobalt Music Group

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  18 Comments

Eminem’s publishing company, 8 Mile Style Music, has entered into a global music publishing deal with the Kobalt Music Group and LA based Music Resources. Through the deal, Kobalt will become 8 Mile Style’s exclusive publishing administrator for all territories outside of the U.S. and Canada, while Music Resources will handle administration duties within the U.S. Kobalt will collect, process and track royalties for Em’s extensive multi-million album selling catalog. The two companies will collaborate on creative and A&R services, and Music Resources will utilize Kobalt’s online music publishing administration technology under the “Powered by Kobalt” brand. “The music industry is changing fast, and like the trend with established major artists, copyright holders of major catalogs need to take control of their own destiny,” said Joel Martin, principal of 8 Mile Style. “Kobalt’s transparent system has re-engineered the publishing industry, and we’re confident we have crafted a unique relationship with Kobalt globally, and both Kobalt and Music Resources in the U.S., that will provide tremendous financial and creative advantages and will ensure we are completely involved in the management of our business with money not being wasted on unnecessary expenses.”

    I am feelin an Andre 3000-esque revival w/ Em. He still is skilled enough and lyrical enough to shit on people. Thats when I really felt Eminem; when he was sayin some real ass shit and was shittin on peoples faces.

  • NIG

    EMINEM IS THE BEST BY FAR………AND THE INDUSTRY DOES SUCK RIGHT NOW…….SHADY WE NEED U….PLEASE DROP AN ALBUM SOON!!!!

    Eminem is good…but not the best. Royce defeated the whole d12..check your history

    Eminem is the best rapper alive. Not Ga-Z, Not Lil Weasel, Not Nas. Ya niggaz just don’t like admitting it cause homie is white but ya know its true. Maybe Jay and Nas follow close behind but thats about it. I know fa sure that no Southern artist is even in the same league. That’s like comparing a ferrari to a Honda. Southern rappers lack evrything that define a great rapper, flow, lyrics, swagger etc. You Southerners better stop embarassing black people with those ugly accents of yours. I really hate u guys for destroying rap.

    em is one of the great rappers in the hiphop world!

    an he can lyrically like wayne an whoever think they the best rapper alive…he is jus waitin fo some1 so say somethin inslutin to him.

    “…i pray for the day that someone who spits with the calliber that nas and jay does
    opens up his jaw to say something or rattle my name off
    or rattle the first thing from the top of his brain off
    so i can blow the fuckin dust off of this chainsaw
    and give him the surgery that he came for…” -monkey see monkey do

    go back, Royce beat everyone in D12 except Em.
    Em didn’t want to beef with him because of their history together.

    so, moresickaMC, check your shit before you tell others to

  • a person

    WTF i just read all of these comments em is one of the best rappers out there shit even THE BEST even better then wayne honestly even tho em hasnt had a cd in years fuck maybe even pac reincarnated into a whiteboy all you people sayin shit about him are pissed off because he beat the shit out of your favorite whack ass rappers and you hate him because hes white

    but honestly if you take a blind person and tell him to tell the difference between a black guy and white guy maybe an accent is all they will be able to see
    that is the beauty of music in the first place you dont have to SEE someone as being black or white just as a great storyteller
    and just listen to the artist for WHO they are not WHAT they are now im not tellin you haters to love him just appreciate him

    by the way i have no problem with wayne or cam’ron im just saying in all reality shady is THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE
