Machine Gun Kelly Honors Eminem In Detroit

Cleveland bred rapper, Machine Gun Kelly, has a long legacy of incorporating the artists who inspired him into his live set. On Warped Tour 2012 he could be found adding the likes of Blink-182, Limp Bizkit, and more into his routine, and fans ATE IT UP. Seriously, covers have always been cool, but I’m not sure anyone could have guess how successful hip hop covers would be (especially in a live setting).

Recently, Machine Gun Kelly took his current US tour through St. Andrew’s Hall in Detroit, MI. Prior to the show, MGK met with fans on the stoop of …

WATCH: Nardwuar Interviews Hopsin

Not a fan of the shrill, intentionally awkward interview style of internet persona grata est Nardwuar? A) What is the matter with you? He’s awesome! And B) That’s too bad you feel that way. You’re about to be inundated with a whole lotta Nard.

The Vancouver-based interviewer went one on one with the emcee with white contacts, Hopsin. Listen to Hopsin wax on about his hero Eminem, that one time he was an extra on a porn set, and the reason why he thinks you should wear a jock strap while you crowd surf (?) after the …

LIVE VIDEO: Chiodos – “A Letter From Janelle (Feat. Jon Connor)”

Sunday night, Chiodos played a hometown gig that would be the last for the band until 2013.

To set 2012 off right, the band invited Flint, MI rapper and UTG favorite Jon Connor to the stage to freestyle over an instrumental section during “A Letter From Janelle.” Jon set the room on fire with some quick verses and got the crowd participating with a little call and response.

You can get the rapper’s latest mix tape, The People’s LP on Datpiff now. It features some of this year’s best rhymes over some classic Detroit born and bred Eminem beats.…

LYRIC VIDEO: Skylar Grey – “C’mon Let Me Ride (Feat. Eminem)”

Shady, Shady, Shady… What have you done now?

You were doing so well. Recovery was great, your song with Fiddy and Adam “I hate the Roxy” Levine is going over well (with a video to boot), and people seem to give a shit about you again. With all of this good coming to you, why do this? This terrible, terrible thing.

This is Skylar Grey’s new single “C’Mon Let Me Ride.” It’s Rebecca Black level ridiculous. Marshall Mathers lends his voice to the track with a silly verse and a cringe-worthy cover sample of Queen’s “Bicycle Race” in …

FEATURE: Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” Turns 10

Ten years ago, on October 22, 2002, Eminem released “Lose Yourself.”  The first single from the soundtrack to the film 8 Mile, the song marked a high point in an already meteoric career that still felt in its infancy.  A wildly broad success, “Lose Yourself” would go on to hit number one on 24 charts around the globe, be nominated for five Grammys (winning one), and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song.  A decade later, the song remains his greatest accomplishment, one so dauntingly impressive that it has haunted his diminishing returns ever since.

To examine Eminem’s …

STREAM: P!nk Ft Eminem – Here Comes The Weekend

When Eminem released Recovery, many thought the days of the party jam may be over for the legendary Detroit rapper. Turns out, that is not the case.

Earlier today, another song off P!nk’s forthcoming album found its way online. Entitled “Here Comes The Weekend,” the song features Eminem and the “So What” songstress pairing over what can only be described as a top 40/club-ready beat. Par for the course when it comes to modern P!nk material, I guess, but the presence of Marshall Mathers definitely gives the casual listener a new reason to care. You can stream the song …
