Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Snoop Dogg to Perform at This Year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show
After basically ignoring the Atlanta music scene when the Big Game was there a few years ago, the NFL decided to not make the same mistake twice. For this year’s game at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, the NFL is giving the Super Bowl Halftime show a distinctly Los Angeles feel, as Compton natives Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar will be joined by Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Long Beach’s own Snoop Dogg. This will be Dr. Dre’s first live performance since headlining Coachella with Snoop Dogg in 2012 (the one with 2Pac’s hologram). “The opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime show, and to do it in my own backyard, will be one of the biggest thrills of my career,” Dr. Dre said in a statement. “I’m grateful to Jay-Z, Roc Nation, the NFL, and Pepsi as well as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige an...
Skylar Grey and Eminem Collaborate on Venom End Credits Track ‘Last One Standing’
Skylar Grey reunited with Eminem and joined Polo G and Mozzy on the end credits theme from Venom: Let There Be Carnage, “Last One Standing.” The song is out today, a day before the film hits theaters on October 1. [embedded content] “Over the past year I’ve been very selective about the projects I work on, outside of working on my album,” Grey said in a statement. “I’ve really been putting focus on finding the right collaborations and the right film/tv projects. The way this song came together was kind of the perfect storm. Venom is one of my favorite superheroes because he’s an antihero and I relate to that. Also Tom Hardy is one of my favorite actors. So I’m honored to be a part of this.” This isn’t the first superhero the songwriter has teamed up with. Her hit “Everything I Need” was on...
Eminem To Open Up ‘Mom’s Spaghetti’ Restaurant In Detroit
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nicky Nelson/WENN.com / WENN “His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy/There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti…” This week Eminem will officially be branching out of the rap game and trying his hand at the restaurant business when he opens the doors to his own spaghetti restaurant in the D. On September 29, Slim Shady will be pulling inspiration from a rhyme that’s damn near two decades old and introducing Detroit to his first Mom’s Spaghetti restaurant where tomato sauce soaked pasta is the star of the menu and it will be served in quite some interesting ways. Serving orders of spaghetti and meatballs in Chinese takeout boxes and spaghetti in-between two slices of bread (“S’ghetti Sandwiches”), Mom’s Spaghetti might very well be the...
Eminem Is Actually Opening a Restaurant Called Mom’s Spaghetti
It’s actually happening. Eminem is opening a restaurant called Mom’s Spaghetti. The name, of course, comes from the opening verse of 2002’s “Lose Yourself,” where Eminem raps: “His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy / There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti.” Not the most appetizing inspiration for a restaurant, but the lyrics have become iconic. Mom’s Spaghetti is slated to open its doors on Wednesday, Sept. 29, in downtown Detroit and plans to serve “spaghetti, meatballs, spaghetti with meatballs, or no meatballs, and the s’ghetti sandwich” according to a phone line recording (call 313-888-8388 to get more details). The rapper’s been advertising his new business endeavor with a local television spot, and it’s pretty amazing. Not only does it feature Eminem towerin...
Steve Aoki Shares Story About Remix for Kanye West, Drake, Eminem, and Lil Wayne That Never Dropped
Steve Aoki is one of the most accomplished DJs on the planet, but even those most veteran artists sometimes fail to rise to the occasion. In a recent interview with Emmy Award-winning journalist Graham Bensinger, Aoki shared a story about a remix for Kanye West that will never see the light of day. He recalls listening to a freestyle from West over the phone and later being sent stems to remix a song. However, Aoki was stunned when he realized the song included verses from the likes of West, Drake, Eminem, and Lil Wayne. As many may have deduced, this was likely a remix of the mega-collaboration “Forever.” Unfortunately, it never saw the light of day. Aoki himself deemed the remix not good enough, but having the opportunity to remix it today would be a completely dif...

Is that true?” Jimmy Kimmel asked Fif. “Listen, you didn’t look at the details of that situation,” 50 said...

The child’s mother is Eminem’s ex-wife, Kim Scott.

Eminem’s Ex-Wife Hospitalized After Suicide Attempt
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bill Pugliano / Getty Eminem’s ex-wife, Kim Scott, has been hospitalized after reportedly attempting suicide. The incident occurred late last month and she is currently at home recovering. TMZ reports that the authorities, including cops and EMT’s, were summoned to Kim’s Michigan home after receiving a call about a suicidal person on July 30. However, it seems that Kim wasn’t in too much distress, as she had smoke for the responders. Says TMZ: We’re told when they arrived, Kim was so combative she had to be restrained by deputies … and was so violent, paramedics were unable to check her vitals. Our sources say it appeared Kim had cut herself, as she had several small lacerations on the back of her leg and a good amount of blood was on the floor. Kim was r...
The 100 Greatest Rock Stars Since That Was A Thing
Three of the 100 are in this picture! The Rolling Stones, in 1964, from left to right: Bill Wyman, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Brian Jones. The problem with lists like this is they are invariably bullshit. So our prime objective was to make sure we didn’t do a bullshit list. I’m not saying we did a scientific one either. Because that isn’t possible — actually, it is, if you wanted some compilation of who sold the most records/concert tickets/has the most fans/got the most death threats, etc., and someone could come up with a bunch of very empirical metrics and create a “heat index” or something, and could deliver an actual scientific ranking! But we, um, didn’t do that. In fact we didn’t even, technically, do the “we...
White Iversons: An Eminem And Post Malone Collaboration Might Be On The Way
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nicky Nelson/WENN.com / WENN Two of Hip-Hop’s greatest White hopes might have something in the works. Rumors say that Eminem and Post Malone are working together on a track. As reported by Rap Up a close collaborator to Slim Shady’s camp had dropped quite the shocker to the Hip-Hop community this week. Last weekend Cole Bennett, video director who oversaw Marshall’s visuals for “Godzilla” and “GNAT”, took to his Instagram Story and posted a rather unique photo that spoke louder than words. The photo in question showed a yellow stick with barbwire going across it; in the background was a small statue of the Yellow M&M character. Additionally two “Shh” emojis were used on top of the image. While there was no caption used the innuendos provided...
Corey Taylor Speaks Out Against ‘Cancel Culture’ After Eminem Backlash
Corey Taylor, noted lead mask-wearer of Slipknot, is the latest rocker to speak out about concerns regarding “cancel culture,” but unlike System of a Down’s drummer and some of the others who have run their mouths on podcasts and such, Taylor actually brought up some good points. In a discussion on Los Angeles radio station KLOS surrounding TikTok users “canceling” Eminem due to a lyric in “Love the Way You Lie,” Taylor had strong words on the current state of things. <!– // Brid Player Singles. var _bp = _bp||[]; _bp.push({ “div”: “Brid_10143537”, “obj”: {“id”:”25115″,”width”:”480″,”height”:”270″,”playlist”:”10315″,”inviewBottomOffset”:&#...
