]]>Eminem teased the release of his new album during the NFL Draft in Detroit, where he shared a short video that sees a true crime reporter discussing the events that led to the murder of Slim Shady
“Through his complex and oft-criticized, tongue-twisting rhymes, the anti-hero known as Slim Shady has had no shortage of enemies. The same rude lyrics and controversial antics may have ultimately led to his demise,” says the reporter in the video.
Eminem’s long-time collaborator 50 Cent also makes a cameo, saying that Slim Shady is not a friend, but a psychopath. Eminem makes a brief appearance at the end of the video, claiming “I knew it was only a matter of time for Slim.”
The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace) will be Eminem’s first studio album since Music to Be Murdered By in 2020. It debuted atop the Billboard 200, making him the first artist with ten consecutive No. 1 albums in the US, and produced singles “Darkness”, “Godzilla” ft. Juice Wrld, and “Those Kinda Nights” ft. Ed Sheeran.

]]>This week has been pretty epic for hip-hop collaborations, starring with B.G. and Gucci Mane’s new album Choppers & Bricks, which produced the song “Talk”.
Nicki Minaj teamed up with Monica and Keyshia Cole for “Love Me Enough”, a bonus track featured on a deluxe edition of her latest album Pink Friday 2. “Lace It” by the late Juice WRLD, Eminem, and Benny Blanco also made the cut, along with Bas’s “Home Alone” feat. J. Cole.
Speaking of epic collaborations that hit the shelves this week, none of them created more buzz than Reneé Rapp & Megan Thee Stallion’s “Not My Fault”. They both channeled their inner Regina George in this catchy bop, set to be featured in the upcoming Mean Girls musical remake.
Check out the rest of our list for this week, and get ready to discover new music by Lil Baby, Karol G, John Legend, James Arthur, and more.

]]>Sheeran brought the hip-hop icon onstage to perform a couple of tracks during his recent concert. The British hitmaker started playing Eminem’s smash hit “Lose Yourself” before the rapper emerged on stage, and they went on to perform “Stan” by each other’s side, with Sheeran filling in for Dido’s parts.
Sheeran and Eminem go way back and they recorded several songs together, including “River”, “Those Kinda Nights”, and “Remember the Name” ft. 50 Cent. This performance is somewhat of a full-circle moment for the duo, since they had their very first studio session in Eminem’s studio in Detroit.
“Actually, [the] first time we met, we didn’t make music. I hung out there for about four hours, and we just spoke Marvel and Avengers for about four hours. And then the next time I went back, we made a tune,” said Sheeran while speaking to Apple Music back in 2021.
Sheeran’s The Mathematics Tour kicked off in April last year, and it includes a total of 88 shows that will keep him on the road until September 23.

]]>The post From Dolly Parton to Eminem: Meet Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2022 appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony returned to LA’s Microsoft Theater on November 5 and it was a night to remember! In addition to Parton and Eminem, the list of this year’s inductees also included the soul singer Lionel Richie, band Duran Duran, new wave duo Eurythmics, rock star Pat Benatar, and singer-songwriter Carly Simon.
This year’s ceremony was one for the books because it covered a diverse range of genres, ranging from hip-hop and soul to country. Parton famously tried to bow out of consideration because she didn’t feel deserving of the honor as a country artist, but the ballots were already sent out to the voters so she agreed to gracefully accept this honor.
“I’m a rock star now! This is a very special night for me. When they said they were gonna put me in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I didn’t really feel like I had done enough to deserve that… But I’m just honored and so proud to be here tonight,” said Parton in her acceptance speech.

]]>This year’s halftime show as a whole was a celebration of Dr. Dre and his impact on hip-hop in the past three decades. In addition to being featured as one of the performers, Dr. Dre wrote and produced many of the songs performed by other artists during the halftime show.
Mary J. Blige didn’t have a chance to fully unleash her power at the Super Bowl because the show featured additional four headliners, but her performance was still one of the night’s highlights. She rocked our world with amazing renditions of “Family Affair” and “No More Drama” and kept us asking for more.
Eminem makes a spectacle every time he hits the stage, and his Super Bowl performance was no different. The rapper’s powerful rendition of his smash hit “Lose Yourself” was the talk of the night, especially after he took the knee at the end of his performance.

]]>To bring this epic performance to life, NFL joined forces with Roc Nation and PepsiCo, and their senior VP of media, sports, and entertainment said they wanted to blow the roof off the concept of collaboration with this year’s performance.
“Along with the NFL and Roc Nation, we continue to try and push the limits on what fans can expect during the most exciting 12 minutes in music; this year’s superstar line-up is sure to deliver a mind-blowing performance,” said Harter in an official statement.
The five performers have won 43 Grammys between them, and their choice isn’t accidental. Super Bowl LVI will bring back NFL’s biggest night to the Los Angeles area for the first time in almost three decades. Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg are two of the faces of the West Coast hip-hop revolution, while Lamar is one of the biggest hip-hop pioneers of his generation and hails from Compton.
Super Bowl LVI is set to take place on February 13th, 2022 at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

]]>The rapper’s new video was directed by Cole Bennett, and it shows him drinking a bottle of “Godzilla” whiskey that leads to some pretty wild consequences. Mike Tyson and Dr. Dre make guest appearances by the very end of the video, making it even more epic.
“Godzilla” serves as Juice WRLD’s first posthumous release since he passed away in 2019, and the video was dedicated to his memory. Cue cards at the very end thank the late rapper “for changing the wrld,” and promise he will be remembered and loved forever.
This single was featured on Eminem’s latest album Music to Be Murdered By, and it reached no. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 with very little promotion. This enormous success can be contributed to the viral “Godzilla Challenge,” which sees people trying to rap as fast as Eminem in this song.

]]>Some people thought the whole thing was brilliant, while others couldn’t understand why he was there in the first place, but the famous rapper cleared things up in an interview with Variety.
Eminem set down with this magazine a day after his performance of his Oscar-winning song “Lose Yourself” from the 2002 film 8 Mile.
Eminem wasn’t present at the ceremony when the track originally won the Oscar for the Best Original Song, and he didn’t hesitate when the producers approached him with the idea to perform it almost two decades later.
“I kinda figured maybe since I didn’t get a chance to do it at the time, maybe it would be cool… Back at that time, the younger me didn’t really feel like a show like that would understand me,” said the rapper.
Eminem also added that appearing at the Oscars didn’t feel right at the time because he already performed “Lose Yourself” at the Grammys a few weeks before the ceremony in 2003. He didn’t even bother to watch it live and went to sleep after putting his daughter Hailie to bed.

]]>Curtis Jackson aka 50 Cent received his star for special contributions to the recording industry on January 30th. Ana Martinez, the producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, described him as “a man of many talents and star power” in the official statement announcing his induction.
50 Cent was joined by fellow rappers Eminem and Dr. Dre during his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony and thanked them both for being there to support him, not only at this moment but throughout his career.
“I don’t honestly think my career would’ve been what it was without their support. Dre’s a mentor for the whole squad, really, because he’s been doing it for long before that and was able to guide us in ways without even knowing that he’s doing it,” said the rapper in his speech.
50 Cent broke into the hip-hop scene with his chart-topping album Get Rich or Die Tryin’ from 2003 and dropped several hit records since. His sixth studio album Street King Immortal is on the way, but it still doesn’t have an official release date.

]]>Eminem’s latest album hit the shelves on January 17th and saw him joining forces with a long list of collaborators, including Juice Wrld, Ed Sheeran, and Anderson .Paak. The music video for the lead single “Darkness” came out that very day and helped him create some buzz on social media.
That was all it took for Music to Be Murdered By to debut at the top spot on the Billboard 200, with 279,000 album-equivalent units sold. Halsey was close behind but ended up taking the no. 2 spot with her album Manic.
Music to Be Murdered By isn’t just another album to debut at no. 1 and its triumph is truly historic. Its success transformed Eminem into the first artist to ever have ten consecutive albums debut at number one in the US. He also became one of only six acts with 10 or more no. 1 albums after The Beatles, Jay-Z, Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, and Elvis Presley.
