Eminem, 50 Cent & Dr. Dre Reunite On ‘Curtain Call 2’ Collab ‘Is This Love (’09)’

Eminem, 50 Cent and Dr. Dre have reunited on an unearthed song called “Is This Love (’09),” from Slim Shady’s newly-released compilation album Curtain Call 2.

As the title suggests, the track was originally recorded in 2009 — the same year Eminem made his post-Encore comeback with Relapse — and finds the close-knit trio connecting for a playful song about romantic and sexual infatuation.

“Girl, I’m diggin’ your whole MO/Give me a go, you’re throwin’ innuendo/Keep sendin’ me smoke signals/Everything’s movin’, spinning in slow M-O-T-I-O-N,” Em raps over bouncy production from Dr. Dre, Mark Batson and Trevor Lawrence Jr.

50 Cent, meanwhile, channels his inner Slim Shady with a rapid-fire, acronym-riddled verse full of shock value. Judging by at least one lyric, 50 recorded his rhymes much later than ’09.

“I kill a bitch with a potato peeler for the skrilla/I’m finna skin a sinner, dick robbed like Bruce Jenner,” he spits, referencing Caitlyn Jenner’s 2015 gender transition.

“Is This Love (’09)” is one of three new songs on Curtain Call 2 alongside “From the D 2 the LBC” featuring Snoop Dogg and the CeeLo Green-assisted “The King and I,” which also appears on the Elvis soundtrack.

Curtain Call 2‘s primary purpose, though, is serving as a highlight reel of Eminem’s decorated catalog since the release of his first greatest hits album, Curtain Call: The Hits, in 2005.

Mac Miller’s ‘I Love Life, Thank You’ Mixtape Arrives On Streaming Services

Mac Miller's 'I Love Life, Thank You' Mixtape Arrives On Streaming Services

Source: HipHopDX

Mac Miller’s I Love Life, Thank You mixtape is now available on streaming services for the first time.

The project was reissued on Spotify, Apple Music, TIDAL and co. on Friday (July 22) as the late Pittsburgh rapper’s back catalog continues to make the jump from DatPiff to DSPs. His 2014 mixtape Faces debuted on streaming platforms last October.

Rostrum Records, the label where Mac first enjoyed success, celebrated the rerelease by hosting a listening session/fan Q&A on Reddit’s Hip Hop Heads community, marking the first time the platform has partnered with a record label to stream a record and engage with fans.

Originally released in October 2011, I Love Life, Thank You clocked in at 13 songs and included guest features from Talib Kweli, Bun B and Sir Michael Rocks, plus production from 9th Wonder, Clams Casino and Like from Pac Div.

Prior to the mixtape’s release, Mac Miller launched his Road 2 A Million Fans campaign in April 2011 as he looked to grow his Twitter following from 300,000 to one million. As he reached various checkpoints on the journey, Mac shared songs from the project as a token of gratitude to his growing fanbase.

Mac Miller went on to release his debut album Blue Slide Park less than a month later in November 2011. The Most Dope multi-hyphenate tragically passed away from an accidental drug overdose on September 7, 2018.

Ice Cube Says He Regrets Turning Down The O-Dog Part In “Menace II Society”

Ice Cube Says He Regrets Turning Down The O-Dog Part In “Menace II Society”

Source: TheSource

Ice Cube made his big screen debut as Doughboy in John Singleton’s Boyz N The Hood in 1991 and has since had a very successful acting career having starred in the Friday trology, Are We There Yet, 21 Jump Street, Ride Along, and next to some of the biggest actors in Hollywood.

However, the Big3 co-founder admitted in a recent interview that he had a chance to star in another cult classic film, but turned down the opportunity, something that he says he now regrets.

In a new episode of the On The Guest List podcast, Cube was asked if there was any role he regrets passing up. Thats when he revealed that he was considered for the part of O-Dog in Menace II Society but turned it down because he did not want to be typecasted as the “L.A. gangbanger.”

“I would say Menace II Society,” Cube said. “I had a shot to do O-Dog, even though I think Larenz Tate killed it, I just didn’t wanna be type cast. You know what I mean? I was like, ‘I just did Boys N The Hood and they just gonna have me be the L.A. gangbanger you know what I mean every damn movie’ and [Menace] was like the second movie I got offered so I was like, ‘Nah I don’t wanna play that.’ That was one movie that when I saw it I was like, ‘Ooo that role is cold.’”

Chris Brown Names His Mount Rushmore Of Hip-Hop

Chris Brown Names His Mount Rushmore Of Hip-Hop

Source: AllHipHop

Chris Brown struggled with his selection of elite MCs worthy of a place on the all-time greats list and ended up with a total of six names.

Selecting just four names to be immortalized on Rap’s Mount Rushmore is a tall task for any head, and it was no different for Chris Brown when he was asked to name his personal list of the greatest MCs.

The R&B singer was challenged to name the rappers on his G.O.A.T. list during a recent interview with Power 206’s L.A. Leakers. While he was quick to rattle off the first few names, he realized he spoke too soon.

“Jay-Z, Nas, Big L, and Tupac,” Chris Brown revealed after just a few moments of thought. However, he changed his mind just seconds later and had to make some alterations.

“Skrrt, put Biggie in the spot of Nas!” he said before clarifying he still has love for his former collaborator. “I love Nas, damn. It’s f#####’ up!”

Wyclef Jean Brings Out Lauryn Hill At Essence Fest To Perform Several Fugees Classics

Wyclef Jean Brings Out Lauryn Hill At Essence Fest To Perform Several Fugees Classics

Source: HipHopDX

New Orleans, LA – Wyclef Jean was among the many performers at the 2022 Essence Fest in New Orleans on Friday night (July 1). During his set, Wyclef brought out his fellow Fugee Lauryn Hill much to the surprise of the audience.

The two longtime collaborators did a live rendition of “Killing Me Softly” from the group’s critically acclaimed sophomore album The Score as well as “Ready Or Not,” “How Many Mics” and “Fu-Gee-La.” Prior to the performance, HipHopDX spoke to Wyclef who ensured his fans his Essence Fest appearance would be “historical” — and he delivered.

The performance comes six months after the Fugees canceled The Scores‘s 25th anniversary reunion tour due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

“We anticipate and understand disappointment but our anniversary tour will not be able to happen,” the group explained at the time. “The continued Covid pandemic has made touring conditions difficult, and we want to make sure we keep our fans and ourselves healthy and safe. An idea sparked to honor and celebrate this 25th anniversary of The Score, but we see now it may not currently be our time for revisiting this past work.”

The fact Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Pras were able to come together for a show in New York City prior to the cancelation was a miracle in itself. Shortly after The Score was release, the trio had a terrible falling out and it looked like they’d never share a stage again. Wyclef and Hill admittedly had an affair while he was married to designer Marie Claudinette. According to Wyclef’s autobiography Purpose, Hill also lied about the paternity of her son Zion and led him to think the child was his, when it reality the baby belonged to Bob Marley’s son Rohan.

Cardi B Vows To ‘Stomp’ The Game With New Album

cardi b new album 2022

Source: HipHopDX

It’s been four years since Cardi B unleashed her debut album, Invasion of Privacy, and fans are wondering what’s the update on her next project. On Tuesday (June 21), the leader of the Bardi Gang took to her Twitter with an update regarding her long-awaited sophomore effort.

Cardi shared a video in her tweet giving fans a crash course of her résumé since dropping Invasion of Privacy. She combined clips from various music videos with songs such as “Get Up 10,” “Drip,” “Money Bag,” “Bodak Yellow” and more playing in the background.

“Just a little reminder feeling like 2020 when I had to come out and STEP to remind them …..P.S-IM GONNA STOMP THIS TIME AROUND,” Cardi tweeted.

Cardi B has only featured on two songs in 2022 so far with Summer Walker and SZA’s “No Love” and the remix to Kay Flock’s “Shake It,” which also stars Dougie B and Bory300. Her first and only album, Invasion of Privacy, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, moving 255,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, with 103,000 coming from pure album sales.

Despite being a critically acclaimed album, not everyone felt that way. Rolling Stone placed the album at No. 16 on their 200 Greatest Hip Hop Albums list earlier this month, and some people were upset the project ranked above classics such as Nas’ Illmatic, Outkast’s Aquemini and Dr. Dre’s The Chronic.
