Last year, the controversial motor-mouthed rapper Eminem made his return with Revival, an album that didn’t make the impact his previous releases have in the past. Personally, I thought it was really good, just a departure from the fiery, battle rap emcee I have followed since The Slim Shady LP. Well, this past week, Eminem shocked the world with a […]
By Jason T. Smith “To the father, son and Holy Spirit, I hold you dearest..” The tongue twisting Yelawolf rides a sinister beat in “Best Friend”, a song that sounds like it would be more of a soft song than what we are used to from the Slaughterhouse collaborator. What we get is some extremely dark lyrics and imagery when […]
Review by Nolan P. Smith Label: Shady/Interscope Release Date: 11/24/14 Format: Digital, 2 Disc CD set (Victor Valley)—Eminem is arguably one of the most well known rappers on the planet, and for good reason. The motor-mouthed MC from the Motor City has made an impact on the rap game that nobody can argue: whether you like him or not, the […]
By Nolan P. Smith “Maybe we took this too far…” Those are the words from Headlights, the newest music video from Eminem and featuring Nate Ruess. The song is off of Em’s latest album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2 and is a departure from what we usually hear about in regards to his mom, Debbie Mathers. We get to hear […]
(EXPLICIT SONG, if you don’t like hearing swear words and other vulgarities, then STEER CLEAR of this one!) The best Slaughterhouse song is on a mixtape.

Here comes another one. This week saw the release of the newest Slaughterhouse single, Throw That. Featuring the man himself, Eminem, Throw That is a fast paced track that lets the five emcees let loose. The single is on iTunes now, along with quite a few other singles off their latest album. Their major label debut album, Welcome to Our […]
No lie, just know I chose my own fate…I drove by the fork in the road and went straight… Jay-Z’s 2001 gem The Blueprint was an instant classic, and hit on a day nobody will forget. Released on September 11th, 2001, I remember picking up the disc and seeing the two towers being crashed into on every TV in Best […]
“It’s Eminem and him again…my sentiments exactly…” Everyone has heard the mega hit “Lighters” off of Bad Meets Evil’s Hell: The Sequel album that dropped last year, but that CD had much more than Bruno Mars. “I’m on Everything” is The Hangover as a rap song, as everything from the beat to the catchy Mike Epps hook to the […]
