What's Eminem Saying About Adam Lambert On 'Elevator'?

4 December 2009 2:26 AM, PST | MTV Music News | See recent MTV Music News news »

Song's lyrics, also directed at Lance Bass and Clay Aiken, can be perceived as containing anti-gay slur.

Late Thursday, a pair of brand-new Eminem tracks from his upcoming Relapse: Refill album hit the Internet, and while both are filled with his trademark lyrical irreverence, a line in one of the songs — "Elevator" — is raising more than a few eyebrows.

In the track, Em jabs at former 'Nsync member Lance Bass and a pair of former "American Idol" contestants, Clay Aiken and Adam Lambert, all of whom are openly gay. While the actual wording of the lyric is in question, here's what Eminem appears to be rapping, according to several sites, including ThisIs50.com:

"Sorry, Lance, Mr. Lambert and Aiken ain't gonna make it/ They get so mad, when I call them both fake/ It's all these f---ing voices in my head, »

After "Buffalo Bill" and "Elevator" leaked Thursday, more records from Eminem's Relapse: Refill have hit the Web. The first record features Dr. Dre and is called "Hell Breaks Loose."

The track starts with Em telling listeners he wants the fans jumping and their fists pumping in the air.

"This is when sh-- hits the fan like it just splattered on Stan," Dre raps to commence his verse. "This is the only moment that matters/ Your homie rolling with Mathers."

"So do what we say at once," the Doc raps later. "This song is like a séance, it haunts."

"It makes them stay in a trance/ No choice, they have to dance," Em comes in.

"It's like the playoffs, just making sure we stay in the hunt," Dre continues before ending the verse with a Down South bounce flow. »

Eminem goes all Isaiah Washington on Adam Lambert in track 'Elevator'

3 December 2009 10:27 PM, PST | Zap2It - The Dish Rag | See recent Zap2It - The Dish Rag news »

Eminem. You stay classy, psycho.

Eminem has just dropped a new single titled "Elevator," in which he says the following:

Sorry Lance, Mr. Lambert and Aiken ain't gonna make it

They get so mad when I call them both f*****s.

Well, that's nice. Since when is there some kind of Eminem-Lance Bass feud? Is that something we should know about?

Adam Lambert tweeted in response, "Wow eminem mentioned me in a song?! I must be doin something right!? Even if he used the f word.... Whtev."

You're a classier guy than we are, Adam. Kudos to you for taking the high road. Let us do your dirty work.

Why does this "artist" feel the need to call out three openly gay male singers and drop the f-word? We don't care that it's Eminem's "persona"; it's tired and he just looks like an ignorant bigot.

Grammy Nominations: Eminem Vs. Drake And Three Other Intriguing Contests

3 December 2009 11:55 AM, PST | MTV Newsroom | See recent MTV Newsroom news »

Since Wednesday night's unveiling of the 2010 Grammy Awards nominations, most of the conversations have been about the three-way dance between Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Beyonceé, the trio of women who lead the way in the most important categories (those being Song, Record and Album of the Year). But there are plenty of other competitions that provide intriguing showdowns between artists. Here are the four that we will be talking about until the show, which will air live on January 31, 2010.

Best Rap Solo Performance: This category pits two heavy hitters (Jay-z and Eminem) against two newcomers (Drake and Kid Cudi) and a dark horse on the comeback (Mos Def). Though Jay-z may seem like the favorite, the true head-to-head in this category is between Slim Shady and Drake. It's the new kid on the block versus an able veteran, and they both showed up on one of the best »

Eminem’s Mother Is Marrying Man Who Tried To Sue Her

25 November 2009 7:13 AM, PST | Gossipvita | See recent Gossipvita news »

Debbie Nelson has revealed plans to wed her agent, Neal Alpert, who launched a lawsuit against her and her co-author for a small percentage of the profits from her book ‘My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem’. The case was, however, dismissed last year. Despite his lawsuit, it has been claimed Neal is one of the only people not to have “taken advantage” of Debbie and despite his bisexuality, he has “dated more women than guys”. The source added to website RadarOnline: “When it comes to marriage it’s not about the sex, it’s about being with your best friend, "He has always been a gentleman and respectful and never sold her out for a penny, even when he had the chance.” The couple are presently said to be looking at a number of different venues for the wedding. The source added: “It’s going to be a nice-sized wedding, »

Funny People Blu-ray Review

24 November 2009 12:10 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Judd Apatow had a hot streak, and it was bound to run into some bumps. That’s the industry; people are always waiting for failure. Instead - though it didn’t connect theatrically - Funny People is not a bad film, it’s a character study that has some problems when it transitions from one protagonist to another, but you can tell Apatow is trying to stretch his muscles. This may make it more interesting than good, but it’s definitely worth a look. My review of Funny People after the jump.

George Simmons (Adam Sandler) is a Sandler-like movie star who finds out he has a form of leukemia. Faced with the possibility of dying, he goes to a comedy club and does a terrible set as he works through his issues. Ira Wright (Seth Rogen) witnesses it, and has a run-in with George. Then George calls Ira and offers him a job, »

'This is what keeps me down to Earth and working,' Fif says of his 'Psycho' collaborator.

50 Cent says "Psycho," from his new Before I Self Destruct album, is totally different from "Patiently Waiting," even though the tracks feature the same collaborator, more or less.

"Well, 'Patiently Waiting' I perform with Eminem. On ['Psycho'], off of Before I Self Destruct, is 50 Cent and Slim Shady," he explained. "He has an alter ego, and he has a comfort with doing things [that] are the craziest things possible. That's when the chainsaw comes out. He starts going nuts on you. I wanted him to be able to go to that space, so I worked the chorus and he heard the chorus and he's like, 'Yo, I like that.' I actually recorded ['Psycho'] in Las Vegas. Dre produced the track, we had a bunch of producers out there, »

Eminem to return to the movies

10 November 2009 1:23 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Eminem is set to return to the big screen with upcoming horror 'Shady Talez'.

The rapper-turned-actor - who previously starred in biopic '8 Mile' as himself - is preparing to star in the 3D anthology film, his first major movie role since 2002.

The movie is bound to be challenging work for the star, as he will play a different role in each of the three parts of the film.

Speaking of Eminem's acting prowess, music video director Joseph Hahn, who has made clips for the star's tracks 'We Made You' and 'Without Me' said: "Having worked with him so many times, the thing people don't realise is that he's a fantastic actor.

"He actually stays in character on set. He's a method actor, like Daniel Day Lewis."

As well as the film, the musician will also write a four-part comic book series for animators Marvel, to coincide with the release. »

Shady Talez For Eminem

8 November 2009 10:29 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

He's been known to wield a chainsaw and wear a hockey mask on stage, and Eminem, aka Slim Shady, aka regular-why-all-the-fuss-guy Marshall Mathers is now taking his love of all things horror to the big screen, in the dubiously monikered 3D anthology movie Shady Talez.This looks like several jobs for Shady, as he'll play a different role in each part of the portmanteau, which if it follows the tradition of the genre (Creepshow, The Twilight Zone, the creaky Amicus films like From Beyond the Grave), will contain three stories, one of which is ace, one of which is a  bit meh, and one of which is rubbish.A four-issue Shady-penned comic series for Marvel is also planned to tie-in, and Slim will be co-writing the screenplay along with Underworld writer/star Kevin Grevioux (he's the one with the amazingly deep voice). John Davis (I, Robot) is attached to co-produce. »

Eminem to Star in 3-D Horror 'Shady Talez'

6 November 2009 9:15 PM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

A cameo appearance in 2009's "Funny People" apparently isn't enough for Grammy-winning rapper Eminem. Screen Daily recently broke the news that the Slim Shady is looking forward to make his return to the big screen by starring in a new 3-D anthology horror film entitled "Shady Talez".

The 37-year-old rapper reportedly will take on multiple roles in the movie described by the site as "The Twilight Zone" meets "Creepshow", in addition to producing it.

"Shady Talez" is being co-written by "The Last Dragon" scribe Dallas Jackson and "Underworld" creator Kevin Grevioux. Jackson will also produce the movie along with Eminem and John Davis. The movie is said to being turned into a four-issue comic book series due out »

6 November 2009 3:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

In 2002, hip hop star Eminem impressed a helluva lot of people with his work in the sort-of-biographical drama, "8 Mile." He's been relatively quiet on the Hollywood front since then, other than a few publicity stunts. All that is about to change however, as Eminem is preparing to return to the silver screen.

Next up for Slim Shady is "Shady Talez," a 3-D horror anthology described as "'Twilight Zone' meets 'Creepshow'" by ScreenDaily, which broke the news. The project is a collaboration between "I, Robot" producer John Davis and writer/producer Dallas Jackson, under the D.J. Classicz/Davis Entertainment label. Jackson will co-write the story with "Underworld" creator Kevin Grevioux; the duo will also produce a four-issue comic book miniseries based on the movie under the Marvel Icons label, for a 2010 release.

'The last record I made, I think I was concentrating more on spitting,' Em says of Relapse.

If Relapse marked the return of Slim Shady and his outrageous rhymes, then the sequel is shaping up to be Marshall Mathers' turn back in the spotlight.

In an interview on his Shade 45 satellite-radio station Tuesday night, Eminem explained the concept behind the forthcoming Relapse 2.

"[The album] is gonna be a lot different than people expect," Eminem told DJ Tony Touch. "As far as the contrast from the last album to this one, I got a couple of tracks with [D12's] Mr. Porter, two tracks with him so far. Four, possibly five with Just Blaze. The overall basis of this record, I went back to songs that are more emotionally driven. The last record I made, I think I was concentrating more on spitting. On this album, »

I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell – Interview with Tucker Max

25 September 2009 4:20 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

When I put my hand into that of frat-boy messiah Tucker Max, he crushed my phalanges with a firm shake that can only performed by legendary mitts. Those hands have handled more alcoholic beverages and women than my mind can even begin to imagine. And while I do hope he washes his hands regularly, at least I can say I’ve grabbed the paws of a man who has f**ked a little person stripper.

That and other stories are shared in Tucker Max’s first co-written movie, I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell, a film adaptation of his New York Times Bestseller with the same title. In the movie, law student/college-party-icon is played by Matt Czuchry (you may recognize him from “Gilmore Girls.”)

But as much as Tucker Max may seem to be invincible to his many vices, he still had a lot of learning to do when it came to cinema. »

I usually put an album out every two years, so this is almost an additional year. "This record could potentially be the one to top Get Rich Or Die Tryin'. (more) »
