IT’S IN. The first interim heavyweight champion in Bellator MMA history is Valentin Moldavsky.
With current champion Ryan Bader in the middle of the light heavyweight grand prix in hopes to once again become a simultaneous 2-division champion, the promotion moved forward with the interim title fight between Moldavsky and Timothy Johnson to headline Bellator 261 last Friday night at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
The first fight of the night was between Christian Edwards and Simon Biyong. Edwards walked out to Eminem’s 2002 work-out hit song “Till I Collapse,” featuring Nate Dogg and won the fight with unanimous decision. ‘Eminem curse‘ does not effect Christian Edwards!

But with Dr. Dre, and with what happened to Detox album, you will never know.
Kxng Crooked has recently revealed that Dre has tons of unreleased music in his lab.
Ed Sheeran has released his comeback single ‘Bad Habits.’ To celebrate this awesome news, Ed Sheeran spoke to Fergal D’Arcy on TodayFM, where the superstar singer revealed the work ethic he learned from Eminem:
“In music, especially in American music, it is normal thing to work from 6pm to 6 am. This is not a normal schedule at all. Normal schedule is from 9am to 5pm. I actually learned it from Eminem. He does it. Eminem is like so strict when he works. I think he gets in at 10am and he leaves at 5pm, no matter what. And lunch is when lunch is.” – said Ed Sheeran.
“And it works. If you have family, you family can’t rely on someone who is fluid.” he adds.

Akon also talked about Eminem’s work ethic couple of times during the interviews. One of the cases was HOT 97 inter view from 2019:
“Smack That song has interesting story behind. Working with him made me look at the business differently cause he was the first artist that I’ve worked with that actually treated the business like a real job.”
“He comes in at 9 A.M every day to the studio, takes his lunch break at 1 A.M, and is out of there by 5 PM. It’s like a schedule. I did not expect that from him. The first day I come, I come around 6 A.M.. Like we going to do an evening session. I get to the studio, they said ‘Em just left!’ He said ‘I am out of here!’ I said ‘I just got to the studio, you coming back here?’ He said, ‘yeah, I’ll be back there at 9 AM.”
“I was like, you joking right? but he was like I’ll see you at 9A.M. so I get there on 9 and he shows up exactly on time. Plays some beats, we vibing, Em’s like, ‘yo I am about to go out for lunch.’ I said I will meet you after…He goes takes his lunch, after an hour comes back. I play him the record, play him the chorus. He is like oh, this is it!”
“He goes into his verse. 5 PM comes. He’s halfway in. He’s like ‘alright bro, I’ll see you tomorrow. At this point, I’m like ‘Yo, this is crazy right! but then Em said ‘I just like to be here. I treat it like real job. I don’t make it no more than what it’s supposed to be. I don’t let it stress me out, stay longer than I have to. I got a family, I got a daughter. I want to make time.”
“I was like ‘damn, he is right. Some days I am in the studio three, four days. I do not come out. Don’t see my kids, don’t call my wife, none of that. I am sitting here like, [Em’s way] makes a lot of sense. Ain’t nothing gon’ change between today and tomorrow.”
“I met him next day and told him ‘you know what bro, you just gave me whole new outlook on how to treat the business. I don’t force it like I used to.”
To celebrate 10th year anniversary of his “Finally Famous” album, Big Sean has remixed and remastered the album, which includes guest appearances from Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, John Legend, The-Dream and Pusha-T.
The deluxe re-release also includes one never-before-heard song from the “Finally Famous” era called “Freshman 10 (Freestyle),” in which the Detroit rapper references Eminem and Dr. Dre with the following lines:
“And at that time, ni**as peep ni**as was stealin’ flows and buildin’ off it (Off it), And at that time, that ni**a Ye was like, “Dre, I’m just tryin’ to make them Ms off it” (EMs)”
I was surfing around around Reddit and found out the most unexpected thing I have ever come across on the web.
There is a YouTube channel called “Beedle The Bardcore” who makes Medieval Bardcore Versions of some of the classic and mainstream songs.
“Beedle the Bardcore doth love to party. I here shareth my medieval bardcore cover versions for the enjoyment of all peoples!” – we read in the description of the channel.
You can listen to Eminem’s “FACK” in Medieval Bardcore version below and if you like it, you can listen one hour of Eminem that includes, “Lose Yourself,” “Till I Collapse,” “Stan,” “Godzilla” and more!
“Sing 2,” the sequel to the 2016 animated movie, where Hollywood superstar Matthew McConaughey played a koala who is hosting a singing competition to save his struggling theater is coming out on Christmas.
Real-life pop mega-stars Halsey, Bono and Pharrell Williams have also joined the cast, which also includes Scarlett Johansson as a rocker porcupine, Reese Witherspoon and Nick Kroll as pigs, and Tori Kelly as a shy elephant.
The plot revolves around the gang convincing a reclusive rock star lion — that’s Bono — to star in a new stage show, and the new trailer features anthropomorphic animals singing Billie Eilish’s “Bury A Friend,” Eminem’s 1999 hit song “My Name Is,” Drake’s “Hotline Bling,” U2’s “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” System Of A Down’s “Chop Suey,” and many more.
You can watch the trailer below:
“Sing 1” trailer, which came out in 2016, features Eminem’s “Sing For The Moment.” Watch it below:
The Game is back with the bars. The Compton rapper teams up with DJ Kayslay for their lethal collaboration, “72 Bar Assassin.” Over the menacing beat, Game unleashes a series of brash and unapologetic rhymes.
In the song, Game mocks Diddy with the following lines: “Flow like a condom / Ni**as still not fu**in’ with it. King of New York, king of L.A. / And I don’t give a f**k what Diddy say / My semi spray.”
He also addresses a Verzuz battle rumors with 50 Cent “Just to talk about a Verzuz with 50 / Tell Swizzy I need a hundred cash.”
Later, he shouts out Young Buck and Lloyd Banks: “Can’t see me now, couldn’t see me with Young Buck and ’em / Shout out to Lloyd Banks, album go hard, ni**a.. You supposed to do your squad like Yo Gotti do ’em / Therefore it’s still the Unit long as I can still move ’em.”
Dax is still torturing beats, and goes ham over Dr. Dre and Eminem’s classic song “Forgot About Dre”.
Taken from his ransacked living room, Dax bares his war paint and drops endless rhymes over the Dr. Dre production. The possessed rapper multiples in a series of clones, downs a bottle of liquor, and clutches his radio before setting it ablaze.
DAX previously remixed some of Eminem’s biggest hits, like “Rap God,” “Godzilla,” “Killshot” and “The Real Slim Shady”

In a new interview with HipHopDX, Big Daddy Kane confirmed that he was interviewing Eminem and Jay Z for his upcoming Netflix documentary, titled “Paragraphs I Manifest.”
During a recent conversation with DX, the inimitable Hip Hop icon briefly expounded on the topic and confirmed he already had a laundry list of legends locked and loaded for the series.

Back in September 2020, Kanye West revealed that he has a remix of “Use This Gospel” song with Eminem and Dr. Dre, saying that it is his daughter North’s favorite song.
Kanye West thanked Eminem, confirming that their collaboration exists: “Eminem, thank you for rapping on the Dr. Dre’s remix of my daughter’s favorite song of mine “USE THIS GOSPEL,” wrote Kanye in his first tweet.
Then, basically repeating the same thing, he tweeted again. “Eminem THANK YOU FOR RAPPING ON THE DR DRE REMIX OF USE THIS GOSPEL I HAVW ALWAYS LOVED AND RESPECTED YOU AND IM HONORED TO HAVE YOU BLESS THIS SONG … ITS ALSO NORTH WEST’S FAVORITE KANYE WEST SONG OF ALL TIME.”
Since then, fans are waking up every day in the morning to hear the song but the track has never seen the light of day.
