Fire Marshall: Eminem’s Childhood Home Caught In Fire
(AllHipHop News) Eminem figuratively closed the chapter on The Marshall Mathers LP with its sequel but it seem he may also have to say goodbye to an influential piece of his childhood. According to The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press, Eminem’s childhood home was involved in a damaging fire.
The fire burned areas of the house’s top floor. At time of press there are no reports on a cause of a fire to house that appears in both iterations of The Marshall Mathers LP, located on 19946 Dresden St in Detroit, MI. The home was placed on online auction by the state of Michigan earlier this year.

Eminem is also catching fire of his own with the recent #1 debut on the R&B/Hip Hop charts for his collaboration with Rihanna off The Marshall Mathers LP 2 entitled “The Monster”. With that inclusion, Eminem became the first musical act since The Beatles in 1964 to have four singles in Billboard’s Hot 100’s Top 20 with “Rap God” (17), “Berzerk” (15) and “Survival” (16).
The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is available now.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Joe Professes His Love! Guess What Tahiry Said….
I don’t watch these reality shows too much. They take up too much time and brain cells, but one reoccurring thread is this thing that Joe Budden and Tahiry have going on. They go back and forth so much, but recently Joey put it all on the line – seemingly in New York’s Times Square. He came just short of asking her to marry him.
Check out the video below and after the video, I’ll tell you what I heard Tahiry said.
I heard Tahiry said, “No!”
I might add that some people are saying that this was a marriage proposal. It sure seemed like it.

Moët & Chandon Introduces Moët Nectar Impérial Rosé Leopard Luxury Bottle
Moët & Chandon and Hip-Hop go back to the 80’s, as the culture has always had a penchant for pricey spirits. Now, in 2013, there is a new standard for the many moguls (real and aspirational) to sip. Moët & Chandon introduces the Moët Nectar Impérial Rosé Leopard luxury limited edition in a 6-litre Methuselah size bottle.

They commissioned acclaimed French engravers Arthus-Bertrand to handcraft each of only 60 6-litre bottles with 22-carat gold leaves. “As a wine, Moët Nectar Impérial Rosé pleases the senses with its refined and sophisticated richness and distinguishes itself by its extravagant fruitiness, its density on the palate and crisp finish which surprises and delights,” says a statement. You have to have long dollars to achieve this level of opulence.

And, of course, it will be readily available at nightclubs across the nation.

Rap Pioneers Looking To Launch Hip Hop Museum In The Bronx
(AllHipHop News) Some of the fathers of Hip Hop are joining forces to create a museum dedicated to the culture’s historical and educational impact.

“Any institution dedicated to Hip Hop has to be in the Bronx. We’re trying to make that a reality,” Caz told The New York Daily News.
“We’re going to see this become a reality. It’s a celebration of what we did in the past, as well as the present and what we can do in the future,” added Mel.
The mission of Windows of Hip Hop is “to explore Hip Hop’s origins and celebrate it’s cultural & historical significance in the world through exhibits, presentations, performances and educational programs.” Both Grandmaster Melle Mel and Grandmaster Caz serve on the board of WoHH.
As Mel and Caz prepare to honor Hip Hop’s vibrant past, they also have strong opinions about the culture’s present. When asked what they think about rap music today neither legend admits to being too fond of what they hear.
“I really can’t stand it. It’s way too juvenile. It’s way too violent. It doesn’t stand for anything,” stated Melle Mel.
“Hip Hop is beautiful today. Hip Hop in its truest sense hasn’t changed,” shares Caz. “Now, rap music, rap music needs an enema. Rap music needs a good flush-out.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: What’s Up With Will Smith And Jada?
I sort of skipped this crap, but decided that it was worth a mention since people were talking about it. Apparently, people feel they caught Will Smith cheating on Jada with some chick named Margot Robbie. Now, Will and Jada dispelled it fast and a recent, pre-scandal interview have Will saying he was gonna get Jada pregnant again. OK. But, it seems like this woman Margot is also co-starring with Will on a new project. Then Jada was seen without her wedding ring. But, insiders are suggesting this is all nothing more than a press stunt to get people talking. Or that there really is problems with the marriage and they are trying to mask the real issues with fake issues.
Alright. OK.
Nevertheless, the reps for Will dismiss the whole thing saying that Will and Margot were just clowning at the end of the film taping and that’s it.
