Cee Lo Green Wanted Eminem To Rap About “White Power”
(AllHipHop News) Cee Lo Green has a reputation of thinking a little left of center which usually results in genre blending music and questionable attire that would make Prince blush. However, he recently revealed to MTV’s RapFix that he had this brilliantly off the wall idea to get Eminem on a Goodie Mob song entitled “White Power” of their upcoming album Age Against The Machine.
According to Cee Lo, the song is about “a black perspective on white power” and felt the Detroit rhyme slayer would sound perfect on the track:
“It had gotten out to the press and I just thought that it made a bold statement so I thought that Eminem would easily jump at the controversy being that I heard he had been gearing up to do a new record and getting ready to get back out and fight”
However, for undisclosed reasons the collaboration never materialized but Cee Lo reaffirms the song will still be featured on the upcoming album due out on August 27th:
“I was just as a fan, really anticipating what he could do it. I don’t know for whatever reason we weren’t able to do it. I would’ve really liked to see it happen, but it did make the record though.
Check out Eminem’s most detailed song on white power in the song “White America” from his classic 2002 album The Eminem Show:

HELL NO!: Pastor Fired For Attending Rick Ross Concert
(AllHipHop News) Right above Wu-Tang Clan on the list of things you do not mess with has and will always be God and a North Carolina pastor learned that the hard way. 26 Year old Rodney Willis was fired as as the pastor of Mt. Salem Baptist Church in North Carolina after it was discovered he had attended a Rick Ross concert.
Deacon Miles Langley said the 11 to 3 vote to relieve the pastor of four years of his duties was a result of a perception of Rick Ross’ music as “tearing down the kingdom of God”:
We know that many saints will have mixed opinions from our actions, but this is not how we do things here at Mt. Salem. We cannot have a pastor praising the world one minute then praising the Lord the next. Period,” Langley continued.
Willis was also observed at a Lil Wayne concert nine month ago.

EXCLUSIVE: DMX Plays DMX In New Chris Rock Movie (PICS)
(AllHipHop News) No matter what negative press surrounds Dark Man X he has always remained productive. AllHipHop was sent information from DMX’s publicist about X being involved in a comedic jail scene in the new, as-of-yet untitled Chris Rock movie.
In an official statement, X and Rock were said to have incredible comedic chemistry which resulted in DMX being apart of an interesting musical number in the film:
The scene is comedic which allowed X to show off his versatility as an actor. X and Rock played well off each other and Rock’s character even gets DMX to lead the inmates in a song. There are more acting roles to come and DMX is also planning on attending the Sundance Film Festival in January.
Here is another exclusive picture from the set of the movie:
No word on title or release date of the film. Check out the hilarious scene from Chris Rock’s 2001 film Down To Earth where Rock’s character recites the lyrics to DMX’s “Ruff Ryders Anthem”:
The Watchers: G-Shock 30th Anniversary Party w/ Eminem
(AllHipHop News) You can argue who the greatest rapper of all time is and what the criteria for that prestigious title entails. You can also argue what the best watch is as well.
But after last night’s 30th Anniversary concert for G-Shock at the secret location, Basketball City, in New York City, you can not deny that Eminem and G-Shock know how to garner attention and put on a great show.
Casio began the show stating they had sold over 65 million watches in its 30 year history. They had their extensive line of watches on display from their first watch in 1983 to their latest watches that can resists intense fire, freezing and water conditions.
The theme of the night was “Shock The World” and the people at Casio made sure that permeated every facet of the night. For example, the Casio America CEO and co-founder of G-Shock, Shigenori Itoh arrived to the event on a motorcycle. Mr. Itoh, along with G-Shock creator/engineer Kikuo Ibe and Yuichi Masuda discussed the future of G-Shock before they were accompanied by celebrity guests guests James Marsden, Jessica Stam and Brooklyn Nets stars Brook Lopez and Paul Pierce:
After the formalities, a few hours of open bar access and impatient fan chatter, the show began with Yelawolf, donning American flag shades, running through a litany of fan favorites and deep album cuts from his debut Radioactive. His song “White Boy Sh*t” from his 2012 mixtape Heart of Dixie got the biggest crowd reaction with the racially mixed crowd yelling in unison “I’m on that white boy sh*t”.
The second Yelawolf exited the stage, chants for “Marshall”, “Slim Shady” and “Eminem” began blaring from the crowd and there were plenty of spectators explicitly demonstrating their standom fandom for Eminem:
The 80 million record selling lyrical titan arrived on the stage with a live band and Alchemist as his DJ as he went straight into the adrenaline inducing Recovery track “Wont Back Down”. From there it was a mix of classic Eminem songs (“I Just Dont Give A F*ck”, “Criminal”, “Business”) and newer bangers (“Airplanes”, “Forever”, “Not Afraid). Em even brought out his Bad Meets Evil partner Royce Da 5’9 to perform their Bruno Mars-assisted single “Lighters”.
While Eminem’s breath control and mesmerizing energy kept the enjoyment levels at high, there were problems with the performance that cheapened the event. The biggest problem was the mic volume which affected all the performers that night and even rendering a good portion of Eminem’s lyrics, speeches and interactions with the crowd inaudible, severely affecting the momentum. Numerous times the Detroit legend could be seen adjusting his earpiece and looking blankly at his band.
Even in the midst of that,, the dedicated Eminem fans rapped every fast paced, slowed down, murderous, revelatory and aggressive lyric that came out of that man’s mouth. It truly is a rare experience to witness hundreds of people rap “Stan” line for line with most of the audio barely being heard.
Then again it is rare you get to see the greatest rapper of all time perform.
