White rappers come and go, but mostly they just go. Eminem is the exception that proves the rule on this side of the pond, and 'round merry olde England way there's a guy called Mike Skinner, AKA The Streets, who has Slim Shady's staying power sans some of the neuroses. He covers the usual white rapper trope of fame, hos, drugs and parental issues (with the bonus of Cockney Rhyming Slang), but he gets a little deeper.

While most pain in the hip-hop game is expressed through wounded, animal rage, Mike Skinner's hurt is more nuanced and possibly more … Read More

"Sit back and relax homey, kick back and relax, grab a six pack while I kick facts," croons Eminem at the start of his diss track dedicated to Mariah Carey.

These are some dirty lyrics—not the ones above, but those that follow shortly after. 

To all the critics who counted Eminem down and out while secluded fat and frumpy away from the media spotlight in Detroit, he's baaaaack! Talk about a smack down: like a shank to the breast, Eminem cuts MiMi deep in his new diss track "The Warning." Per, the once-again-relevant MTV:

The rap giant, who claims to … Read More

Comedian and sometimes free-styling rapper, Nick Cannon, had some choice words for his wife's, Mariah Carey, ex-boyfriend. While his birth certificate says Marshall Mathers, you know the ex as Eminem (or Slim Shady, if you're nasty).

Like many things that end, Eminem and Mariah Carey's relationship did not end well. And since he began putting together his latest album, Relapse, the blond b-boy has mentioned that his relationship with Mariah Carey would inspire some of the records tracks and lyrics. According to Idolator, Nick Cannon downloaded the leaked track "Bagpipes From Baghdad" and wrote a long, … Read More

This explains a lot. According to Celebitchy, Mariah Carey is of the purchasing the cow first school. The singer, songwriter, and innovator of the cut-off jean tops look (how did that look not have more staying power?) decided that she would try a new tactic (it may have been a strategy) with Nick Cannon: the old forbidden fruit route. We would never have pictured the diva as a fan of the Georgia Satellites but she took this play straight from their classic "Keep Your Hands To Yourself":

Always no huggin no kissin until I … Read More

So we know a few things about Mariah Carey: 1) Paul Mooney says that she prefers black men and her relationships with Eminem and Tommy Mottola pretty much cemented that; 2) she's, inexplicably, had more #1 hits than everyone but the Beatles; 3) Glitter showed that actressing wasn't her strongest skill; 4) her episode of Cribs proved to America that she is sexy-ish, rich, and kooky Mariah; and 5) she married Nick Cannon last week, also inexplicably.

But The Superficial is reporting that Mimi is a quick-ish study. After losing out on the Mottola … Read More

Nice. All of this year’s holiday stories are either of divorce (Sean Penn, Brendan Fraser), DUIs (Rebecca De Mornay, Mischa Barton) or engagements (Alba and Fergie).

We think a great Page Six headline for this item would have been: ‘Warren cashes in, proposes to Alba’. This has been a tumultuous year for these two they had the usual breakups and make ups, an STD rumor, a pregnancy, and an engagement. Good times, right? Some people think that Jessica Alba is the most attractive Hollywood actress and we think that those people have good vision. We think everyone wins here. The … Read More

Eminem and Mariah Carey seem to have the gripe that keeps on giving.

A source claims Eminem has returned to their famously contentious fling, six years ago, for unflattering material on his forthcoming album.

"There is more than one track that goes into really specific, intimate detail about what went on between Em and Mariah," an insider tells OK! magazine.

The source claims Carey has asked the head of her Island Def Jam label, L.A. Reid, to intervene.

"Mariah wishes she could sue Eminem for slander," says the snitch. … Read More
