I hope all y’all had a chance to check out Eminem and Dr. Dre’s performance of the instant classic “Forgot About Dre” on Saturday Night Live on October 23rd. It was truly a moment that everyone is talking about, and has built the anticipation for Dr. Dre’s “2001” album, which hits stores on October 16th. Eminem also appears on “What’s The Difference” with Dre and Xzibit on “2001”. Go buy it as soon as you possibly can. You won’t be sorry.
Speaking of which, the Doctor and Slim are going to film a video for “Forgot About Dre” at the end of this month. Look for it in early December on your favorite video source.
Big shout out to all the European fans who are out supporting Slim during his Slim Shady European Tour which is going on right now. Everyone out in Europe has shown tremendous love for Em, and the best is yet to come- 2 shows in London on November 8th and 9th and a show in Eminem’s favorite spot, AMSTERDAM on November 12th. If you have the means, we ‘highly’ recommend attendance. Look for exclusive footage from the tour to pop up on our home page soon, and check out the ‘Appearances’ section for a Euro tour schedule.
To put everyone up to date, these are the projects Eminem will be appearing on before year’s end: “My Fault” (Pizza Mix) on the Celebrity Deathmatch Soundtrack (MTV/Interscope), Funkmaster Flex & Big Kap album (Def Jam), DJ Clue?’s new mixtape album (Def Jam), “Dead Wrong Remix” on Notorious B.I.G.’s “Born Again” album (Bad Boy), “Bad Influence” on the End Of Days soundtrack (Interscope), Next Friday soundtrack (Priority Records) and, of course, the Dr. Dre’s “2001” album. Is that enough to quench even your Shadiest thirst? We hope so. If not, just wait until the next album drops in the first part of 2001, along with a song on The Madd Rapper’s album (Sony), Royce The 5’9″‘s album (Tommy Boy) and Tony Touch’s Piecemaker LP (Tommy Boy).
D-12 (Dirty Dozen) will be dropping a quick 12″ on vinyl only on Shady Records in January. You will be able to pick it up here, or at your local vinyl spot.
BIG NEWS: Eminem.Com inks deal with Artist Direct, HipHopSite:
Sources close to Eminem (me) say that Eminem.Com has inked an exclusive deal with ArtistDirect.Com to be the new home of the site, which will be linked to a brand spanking new On-Line Eminem store ran by the folks at Artist Direct. The deal also includes the creative team at HipHopSite.Com, who have been bringing you Eminem.Com from day one, along with Eminem’s manager’s firm, Goliath Artists. The site will re-launch early next year with an all new look and feel. Expect the store to include products not available anywhere else, including the much anticipated “Fuck You Mummy” statue, which is a plastic 3-D version of the illustration in the Slim Shady LP artwork interior. As usual, we will let you know about it here first!
Until next time, remember that DJ Head sayeth: “Deez nuts, man.”
