There may have been some intense special effect fire during Eminem's performance at the 2011 Grammy Awards Sunday night, but another type of fire spoiled his party. The Detroit rapper, nominated for ten awards, lost out to Arcade Fire for the highly-coveted Album of the Year award.
Eminem had been nominated for "Recovery" for Album of the Year, and was competing against Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Lady Antebellum and Arcade Fire. In a major shocker or upset, it was Arcade Fire's "The Suburbs" which rocked the decision makers enough to garner the win.
Still, Eminem won several awards on the night including the consolation prize of Best Rap Album. He beat out Jay-Z, Drake and B.o.B for the trophy. Also, Eminem rocked the stage with Rihanna and Adam Levine for "Love the Way You Lie," then assisted his mentor, Dr. Dre, in the new track "I Need a Doctor."
Other winners on the night included Jay-Z, Lady Antebellum, Muse, Miranda Lambert and Lady Gaga. Newcomer Justin Bieber saw himself shut out in two major categories, falling to Gaga for the Pop Album award and in a shocking loss, losing Best New Artist to Esperanza Spalding? (That's right, who?!)
A complete list of the 2011 Grammy Winners can be seen here.
The 2010 Grammy Awards featured a Triple threat contest between Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga, with the teenage music star taking home some of the biggest awards of the night, including Album of the Year for "Fearless". Meanwhile, the Grammy show saw an interesting lineup of performances trying to stretch the limits of artistic creativity on stage. These included P!nk's cirque de soleil like performance with the superstar wearing very little and suspended from the ceiling dripping wet. Or there was the Green Day American Idiot musical performance of "21 Guns" by the band as well as their Broadway cast. Add to that a nice tribute to Michael Jackson done by Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson, Celine Dion, Usher and Carrie Underwood, complete with 3-D effects.
There were also a few rap/hip-hop performances, with T-Pain & Jamie Foxx doing "Blame it on the Alcohol". They had Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash come out and play his solo from "November Rain" as the track got rowdier towards the end. One of the final performances of the night was introduced by Inglorious Basterd Quentin Tarentino, as Eminem, Lil' Wayne and Drake took the stage, minus K-West. The camera caught Taylor Swift dancing to "Forever" in the crowd several times, in a happy Grammy moment.
Here's the big winners for the 2010 Grammy rap categories:
Best Rap Album - Relapse by Eminem Best Rap Song - Run this Town by Jay-Z, Kanye West & Rihanna Best Rap Solo Performance - D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune) by Jay-Z Best Rap Performance by Duo or Group - Crack a Bottle by Eminem, Dr. Dre & 50 Cent Best Rap/Sung Collaboration - Run This Town by Jay-Z, Kanye West & Rihanna
Just days ago the talented young rapper Drake's (Aubrey Graham) latest track "Forever" hit the internet. It's a hot one as it not only features Drake rapping and singing but also Kanye West, Lil' Wayne and Eminem all adding tremendous guest verses. It's almost like a "Swagger Like Us" part 2, just missing TI & Jay-Z. Here's the lyrics for Drake's "Forever" featuring Eminem, Kanye West & Lil' Wayne (the self-professed martian).

Verse 4 Eminem: There they go, packin stadiums as Shady spits his flow, Nuts they go, macademian so ballistic whoa, We can make them look like Bozos, he's wonderin if he should spit this slow, F--k no, go for broke, his cup just runneth over, oh no He ain't had a buzz like this, since the last time that he overdosed, They've been waitin patiently for Pinnochio to poke his nose, Back into the game and they know, rap'll never be the same as before, Bashin in the brains of these ho's and establishin a name as he goes, The passion and the flame is ignited, you can't put it out once we light it, This shit is exactly what the f--k that I'm talkin bout when we riot, You deal with a group of villains who stand inside of the booth truth spillin' Until our true feelins come flyin out our mouth never mind it Payback motherf----r for the way you got at me hows it taste? When I slap the taste outta your mouth with the bass so loud it shakes the place I'm Hannibal Lecter so just in case you're thinkin' of savin' face You ain't gonna have no face to save by the time I'm through, play some Drake...
Chorus: It may not mean nothin to yall But understand nothin was done to me So I don't plan at stoppin at all I want this s--t forever mane, (ever mane...) I'm shuttin' sh-t down in the mall and tellin' every girl she's the one for me and I ain't even plannin to call, I want this s--t forever mane, (ever mane...ever mane...)
Eminem recently issued a dis track towards Mariah Carey in response to her latest song and video for "Obsessed". By now you've heard Eminem's "Bagpipes from Baghdad" which was full of verses talking about Mariah and hubby Nick Cannon. Apparently, Mariah dismissed the notion that her and Eminem ever got together, but Eminem tells a different tale. Since Mariah's "Obsessed" is burning up the charts so to speak, Eminem issued a not so radio-friendly response. Em's new song "Warning" kicks things up a notch into high gear as he brings out the full force dis track with no holdin back. Listen to "Warning" and check out the lyrical vengeance in the Eminem Warning Lyrics below...and oh yea, don't piss Eminem off either...
Warning Lyrics by Eminem
Only reason I dissed you in the first place, is cuz you denied seein me Now I'm pissed off-
Sit back homey relax, in fact grab a six pack, Kick back while I kick facts, Yeah Dre's sick track, perfect way to get back Wanna hear something wick wack? I got the same exact tat that's on Nick's back I'm obsessed now- Oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee? Wow Mariah, didn't expect ya to go balls out, B---h, shut the f--k up before I put all them phone calls out, you made to my house when you was wild'n out before Nick, When you was on my d--k and give you somethin to smile about, How many times you fly to my house? Still trying to count, Better shut your lyin mouth if you don't want Nick finding out You probably think cuz it's been so long if I had something on you I woulda did it by now On the contrary, Mary Poppins, I'm mixin our studio session down and sendin it to masterin to make it loud Enough dirt on you to murder you This is what the f--k I do Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures? However you prefer to do and that goes for Nick too f----t You think I'm scurred of you? You gonna ruin my career you better get one Like I'ma sit and fight with you over some slut b---h c--t that made me put up with her psycho ass over 6 months and only spread her legs to let me hit once, Yeah, what you gonna say? I'm lucky? Tell the public that I was so ugly that you f----n had to be drunk to f--k me? Second base? What the f--k you tell Nick, pumpkin? The second week we were dry humpin, That's gotta count for something. Listen, girly Surely you don't want me to talk about how I nutted early cos I ejaculated prematurely and bus all over your belly, and you almost started hurling and said I was gross, go get a towel you're stomach's curling. Or maybe you do. But if I'm embarrassing me, I'm embarrassing you, and don't you dare say it isn't true. As long as the song's getting airplay I'm dissin' you. I'm a hair away from getting carried away and getting sued. I was gonna stop at 16. That was 32. This is 34 bars. We ain't even third of the way through. Damn Slim. Mariah played you. Mariah who? Oh did I say ”whore”, Nick? I meant a liar too. Like I've been goin off on you all this time for no reason. Girl you out ya alcoholic mind, Check ya wine cellar, Look at the amounts of all the wine. Like I f-----n sit around and think about you all the time. I just think this s--t is funny when I pounce you on a rhyme. But f---k it now I'm bout to draw the line. And for you to cross it that's a mountain that I doubt you wanna climb. I can describe areas of your house that you wouldn't find on an episode of Cribs A blubber load ribs if I hear another word so don't go opening your jibs, Cuz every time you do it's like an overload of fibs, I ain't saying this s--t again, ho, You know what it is. It's a warning shot before I blow up ya whole spot Call my bluff and I'll release every f-----g thing I got Including the voicemails right before you flipped your top When me and Luis were tryin' to stick two CD's in the same slot (Slim Shady - ) (Slim Shady - ) (I love you) I love you too Let me whisper sweet nothings into your ear, boo. Now what you say? (It's nothing) Yea so what I'll do I'll refresh your memory when you said ”I want you” Now should I keep going or should we call truce? (You think you're cute, right? Hahaha) You bet your sweet ******* I do (I'm Mary Poppins, b) And I'm Superman, mmm (Mary P. Slim Shady) Comin' at you So if you'll still be my (babygirl) Then I'll still be your (Superhero, Wilma M.) Yeah, I'm right here (You like this) Nope. Not anymore, Dear. It cuts like a (knife) when I tell ya get a (life) But I'm movin on with mine Nick, is that your (wife) Well tell her to shut her mouth then I'll leave her alone If she don't (sing this script) then I'ma just keep goin (I see Mary Ann. Mary Ann's saying ”cut the tape, cut the tape”. Knife!)
According to multiple sources including NME.com, the whole Eminem getting teabagged by Bruno stunt at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards was staged. MTV's head writer Scott Aukerman cleared up gossip that said Eminem wasn't aware of the prank which saw him leave the audience angrily at the awards show.
From NME.com, Aukerman posted the following on his Tumblr account before later removing it:
"Yes, the Bruno/Eminem incident was staged," he wrote. "That's all anyone wants to talk about, so let's get it out of the way. They rehearsed it at dress and yes, it went as far as it did on the live show then."
In the incident which went down this past Sunday at MTV"s Movie Awards, actor/comedian Sacha Baron Cohen came flying into the venue above the audience, dressed as his new movie character, Bruno, in little more than some white feathery wings and a jock strap. At one point he became tangled up in his harness and wiring and asked to be lowered down, right into Eminem's lap. Eminem wound up with Bruno's ass in his face and was none too pleased, so it appeared.
Speculation had made it seem that Eminem was Punk'd by Sacha Baron Cohen, when in fact some say Eminem was mic'd up. The rapper appeared to get quite upset by the incident, ordering his crew to "get this M--------a off me" before storming out of the audience.
Rapper-Comedian Stunt: Eminem leaves Mtv Movie awards!
The 2009 MTV movie awards hosted by Andy Samberg definitely was entertaining this year. Host Samberg had some great bits including a digital short music video "Cool Guys Don't Look at Explosions (video/lyrics)" which also featured a cameo from SNL alum Will Ferrell as Neil Diamond. His intro was a montage of Samberg in various films such as "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Twilight". Another segment featured the likes of Leanne Rhimes, Chris Isaak and Forrest Whittaker performing various songs Samberg made famous. Presenters included the likes of Vanessa Hudgens, Jonah Hill, Sandra Bullock, Will Ferrell, Anna Farris and yes even Denzel Washington. Ben Stiller was presented an achievement award by Zac Effron, Kiefer Sutherland and Triumph the insult comic dog.
A musical medley performance was given by rapper Eminem, who did his recent hits "Crack a Bottle" and "We Made You" on stage. Later in the show, comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, dressed as the follow up character to Borat named Bruno made his crazy entrance from the ceiling as a white angel, wearing a jock strap with large wings, hanging from the ceiling. As he swooped over the audience he "accidentally" became tangled in his cables and harness and was lowered down into the audience, perfectly on top of Eminem. Eminem seemed less than enthused with the character's ass in his face and began letting out expletives to his entourage to "get this m-----a off me". After his crew had pushed Bruno around and off Em, the rapper got up and seemed to storm out of the audience saying "this is stupid. As always anything involving the guy who plays Borat (Sasha Baron Cohen) and Slim Shady is going to get crazy. Check out the clip below of Eminem teabagged by Bruno!
Twilight was the big winner of the night picking up the majority of the awards including Best Movie (voted on by MTV viewers), beating out High School Musical 3, the Dark Knight and Slumdog Millionaire. In another crazy unplanned moment Twilight actress Kristen Stewart drops her award as she nervously made it through her acceptance speech. Stewart and her co-star, rumored off-screen love interest Robert Pattinson also won the award for "Best Kiss" then teased the audience with a near kiss on stage. Sneak peak clips & trailers were also shown for both "Transformers 2" and the sequel to Twilight, New Moon.
All in all this was probably one of the more entertaining MTV Movie Awards in recent times. If you get the opportunity, make sure to TIVO, DVR or tape it (if people still use tapes).

3 AM Lyrics by Eminem
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
There's no escapin' There's no place to hide You scream someone save me But they don't pay it no mind Goodbye!
Verse 1: You're walking down a horror corridor It's almost 4 in the morning and you're in a Nightmare! it's horrible Right there's the coroner, waitin for ya To turn the corner so he can corner ya You're a gonner he's onto ya Out the corner of his cornea He just saw you run All ya want is to rest, cuz ya can't run any more ya done All he wants is to kill you in front of an audience While everybody is watchin in the party applaudin it Here I sit while I'm caught up in deep thought again Contemplatin' my next plot again Swallowin' a colladopin while Im noddin in and out on the ottoman At the Ramada Inn holdin' onto the pill bottle then Lick my finger and swirl it round the bottom and make sure I got all of it Wake up naked at McDonald's wit Blood all over me, dead bodies behind the counter s--t Guess I musta just blacked out again, Not again
Chorus (twice): It's 3 AM in the morning Put my key in the door n' bodies layin all over the floor and I don't remember how they got there But I guess I musta killed em, killed em Verse 2: Sittin nude in my living room, it's almost noon I wonder what's on the tube, maybe they'll show some boobs Surfin every channel until I find Hannah Montana Then I reach for the Aloe n' Lanolin Bust all over the wall panel and dismantlin Every candle on top of the fireplace mantle n' Grab my flanel and my bandana then Kiss the naked mannequin man again You can see him standin' in my front window if you look in I'm Mr. Hooligan who's used to usin hallucinogens Causin illusions again, brain contusions again Cutting and bruising the skin Razors, scissors and pins, Je-sus when does it end? Phases that I go through Days that I'm so confused Days that I don't know who Made these molecules do Me hey what am I gon' do? Hey the prodigal son The dibaolical one Very methodical when I slaughter them...
Chorus: It's 3 AM in the morning Put my key in the door n' Bodies layin all over the floor n' I don't remember how they got there But I guess I musta killed em, killed em
I said It's 3 AM in the morning Put my key in the door n' Bodies layin all over the floor n' I don't remember how they got there But I guess I musta killed em, killed em
She puts the lotion in the bucket She puts the lotion on the skin aroused it gets now hose again
Verse 3: I thug and I slash lights and gasp Last night was a blast I can't quite remember when I had that much fun off a half pint of the Jack My last vic and a half A flashlight of Kim Kardashian's ass I remember the first time I dismembered a family member December I think it was I was havin drinks with my cuz And I wrapped him in Christmas lights pushed him into the stinkin tub Cut him up into pieces and just when I went to drink his blood I thought I ought to drink his bath water that oughta be fun That's when my days of serial murder manslaughter begun The sight of blood excites me, that might be an artery son Your bloodcurdlin' screams just don't seem to bother me none It's 3AM and here I come so you should probably run A secret passage way around here man there's got to be one Oh no there's probably none, he can scream all that he wants top of his lungs, there ain't no stoppin me from choppin him up
Chorus:
Cuz It's 3 AM in the morning Put my key in the door n' Bodies layin all over the floor n' I don't remember how they got there But I guess I musta killed em, killed em
I said It's 3 AM in the morning Put my key in the door n' Bodies layin all over the floor n' I don't remember how they got there But I guess I musta killed em, killed em
Yi-eee, a yi-owww Yi-eee, a yi-owww Yi-eee, a yi-owww

The Blueprint 3, Jay-Z's third studio album since ending his retirement in 2004, was scheduled for a December 2 release date. However, the album's only single "Jockin' Jay-Z (Dope Boy Fresh)," which was released two months ago, has yet to have a video and there has been little news about the album since.
The only confirmed information about the album is that Kanye West will be heavily involved with the project's production. There were many rumors that West would be the album's sole producer. However, there have been subsequent reports that Pharrell and possibly Timbaland will also be featured on the album's production.
The Blueprint album is set to feature the original T.I./Jay-Z/Kanye West/Lil Wayne track "Swagga Like Us", as well as a remixed version featuring Nas, Andre 3000, Young Jeezy and Jay-Z. Most production for the new album will come from Rocafella alum Kanye West. The album also marks Jay-Z's final album under Def Jam contract, before he moves to recording for Roc Nation under the new Live Nation record label.
Other noteworthy records coming soon are Kanye West's "808's & Heartbreak" and Ludacris' "Theater of the Mind" on November 25th. 50 Cent plans to release "...Before I Self Destruct" on December 9th, and there's rumors of a new Eminem album called "Relapse" possibly for December 23.
"Movies Rock" is a supplement that was sent out with the latest edition of Details magazine (the one with K-Fed on the cover). Inside, they take a look at the "50 Greatest Soundtracks Ever", the ones that "opened our ears and smashed our assumptions".
Can't argue with the top 2 by Prince & The Beatles. Purple Rain is definitely deserving of the top spot. It features the classic "When Doves Cry" which stands the test of time, even if MC Hammer tried to taint its image with his prayer-based rap. The Beatles also deserving and probably were a close second. After scouring the list of 50, just a few rap/hip-hop entries made the list: Crooklyn at #28, 8 Mile at #33 and Friday at #39.
While these are good offerings, there may have been an oversight on the part of the selection committee when it comes to hip hop movie soundtracks. If you've never heard the Juice Soundtrack, check it out. It's got classic rappers and classic songs, and is overall a greater compilation than the 8 Mile offering. It features the likes of Eric B & Rakim (classic "Know the Ledge"), Naughty By Nature, Too Short and EPMD. They may have based these albums on the success of a movie, which is why several other hip hop themed OST's were missing (Menace, New Jack City, and even High School High).
Here's rap music lyrics for the hit Eminem song, Lose Yourself. This song appeared as the theme music for Eminem's debut movie, 8 Mile, based on his life. It can be found on the Official 8 Mile Soundtrack.
Lose Yourself by Eminem 8 Mile Official Soundtrack
Intro: Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Verse 1 His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out He's choking, how everybody's joking now The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah! Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked He's so mad, but he won't give up that Easy, no He won't have it , he knows his whole back's to these ropes It don't matter, he's dope He knows that, but he's broke He's so stagnant that he knows When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's Back to the lab again yo This this whole rhapsody He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
Chorus by Eminem: You better lose yourself in the music, the moment You own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
Verse 2 The soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping This world is mine for the taking Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem It only grows harder, only grows hotter He blows us all over these hoes is all on him Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter Lonely roads, God only knows He's grown farther from home, he's no father He goes home and barely knows his own daughter But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water His hoes don't want him no mo, he's cold product They moved on to the next schmoe who flows He nose dove and sold nada So the soap opera is told and unfolds I suppose it's old partner', but the beat goes on Da da dum da dum da da
Chorus
Verse 3 No more games, I'ma change what you call rage Tear this motherf----g roof off like 2 dogs caged I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage But I kept rhyming and stepwritin the next cypher Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper All the pain inside amplified by the fact That I can't get by with my 9 to 5 And I can't provide the right type of life for my family Cause man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder Trying to feed and water my seed, plus Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna Baby mama drama's screaming on and Too much for me to wanna Stay in one spot, another day of monotony Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go I cannot grow old in Salem's lot So here I go is my shot. Feet fail me not cause maybe the only opportunity that I got
Chorus
Outro from Eminem: You can do anything you set your mind to, man
Seeing that Will Smith has a new movie coming out, "The Pursuit of Happyness", it's a good time to examine some rapper turned actor roles floating around...
1)Will Smith as Ali - Top actor easily, he was even nominated for the best actor grammy award, showing that Smith has great acting range. He's done other successful roles including "Men in Black" (1 and 2), "Independence Day" and "I, Robot". He got his start as himself on the hit TV show "Fresh Prince of Bel Air", which still airs on reruns on TV Land now and is still one of the funnier sitcoms around.
2)Ludacris in "Hustle N Flow" & "Crash" - Ludacris is showing that he can be a very promising actor. His performances in the aforementioned movies were both solid. He hasn't had many roles above the gangsta, hustler or criminal type character yet, so we aren't too sure what he's got. He also hosted SNL recently. Despite the show's recent downhill sketches, Luda held his own.
3)Ice T as Detective Tutuolo on Law and Order: SVU - Ice plays a rather straight role here; the tough-guy detective with street sense. He doesnt really show a ton of dynamic range, but he's been successful for many seasons now in this role and hasn't been "kicked off", so he can't be all that bad. Many love Ice as the hard-nosed street style cop in "New Jack City" as well. Ice has been mostly doing episodes of SVU lately, aside from his "reality project" on VH1.
4)2PAC - Would probably be up at the 2 spot if his life hadn't been cut so short. He's been in great roles in Poetic Justice, Above the Rim, Grid Lock'd and several others. RIP to a true legend in rap and entertainment.
5)Ice Cube & Eminem - tie - Cube hasn't exactly had a hugely successful role yet. "XXX" was a letdown in terms of cheesy, unbelievable special efx and the overall plot and revenue made. "Are We There Yet?" I have not seen and don't plan to, so I won't comment. Cube was in the hugely successful movie "Barbershop" so he does show promise as an actor, so keep an eye out for better roles in the future. Slim Shady received rave reviews off this performance, his only one so far. It should be interesting to see if he gives more in the future, or if this was his "1 shot". I wouldn't be surprised to see him doing more acting and even directing/producing in the future.
So can Will Smith turns in another solid performance in his latest film, opening, December 15, 2006 in theaters. He is also the most mainstream rapper of the list (in terms of household name/popularity, etc), but to leave him out of a valid discussion of the roots of hip-hop and especially its comedic side would be to ignore one part of hip-hop completely.
is entitled "We Made You", a solo track by Em which is an all out verbal dis of numerous celebrities who've made headlines. The
