News: Eminem's "Relapse" In Danger Of Losing 2009 Debut Week Top Sales Honors

Written by Cyrus Langhorne

Eminem’s Relapse is in danger of losing its spot as the top-selling first-week album of the year to newcomer singer Susan Boyle. Her new album I Dreamed A Dream is en route to move over 500,000 copies in its first week in stores..

According to online reports, Em may have to settle for having the second best record of 2009.

U.S. music retailers say they are realizing Susan Boyle’s dreams, as her album “I Dreamed A Dream” is blowing up way beyond sales expectations. Label and distribution executives, meanwhile, project that based on early sales returns at the big box stores and pre-orders at direct marketers like Amazon and QVC, Boyle’s album is in contention to beat this year’s top debut-week seller, Eminem’s “Relapse.” That title scanned 608,000 units in the week ending May 24, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That week also represents the best overall sales week for an album this year. (Billboard)

Early calculations also show Boyle out-selling Rihanna’s comeback effort, Rated R.

That’s right, folks, the team of Barnett and Boyle, as in Columbia’s fearless leader Steve, will be #1 next week with a total that right now appears more than 600k and, dare we say it, could go even higher. Def Jam/IDJ’s Rihanna, whose new album Rated R has been getting stellar reviews in the L.A. and N.Y. Times and Rolling Stone, is on line for 180-200k. A couple of Cash Money/Universal Republic acts in Jay Sean and Birdman are the other new releases, both trending in the 30-35k range. (Hits Daily Double)

The rapper’s Relapse album easily took over the charts last May.

The big story, obviously, is Eminem, whose appeal remains strong enough to get him the year’s biggest debut at somewhere between 600k and 630k, leapfrogging Interscope labelmates U2, whose 484k is now the second biggest bow of ‘09. Both Method Man & Redman’s Blackout 2! and Busta Rhymes‘ Back On My Bullsh*t is set to sell between 60k and 65k. (Rumor Mill Chart Preview)

Last landing in Top 50 in early October, Em’s new album has sold over a million copies to date.

Grammy-winning rapper Eminem’s Relapse is still making noise on the charts as it moves down five slots to even things out at No. 50 with 12,100. Headed into his 21st week, the rapper’s comeback album has moved 1,461,500 records to date. (Sales Wrap)

Les Dirty Dozen répondent au allégations sur le diss de Canibus.

D12

Les potes d’Em répondent à la polémique qui circule à propos du diss de Canibus envers Shady où on entend les D12 par l’intermédiaire du rappeur Swifty Mc Vay qui dit que DZK (qui apparait sur le morceau) leur avait demandé de travailler avec eux au moment où il était associé à Cannibus sans leur en parler. Ainsi, Canibitch a prit un des versets des Dozen et l’a inséré discrètement au morceau.

Si Mr.Porter affirme que Em se fiche du diss de Canibus, il est probable que les D12 ne soient pas de cet avis.

Voila, c’est fini pour l’instant.

Bye, Stan.

Me.

hiphopReport: The Game Puts his Money on Hov in 50 Cent and Jay-Z Feud, Eminem to Re-Release 'Relapse' as 'Refill' Dosage, Jay-Z Scores Number One Hit with 'Empire State of Mind' with Video

Posted on 24hourhophop.com

The Game Puts his Money on Hov in 50 Cent and Jay-Z FeudNew York, NY – West Coast MC, The Game, has had his share of feuds with both Jay-Z and 50 Cent in the past, but according to him, it was all in good fun. Game has taken shots at both artists during some interesting times, where one responded and one didn’t, either way it never really got to a serious level. However, in this recent publicized feud that Beanie Sigel and 50 Cent has sparked up with Jay that has become somewhat of a media frenzy, The Game added his two cents practically putting all bets on Jay-Z.

During an interview with Complex.com, The Game insisted that Hov would come out the victor in this battle if it came down to lyricism. These were his comments:

“Jay-Z will fuck 50 up in a battle! It would be so fast and over with. 50 is funny, but Jay is witty. Jay-Z is not to be toyed with. If he responds, if he feels like you’re really pissing him off and he responds, he’s gonna fuck you up! He would fuck me up, I’m just glad he didn’t respond, so I didn’t have to go dig in my bag and try to fuck him up.

I definitely think that Jay-Z didn’t come at me like he came at any other rappers because I definitely would have been more disrespectful. Once you start a beef with me, you better be ready to go the whole 12 rounds. I will try to chew your fuckin’ ear off, like Mike Tyson. I’ll do it and I think he knew that — I’m disrespectful! So Jay, he did the right thing and just kinda let it die down and I let it die down ’cause it wasn’t anything, really. It was fun and I really admire Jay’s career. I just really don’t care too much for the man himself.”

At one point in time, Game has even apologized to 50 about everything that occurred over the past and admitted that G-Unit was a time in his life that he really enjoyed and would work with 50 again if the time came around, 50 however, will not. With this recent feud, Game states that 50 is just taking a page out of his book when he began taking shots at Hov:

“I already did that Jay-Z thing, 50’s just doing what I’m doing. Nobody went at Jay; I went at Jay. Now everybody wants to get at Jay — not saying anything about Beanie Sigel, that’s personal and I stay out of that. He’s just a man and he’s got all the right in the world, but I feel like I did something that people have been wanting to do, but everybody is scared because Jay-Z is so lyrically inclined to cut your throat and your career in half that nobody wanted to do it. But me? I just don’t give a fuck sometimes.”

At press time, The Game has been recently working in the studio with Dr. Dre in the completion of his forthcoming album ‘The R.E.D. Album.’ That fourth studio album has been set to be released on February 16, 2010 with distribution by Interscope Records.

I agree with The Game 100%, on the real, anyone that would go toe to toe with Jay-Z has a huge competition in front of them. Lyrically, Jay would destroy 50 and no one should disagree. Either way, it is also good to see that Game is back in the studio again with Dre and with Interscope, I’m actually looking forward to the release of his next album.

Eminem to Re-Release ‘Relapse’ as ‘Refill’ Dosage

Los Angeles, CA – Eminem has always been artist who keeps his promises to his fans. News coming of the Shady/Aftermath camp of another Relapse album, not the sequel, but a re-release he has creatively entitled ‘The Refill.’ According to Em, he wants to include new material that wasn’t present or recorded during the release of the first ‘Relapse.’

The Detroit MC recently spoke with RapRadar.com and stated that ‘The Refill’ will include the tracks ‘Forever’ that he did with Wayne, Drake, and ’ Kanye, ‘Taking My Ball,which was recorded for the ‘DJ Hero: Renegade Edition’ game that he did it Jay-Z, and three newer tracks.

These were his comments:

“I want to deliver more material for the fans this year like I originally planned. Hopefully these tracks on The Refill will tide the fans over until we put out Relapse 2 next year.”

Even though the sequel to his ‘Relapse’ series won’t be out until next year, he did share some information into the album with DJ Tony Touch during an interview on Shade 45. He stated that the second will be very different from the original:

“[The album] is gonna be a lot different than people expect. As far as the contrast from the last album to this one, I got a couple of tracks with [D12's] Mr. Porter, two tracks with him so far. Four, possibly five with Just Blaze. The overall basis of this record, I went back to songs that are more emotionally driven. The last record I made, I think I was concentrating more on spitting. On this album, I feel like there’s some of that, but I went back to songs with [feelings] to them as opposed to just rap records.”

At press time, ‘Relapse: The Refill’ has been set to be released on December 21, all according to Interscope.

Keep posted to 24hourhiphop.com for more updated news on Eminem and ‘Refill.’

I was looking forward for this year for him to release the sequel, but I guess him being Em, he must have something up his sleeves. With production from Just Blaze, I can imagine how he will sound on a Blaze beat, it would be quite original.

Jay-Z Scores Number One Hit with ‘Empire State of Mind’ with Video

New York, NY – Even with all the negative news surrounding Jay-Z of late concerning 50 and former Roc member Beanie Sigel, it seems as though none of that is actually affecting him as he’s not even entertaining it. But honestly, why should he? His New York anthem, ‘Empire State of Mind’ has been receiving rave reviews from critics and all his fans. As of this past Thursday (November 19), the record hit number 1 on the Billboard hot 100 charts. Jay-Z has been on the charts before on features, but this marks the first time his album track has hit number one on the Billboards.

The newest NYC anthem has been circulating all over the place as both Jay and Alicia Keys have been requested to perform the hit record literally everywhere. They first performed it together at the MTV Video Awards of this year, then at the Yankee/Phillies World Series game, and again after the Yankees won at the Bronx parade, to recently performing it at the American Music Awards, where it was a huge hit. The record is literally been performed at almost every major location, putting Hov at an all time high. Guaranteed the list will continue to grow.

Jay-Z recently stated the message that the song was expressing:

“Really, ‘Empire State of Mind’ is about inspiration, it’s about hope. I think that’s what connects with people.”

And honestly, Alicia said it best NYC is the” Concrete Jungle where dreams are made of, there is nothing you can’t do.”

Mariah Carey Is Still Ready To Rumble w/ Eminem....

Mariah Carey likened Eminem to a boy rejected in a recent interview with late night host David Letterman.

“He continuously references me. I don’t know why so I wrote a song that’s really an anthem for all like little girls or kids that get their pony tails pulled and get abused,” Carey said on Late Show With David Letterman last night (November 13). “Because the boy is really in love with them and they can’t be with them.”

The singer was clearly noncommittal when asked if the song, “Obsessed,” was about the rap star.

“The song is not about anybody and yet it could be about anybody. You know? You never know,” she said.

Her husband Nick Cannon was taped backstage with a wide smile after her appearance.

The feud between Eminem and Carey has been ongoing.

Earlier this year, Eminem wrote a song called “The Warning,” which he alleged he had nude pictures of Carey.

Eminem raps, “You probably think if I had something on you I woulda did it by now, on the contrary, Mary Poppins, I’m mixing our studio session down and sending it off to mastering 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?”

Eminem and Mariah Carey were reportedly in a relationship in 2001.

Funny People (2009)

Scenarzysta i reżyser Judd Apatow (‘Wpadka’, ‘40-letni prawiczek’) o Funny People mówił tak:

‘Staram się zrobić bardzo poważny film, który będzie dwukrotnie zabawniejszy od moich poprzednich. Życzcie mi szczęścia!’

Życzyłem mu tego strasznie, bo lubię filmy w których maczał palce. Ale tym razem do szczęścia troszeczkę zabrakło.

Funny People mówi o słynnym komiku Goerge’u Simmonsie (Adam Sandler), który dowiaduje się, że jest śmiertelnie chory i zostało mu niewiele życia. Krótko po tym jak się o tym dowiedział spotyka młodego komika nieudacznika (Seth Rogen) i przyjmuje go na posadę asystenta. Po takiej nowinie wiadome jest, że życie ulega diametralnej zmianie i o tym jest ten film.

Jest to film obyczajowy z pewną dawką śmiechu, jednak nie tak solidną do jakiej przyzwyczaił nas Apatow. Chyba to przez mniejszą ilość scen gdzie koledzy, współpracownicy czy współlokatorzy wzajemnie się dissują i mówią śmieszne rzeczy. W tym filmie w większości zastąpiono ten element przez Stand-up comedy. A to mi zbytnio nie przypadło do gustu. Co do mojego ‘ulubieńca’ Adama Sandlera, to znów mnie pozytywnie zaskoczył. Jego standardowe wygłupy i zmiana głosów, w tym filmie miały być nieśmieszne a wręcz żałosne. Przynajmniej takie odniosłem wrażenie. Jego filmy (filmy w filmie, w sensie pseudo-filmy zrobione na potrzeby Funny People) są tragiczne (tragicznie śmieszne!), a jednocześnie podobne do prawdziwych filmów Adama Sandlera. Przez to wstawki z filmowymi osiągnięciami głównego bohatera są naprawdę śmieszne. Seth Rogen jest standardowy, postać Jasona Schwartzmana totalnie bossuje a młodsza wersja XXL Setha Rogena czyli Jonah Hill jest jak zwykle spoko. Widząc tu Erica Banę zaraz po obejrzeniu ‘Choppera’ byłem przeszczęśliwy, ale to prawdopodobnie tylko zasługa tego faktu.

kliknij by powiększyć.

Film ma wszystko: dobrą historię, śmieszne teksty, dobrą obsadę i masę gwiazd występujących jako cameo (piękny Eminem czy Sarah Silverman). Jest fajowy ale cholernie długi. I poza (jak dla mnie) za dużym naciskiem na stand-up comedy, jedyne czego mu brakuje to porządnego obcięcia. Jedno jest pewne, nie jest to kolejny film z Adam Sandler, ale przyjemna produkcja bardzo w stylu Apatowa.

Trailer de lançamento de Modern Warfare 2

Muitos aguardam anciosamente este game, e eu sou um desses, pois acredito que ele irá superar qualquer outro do gênero. Não considero tanto o multiplayer, pois meu foco mesmo é single player, e nesse quesito, Call of Duty nunca me decepcionou, sendo que Call of Duty 4 foi o auge de tudo que eu já tinha visto em jogos de tiro.

Você pode achar que estou exagerando um pouco, mas não, a série sempre foi muito competente em termos de apresentação de seus jogos, ou seja, gráficos, cenas, roteiro… Tudo isso muito bem elaborado, especialmente o roteiro. Por ser um jogo de tiro você se surpreende com os acontecimentos, com muitas cenas marcantes. Para provar que eles manjam de apresentar um jogo, aí está o vídeo de lançamento de Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Como pode ser visto, o vídeo contém muita ação, com cenas na favela no Brasil, muita explosão, e até uma cena no espaço. E tudo isso ao som de Eminem e Nate Dogg. Portanto, não resta dúvidas que a Activision investiu pesado na produção deste game, com um marketing violento também, e esperando que ele quebre todos os recordes da indústria de games com esse lançamento.

Só nos resta aguardar anciosos, e tendo a certeza de que será uma experiência excelente de jogo. O lançamento ocorre no dia 10 deste mês, para PC, Xbox 360 e PlayStation 3.
