“Coming out with an alias was part of Proof’s whole idea. Proof inspired him to create his alter ego, Slim Shady. Marky Bass said, ‘Yo, we got a call from a doctor!’”ĥ. Then, a couple weeks later, we get a call. We come back to Detroit, I have no fucking home, no idea what I’m gonna do. This kid from Interscope, Dean Geistlinger, walks over and he asks me for a copy of the CD.
I’m like, ‘What the fuck do I do?’ I was devastated. I went through a lot of people to get through to the end, and then he walked away while I was rapping. I didn’t have anyone to battle! I’d never been in a situation like that before. When I rapped, he went and hid behind a video screen. “I went to the Olympics, got all the way to the end, and then lost to the last guy. He thought losing a rap battle would’ve ended his career, when it eventually got him signed with Dr. When I was writing it, I just thought, ‘Whoa, people are going to get sick of this because it goes on for so long.’”Ĥ. And when I first heard it, I was like, ‘Holy shit.’ But I didn’t know it was going to be so big. “I remember Mark The 45 King sent me that beat. He didn’t think people would like “ Stan” because it’s too long. It was going to be either “If I Can’t” or “In Da Club.” We were torn, so me, 50, Paul, Chris Lighty, and Jimmy Iovine decided to flip a coin.”ģ. “We couldn’t decide on the first single from Get Rich.
“ In Da Club” was chosen as 50 Cent’s first single by chance. It was some lawsuit from my mother, I think.”Ģ. You don’t need to physically serve someone anymore, like in the movies. They knew where I’d be, and they had to physically serve me. While I was there, I got served by a court processor. “Right after the first single came out, I did a signing at the Virgin Megastore in Times Square. He was served with a lawsuit from his mother at an album signing, right after his big break with “ My Name Is.” Again.Eminem has become the latest artist to annotate his work on Genius, adding over 40 annotations on some of his earliest work, some of his biggest hits, and even 50 Cent’s “In Da Club.” Here are the seven best things we learned from his notes.ġ. In the meantime, let’s give Beck all the grief so Eminem can win in peace. Perhaps they’ll get around to making it part of the telecast when Eminem is old enough to do a standards duet with whomever seems the best choice to reach The Young People (Blue Ivy?). (Hey, the genre that’s come define entire generations has only been around since the ‘70s. This year was no exception.īut Eminem’s continued dominance of the rap album honors also deserves scrutiny, even if the hip hop category isn’t part of the televised awards show. Kanye spoke out because he’s frustrated with a Grammy voting body that too rarely honors rappers, R&B singers or artists of color in the top four categories, regardless of sales figures or cultural impact. Which brings us back to Sunday evening at the Staples Center. It’s that she’s a woman, meaning she belongs to a gender that’s never won that category, so why start now? Eminem was the natural choice. But there was a problem, and it wasn’t because she looked like Britney Spears channeling Nicki Minaj. There was another radio-friendly blond in the mix this year who threatened to dethrone Eminem, Iggy Azalea.
