Underground hip hop supergroup Slaughterhouse (consisting of former Bad Meets Evil member Royce Da 5’9″, Crooked I, Joe Budden, and Joell Ortiz) signs with Eminem’s Shady Records. I suppose they were in Drake’s “Forever” video for a reason. Also, this marks the first time Eminem will reunite with his former partner from Bad Meets Evil in years. Hear more about it from Royce Da 5’9″ here. via 2dopeboyz.
The caption to this video says: “Funny Indian singer guy makes his own dance from hearing gunshots”. Haha. I don’t know if that was actually the sound of gunshots, but it is funny nonetheless.
Via RapRadar. Looks like the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA has confirmed via Twitter that he will be producing the GZA’s entire album entitled Liquid Swords 2. I think a lot of people have been waiting for a full album produced by the RZA. It should be a good year for the return of 90s era hip hop. If you haven’t noticed, Raekwon’s Only Built For Cuban Linx came out… and did surprisingly well. Capone N Noreaga’s War Report 2 is coming out this Summer. Sadat X’s Wild Cowboys 2 is coming out… I think everyone is trying to recapture that 90s era sound. Should be interesting.

Eminem drops a freestyle over Drake’s “Over” and Lloyd Bank’s “Beamer, Benz, or Bentley” prior to the release of his first official single “Not Afraid” debuting this Thursday on Angela Yee’s Sirius/XM radio show. I’m glad Eminem is not using that weird accent anymore. via RapRadar.
