So this is the New Year: Like the "Y2K-type bug" that hit thousands of Microsoft Zune players as the ball dropped in Times Square, the idea of a track teaming Eminem with Dr. Dre and 50 Cent feels, well, strangely familiar. And, speaking of balls, here's Slim Shady talking about his again. We actually heard a portion of this song last month, when it was called "Number One" and showed up on Big Mike and DJ Neptune's 4th Quarter Pressure Pt. 2 mixtape. Back then, the rapping was all Marshall Mathers, with Dre limited to manning the knobs (um, nullus?) and no Mr. Cent in sight.This time the rubber-grabbing party hook isn't any different-- catchy, if not exactly special-- and Eminem's colorfully juvenile gross-out rhymes are still enjoyable as far as they go. Dre's production doesn't have the glinting club-rap minimalism of his work on new 50 Cent single "I Get It In", synths and keyboards instead bubbling like VIP-room champagne over a relaxed midtempo beat. And it's good to hear Dre's deliberate boom again, seriously. But did he have to bring up something as forever 1990s-linked as Waco? 50's King Kong, and he doesn't "give a fuck"... obviously. Still, some people will probably say they really like this, a prospect that almost makes me feel young again. (via OnSMASH)MP3:> Eminem [ft.

For an MC whose big shot came through battle rap, there’s a profound irony in Eminem’s greatest opponent now being himself. Since releasing his great but not-quite-classic fourth LP, The Eminem Show, in 2002, Em’s faced off against his own worst impulses as steadily dented his legacy with awful albums.

For many years, Michigan Central Station, the iconic Detroit train station that opened in 1914, has been shut down and abandoned. The station shut down in 1988, and it spent decades decaying as different ownership groups announced and then gave up plans for the facility. The station, now owned by Ford, has been renovated over the past few yearas...
