Eminem will host a freestyle Rap battle this month in his Detroit hometown. The event, titled “Red Bull EmSee: The Road to 8 Mile” will be hosted by Dres The Beatnik, and will include judges Alchemist, Mr. Porter, and Eminem. Eight emcees from different cities will participate in the event on August 26. In addition, Hip Hop supergroup Slaughterhouse will perform at the event.
In other news, Diddy and other artists are slated to perform at the Justin Timberlake and Friends benefit concert in October. Diddy will be joined by his group Dirty Money, and other acts such as Salt-N-Pepa and T-Pain.
The event goes down in Las Vegas on Oct. 23.
Lastly, Yung Joc was cited by police when his neighbor’s dog was attacked by both of his pit bulls. According to reports, the Atlanta rapper said the dogs managed to escape his home after their electric collars malfunctioned. Joc apologized for the incident and said that he would pay for the dog’s medical expenses. (August 19)
UPDATE: Last night, 18 year-old emcee Saffal “FowL” Tall won the Eminem-hosted Red Bull event. FowL was the youngest competitor in the contest at Detroit’s famed Saint Andrew venue.

HE IS LADY GAGA OFF HIP HOP..SELL OUT MAINSTREAM POP…. IM DONE WITH EM….
NAS IS THE NEW BEST ALIVE… MANILY CUZ HE STAYS TRUE TO HIP HOP SOUL
I agree that em sucks but Nas sucks too and he has no soul he just licks mens balls. They are both gay little fags with wack music anyway. I can tell your an idiot with bad taste just by you mentioning that you fucking worthless coksuking turd
STFU TRICK Nas catalogue and versatility>>> your favourite rappers
What is this hip hop soul you’re referring to?
why you guys raggin on em so hard.. you don’t like his music dont listen to it… and em doin redbull, is because he wants to be apart of the battle like he said he wants to watch mc’s go through what he went through plus the guy fuckin drinks the beverage just like everyone else its no different then sport athletes or show biz people doin shit for major companies.. so stop hating on someone else’s life and worry about yours you ignorant cock suckers
i agree
Fuckin haters… This dude is making money on everything he can.. if u got a sponsor like that u know damn well u would sign. @ Get money ill buy the big can on ur behalf and two for me just cause ur a fuckin hater… Stack chips Bitches. Get urs em
you better re-read my message u dumb ass illiterate nigga. Holla back!
Damn, how many haters are on this website??? Em is one of the best of all time point blank, period…you can’t argue that or you will lose. Just keep on typing your hate mail while you bump your favorite rapper Soldier Boy….Peace!!!
how will they lose, coz groupies like you can’t accept the fact Em is no better than 100 other MCs I could name and his catalogue is hit n miss or rather hit miss miss miss miss some more hit…
jus coz he has sales doesn’t mean his shit fuckin with cats who aren’t
how the fuck is this selling out? hip hop fans are jokes sometimes. he is giving someone the opportunity to make it by going back to the roots just in case u guys didn’t notice, you need to make money at what you do. em raps, he fucking makes money off of it. just cuz you’re making money doesn’t mean your selling out. selling out means CHANGING what you’re about to make money. em didn’t change shit. still has the same passion for the game.

Wow DX, good reporting. It’s not like this battle took place over a month and a half ago.
…Oh wait…
it took place LAST NIGHT…stupid ass
em looks way better now
glad he got out the house
How’s this shit selling out?
“Selling out” is changing your style only for monetary gain
Jay-z is a good example-watering down his content and comprising his lyrical skill to sell records
Name an Eminem hit with weak lyrics
Even his corny pop tunes kill a lot of rappers’ wordplay
This Redbull shit is smart and beneficial No problemo
Stop hating!
no they don’t and his corny pop tunes are the definition of selling out Ass like That FUCK OUTTA HERE
STFU name 100 MC’s that Em is not better than. Go ahead I’ll wait
Slug, Brother Ali, El-P, Aesop Rock, MF Doom, Black Thought, Mac Lethal, Sadistik, Common, Nas, eLZhi, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, One Be Lo, Phonte, POS, Cage, Eyedea, Siah…hell, even Royce Da 5’9″ blows Em out of the water.
Don’t get it twisted, Em WAS pretty good back in the day, but his last 4 albums were all wack (Encore, Re-Up, Relapse, Recovery), well, Relapse was “ehhh…ok”, but all the others are absolute ass.
I bet you don’t even know 80% of the rappers I mentioned above.
Only people who don’t know shit about hip hop stress that Slim is the GOAT. He’s not even close, the only reason he’s held to such a high plateau is because the rest of the Commercial Rap circuit sucks so bad that, in comparison, he looks like a genius.
@The.Watcher… You gotta be kidding me. As a person who listens to nearly everyone in your first paragraph, I believe I can look at it as a whole as well as you can. True enough all these cats you list are super dope, but that doesn’t mean that Em is wack. I mean both sides can coexist. I know that Em’s main selling point in the beginning was that he was definitely a novelty in the MAINSTREAM rap game being a white guy. But once you get past that aspect and place Eminem strictly as a an emcee like those you listed in your paragraph, how can you tell me that he does not have a place as a dope lyricist? I can’t say that Em is the GOAT (Personally I don’t think Big or Pac are the greatest ever for that matter), but I can say that he is a dope lyricist. It’s really hard to listen to the way Eminem puts together words and say that, to a certain extent, he is not a genius.
em has been my favorite rapper since I was 12, he has it all- the multi-syllabic rhyme scemes, the flow, the story-telling ability, AND the main stream appeal. sure there are a few underground rappers who might be more lyrical, but then he has them beat at like 5 other statistics. people call him the goat because he’s the complete package,you can’t say it’s b/c he’s white anymore. seriously, that shit’s getting old.
So Run-DMC sold with My Adidas(?), you dudes on some other ish.
Em ain’t my fave but y’all some hatin ass niggas!!! Y’all act like you wouldn’t be doin shit like redbull fuck outa here. It’s obvious y’all some homo faggets prob mad cuz that redbull made y’all dick smaller.
@THE WATCHER….ALL THE ARTIST YOU NAMED IN YOUR 1ST PARAGRAPH ARE DOPE. AND I CAN BET THAT THEY ARE ALL FANS OF EMINEM. SO ALL IN ALL EMINEM IS YOUR FAVORITE RAPPERS FAVORITE RAPPER.
AND IM SURE HE DID THIS BATTLE THING CAUSE PROOF (R.I.P.) USED HOST BATTLES AT ST ANDREWS AND EM USED TO CRUSH THE BATTLE SCENE BACK IN THE DAY.
That’s some of the dumbest shit I ever read you makin assumptions based on ZERO evidence “Ems your favourite rappers favourite rapper ” that’s fuckin comedy I’ve never heard any rappers call Em the greatest even Royce who wears permenant Slim Shady pom poms has stated Elzhi is his favourite rapper…
Dissin FEMALE popstars makin songs like Ass Like That Real slim shady etc are corny as fuck period
