After appearing on several tracks on Shady Records’ mixtape/album The Re-Up over a year ago, Bobby Creek has been seldom heard from. Recently, the Atlanta native with HipHopDX at the A3C festival to discuss his current situation at Shady Records:
“Everything’s beautiful, man. Em’s working on his next project, and everybody’s getting’ geared up for that. So everything’s beautiful.” Creek continued, “I’ll say this…everybody over at that label takes music seriously. They’re perfectionists, and they understand that first impressions are everything. If our projects take a little longer than people would like, just know that we’re making impactful [sic] music so we can make the impression we need to make. The music is going to be worth it for the fans – the wait will be worth it.”
The rapper spoke on his upcoming projects as well. “I’m working on A Brilliant Mistake, Em is working on his LP, and we’re having talks about possibly doing a ‘Re-Up 2.’ My mixtape series Anthem 2 Da Streetz…volume 3 [is] coming out soon, sooner than everything else. Shady Records, we got a lot comin’. I can’t speak on everything because I don’t want to spoil the movie for ya’ll – this is a motion picture. There’s a lot to look forward to. D12, they’re working. Obie [Trice], he’s working. We’re all working.” As for a release date for his album, Creek offered only that the label is “pushing for a…fall release.”
Finally, Bobby Creek addressed rumors about label head Eminem’s supposed massive weight gain. “[There] must be two [Eminems], because the Em I just saw is in perfectly good shape. [I] saw him recently playing a pickup basketball game, so I don’t know much about the 250-pound Em; I missed that, I didn’t see that guy. No truth to those rumors whatsoever.”
“He’s focused, basically,” said Creek of Eminem. “He understands he’s been away for a while, and that he’s got to come back that much harder. He’s focused – 110 percent. Y’all should expect that; he’s been away for a while, and he’s got a statement to make.”

Simply check his collection of freestyles…hopefully coming soon: a full review of Eminem’s freestyle show, the last fm, disc 1!
Stay tuned:)

I am quite happy with myself and often get compliments about my skin and shape. So I decided to share a few beauty secrets with you today:)
A 21st century anorexic, celebrity driven society tends to promote a cosmetic surgery trend that often minimizes the risks taken by people who are tempted to use it as often as needed.
In a world in which Botox injections and plastic surgery have become automatic, I have pretty good news for you!
Drop your expensive creams in the trash, and definitely forget about cosmetic surgery. There are other (and safer ways) to keep beautiful and in shape. The very good news is that it will cost less to your purses, ladies, so rejoice with me!
Some of you might not believe me, but you actually don’t need chemically composed creams, nor big modifications to your nose or breasts to look great and feel great.
Think twice: did the former generations need artificial products to look good? But even in ancient times, as far as the Antiquity, very good looking women were found and even portrayed as an eternal witness of their times.
Centuries after centuries, some good informed people have been using the benefits of a hollistic life style, thanks to familial secrets or well known traditions.
Let me tell you: Mother Nature possesses the most amazing (and cheapest gifts you could dream about).
While I do consider that one could barely look really look beautiful and balanced without cultivating a part of inside beauty, I also consider that you have to take care of your body and shape.
Taking care of yourself (without falling into the narcissic category of despicable and vain people) is one of the most important things. If you want other people to like you, you have to like yourself first, which doesn’t take place without a little bit of self- attention.
Mens sana in corpore sano
My first advice, before offering my beauty tips is to follow Roman’s wisdom that consists of a good balance between physical exercise and intellectual training. If you want to be good looking, you will have to move your body.
No matter what kind of sport you prefer, just pratice whatever you like.
Enough sleep
Don’t forget (any model will confirm you that) to sleep at least 8 hours a night. No matter how old you are ( age ain’t nothing but a number anyway), if you sleep enough, your skin will look perfect when you wake up.
Exfoliate regularly, use a good dose of hydrating products to clean your skin, nourish it sufficiently
The lists of products I will name are accessible to the lowest budgets, so keep smiling.
Unlike chemical creams and other chemically composed crap with parabens and sodium lauryl sulfate, they are a 100% natural. You will find most of them in your cupboard!
To exfoliate my skin, I simply use water and sugar that I scrub for a few seconds on my face. As strange as it might sound to you, I never ever used any cream; all I apply on my face before applying a make up foundation is argan or olive oil.
Sometimes, I alternate with lemon, depending on my skin’s aspect ( you are able to see if it needs an astrigent or not).
To clean it, I like using rose essence. First of all it smells very good and secondly, it has a very high hydrating power. In short it is VERY GOOD and RECOMMENDED for your skin.
The face masks I use most are either honey masks I apply for around 15 minutes or muds of Massada ( I highly recommend it to you, it is rich in minerals, so VERY GOOD AND NOURISHING).
Take care of your hair
I know not everybody will agree with me, but try to avoid chemical hairdyes. Those are very dangerous and increase the risk of cancer bladder after a few years of use.
The best way to take care of your hair is henna. 100% pure organic henna is inoffensive and very good for your hair. Unlike a common opinion, henna is not only for people who intend to dye their hair red or black. A lot of shades do exist, that are even available via the internet.
You can even create shades of your own composition.
Also, I’d strongly advice anybody to use organic shampoos instead of chemical shampoos. This will give your hair more shine and make it look far better.
I sincerely hope that those few advices will be helpful to most of you readers.

This pic will take you back to the early 90’s in Detroit…this is the Bassmint crew Marshall Mathers used to hang out with…It includes his high school friend Mike Ruby aka Manix and Chaos Kid, who played an important role in defending Eminem against Benzino’s accusations.

Christian Mathis aka Trick Trick is a hard working emcee with strong working ethics. His characteristic dark, gritty voice and inventive, rough musical background that is so typical to the Goon Sqwad crew make the man unique in the world of hip hop.
Although he became more notorious thanks to his Welcome To Detroit video featuring Eminem, Trick Trick’s talent is not limited to his Eminem collaboration. Trick Trick’s hip hop underground work goes back to the early 90’s.
To those who barely heard about the brilliant Detroit emcee, I’d highly recommend to check The People Vs, a remarkable CD that totally enlightens Christian Mathis’ craft.
Based on a raw musical background made of violins and dark bells, Trick Trick’s hard worked on video features his crew and a bunch of gifted dancers. Follow the certified Detroit gangsta in his ardent recommendations to his folks: if you want to get paid, you gotta sweat for it.
During the whole video, you will appreciate Trick Trick’s charisma. The true Detroit representative perfectly knows how to captivate your attention.
I like the authentic enthusiasm of the dedicated emcee who remains true to his City and to hip hop.

Detroit underground emcee Trick Trick has a new website…please check the brilliant artist here.
Don’t forget to watch his Let’s Work video!

With their raw, ‘stomp em out’ spirit straight outta Detroit City, the powerful I Dash ( formerly known to most listeners as I-Mac) trio composed of Hash aka Hashous Clay, Zohezie and Reag totally increased their musical power. Already known for their powerful punchlines, their crazy flow and their raw, hardcore instrumentals with a slight metal influence, Hashous Clay and their crew are ready to totally knock you out.
Some enhanced instrumentals are ready to produce hammering sounds while introducing you to The Shining, a powerful, brand new track. Raspy, grittty voices produce a contrast effect with the loud musical background. Slowly the trio’s dark voices will advance like dark clouds in the sky, break out like a deluge, eventually pouring down your ears like a tempest of words, going straight to the target of overwhelming victory.
You will probably like the rhythmic of the song and the conquerror spirit of our trio as well.
We N2 Buildin is a song of character that expresses unity. Built on a dark musical background, the song offers some interesting perspectives about the trio’s musical performances. Hash unleashes some good lyrical power. His partners in crime totally match into the song. I loved it!
Keyboard sounds introduce Real Superstar while Hash sends his powerful vocal ‘S’ uppercut. Dark and light work together in terms of instrumentals, letting the strength of the artist’s power take over, opening on a luminous stage picture of almightyness.
Welcome to the D…Hashous Clay and his crew are representing their city with pride.
Let It Bump can be seen as a continuation to the wonderfully powerful Ruthless Aggression mixtape. The trio is vocally powerful. The violin background combined with the keyboards offers an offensive and dirty D atmosphere as well.
Check them I Dash crew out. They are really worth it!

My two cents to the subject: this doesn’t wonder me in the least! If you think I am just talking nonsense, please read my “backstage” experience back in 2004…I had some documents to hand out to the D12 members. Despite my valid backstage pass, the manager and co would only let teenage girls in. Please stop dreaming…those people are really not who you think they are!
The manager of EMINEM’s offshoot group D12 has been arrested on suspicion of sexually assaulting two teenage girls.
Jeremy Nathaniel Geffen is expected to be arraigned on Monday (17Mar08) on felony charges.
Los Angeles police claim the alleged assaults took place at Hollywood parties and at Geffen’s home, with one of the 16-year-old girls stating she was assaulted in December 2006 and again a month later (Jan07).
Geffen’s attorney, Danny Davis, tells the Los Angeles Times newspaper that he “strongly respects” his client’s “presumption of innocence.”

I-Mac, the Detroit trio belong to my favorites. Detroit emcee Hash has released a bunch of hot tracks I will review for my readership soon…please stay tuned!
Listen to Hash’s brand new music here.
Due to a very busy schedule, I will be posting less often…please be patient…I keep the fire of my passion for music and writing pretty much alive, as always:)

Detroit’s two most prominent emcees, Royce Da 5’9” and Eminem, have officially resolved their longstanding differences.
“I been talking to Em,” Royce revealed to HipHopDX.com exclusively today. “I didn’t even really wanna tell nobody [yet]. That was kinda like a secret thing. I don’t really know where it’s gonna go. Right now we’re just really focusing on repairing the friendship. That’s the most important thing to me.”
And what did the two old friends discuss in their first conversation in years? Not music, says Royce, “We just been talking about intangible shit like movies, our favorite movies, just realizing how much shit we always had in common. That first conversation we had we talked for like two hours, just about everything. We did a lot of catching up.”
What the two original “Renegades” have rumored to have newly in common is a reunion track produced by DJ Premier, but Royce explains that a new recording session between the two has yet to take place. “We haven’t really spoken in-depth [yet] about anything creative,” says Royce. “That session hasn’t happened yet. He told me he had some of the best shit recorded right now that he’s ever done in his life. I ain’t even got a chance to get with him to hear it yet. He ain’t heard what I got [new], and I ain’t heard what he got [new]. That’s kinda like what our friendship is, it’s always been real competitive. It’s always been that we motivate each other. And I think we at a point in our careers where we both need that.”
Em and Royce’s long overdue reconciliation was ironically initiated by one of Slim Shady’s newest rhyme partners taking shots at one of his oldest. “The Cashis thing was like a blessing,” says Royce of the recently released video interview wherein which Cashis threatens Royce over alleged insults made about Eminem. “That [situation] is what got me and Em [back] together. That’s why I didn’t really [address Cashis’ comments]. He was just talking, not knowing who he talking about. I wasn’t gonna move [on him] until I found out what Em’s thoughts were [on the situation]. We done been through too much.”
Royce’s current feelings about Eminem’s newest protégé are thankfully all positive. “My thoughts on Cashis is I don’t have no problem with him,” says Royce. “I think he felt he was doing good. He felt like he was ridin’ for Em. But I’m just glad it didn’t get to [be beef]. So if I see Cashis, I’ll show him nothing but love because Em vouched for him. He told me that Cashis said he was sorry, and I can’t really say nothing after that.”
Since squashing that potential beef via his reconciliation with Eminem, Royce has been hard at work putting the finishing touches on his highly anticipated next mixtape, The Bar Exam 2, hosted by Green Lantern, as well as his two forthcoming full-length releases, The Revival and Street Hop, both executive produced by DJ Premier. With all that on deck, Royce is sure to be a force to be reckoned with in ’08. “Trust me, man, it’s ‘bout to be crazy,” he aptly notes. “I’ma call [Eminem] today. I’ma stay on him and once we past… As soon as the creative part gets back into our relationship, I don’t know what’s gonna happen. I felt like I never had beef with him. It was more of a falling out between two brothers. It was just two brothers not speaking to each other for a minute. But now we speaking again. So sky’s the limit on what’s gonna happen from there.”
