You all know that I don’t always have a permanent internet connexion, so I would like to wish a dear friend and fellow writer a HAPPY BIRTHDAY in advance. Her Birthday is on November the 17th, so
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DONNA KSHIR…
All the best to you and your family…may God bless you in adundance:)

We live in a complex society in which fakeness and hypocrisy are commonly admitted under the mischievous disguise of « social behavior ». The most naïve victims of such behaviors are the most likely to fall into hypocritical people’s traps and to get misguided as well.
Many people affect to flatter you and to tell you things that will caress your ears and you senses. Some of them will advice you nicely, watch you follow their advices and laugh secretly at your demise.
So let me ask you a question. Who is your real friend in life: the person whose mouth spreads words sweet as honey and who tells you exactly what your ears expect to catch or, on the contrary, the person who will tell you something you don’t like, but that is the very truth about your present situation?
No contest: the person telling you the truth- whether you like it or not- is a true friend.
I happened to lose friendships for telling people the truth about their current situation and trying to prevent them from making big mistakes (the main reason is that I have been through similar situations in the past).
Sometimes it is worthless to advice people who won’t listen. In that case, let them advance and fall into the trap clever foxes have prepared for them. Anyway, didn’t you accomplish your duty in warning those deaf people?
I came to the conclusion that only true friends are able to appreciate true friend’s advices. Those who don’t want to listen to you when you are giving them a serious warning against an imminent danger didn’t value your friendship enough to listen to you carefully. Never mind if they fall: they weren’t worth your friendship anyway!

Fuck Mariah Carey…she is the kind of superficial, talentless singer I fully despise…lol, just my two cents to the topic…
Eminem has used his “uncensored hip-hop channel” on Sirius Satellite Radio to blast Mariah Carey for denying they dated.
“Yes, me and Mariah did have a relationship for about a good six, seven months,” Eminem said recently on his Shade 45 channel, according to the Detroit News. “(But) it didn’t work. I wasn’t really into what she was into; our personalities collided. She’s a diva, and I’m a little more regular, I guess.”
The 34-year-old rapper excoriated Carey, 36, in a tirade. “I can never deny her talent, but the fact that she denied we ever had something, that’s bad,” he said.
Eminem met Carey in 2001 to discuss a possible collaboration. Asked the following year if the pair had dated, he told Rolling Stone, “There’s truth to that. But on the whole personal level, I’m not really feeling it. I just don’t like her as a person.”
Asked the same question by Larry King in December 2002, Carey said, “I hung out with him, I spoke to him on the phone. I think I was probably with him a total of four times. And I don’t consider that dating somebody.”
Eminem celebrated the second anniversary of Shade 45 in October. On Oct. 25, he premiered a new track from his upcoming CD, Eminem Presents: The Re-Up, on the channel.
The album is due in stores on Dec. 5.

US, November 6, 2006 – It’s old news that on December 6th, 2006, Eminem is releasing Re:Up, a mixtape styled CD featuring a host of Shady artists ranging from Stat Quo to Bobby Creekwater, Ca$his and D12
While Eminem appears on a number of the tracks included on the compilation, it is not an official Eminem album.
But fans shouldn’t fret too much considering that Em himself not only designed, but also illustrated the cover of the album.Rapper. Producer. Actor. Illustrator. Eminem is quickly shaping up to be a quadruple threat within the entertainment world.
We managed to snag a sneak peek at the cover and naturally felt obligated to share it with y’all.
Enjoy!

R+B star AKON understands why he felt like someone was watching him from the shadows of his new video shoot for SMACK THAT – the spirit of the murder victim buried beneath his feet was in the room. The Senegalese LONELY hitmaker felt an eerie presence throughout the shoot in an abandoned Downtown Los Angeles hotel – and now he knows why. He explains, “A dead body was discovered underneath the structure’s floorboards. “Some weird stuff was happening that whole weekend. I think it was a haunted hotel or something.” WENN photographer CHARLIE STEFFENS, who covered the shoot, admits he “creeped out” by the “vibe” in the hotel. He says, “I felt a weird vibe the moment I walked into that part of the hotel… It was an indescribable creepiness.”

Rap superstar Eminem has cancelled his retirement plans and is making a new album, according to hip hop pal Akon.
The Lonely hitmaker collaborated with Eminem on new single Smack That, and claims the credit for convincing him to make a comeback.
Akon reveals, “Eminem told me he was getting bored with everything, which is why he took a break. But he’s back working on an album and I’ve got some records ready for him to use on it.
“I know him through (rapper) Obie Trice and we’ve talked about doing something together for so long, but our schedules made it impossible. It was our chemistry that got him out of retirement.”

Rapper Eminem made a special appearance Friday on Sirius Satellite Radio’s Shade 45 Station to celebrate its second year on the air.
SOHH.com reported that Eminem counted down his favorite hip-hop artists and their songs on Lord Sear and Rude Jude’s Shade 45 program “The All Out Show.” Eminem reportedly revealed the artists that he said had influenced his career the most.
Shade 45 has reportedly amassed a huge following since its introduction in 2004.
SOHH said Eminem was recently cleared of misdemeanor domestic violence charges brought last month by his niece, who is under his guardianship.

RIP Proof, Mudd and Thyme’s characteristic dark bass notes and catchy beats, a combination of hardcore and syncopated lyrics, raw and raspy voices are Detroit hip hop connoisseurs’ delight. The trio created some good tracks in the early 90’s.
Among those tracks, the song Crazy. The pornographic accents of the song might shock some puritan mentalities, but hip hop lovers will probably appreciate the song to the fullest.
The song, that is full of dirty descriptions, is beautifully enhanced with RIP Proof’s raspy voice and the rhythmic beats. Lyrically the song enlightens the trio’s skills. The monotony of the guitar notes contrasts with the rapid drum beats while the sudden interruption of the artists’ voices generate an overall impression of surprise. Crazy track dedicated to a girl nicknamed « Crazy ».
Thyme Solo allows the listener to fully appreciate Thyme’s extra rapid delivery. Get caught in the middle of a lyrical spiral and feel the passion of a man who lives for the love of hip hop. I recommend you Thyme Solo by any means.
Trademark has been featured on Da Shady Spot mixtape 2005. It is a beautiful example of what hip hop masters can do. Overheated lyrics will make the listener feel the struggle and the dedication to the rap game. The well handled track is an astute composition of swinging beats, a mastered flow and good lyrics. Taste it with delight!
During the last decade, 5ELA has been too much slept on. The talented Detroit group definitely deserves more recognition from the world.

Since the announcement of the preparation of Dr Dre’s long awaited Detox album, many people made a lot of speculations about how the album should or would look like.
Dr Dre himself let the eager listeners literally starve out of hunger, giving them- from time to time- a little breath of air by creating Detox alike mixtapes. One of them is the less known Pretox I had the chance to listen to in 2005, the second one is the Millenium Of The Aftermath, whose title might be Detox, but that isn’t the real Detox album.
I wish I could take my phone, ring the notorious Dr Dre and tell him to hurry up with the real Detox. Since I can’t promise to do that to my readers, I will prompt to review Dr Dre’s Millenium Of The Aftermath instead.
The Millenium Of The Aftermath’s colorful introduction is rich of many artists’ voices including Eminem, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent and of the Dre 2001 flavor. The one and only D-R-E is about to speak out, so shut up and listen!
My Life featuring D.O.C is an interesting remix in which Dr Dre tells his story in the Cpt since the beginning.
Still Dre starts in an offensive way. Light instrumentals contrast with hammering drum beats on the Still Dre lyrics combining Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg’s talents. The new melody totally fits with the well known Still Dre lyrics.
Put It On Me is a well handled Dr Dre – DJ Quick collaboration. Nostalgic sounding female vocals are married with Dr Dre’s hardcore lyrics. The instrumentals totally enhance the hardcore explicit track where both artists’ talents shine like the sun on the beach in the middle of the Summer.
Let Me Ride is started with some Spanish vocal that are then mixed up with the traditional G funk sound and numerous keyboard sounds. Like the astute master cook Dr Dre actually is, the skilled artist spices up the track with various sounds, enhances the taste with different style composures in order to keep his listeners hungry for more. The listeners will testify that year after year, they appreciate Dr Dre’s musical dishes more and more.
Life As An Outlaw is based on a gunshot musical background. The dark and unsafe atmosphere is provided to you by the Dr Dre and his accomplice Slim Shady. Let both cow boys entertain you with a Far West flavor. The lyrical part is fully mastered. I enjoyed the story telling dimension of the song to the fullest.
This Is How We Do is a remix of the well known Game-50 Cent collaboration.
Crocked Cops will transport you into the Compton hood brutal environment. The female vocals reinforce the struggling atmosphere of black men fighting against the cops. Welcome to hell. Welcome to the world of racial discrimination and unfair trial when you were born with the « wrong skin color ».
Bitches Ain’t Shit is a rhythmic track built on keyboard sounds and
Catchy drum beats in which Dr Dre disses « bitches and hoes ».
Blaaw is a Dr Dre- Hitman collaboration. Piano notes, scratches, a dark bassline totally fit with the hostile lyrics from two skilled emcees who will erase haters instantly. Say your prayers and be ready to get shot by their lyrical bullets.
Aftermath combines Eve, Stat Quo, 50 Cent and Busta Rhymes’ participation. I didn’t feel that track too much to be very honest, because it lacks originality in my opinion.
Higher is lead by The Game. Hammering piano mixed up with numerous violins suggest some gun talk. The Game will take you for a ride to Compton. Enjoy the West Coast style and the passion that prevails in this song.
If I Get Locked Up Tonight is the kind of Eminem-Dre songs that I particularly like. Offensive, inventive, built on a rich musical background, hilarious, murderous, what do you want more from Slim Shady?
That’s What It Is is an interesting patchwork made of a trio between Biggie, Eve and Tupac. Piano, keyboards, violins, swinging drum beats, hot lyrics, a rapid flow delivery will allow the listeners to discover a new dimension of good quality gangsta rap. Don’t sleep on this track.
From Tha Bottom is Stat Quo’s philosophical reflection about the impact money has on an artist’s behavior.
Globally, Dr Dre managed to increase our hunger with the various panel of styles and artistic collaboration The Millenium Of The Aftermath has to offer. However, I hope that the real Detox will drop in a near future for us to taste its subtle flavor with delight.
