New hip-hop joints to hold you over for the week. You’ve probably already heard the new Eminem joint by now, but if not, enjoy (I’m still a bit torn on it myself). Stay tuned for new joints next Sunday, and scattered throughout the week.

BBC Radio 1 DJ interviews Eminem for the first time since Encore ...

Rap artist Eminem told Zane Lowe of the BBC that on November 4, 2008 he will be casting his vote for Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama.

Eminem has seen the top of the mountain, and at this point, he's happy to let someone else take his perch. Despite a mega-platinum run earlier in the decade that saw him rising to the pinnacle of rap superstardom, the MC told BBC Radio host Zane Lowe over the weekend that he's had it with fame.

Just when I thought the state of (c)rap was as bad as it could get

Eminem's First Sit Down Interview In Over 4 Years: Has No Desire For Fame. Speaks On Working With Dr. Dre, Taking Drugs, The Good & The Bad Times, & More!

Eminem has turned his attention to the forthcoming presidential election, announcing: “I’ll vote for Barack." Speaking with characteristic frankness to DJ Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1, he said: “I know we are going into a recession. Pardon the cliché but we need something to change."

Eminem has said that creating music, rather than fame, is now his only focus. But the Detroit rapper, who has been on hiatus since 2005, said he had no wish to return to the level of fame he experienced in the late 90s and early 00s. Eminem criticised the state of rap during his absence.

Eminem recently spoke to BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe and says, in relation to his past success, that he has "no desire to be that big again."

Hopefully a legend will return.
