The wonderful rapper of America Eminem is set to return to his hometown of Detroit, Michigan, to host a rap contest in the style of the famous hip-hop battle in his semi-autobiographical movie "8 Mile". The "Superman" hitmaker has signed up to host a freestyle rap contest called the "Red Bull EmSee. The Road to 8 Mile National Finals", which will see eight aspiring stars compete against each other in scenes similar to the hit 2002 film, reports the time sherald. The finalists, who have been picked from regional heats across the US is going to perform in front of the superstar, who will then decide the winner. The event will be held at Detroit's St. Andrews Hall on Aug 26. Eminem is on top of the game. For several weeks, the rocking star is ruling Billboard Hot 200 with his latest album "Recovery" and reigning Hot 100 with Rihanna-assisted single "Love the Way You Lie". With those remarkable achievements, today positively is not a perfect time for him to take retirement and he agrees with that. In an interview with Vibe for its 15th-anniversary issue, the Slim Shady said, "Honestly, I don't know how much longer I have in this game." He added, "I'm always going to love hip-hop.
After more than a decade in the business, the legendary icon remains a hip-hop heavyweight, one who can still sell records as if it were the pre-Internet era. So it is quite hard to imagine what the music scene would be like if he wasn't around. Aside from remembering his 8 mile co-star Brittany Murphy in Vibe’s 15th-anniversary "Juice" issue, the rocking Em also opens up about his expected retirement from the rap game. In the August/September issue, Em also confirms he can be his own worst critic, calling some of his previous material "mediocre." But he said that it's the fans who will at last decide his hip-hop fate. His Eminence Eminem returns to the top of the US albums chart this week, as Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs which debuted in pole position last week suffers a 66% dip in sales week-on-week, and drifts to number two as a result. The 52,000 copies it sold put it well behind Eminem, whose Recovery’s recovery provide it with a sixth week at number one, on sales of 133,000. On the Hot 100, Love the Way You Lie spends a fifth week at number one for Eminem feat. The rocking Rihanna is once again holding at bay Taio Cruz’s Dynamite, which fizzles away at number two for the third week in a row.
The two legendary icons Eminem and Rihanna have clung on to the number one spot in the Irish singles chart. Love The Way You Lie returned to the top spot last week and now spends its ninth week in the chart. The top five remains unchanged as Flo Rida and Yolanda Be Cool remain in second and third respectively. The rocking Eminem is the ninth solo male to achieve such a double domination. Of the acts, 50 Cent is the only male to boast the feat with two albums ("Get Rich or Die Tryin' " and "The Massacre"), while only Usher has plated multiple five-week or more Hot 100 leaders from an album that also led the Billboard 200 for at least five weeks ("Yeah!," "Burn" and "My Boo," all from "Confessions").
