And donate to the legendary DJ Kool Herc. He’s sick and has no money or health insurance according to DJ Premier, who revealed the hip hop pioneer’s condition via the radio.

On Wednesday night, the security system at Eminem’s suburban Detroit home was set off, but the rapper and crew didn’t find any Stans trying to break in, so they assumed it was a false alarm.

Rap Radar, a Hip Hop blog funded by Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg, scored an “exclusive” email Q/A with Eminem and wants you all to know that the stunt with Bruno at the MTV Movie Awards?
