Eminem and Rap, Poetry, Race: Essays – Released November

Are you prepared to look inside the mind of Eminem? Consider yourself in luck, as a new book of essays titled Eminem and Rap, Poetry, Race: Essays will hits shelves this November. The collection will be an in-depth examination of Marshall’s work and his overall impact on hip-hop culture through his catalogue and the role of race and other factors. The book will be curated by Scott F. Parker and include a foreword from Talib Kweli.

This collection of essays gives his work the critical attention it has long deserved. Drawing from history, philosophy, sociology, musicology, and other fields, the writers gathered here consider Eminem’s place in Hip Hop, the intellectual underpinnings of his work, and the roles of race, gender and privilege in his career, among various other topics.

The collection will be available on November 30, and can be pre-ordered on Amazon here.

Eminem’s Daughter Hailie Graduates Highschool

Eminem must be a proud dad!

Earlier this month, his 18-year-old daughter, Hailie Jade Scott Mathers, graduated high school—with honors! The teen graduated Summa Cum Laude, with a grade point average of at least 3.9.

The world-renowned rapper, a high school dropout, had paid tribute to his “baby girl” girl in his tracks “Hailie’s Song” and “Mockingbird.” And the teen reciprocated.

She donned her graduation cap and gown at a commencement ceremony at Michigan’s Chippewa Valley High School on June 8. The school released a newsletter celebrating its honors graduates. Her entry pays tribute to her dad, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, and her mother and his ex-wife, Kim Mathers. She names the two under the banner, “Most Influential During My Lifetime.”

“My mother and father are because they have pushed me to be the person I am and have given me all the support to achieve what I have,” she said.

During her high school years, Hailie was a member of the National Honor Society, the Art Club, the Key Club and Student Council and also played volleyball. She received the school’s Academic Excellence Award and the Department of Psychology Award.

And more good news for the family—Hailie is heading off to college! The newsletter states that she is set to attend Michigan State University. She says she wants to study psychology and also expresses interest in becoming an entrepreneur.

Hailie is the only biological child Eminem and his ex-wife share. The rapper also has custody of Whitney and another daughter, Aliana, whose mother is Kim’s twin sister, Dawn.

Hailie was crowned homecoming queen at her high school last year and her parents attended her ceremony—she arrived with her mother, while the rapper watched from the stands.

In 2010, Rolling Stone asked Eminem, “What does being a good father mean to you?”

“Just being there,” he said. “Not missing things. If there’s anything important going on, regardless of what it is, I’m there. Helping them with homework when you can. At the grades my older ones are in, it’s hard. I never even passed ninth grade. They’re already way smarter than me.”

Eminem features on new Busta Rhymes song ‘Calm Down’

The song is taken from Busta Rhymes’ new album ‘Extinction Level Event 2’, the follow-up to his 1998 record ‘Extinction Level Event: The Final World Front’.

Speaking about his collaboration with Eminem earlier this year, Busta Rhymes told HotNewHipHop: “I’ve got a six-minute record with Eminem that sounds like we are respectfully trying to battle each other in a way that you probably never heard us battle in our entire careers on a record. So it’s a lot of real incredibly golden moments for us on this project.”

‘Extinction Level Event 2’ will include collaborations with Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Kanye West and Q-Tip. It is set for release later this year.

Meanwhile, Eminem will play two nights at London’s Wembley Stadium on July 11 and 12, with Odd Future and Danny Brown as the support acts.

Eminem’s last UK performance was in August 2013 when he headlined the Reading And Leeds Festivals.
