Rihanna Speaks On Love The Way You Lie Part 2

Rihanna talks to Sway in detail about the sequel to ‘Love The Way Lie’ that will be appearing on Rihanna’ album Loud. Sway has also heard some of the tracks including this one and according to them Em has spit a crazy verse again. In the words on Rihanna.. “Something is wrong with Eminem..“.

Yeah we know, he’s not human.
Watch Rihanna’s extended play interview here.
About the song:
On the song, Rihanna tells her part of the story. The song opens with just her voice and the piano as she sings, “On the first page of our story, the future seemed so bright/ Then this thing turned so evil.”
When the chorus kicks in, the hook from the original track is bigger and more cinematic than ever before, but it’s Em’s seething anger when he delivers his verse that will have fans going bananas. He raps about the pain she causes him just as much as he causes her, spitting rhymes about trading punches with his lady love.

Nicki Minaj Talks Eminem Collaboration Produced By Swizz Beatz

Nicki appeared on MTV’s Rapfix live and revealed some more details on the Eminem collaboration. Swizz Beatz on the beat yo. The two worked out a new chorus after clearance issues killed the first one.

“We went out on a whim and put it in the air like, ‘It’d be great if he would collaborate with us,’ ” Nicki Minaj said. “I remember I kept talking about it, and I thought, ‘It can’t hurt.’ I sent him one record, and he didn’t love it. He didn’t say, ‘I don’t love it’; he just said, ‘Can you send me something that’s a little more me?’ I sent him an e-mail and thanked him for that, just having enough respect. Sometimes people don’t respond. He had the respect, at least, to treat me like a peer.”

Drake Speaks On ‘It’s Never Enough’ Delay


Most folks liked what he did on the first single but Drizzy tells MTV he’s pushing back the R&B mixtape for an indefinite period to focus on rap.

“I been rapping a lot lately,” Drake told MTV News. “Me and 40 (Noah Shebib, his producer) have been doing some great rap music, so I sort of took a hiatus on the R&B for a second. It’s cool to do R&B, I love it, but it’s just hard for me to always commit to it. Because some nights, I get in there and 40’s beats, as melodic or R&B-driven as they may be, just have that right pocket that I just wanna spit.”
