Wyclef Assists Haiti

I know everyone has heard of the news in Haiti and many of us can just pray that everything will get better.  Several people have died and a lot of bodies are still missing.  Regular pedestrians like me, celebrities, and charities are all working to help those in need overseas.  Wyclef is one of those who is lending a helping hand in the disaster in Haiti.  The link is from Rapbasement and we all know that this man has always meant more than just music.

Eminem Asks for Help

While Eminem was having his struggles he turned to a friend for advice. This friend was not Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, any D-12 member, or figure on his label. The person who Eminem turned to for advice was Elton John. Now back in the day Eminem was involved in some controversy when it came to homosexuals, and in that time Elton John along with Eminem performed a song together. From that day onward both have been friends, and it is good to hear that they even support each other in other terms than just music. As a person Elton John gave Eminem some help, and as we can see the rapper is basically back into form. In this interview however, it is stated that Eminem also spoke to rapper T.I. several times. To hear about a big rapper helping another rapper in troubled times is another fact that has been missing in the Hip Hop community. What I found interesting about this is that both men kept it a secret. Personal topics should never be discussed as a platform for media attention, especially if it isn't your personal topic to discuss. Here is the rest of the information from this interview that I read on HipHopDx. Oh yeah, Eminem also listens to Black Milk.

Keri Hilson Chart Topper

Keri Hilson's second single "Turnin Me On" feat Lil Wayne has landed at #1 on Urban Radio. Keri if you don't know is associated with producer Timbaland, and was featured on Lloyd Banks 2006 single called "Help." I'am happy Keri is doing good on and hopefully her new found success keeps her in the game for a while.
