Eminem's Copyright Infringement Lawsuit

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — They may not have lost themselves in the music or the moment but a judge and nine lawyers in a New Zealand courtroom did listen politely to Eminem's "Lose Yourself" as a copyright trial involving the country's ruling political party began Monday.

The Detroit-based music publishers for Eminem are suing New Zealand's conservative National Party, alleging the rapper's acclaimed 2002 song was copied in the party's soundtrack for a TV ad aired during its successful 2014 election campaign. Titled "Eminem Esque," the track has the familiar urgent, pulsing beat of Eminem's song.

Why Elton John and Eminem Became Sober

 

Rapper Eminem and Sir Elton John share more than just decades of experience in the music industry. They both have been living a sober lifestyle for years — something that often requires a strong support system. Luckily, the Detroit-bred emcee has been able to rely on the “Rocketman” singer for advice.

Elton John has been living sober for over 30 years. And in that time, the Grammy-winning artist has been able to reflect on his life before and after he found his sobriety.

Machine Gun Kelly Disses Eminem Live In Performance

It doesn't look like the beef between Machine Gun Kelly and Eminem is dying down any time soon. After Eminem's diss track targeted at Kelly, "Killshot," MGK dissed the rapper on stage during an Orlando, Fla. concert and taunted him on Instagram.

"Fuck Marshall Mathers," MGK said as he opened his set, according to TMZ. "The real Slim Shady can't stand up," he later shouted, poking fun at the Detroit rapper's age.

He later posted a photo on Instagram wearing the cover art for Em's song "Killshot," with his middle finger up. "He missed," MGK wrote. In the sliding pictures that followed, he also included a screenshot of his original diss track at Eminem, "Rap Devil," still at the No. 1 spot on Apple Music's chart.

Machine Gun Kelly didn't hold back his feelings about the song when it came out, calling it trash and announcing he's prepping a new EP Binge. However, he may be harboring more bad blood than he's letting on, as his security team was accused of beating up an actor who called MGK a "pussy" for bringing up Eminem's daughter.

Machine Gun Kelly Booed Off Stage

After the Pittsburgh native started rapping his Eminem diss "Rap Devil," an audible portion of the crowd began to boo. Footage of the moment shows Kelly saying "fuck Marshall Mathers" before launching into the song. The crowd at the Amway Center, where MGK was opening for Fall Out Boy, responded with apparent disapproval, interspersed with cheers.

The images, posted on the rapper's Instagram, show him wearing a shirt featuring the cover art for Eminem's "Rap Devil" response, "Killshot," while flipping off the camera as fans in the background raise their middle fingers.

Several comments on MGK's post allege that the rapper was wearing a sweatshirt when he asked fans to flip the bird for an unspecified reason, and that he only unveiled the "Killshot" shirt, featuring an illustration of his man bun, right before snapping the photos.

Machine Gun Kelly Disses Eminem Live In Performance

"Rap Devil," which debuted this week at No. 13 on the Hot 100, was recorded as a response to Eminem's Kamikaze track "Not Alike." Shady's response, "Killshot," released on Friday, compares Machine Gun Kelly to nine-year-old social media phenom Lil Tay and makes fun of the rapper's hair.

Why Eminem's New Album "Kamikaze" Will Be His Biggest Album As Yet

Eminem

This is the number one world that is involved with almost every artist in the industry. This album will have fans going crazy on both sides. Everyone knew Eminem was working on something but not like this.

Eminem surprised just about everyone at midnight (EST) when he released a new album entitled Kamikaze. The project features Royce Da 5'9, Joyner Lucas, and Jessie Reyez with Dr. Dre executing the role of executive producer along with Em.

Just listen to it below. The album is raw as it could be. There is no words that can compete. This album is set to soar.

Eminem Releases #MusicVideo for "Good Guy"

In the four-minute visual, which features Jessie Reyez, the two portray an abusive relationship. Throughout the video, Jessie and Em do some serious damage to each other as they fight in their house. Their death battle travels from inside a kitchen, to upstairs in their home and outside of their home. In the end, Reyez ends up stabbing Em to death.

This wouldn't be the first time that the Kamikaze rapper has depicted a broken relationship in a music video. Back in 2010, Eminem teamed up with Rihanna for "Love The Way You Lie," which also resulted in a tragic death.

This video drops the same day that it was announced that Eminem's "Luck You," which features Joyner Lucas, has been nominated for Best Rap Song at the 2019 Grammy Awards. Other contenders in this category include Drake, Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar and Jay Rock. More than 25 years into his rap career and Shady is showing no signs of slowing up.

Why Is Eminem Scared To Diss Drake?

Even though Eminem has released the most talked about album of the year, Em has owned up to most of his shots fired. Although he is denying dissing Drake on the Joyner Lucas-assisted track "Lucky You."

Eminem ruffled a lot of feathers with his Kamikaze album, where he doesn't hold any punches, dissing several rappers and media personalities.

Of course, anytime a ghostwriter is brought up in rap songs, the assumption is Drake is the target. According to Em, that is not the case here. In the fourth part of his interview with Sway Colloway, Eminem opened up about the speculation.

"Drake is going to always be in my good graces, because he did something for one of my daughters that I will never forget and he will always be in my graces for that," Em noted. "And I like Drake. What I'm telling you with these lines is, I don't know what's real and what's not, at this point. Because you hear shit about this rapper, that rapper, whatever. I'm telling you that I don't do it. Never have and never will. If I ever need a ghostwriter, I need to just fucking put the mic down."

Eminem Holds The Most Album Sales In 2018

Machine Gun Kelly may be soaring in 2019, but Eminem has the most albums sold in 2018. Twenty-plus years into his illustrious career and Eminem is still outselling his peers.

Behind Drake, Post Malone and XXXTentacion, Eminem had the fourth-highest streaming total of any artist in 2018 at more than 2.5 billion. 760 million of that total came from Kamikaze.

Spotify compiled on New Year's Eve (Dec. 31), the Detroit rapper sat at No. 1 with his 2002 hit, "Lose Yourself."
