Skylar Grey Thanks Dr. Dre

The new voice of hip hop music is Ms. Skyler Grey. Skylar was an artist signed previously to Machine Shop Records owned by the band Linkin Park under the name Holly Brook. This signing led to her collaboration with Fort Minor on "Where'd Ya Go" in 2003. Since then she has worked with Lupe Fiasco on "Words I Never Said", Diddy's "Coming Home", she wrote the hook to Eminem's "Love The Way You Lie" and most notably "I Need A Doctor" with Dre & Em. She says her voice almost didn't make it on to the Dre track just like "Love The Way You Lie" but Eminem stepped in and veto'd the decision. The label wanted to use Lady Gaga's voice instead. She credits Dr. Dre for being one of the best, most professional, and personable people in the industry. She goes on to say that collaboration has changed her and helped define her sound. Immediately following their performance on the Grammy award, she says her twitter followers increased 6,500 within minutes. Her debut album Invincible under the name Skylar Grey is slated to be released soon and will have a few hip hop collaborations she can't reveal yet.

Eminem Breaks Sales Records Once Again!

His last album, Recovery, was released a year ago. During it's first week Em was breaking records at that time. His sales were consistent and looking good but no one would have guessed that he would continue to sell good numbers a year later. Interscope Records congratulated Em for being the first artist to sell a million albums via digital downloads. That is a first for any artist and now the bar has been set. Question is once we get the Detox album how many copies will IT sell. Can Shady/Aftermath/Interscope make history twice back to back? Congrats to Eminem!

Yelawolf Recalls Meeting Eminem For The First Time

When Yelawolf first met his new boss, Eminem, the meeting couldn't have been more casual.

"He said, 'What's up? I'm Marshall,' " Yelawolf recalled to MTV News on Thursday's (March 10) "RapFix Live."

The meeting obviously went well: Yela is the latest recruit to Em's Shady Records empire, along with Slaughterhouse (Joe Budden, Crooked I, Joell Ortiz and Royce Da 5'9".)

Yela and Em talked in Detroit after producer Jim Jonsin and Eminem's manager urged the rapper to listen to the upstart's music. They shared similarities in their upbringing, and the partnership paid off immediately when the Grammy-winning superstar bestowed the young lyricist with advice, according to Yela.

"I'm a drinker; I drink a lot," he explained. "My management was concerned about some advice he could give me about slowing down so I don't get caught up in that life. He told me if it gets to the point where you need a drink before you go onstage, like you require that to function, is when you need to check yourself. And honestly, that's where I was at that point. And I've changed. I don't drink before I perform anymore."

The Alabama rapper will stick knock back a beer, but he's given up overdoing it before shows. Now, he says, he's enjoying himself more and his confidence has grown.

And that courage helped when he first played Eminem his debut album.

"I'm super excited about the music and fully confident that it's jamming," he said. "I was a little nervous, but after we broke the ice and really chopped it up, he seemed excited about it. So that makes me twice as excited now."
