The music video premieres on MTV next Thursday, March 11th.
Derick G. (of course) provides the behind the scenes footage of the Chris Robinson-directed video for “Drop The World”, which they shot in L.A. the day before the Grammy’s.
Also, Weezy’s sentence was posponed AGAIN due to a small fire at the courthouse. No rescheduled date released yet.

This is funny as shit, and pure genius. Aziz Ansari releases a track getting at a few rappers demanding they send their verses back for his mixtape. Including Kid Cudi, Jay-Z, Ludacris, Drake, RZA & GZA, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Clipse, MF DOOM, Mos Def, and Kanye. Sounds like he’s dissing, but he’s just doing what he does best, creating the funny.

For the Jan/Feb issue, Complex E-I-C Noah Callahan-Bever sits with Em and discuss his comeback album, drugs, Relapse 2 and… streaming porn.
Here’s a snip of the interview:
When the details of Michael Jackson’s death came to light, did you see any parallels?
Eminem: Oh, 100 percent. When you read things about Michael Jackson it’s hard to decipher what the fuck is true, but there’s the story of how he woke up at whatever time and he needed something to go back to sleep because he had this or that and it didn’t work. That’s exactly what used to happen to me: I would take a couple of pills and I would be up an hour later and I’d want more. Then I’d take more and that would be enough to maybe get me back to sleep for two more hours. Then I’d be wide awake again. So I definitely can relate, and it’s a shame if he didn’t have anybody there to just say, “Michael, you’re an addict, you need help.” It’s one of the pitfalls of fame. I could just say, “Yo, I need this and this and this,” and they’re going to give me whatever I want because—
—because you’re Eminem.
Eminem: Exactly, it’s fucked up. The worst thing that could have happened to me as an addict was having money.

Beyond...Rick Ross hit up Bootleg Kev’s Wild101.1 show and declared that he has no beef with Eminem and he has NO desire to battle him, how he feels Deeper Than Rap is album of the year, then talks about the new Triple C’s project, the prospects of a Birdman/Rick Ross album, how he wants to collaborate with Rakim and his NFL predictions for the season.
Not happening….
Beyond...When Rick Ross thinks about Eminem making a Mariah Carey dis record instead of responding to his jabs toward Slim Shady, the Miami Bawse just cracks up laughing. “You know what my thoughts are, man. We just laugh at it,” Ross told us recently in New Mexico.
“He’s smart,” Ross said about Eminem not addressing him and avoiding a rhyme battle. “That’s what I’m waiting for. That’ll be a gift — a great Christmas present for me. But y’all know what I think. I think everybody knows. It’s all ‘hood, man. Shout-out to Mariah Carey, she needs to reach out to me. We could eradicate some things.”
The vibe is not 100 percent antagonistic, however, when it comes to Ross’ thoughts on Marshall Mathers — he actually has some praise for Em’s latest verse.
“On a better note, I wanna shout out Eminem. I heard a record he did with Lil Wayne, Drake and Kanye West. Eminem, you’re smart. I understand … we all know what you doing now. You’re moving on to better things. Like I said, he might wanna do a record with me. We here. Triple Cs.”
Ross, the Carol City Cartel, Masspike Miles and the rest of his musical family are putting out their mixtape Maybach Music Part III: White Sand real soon. The title signifies that they started in the streets and are now indulging in the finer things in life. “We still on that hustle,” Ross said. “I’m hungry like a new artist. It’s a double disc of all new music as well as a DVD. It’s taking the street mixtapes to the next level.”
Triple Cs are filming the video for their first single, “Go,” with the Birdman featured in the production. The album Custom Cars and Cycles is due to drop this fall.
