A while back we ran a story on Bizarre stalking Nicki Minaj. If that video wasn't enough confirmation of his "Love" for the 1st Lady of Young Money, a tattoo of Nicki's face should make his obsession very clear.  In the video we see Bizarre speak on his admiration of Nicki, and then says he wants to prove how much he loves her, by getting the tattoo.

I'm not quite sure how Nicki will receive all of Bizarre's sentiments, but what happens when/if Bizarre becomes involved with a different female? But then again, couldn't the same be said about Drake getting a tattoo in remembrance of Aaliyah? The past couple weeks we've seen fans get tattoos showing their loyalty to both Drake and Lil Boosie, so maybe this Nicki Minaj tattoo shouldn't be that surprising.

Peep the video.

The segment, which features Detroit bred emcees Royce da 5'9 and Eminem, was taped on BBC UK's Mr. Porter's show.

Check the footage.  Now that's what you call classic.

One of the more unexpected collabs will be on the track “Won't Back Down” which features the rapper and pop singer Pink.

It's been three years since the D-Town representative released a new project and four years since he graced television sets on VH1's Celebrity Fit Club but now he's back with a new musical regime.

Before hitting the hitmaker's album release party at Detroit's historic St. Andrew's Hall, HipHopWired sat down with Bizzare to talk about his hiatus, the latest on D-12 and what he thinks about the constant comparison between rap newcomer Yelawolf and his longtime comrade Eminem.

Surprise also came from Hip Hop heads as the attack seemed to come out of nowhere.  Even though they had their issues back in 1999, before Slim Shady became mainstreams, a lot has changed in both of their careers.

Such a diss would bring many to question the validity of the upcoming beef and whether the rapper was just trying to find a means to promote himself and his upcoming project, Melatonin Magik, or if he was really still sour about the past. 

West Coast rapper Ras Kass is one that is very familiar with beef and spoke on the recent “situation” between Canibus and Eminem.  During an interview with Gamertag Radio, the rapper, above all else, was confused on the timing from Bis. 

“But it came outta nowhere.  My personal opinion, I love Eminem just as much as I love Canibus, I do no favoritism in that and I do respect both of them and their talents, immensely.  I just think, me personally, if somebody went at you, there's an art of war.  In the art of war, this is kind of late to go after him.  Maybe he has a plan and as far as battles and all that, then so be it.” 

Kass also added that as time progresses, a person must find a way to just let go of the past and move on instead of dwelling on what was.  Until something new brews, there is no point in picking a fight.  Channeling into his past grievances with Game, he added that they are just that, the past, and a new battle could only happen if something were to happen in the present.

“Me, personally, like is aid, I love Eminem and I love Canibus, I would have went at Em sooner than now if dude said certain things about me—because some things you gotta let go and it's the past.  I don't get along with Game, I'm not gonna make a song about him today.  It's dead, unless we have some new issue.”

In related news, the rapper recently released The Quarterly , a project that would show Kass comprising a project with a song a week, which is similar to Crooked I's Hip Hop Weekly.  Features for the project, which released on November 23, consist of Killah Priest, Mistah F.A.B. and others.   

“If Proof was alive, he's be dying inside.  You ain't no Hip-Hop messiah, you a Beyotch cause you dissed Mariah.  Shyte like that, supposed to be private.”

"Pop Killer"

It looks like old wounds heal slow as Canibus has set his sights back on Eminem to release another diss track at the Detroit native.

Rumored to be titled “Pop Killer," the rapper, alongside another rapper known as DZK, digs up the past beef as he goes in on Mr. Mathers.

“I'ma fry you on behalf of Mariah and Michael, put you back on dem drugs, make you suicidal.  You can't shut the record down, n*gga it's viral.”

For those that don't know the history, beef between the two reportedly started back in 1998 before Shady was even signed.  Em states that he was approached by Canibus and Wyclef Jean and was asked if he wrote the lyrics to LL Cool J's diss track “The Ripper Strikes Back” which he denied, but added that Bus was rude with him.

Bus later tried to apologize for the incident by showing up at the Warped Tour in 1999 and asked him to rap along with him on the track “Phuck U," but Shady turned it down, allegedly because he felt the track was a diss to Cool J.

Shots were allegedly fired initially on The Slim Shady LP and escalated once Canibus did his own version of “Stan” from The Marshall Mathers LP where he saved the life of the title character.  The two continued to spar with each other up to 2002.

“He's a devil in a red dress on MTV.  He signed more Black people than a basketball team.  What you tryna say subconsciously, you can't ride the beat like me.  Consciously, you know I'll rock you to sleep.  Slim Shady, you a coward cause you scared to rap with me.  The only Black man you respect is 50.  And the greatest rapper of all time was dead right and dead wrong, you shouldn't even have been on that song.”

Artists such as Royce Da 5'9” have started to weigh in on the attempt by the rapper to wage war once again.

RT@dopeboySHAKE: ‘I'll be brief and let me just keep Shyte simple, can-a-Beyotch don't want no beef with slim?  Noooo'

Wherever the random diss came from, only Bis knows, but Em is one with quite the track record with battle rap.  “Warning” shows that he isn't afraid to throw a woman under the bus and his relentless references to his former wife Kim shows that he knows no bounds and can see no boundaries.

Engaging countless battles in his career ranging from Everlast to Cage to Ja Rule to Jermaine Dupri, the white rapper has earned his stripes in the battlefield.  Good luck.

“I remember the first time we met, I ain't even like you.  Walking around my video set like you was in high school.  It must excite you seeing Black people being tribal.  That's why Dr. Dre signed you.”

"The vision was to manifest a project framed around the psyche of these characters while loosely paying homage to the format of classic radio programs like "War of the Worlds."

Esham also states Hellaween resurrects the best of horror cinemas antagonists while showcasing him and his entire label roster rhyming in character throughout the entire album. The production combines a diversified supply of hard-hitting compositions with esoteric overtones and smash mouth, b-movie swagger sewn together like stitches in flesh.

Esham's career dates back to 1989 with the release of his debut Boomin Words from Hell when he first began mixing Hip-Hop with hard rock and the dark arts. His "acid rap" style of suicidal storytelling, sexploitation and violent street anthems are considered influential to Eminem, D12, Kid Rock, Insane Clown Posse, Twiztid as well as an entire sub-genre within Hip-Hop.
