“We got a chance to kick it for a minute. I know people were interested in what that conversation was like. But they can ask Jay-Z. I take people’s actions as if it’s genuinely how they feel. I can only use what I saw you do as if that’s what you meant. I can’t understand what your motivation was prior to that.”

“I had a conversation with Puffy the night before Jay. He gave me a whole new perspective on his actions. He’s like, ‘I understand the way you felt because of what I was doing at the time. But I wasn’t thinking what you was thinking I was. You done hit me nine times. I’m just in the fetal because I understand why you are attacking me. But if I can’t touch bases with you to tell you what I’m thinking or why I did it, then you can’t understand it.’ We created a little clarity out there.”

Mit acht Nominierungen geht Eminem für sein erfolgreiches neues Album “Recovery” ins Rennen um den begehrten Moon Man, unter anderem in den Kategorien “Best Male Video“ und “Video of the Year”.

Das Drogendrama basiert auf dem gleichnamigen, 2002 erschienen Roman von Nick McDonell, der ihn als 17-Jähriger während der Sommerferien geschrieben hat. Der teils autobiografische Roman erzählt von den Jugendlichen der New Yorker Upper Class: White Mike zieht es vor, sein Geld mit dem Dealen von Drogen zu verdienen, anstatt aufs College zu gehen. Sein sorgenfreies Leben findet ein jähes Ende als sein Cousin brutal ermodert und sein bester Freund verhaftet wird.

Der in Deutschland unter dem Titel „Zwölf“ (der Name einer kokainhaltigen Droge) erschienene Roman wurde in insgesamt zehn Sprachen übersetzt. Der Produktionsbeginn der Verfilmung ist für den 20. April geplant. An der Seite von 50 Cent spielen Kiefer Sutherland, Ellen Barkin, Chace Crawford, Emma Roberts und Rory Culkin.

Im der August/September Ausgabe des VIBE Magazine spricht Dr. Dre über sein “Detox” Album, Eminem, sein Aftermath Label und ein Instrumental Album. Hier gibt es einige Ausschnitte des Interviews!

ON THE DETOX HOLD-UP:
When you first announced Detox did you think it would take this long?
Absolutely not. I thought it would take at worst case a couple of years. For example, actual work time on The Chronic was nine months and actual work time on my last album, 2001, was about 10 months. The actual work time on this album is about half of that, where I’m seriously focusing on it. There is always something coming up. Like signing talent, old and new.

ON DEALING WITH MUSIC LEAKS:
So “Under Pressure” leaking was killer.
It was a little bit more frustrating because at least “Crack a Bottle” had a hook on it. I wouldn’t be as mad at a leak if the song was done.

Can you blame the fans for wanting to hear something after all this time?
Absolutely not. I’m not mad at the fans. I’m mad at the person that leaked the shit. I have no idea how it got out. It’s not even worth looking to see who did it. It happens. The most painful part about it is that I’m passionate about what I do so people should hear it in the right form.

There were some other reference tracks that leaked with T.I. and Ludacris lyrics. Were those legit?
Two of them were. Somebody actually hacked into our emails, so that made our red flags go up. We’re in a new age and that’s a sign: Wake up motherfucker. You have to be more careful with your shit. That’s all there is to it. I know what’s up now.

ON A COMING INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM:
You mentioned a hip-hop album without rapping. Will we ever hear a Dr. Dre instrumental album?
Oh yeah, that’s in the works. An instrumental album is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I have the ideas for it. I want to call it The Planets. I don’t even know if I should be saying this, but fuck it. [Laughs.] It’s just my interpretation of what each planet sounds like. I’m gonna go off on that. Just all instrumental. I’ve been studying the planets and learning the personalities of each planet. I’ve been doing this for about two years now just in my spare time so to speak. I wanna do it in surround sound. It’ll have to be in surround sound for Saturn to work.

Regie führte Joseph Khan, der u.a. auch schon Videos für 50 Cent, Lady Gaga und auch Eminem produzierte. Megan Fox (“Transformers”) und Dominic Monaghan (“Lost”) spielen das Liebespaar in den Hauptrollen!

“Joseph and I worked pretty closely together to make sure we got this right,” so Eminem. “Trying to make this tough subject work visually is a challenge. It was great to have Rihanna, Megan and Dominic on board for this….they really brought it and made this video super-powerful.”
