Eminem ft. Rihanna

My 8Mile loving Eminem self circa 2002 can't get enough of this song. Its in my brain....you would actually make fun of me if you knew how much I've played it in the last couple of days. So much so, that I will probably only enjoy this song until the end of this week, but hey, might as well ride the wave and post while its hot. Tornados meeting volcanos, sincerity, and all.

I wanted some more bucky dun gun MIA in my life and I was super excited to see that she has a new album due this summer. Get this, one of the songs to look forward to is called "I'm Down Like Your Internet Connection" and she actually recorded it with a group of Filipino Verizon workers via the phone."I was having issues with my cable and wireless, and I was on the phone [with tech support] for three hours, and I thought, 'Maybe this needs to be part of my music, could you just learn these lyrics and sing it down the phone to me?' 10 phone calls later, I have Internet that sticks and a song." (Via Pitchfork) You never know whats up her sleeve. Cant wait for some fresh summer tunes.

In the mean time, here is Rihanna's latest, Rude Boy, with a very inspired MIA video. Ch-ch-check it:

Atta girl. Still not my fav from her, but I knew she had more in her than Russian Roulette. Riri's newest video - Wait Your Turn.

I really hate to say it, and maybe I'm saying this pre-maturely and the song will grow on me, but I could have waited a bit longer for this. I thought she was going to blow it out of the water with this being the first single off her first album since 2007...and this song is just a touch on the boring side. Someone needs to step in and remix this shiz. Maybe throw some Drake in there, that seems to be working for people?

Her album is still on my 'to do' list though, because I can't deny my love for RiRi and I have faith she'll have some great new hits. It drops Nov 23.
