Eminem's may have just came out last week, but for producer DVLP, the track has been two years in the making.

"I was just trying to do whatever makes me happy. I never really make tracks with artists in mind," the New York beatsmith told MTV News on Monday of the track that he co-produced with his partner Filthy.

DVLP has logged in work with the Diplomats, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne; but when DVLP's manager Stephen Hacker began shopping around "Rap God," there were artists other the running.

"Before it got to Em, it was talked about for like T.I. — I don't know who else, maybe Fab or something. Even when they said those names, it was like, that's not really where I hear this record going. It's not that kind of record," he said. "Thankfully everything worked out where it made its way over to the Shady side."

The instrumental went to the "Shady side" last fall, DVLP estimated. While the producer spends most of his time in the studio, he wasn't around while Em was crafting the record, which will appear on November 5's The Marshall Mathers LP 2. Like the rest of us, DVLP heard the heard the finished product on October 14. It has since hit #1 on Billboard Digital Songs chart.

DVLP remembers being sick with the flu on the day the song dropped and couldn't quite bring himself to listen, but then he got a call from Eminem. "I still didn't even hear the record, so I don't know how that looks to ...

This just in from San Diego's Channel 4 News team: Ben & Jerry's has launched a limited-batch, "Anchorman 2"-themed ice cream flavor named "Ron Burgundy's Scotchy Scotch Scotch."

All together now: Great Odin's raven!

The new concoction is an ode to the newscaster's favorite spirit, featuring a butterscotch ice cream base swirled with a crunchy butterscotch ribbon of flavor.

"Scotchy Scotch Scotch is a delicious ice cream and I hope Ben and Jerry consider my other suggestions," Ron Burgundy said in a statement. "Malt liquor marshmallow, well liquor bourbon peanut butter, and cheap white wine sherbet."

While we contemplate those other tempting tongue-teasers, the folks at Ben & Jerry's were kind enough to send over samples of Scotchy Scotch Scotch for the MTV News staff to taste test. Here are the reviews:

"I love this ice cream? Damnit. Who put a question mark on the teleprompter?" — India Nicholas

"In the words of the immortal Ron Burgundy himself, 'I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch. Here it goes down, down into my belly...' Find this flavor wherever you can. Then hoard it. You might be a little antsy from all the sugar, but you won't be sorry." — Jonathan Goldner

"It's no Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream, but it's a close second for the best ice cream flavor based on a fictional newscaster." — Kevin P. Sullivan

"I ate a big red candle." — Josh Horowitz

"My only regret is that it did not feature whiskey." — Brenna Ehrlich

"While I found it delicious and nutritious, I'm predisposed to praise anything "Anchorman"-related. Probably would have loved ...

Veronica Roth is having the kind of year most authors can only dream of. In addition to her debut novel, going into production with rising stars Shailene Woodley and Theo James cast as leads, Roth is wrapping up the trilogy that captured the publishing (and film) industry's attention with Tuesday's publication of "Allegiant."

Set in a near-future Chicago, the "Divergent" series tells the story of a civilization divided into five factions, each representing a different virtue: Abnegation (selflessness), Erudite (intelligence), Dauntless (bravery), Amity (peacefulness) and Candor (honesty). Teens are tested at 16 years old to determine which faction they will call their own. Our protagonist here is Beatrice "Tris" Prior, who leaves her Abnegation family to join up with the dangerous Dauntless — despite receiving inconclusive test results. In Tris' world, to be different is to be dangerous, and there are many who will try to take her down.

Following a cliff-hanger ending in Roth's second novel, "Insurgent," fans have been not-so-patiently waiting to learn the fate of Tris and her hunky love interest Four (otherwise known as Tobias). And with "Allegiant" now in readers' hot little hands, Roth is feeling all kinds of things.

"It's a really huge mix of emotions," she told MTV News' Josh Horowitz on publication day. "I'm nervous. I'm like, how are people going to react to this? I'm also really excited, but it's also really bittersweet to close out the trilogy. It's been a couple years of my life. It's been a huge part of my life and changed everything, and to have ...

When the Jonas Brothers canceled their fall tour, it wasn't just fans who were surprised by the trio's last-minute decision. was slated to tour with them. Her bags were packed when she got word that the show was definitely not going to hit the road.

"I was completely surprised; it was literally the day before. All of our stuff had been shipped to the East Coast [for the first show in Pennsylvania]; all of our tickets were booked. We had a bus. We had been rehearsing 10 hours a day, every day, for two weeks. It was a huge shock," she told MTV News, adding, "They had been in rehearsals literally days before. Everything was on course and fine, so I don't know. I really don't know what happened."

The guys had cited "a deep rift within the band" as a reason for the canceled gigs. But if you're looking for more information than that, McKee doesn't know what exactly the internal strife is.

"Not all is lost and I hope that the Jonas Brothers work it out," she said. "I don't really know exactly what went down, but I know that everyone's kind of at odds. So I hope that they work it out because I think they're very talented."

Regardless of the hiccup, McKee sees the cancellation on the bright side. So as the JoBros are asking their fans to while we get our sh-- together," McKee is already looking forward to her next gig.

"Everyone was really disappointed, and it happens, but I have a great ...

It's not hyperbole to say 17-year-old Mia Hall faces a life-or-death decision in Gayle Forman's 2009 novel "If I Stay." To wit, following a tragic car accident that claims the lives of her entire family and leaves her in a coma, Mia must decide whether to live or die. (Heady stuff, indeed.)

A big-screen adaptation has been in the works since Summit Entertainment optioned the young-adult tome in 2009, with Catherine Hardwicke originally slated to direct and Dakota Fanning set to star. The project eventually changed hands, landing at MGM with new director R.J. Cutler and lead Chloe Grace Moretz.

With Moretz in place, the search for her character's rock-n-roll love interest, Adam, began in earnest. "Snow White and the Huntsman" actor Jamie Blackley eventually landed the role.

Moretz recently stopped by MTV News and explained how Blackley charmed producers.

"It was so great. He just totally shined. We did an audition process with four to five boys," she recalled. "I don't know, just the way he walked in and the way he did the scene. He was just Adam. He's sexy and funny and sweet, and you can tell he's this rocker guy and at the same time he's got a heart. You're just like, 'Oh Jamie.' And he has an accent, even though he's not going to have an accent in the movie, but girls love accents. I'm like, 'Hey, you wanna read me a book? You want to sing a song for me?' "

Production begins in the coming weeks, and Moretz has been busy prepping for the role of ...

The girls of Fifth Harmony have come a long way since finishing in third place on last season of the "X Factor."

The fivesome — which consist of Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane Hansen, Camila Cabello and Lauren Jauregui — are the first "X Factor" alums to hit the Billboard Hot 100 with their hit "Miss Movin' On." They are about to hit the road for their first headlining tour Fifth Harmony 2013. On Tuesday, they released their EP Better Together, which is currently #2 on the iTunes charts.

On the day of release, the girls serenaded MTV News with two performances and sat down for a 30-minute interview during "Live From MTV." They opened up about the EP (they call it a "teenage girl little diary") and why they decided on those six tracks.

"We just really felt that they were right," Ally said. "And we were just excited to show them to everybody, and we were really most excited about that."

Camilla added, "It's a very eclectic group. It's like a sneak peek of what's to come on the album."

That's right, the next thing to mark off their extensive list is their debut album. The girls revealed that the LP will be released "sometime next year" and that they will be incorporating some of the tracks from the EP, plus some new ones.

Yet, before they get to all of that, they have to focus on their upcoming tour kicking off on Friday in Boston. They girls say it'll prepare them for the 2014 Neon Lights tour with ...

It took a 
 to stop a pop ruler on the Billboard Digital Songs chart.

After running the board for several weeks (while topping
 the Billboard Hot 100 tally), "Royals" by New Zealand's Lorde fell to #2 (256,000), taking a back seat to the third promotional track to be released from Eminem's upcoming The Marshall Mathers LP 2.


"Rap God" moved 270,000, which was a bit behind the 356,000 sold by "Berzerk" in its first week, but well ahead of the numbers for "Survival" (112,000).

The rest of the top 10: Katy Perry, "Roar" (#3, 189,000), Avicii, "Wake Me Up" (#4, 184,000), Cyrus, "Wrecking Ball" (#5, 165,000), Drake, "Hold On, We're Going Home" (#7, 107,000) and Ylvis, "The Fox (What Does the Fox Say?)" (#8, 104,000). The only newcomer in the tally was OneRepublic's "Counting Stars," which moved up a few spots to #9 thanks to sales of 103,000.

Pearl Jam Score Lucky #5
Twenty years into their almost guaranteed Rock and Roll hall of Fame career
, Pearl Jam clearly still have it. The group's 10th studio album, Lightning Bolt will become their second #1 debut in a row next week when it snatches the top spot from Miley Cyrus thanks to sales of 166,000, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan.

That's a tad below the 189,000 open ...
