As Eminem has proven time and again, he’s one of the best lyricists of all-time. And whether he’s singing, like he did back on “Hallie’s Song,” or rapping at a frenetic — and, at times, nearly indecipherable — pace, like he did on “Rap God,” his words are worth catching.

He made that process a lot easier on Thursday (September 18), with the release of a lyric video for his latest single, “Guts Over Fear,” featuring Sia.

Though it’s not Em at his toughest to keep up with, the track does get a bit of a new life when the rhymes can come off the page (or, actually, the screen), like they do here. Navigating an animated cityscape, the Detroit native’s syllables bounce, bend and float, crossing streets and scaling buildings.

The song was not only included in the trailer to the new Denzel Washington film “The Equalizer,” but it also serves as the lead single for the upcoming Shady Record album, Shady XV, which is due out on November 24.

When we asked Jay Z for a Roc-A-Fella reunion last month, we knew it was a long shot. But the chances that the crew gets back together might be better than we hoped.

“It’s definitely a possibility,” former Roc member Freeway said during a visit to “Sway in the Morning,” while promoting his new collaborative album, Highway Robbery, alongside the Jacka. “Me, myself, I’m trying to make it happen to the best of my abilities.”

Free wanting to make it happen is a great start, but there are plenty of other moving pieces — notably, Jay Z, who’s the biggest star and the co-founder of the label. And though he’s no longer signed to Hov, the Philly rapper says that the two still speak. “Jay the big homie,” he said. “Of course [we talk].”

In addition to those two, the reunion would ideally include guys like Kanye West, Beanie Sigel, State Property, Memphis Bleek, Cam’ron and the Diplomats.

So, don’t hold your breath — but don’t give up hope yet, either.

“It’s talked about right now,” Free said. “Insha’Allah it’ll work out.”

While people around the country are already in line for the latest in Apple product shininess, former U.S. President Bill Clinton shared a photo this Throwback Thursday (September 18) reminding us that computers didn’t always fit in our pockets. Oh! And that they weren’t always oh-so sleek ‘n’ lovely.

“I sent my first (ever!) email to John Glenn… while he was in space with @NASA. #TBT,” Clinton wrote on Twitter, thereby shaming all of us whose first email was sent to our first-grade penpal in Greenland (not naming names here).

A former U.S. Senator and astronaut, Glenn was the first American to orbit the earth in 1962 and later traveled on the space shuttle Discovery in 1998. We’re guessing that Clinton shot off that email on Glenn’s second trip, on which the then-77-year-old planned to serve as a guinea pig for geriatric studies.

Something something joke about geriatric studies and that ancient laptop. Something something.

As college campuses around the country come buzzing to life, many students are preparing to take future-changing classes and make friends that will last forever. Some students, however, may have their lives altered in much less positive ways — students like Columbia senior Emma Sulkowicz, who has vowed to carry a mattress around her university until her alleged rapist is removed from campus.

It’s for students such as these that MTV has partnered with President Obama and Vice President Biden to help support the launch of their new campaign called “It’s On Us,” which focuses on preventing sexual assaults before they happen — with an emphasis on men stepping forward and intervening.

Obama previously spoke about sexual assault this year, saying, “We can do more to make sure that every young man out there — whether they’re in junior high or high school or college or beyond — understands what’s expected of them and what it means to be a man, and to intervene if they see somebody else acting inappropriately.”

In an effort to raise awareness about sexual assault and rape, MTV News has compiled a list of facts about survivors, attackers and the aftermath of assault below:

On Survivors

1. 1 out of every 6 American women has been either raped or almost raped in her lifetime.

2. 1 in 5 women in the U.S. is sexually assaulted in college — ...

When you think of a Chief Keef song, you think of a certain sound. There’s usually hard, percussive beats, with booming bass. There’s usually some sort of chant-like chorus that’s frustratingly catchy. And there’s always the Chicago native’s brooding voice guiding the track.

Keef’s latest song, “Wait,” has some of that — but there’s one major difference: His voice is higher-pitched and faster than anything we’ve heard before.

That’s because the song, which the “Don’t Like” rapper released on YouTube and produced himself, is sped-up, giving it a rare sonic quality (in the YouTube post, Keef wrote that the song was “speeded”).

There’s still no date on his new album, Bang 3, so for now, we’ll have to wait. And listen to “Wait.”

Against Me! frontwoman Laura Jane Grace is a brave person — from coming out as a transgender woman in Rolling Stone to penning her truly heartbreaking (yet, god-this-is-amazing) record Transgender Dysphoria Blues. Now, she has decided to lay it all bare in her new webseries, “True Trans With Laura Jane Grace.”

She’s a brave, inspiring person, yes, but she also admits that she doesn’t have it all figured out yet — and neither do any of us, really.

When Grace was given the chance to create her own show for AOL Originals, she jumped at the opportunity to reach out to all the people she had admired from afar over the years — other people dealing with gender dysphoria, an issue she had been grappling with for as long as she can remember. Over the course of touring with Against Me!, Grace spoke with different people every day — sometimes several interviews occurring each day — and learned that she’s not the only one in a constant state of flux and learning.

“It was really reassuring just hearing how varied everyone’s end-definition of what gender means to them is,” Grace told MTV News. “Reassuring in my own way in still trying to figure that out. Having other people say it who are further along in their transition or further along in life — [who] just have more experience — hearing them be like, ‘Well, I don’t ...

Miley’s In Trouble Again
Miley Cyrus may be fined by Mexico’s federal government after getting her butt spanked with the country’s flag by one of her dancers at her show on Tuesday night in Monterrey. In lawmakers’ eyes, the act was disrespectful (it also happened to be Mexico’s Independence Day), and one official from the region, Francisco Trevino, stated that she may either have to cough up $1,200 or be kept in custody for three days.

I’m Surprised She Hasn’t Gone All ‘Black Widow’ On Him
Iggy Azalea‘s ex-boyfriend Jefe Wine has to be the worst ex-boyfriend ever, because aside from all the sex tape controversy he’s stirred up, he also leaked songs of hers from 2008, which the rapper is suing him for. She took the lawsuit to California court on Wednesday with nine complaints, including copyright infringement, and said that Wine stole the previously unreleased tracks from her personal computer and put them out without her permission.

Ansel Elgort is back on the big screen as a teen named Tim Mooney dealing with serious angst and trying to win the heart of that special girl ...

Iggy Azalea is heading to court over some leaks, and no, it has nothing to do with the rumored sex tape. This lawsuit centers on songs that she says were leaked without her permission.

The “He Ain’t Goin’” rapper filed the case in California court on Wednesday (September 17), according to The Hollywood Reporter. There are a total of nine complaints in the suit, including copyright infringement.

She names multiple defendants, including Maurice Williams, also known as Jefe Wine, who in recent days has made claims that he is in possession of the aforementioned alleged sex tape, as well as a contract that allows him to sell it. Although these items are not explicitly referenced in the complaint, there is a mention of “promotional videos featuring an impersonator of Azalea.”

Iggy’s music is at the heart of this case, specifically a handful of songs that she says she recorded — pre-fame, in 2008 — on her personal computer that were stolen and then released by Williams. There’s also a claim about a forged contract.

The “Fancy” rapper is looking to be repaid in a number of ways, notably with “compensatory damages plus interest at the legal rate.”

“If Pirus and Crips all got along,” Kendrick Lamar rapped in the opening line of his 2012 track “m.A.A.d City,” offering a scenario that sounded implausible to many, after years of violence between the two gangs. But maybe he’s working towards a peace.

Kendrick released the cover art for his highly-anticipated new single, called “i,” on Wednesday (September 17), and it features the lower body of a man dressed in blue on the left, and one dressed in red on the right. The colors evoke thoughts of gang affiliation — particularly since K. Dot has frequently rapped about the gang violence he witnessed growing up, like on “m.A.A.d. City” — but the signs the two men are throwing aren’t gang-affiliated; they’re hearts.

What could this mean for the track?

Of course, all we can do is speculate, but maybe the Compton native is trying to unite otherwise-splintered factions of Los Angeles with his new music. Could it be an anti-violence anthem? Maybe it’s a love song. Probably not, but who knows.

There’s a good chance we won’t have to wait too long to find out, though. There’s speculation that the single, which is produced by Rahki (who did bonus track “Black Boy Fly” off of good kid, m.A.A.d city) is supposed to drop next week. That’s a pretty good sign that a new album should be on the way.

You should probably stop whatever else you’re doing. If you don’t, it’ll be hard to keep up with the rhymes Lupe Fiasco delivers on his new song, “Pu$$y.”

Actually, even if you’re sitting in a room by yourself, with the lights off, and nothing but a computer or phone to play this song on, it still might be tough to keep up. But do your best.

The four-and-a-half minute lyrical exercise dropped on Wednesday (September 17), with production by MoeZ’art and Billy Blue on the hook. And while both of them definitely do their thing, this one is about Lupe’s dizzying raps.

Safe to say, he’s back on his “Super Lupe Rap” here, with no plans to “Dumb It Down.”

The Chicago native’s fifth album, Tetsuo & Youth, is still on the way.
