On December 12th, at an event billed as Alabama Pride, DMX will show off the brawling skills he earned on the mean streets of Yonkers, NY in an MMA exhibition bout vs. “musician” and Power Moves Entertainment CEO, Eric Martinez. AHH reports that Martinez is also a member of X’s management team. Bizarre, but sure to be enormously entertaining.

Video: Royce Da 5’9″ – Street Hop Pt. 1 (Talks In Depth About Shady Records, Young Money)

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

You got Young Money, they’re on top right now. They do a certain type of music, and I support that music. Slaughterhouse is the exact opposite of Young Money. If you put a machine of that magnitude behind Slaughterhouse, Slaughterhouse is going to do anything Young Money can do. I’ll put every dollar that I have on that. Not going against Young Money, not having a Slaughterhouse vs. Young Money, none of that. I’m talking about balancing hip-hop.

“Who’s to say Slaughterhouse and Eminem ain’t did a record already?” And then he laughed. I caught up with Slaughterhouse member and Detroit emcee Royce Da 5’9 yesterday after his MTV interview made hip-hop headlines when he confirmed the Shady Records rumors.

He answered three of the biggest questions fans have been asking and compared the situation to what Young Money has been able to do, which, in my opinion, was a great analogy. He finished by saying, “Slaughterhouse signing to Shady Records is not a guarantee to me or to Slaughterhouse.”
