[Video] Eminem Interview with Zane Lowe
BBC 1's Zane Lowe is increasingly becoming the de facto interview for post-release public relations, if you're face belongs on the hip-hop Mount Rushmore. Eminem followed in Kanye's footsteps, appearing for an in depth, sit down interview with the British show host. Ever an interesting guest, Eminem opened up about the pressure of calling his latest album The Marshall Mather LP 2, what it was like to work with Rick Rubin and his own forays into production before doing a live performance of "Berzerk" in studio with a band. For his part, Em jokes that peeing on the floor might be the only way to top Kanye, I'd say the performance was pretty convincing. Check it all out for yourself below.

[Video] Jimmy Kimmel Responds to Kanye
So this has to be one of the more memorable rap beefs I've come across. Kanye West, because no one can make fun of Kanye West, decided to go on a Twitter rant against Jimmy Kimmel after Kimmel spoofed an interview 'Ye did with BBC's Zane Lowe. In the spoof video, a kid simply plays Kanye and repeats the same things he did. In any event, West isn't happy. Like, Pusha T listening party agravated. Regardless, it looks like the hiatus we had since the last weird Kanye meltdown is coming to an end. For his part, Kimmel does a great job at actually addressing all of the Tweets in real time last night on his show. "I saw the video"
