Old, Lost Eminem Tracks You Never Knew or Forgot Were Flame: PART 1

Eminem has a lot of hits. But he's also had a lot of dope tracks that a lot of people don't know about/remember because they weren't on any of his solo albums. I'm not talking about shit like "Renegade" with JAY Z, because that was on JAY's album. I'm talking about tracks that leaked, were freestyles, were on bonus albums, soundtracks, or just random tracks released on a whim. Browse through below and check out PART 2 HERE.

I'm cleaning out my iTunes library and came across this gem of a track that a lot of people don't know about. "Stimulate" was on the bonus disc to the 8 Mile soundtrack. Lyrically, and subject matter-wise, "Stimulate" is a mix of tale end Marshall Mathers LP and early Eminem Show. Straight flame.

Hit the jump for the rest.

Straight Outta Compton [Red Band Trailer for the Upcoming NWA Biopic)

Universal Pictures is releasing the NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton later this year, and during last night's Grammy awards (yawn), they aired a teaser commercial for the pic. The teaser features Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, both deeply involved in producing Straight Outta Compton, driving around the city and talking about what NWA meant (they also chat with fellow Compton rappers Game and Kendrick Lamar for good measure). Per Universal:

In the mid-1980s, the streets of Compton, California, were some of the most dangerous in the country. When five young men translated their experiences growing up into brutally honest music that rebelled against abusive authority, they gave an explosive voice to a silenced generation. Following the meteoric rise and fall of N.W.A., Straight Outta Compton tells the astonishing story of how these youngsters revolutionized music and pop culture forever the moment they told the world the truth about life in the hood and ignited a cultural war.

Straight Outta Compton was directed by F. Gary Gray (Friday, Set It Off, The Italian Job) and stars O’Shea Jackson Jr. as Ice Cube (yes — that's Ice Cubes son), Corey Hawkins as Dr. Dre, Jason Mitchell as Eazy-E, and Paul Giamatti as their manager Jerry Heller. Straight Outta Compton hits theaters August 14th, 2015.
