Rapper Eminem is doing the right thing by hooking up with Spike Lee for his next video. Slim Shady was filming scenes for his next single, ‘Headlights,’ from his latest album, ‘Marshall Mathers LP 2,’ in Detroit.
Em went on Instagram to capture this historical moment for posterity. “Spike came out to the D for the ‘Headlights’ video…coming soon,” he wrote in the caption.
On Wednesday (April 2), Lee traveled to Detroit but didn’t say why he was visiting Motown. Although he did post a photo of the 8 Mile sign, which sort of gave it away.
The 57-year-old director went on his Instagram account on Saturday (April 5) to give props to Em and the city of Detroit.
“Detroit’s Finest EMINEM And Me Working Together On His Short a Film. Historic. Who Woulda Thunk It,” Lee wrote.
Spike Lee has directed several historic videos for big-name artists, including Naughty By Nature (‘Hip-Hop Hooray‘) and the late Michael Jackson (‘They Don’t Care About Us‘).
Eminem’s ‘Headlights‘ is an emotionally driven track featuring .fun’s singer Nate Ruess. On the song, Em apologizes to his mother for their stormy relationship.
So you can expect Spike Lee and Eminem to create a very dramatic visual for the song. We can’t wait to see it.

Rapper Papoose is out to prove that he is indeed the King of New York with his new single, ‘Current Events.’ The Brooklyn rhymer enlisted legendary producer DJ Premier to give him a boom-bap beat to spit his conversational punchlines.
Over a plodding beat, a victorian guitar riff and melodic keys, Pap details what’s currently lacking in hip-hop.
“N—-s ain’t ready to ride no mo’ / They used to try to keep it real / Now they don’t even try no mo’ / They don’t represent the style no mo’ / Ever since B.I.G. died, nobody’s ready to die no mo’,” he raps.
In the second verse, Papoose addresses the critics who scoffed at his proclamation that he’s a better rapper than Jay Z.
“I said that I’m better than Jigga cause I’m better than Jigga,” he spits. “I ain’t no rookie to this s—, I’m a veteran spitta. N—-s talk indirect, I step to them n—-s / I wouldn’t give a f— if it’s ten of them n—-s.”
Papoose’s ‘Current Events’ might not convince folks that he’s the best rapper out of New York, but he’s certainly proving that he’s worthy of the accolade.

The actor says that he used bad judgement after meeting 17-year-old teenager Luck Clode on Instagram. The actor also says that social media can be "tricky" since so many people are acting like anyone but themselves.
"I was feeling awkward," he said. "I'm embarrassed, and I guess I'm just a model of how social media is tricky. It's a way people meet each other today, but what I've learned, I guess just because I'm new to it, is you don't know who's on the other end. You meet somebody in person and you get a feel for them, you don't know who you're talking to. I used bad judgment and I learned my lesson."
Fans believe that the whole incident is major promo for his upcoming film, Palo Alto. In the flick, Franco plays teacher who is interested in one of his students, played by American Horror Story's Emma Roberts.
