Eminem Will Perform At First Ever YouTube Music Video Awards

[GreenL420]

Billboard counts YouTube views on its charts. MTV stopped being M(usic) television a decade ago. In one of the most preordained moves in recent memories, YouTube will hold its first ever Music Video Awards.

The inaugural award show will celebrate the most viewed YouTube videos over the past year based on global music-video views and shares. The nominations will be released on October 17th and fans will be able to vote through social media after the nominations are made. A few big name performers have already been announced. According to Variety, Eminem and Lady Gaga are set to perform at the event.

Filmmaker Spike Jonze, who will be the award show creative director promises the event will “feel like a YouTube video itself”:

We’re getting together a group of amazing artists and filmmakers to do this live — tune in to see what happens live.

The award show will feature performances from all over the globe including Moscow, Seoul, London and Brazil.

The award show will be a live event at New York City’s Pier 36 on Sunday November 3rd. Eminem’s highly anticipated upcoming album The Marshall Mathers LP 2 will be released on November 5th. In 2010, Eminem’s video for “Love The Way You Lie” featuring Rihanna broke YouTube’s single day view record by gaining over 6.6 million views in 24 hours.

Youtube is a force in the music industry to be reckoned with. It helped launch the careers of some of today's biggest money earners in the business and launched the careers of thousands of other people. It's a multi billion dollar company that makes up over 50% of all music videos watched in the world. People ain't checking MTV, BET for videos anymore. They all do their music video watching thru Youtube. So it's not that far fetched of an idea to have an award show. I think for anyone to prejudge this without any understanding of it only shows that persons level ignorances.

[El Charro]

That Em shit is played out to me, maybe if were still a pre-teen who loved listening to pure psychosis only to have a chuckle, I'd be peepin it out.

Youtube make nobodys and garbage artists well known, and this is only because a the internet hype around a song or artist. Youtube gives dumbasses a change to share their stupidness with the world. I like internet, but there is too much bullshit on it.

You're right, there sure is a lot of bullshit on the internet. And Youtube does give dumb-asses a chance to share their stupidness with the world.

BTW (unrelated) when are you upping your next interview to Youtube?

[Exodus]

well, I dont have to because it's all a matter of taste (fortunately) ...Recovery (Eminem) and Undisputed (DMX) were the best 2 rap albums of the last years ...MY OPINION

Chauvinist pig, drove in this big Lincoln
Till it went over the bridge, jumped out and dove in the ditch
Broke in a mobile home and stole a stove and a fridge
Kidnapped the parents and left the ransom note for the kids
I'mma go for your mids, here's a body blow for your ribs
While you're clutching your stomach and bleeding all over your bitch
I know where you live, your girl showed me your crib
Unless she told me a fib, then I'mma have both of ya did
Burning incense, facing a murder sentence
Under intense investigation for killing infants
While I sit in padded rooms doing shrooms
Having visions of dead pregnant women with brooms jabbed in they wombs
Slit your carpet and rugs and fuck your apartment up
Sticking it far with drugs, and jumping in garbage trucks
I'm from the shitty slums that look like the city dumps
Give you a kidney punch, and mug you to get me lunch
See me every summer laying up against the dumpster
With a hundred dollar jumper smothered in Southern Comfort
Got my Slim Shady sticker on your mother's bumper
She came home screaming, a bunch of motherfuckers jumped her



The one man on the planet that'll drive off of the Grand Canyon
Hop out of a Grand Am and land in it handstandin
Any man plannin to battle will get snatched out of his clothes
so fast it'll look like an invisible man standin
I'm headed for Hell, I'd rather be dead or in jail
Bill Clinton, hit this (here) and you better inhale
Cause any MC that chooses to go against me
is gettin takin advantage of like Monica Lewinksy (Leave me alone!)
Came home in a frenzy, pushin a ten speed
Screamin to Aunt Peg (AUNT PEG!!!!)
with three spokes stickin out of my pant leg
Fuck a headache, give me a migraine
Damnit I like pain (AHH!)
and you should be anywhere that a mic ain't
You rap knowin you wack
You act up and I'm throwin you down a flight of steps
then I'm throwin you back up em
If they don't like the track, fuck em
The rap struck em harder then gettin hit by a Mack truck
and then backed up on
And any half-assed known rapper to trespass
better be ready for the second Celebrity Deathmatch (Ding! Ding!)
So tell the medic to bring the medication and quickly (Hurry up man!)
I'm sicker than a Tupac dedication to Biggie
I'm free-fallin feet first out of a damn tree
to stampede your chest 'til you can't breathe
And when I'm down to my last breath
I'ma climb the Empire State Building and get to the last step
and still have half left


Warning, this shit's gon be rated R, restricted
You see this bullet hole in my neck? It's self inflicted
Doctor slapped my momma, "Bitch you got a sick kid"
Arrested, molested myself and got convicted
Wearing visors, sunglasses and disguises
Cause my split personality is having an identity crisis
I'm Dr. Hyde and Mr. Jekyll, disrespectful
Hearing voices in my head while these whispers echo
"Murder Murder Redrum"
Brain size of a bread crumb
Which drug will I end up dead from
Inebriated, till my stress is eleviated
"How in the fuck can Eminem and shady be related?"
Illiterate, illigitimate shit spitter
Bitch getter, hid in the bush like Margot Kidder
Jumped out (Ahhhh!) killed the bitch and did her
Use to let the babysitter suck my dick when I was little'er
Smoke a blunt while I'm titty fuckin Bette Midler
Sniper, waiting on your roof like the Fiddler
Y'all thought I was gonna rhyme with Riddler
Didn't Ya? Bring your bitch I wanna see if this dick gon' fit in her

[Chorus: Eminem + (Redman Sample) - 2X]
[E] I'm low down and I'm shiftee!
"And if you hear a man that sounds like me smack him
and ask him where the fuck did he get his damn raps from.."

I lace tunes, I'm out this world like Space Moons
With a bunch crazed loons dismissin brains like braze wounds
Nothing but idiots and misfits, dipshits
Doing whippits, passed out like Sanford snippits
Where's the weed, I wanna tamper with it
I'ma let your grandpa hit it
Mix it up with cocaine so her can't forget it
Fuck it, maybe I'm a bum
But I was put on this earth to make your baby mama cum
So what I'm on is way beyond the bomb or any alcoholic beverage
Losing all of my leverage
Went up inside the First National Bank broke, and left rich
Walking bio-hazard causing wreckage
Smoked out like Eckridge
Band just making my neck itch
What the fuck? Gimme the tech bitch
You just lost your tip, there's a pubic hair in my breakfast
Got shit popping off like bottle cap tips
Get your cap peeled like the dead skin of your mama's chapped lips
Slap hips, support domestic violence
Beat your bitches ass while your kids stare in silence
I'm just joking, is Dirty Dozen's really dust smoking?
If all your shit's missing, than probably one of us broke in

[Chorus]

My head's ringing, like it was Spider Sense tingling
Lit it like Green Bay did when they shitted on New England
I'm out the game, put the second string in
This Brandy got my swinging
Bobbing back and forth like a penguin
Delinquent, toking microphones with Broken English
Make your mama be like "Ohh! This is good! Who sing this?"
"Slim Shady, his tape is dope, I love it
It's rugged, but he needs to quit talking all that drug shit."
It was predicted by a medic
I'd grow to be an addicted diabetic
Living off liquid Triametic
Pathetic, but I don't think this headache's ever vanishing
Panicing, I think I might have just took too much Anasin
Frozen Manaquin, posted stiffer than a statue
I think I'm dying, God is that you?
Somebody help me, before I OD on an LP
Take me to ER ASAP for and IV
Motherfuck JLB, they don't support no hip hop
They say that's where it ends, the closest they gon come is Tupac
It's politics, it's all a fix
Setup by these white blue collared hicks
Just to make a dollar off of black music
With a subliminal ball of tricks
But those can kiss ass and swallow dicks


Just some nice verses from Em, who said he can't rap?
