The News

As you can see from the gif up there, Em's website kept fans up to date. When was he going to shoot a music video? All you had to do was log on to the website to find out. What was happening with D-12 or Dr. Dre? The website had that stuff, too.

Behind The Scenes Stories: But beyond the touring, video shooting and album release date info, the site also offered glimpses behind-the-scenes. For example, did you know that MMLP was meant to feature a tribute to Em's late uncle Ronnie?

"They both started getting into rap music at the same time, and used to practice early recordings as a loose 'group,' with the two of them beatboxing and freestyling on cheap home recordings," the site explained. "Em came across one of the tapes recently, and asked his grandmother, Ronnie's mother, whether he could use the cassette on his next album as a tribute to Ronnie. At first, she said fine. After a dispute over a separate matter with Em, she said 'no way' and threatened to sue him if he used it. THAT'S IT! The album hasn't been completed, the tape was never added, it was just an idea. If his grandmother won't let him use the tape and pay tribute to her deceased son, so be it. It won't be used."

Boy Band Hatred: On a lighter note (for those who are anti boy bands anyway), Em's site also dissed pop groups with the same passion Shady did.

"The big day is coming, 9/9/99," one entry said. "Watch Shady's performance with Dr. Dre (and a surprise guest) on the '99 MTV Video Music Awards. And won't you all be happy to see N'Suck and Wackstreet Boys take home all the moon men? If Shady doesn't win one, its up to you guys to send all the rotten eggs to 1515 B'Way. (just kidding, really...)"
