Does Eminem deserve to get into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? Obviously! But his inclusion among the nominees for the class of 2022 has raised equally obvious questions about whether it’s right for him to be inducted before rap legends and pioneers who preceded him, from Rakim to Snoop Dogg.

On Tuesday, most of Andy Fales’ friends at work were laid off.
Fales holds down one-half of “Murph and Andy,” a sports talk radio show that airs every afternoon on Des Moines, Iowa’s Kxno. That morning, Fales rolled into work, like numerous iHeartMedia employees around the country, only to find out that the company had cut a large number of employees in the name of “transforming … operating structure.”
“The thing that pisses me off is that stuff [like this] happens and people say, ‘Well, you know, it’s corporate America, this is how it goes,...

Oh “hey,” it’s Dubya.
As a Justice Department special prosecutor began work investigating the nation’s current president on Wednesday, former President George W. Bush brought some much-needed levity to the political world with a well-timed photobomb that has already captured the Internet’s heart.
While taking in a Texas Rangers game with wife Laura Bush in Arlington, Texas, on Wednesday night, the former president walked by Fox Sports reporter Emily Jones and popped his head onscreen to say “hey.”
“My most favorite photo bomb ever!” Jones later tweeted of the moment.

With the release of Recovery earlier this week, Eminem is back in the spotlight after delivering his second album in just over a year. The projects, Recovery and 2009's Relapse, bookend the rapper's return from a five-year, drug-impaired hiatus.

"My expectations for Relapse were very low, 'cause this is a man coming back, basically, from hell," Keith Murphy, Vibe senior editor,...
