Guilty Simpson

Advice for Eminem on his birthday

Eminem

Adam Graham of the Detroit News explores different ways for Eminem to successfully return to the spotlight.

Among them is “Innovate, not renovate”, with Guilty Simpson chiming in.

Innovate, not renovate: Instead of following or kowtowing to current hip-hop trends (still smarting from Em’s urging to “get it crunk” on “Encore’s” closing track?), Eminem should follow his own muse. In other words, let’s not release a ringtone-ready single with a hot YouTube-able dance craze, mmmkay? “I don’t think he has to change according to the game, he can change the game,” says Detroit rapper Guilty Simpson. “I think that’s where a lot of artists go wrong: They try to capture a certain element of the temperature of the game. But if you’re not a new artist trying to break in, what excuse do you really have following trends and not setting them?”

Detroit Hip Hop’s best to be honored tonight

Adam Graham of the Detroit News has written about tonight’s Detroit Hip Hop Awards show.

Killa Kaunn, K-Deezy and Marv Won are among those nominated for this year’s Detroit Hip-Hop Awards, which will be handed out tonight at Plan B in Detroit.

The show, now in its fifth year, aims to celebrate and reward the brightest and best in the Detroit hip-hop community.

“It’s an event that says, ‘We recognize what you’re doing. Maybe others don’t, but we do,’ ” says Mike “Money Mic” Matkin, who along with DJ Knice co-founded the event in 2003.

Awards will be handed out in almost 20 categories, including Song, Album and Video of the Year fields. Performers include Trick Trick, Tone Tone, Guilty Simpson, Black Milk and more. Phat Kat will be receiving the Detroit Recognition Award, a top honor that in previous years has gone to Proof, DJ House Shoes and Eminem’s manager, Paul Rosenberg.

The awards themselves are voted on by visitors at detroithiphop.com, which Matkin runs.

Matkin says he hears from nominees that the recognition from the awards show gives them the fuel they need to pursue their hip-hop dreams on a larger scale.

“It gives them that boost so they can say, ‘I’m doing what I should be doing,’ ” he says. “It’s not a Grammy, but it’s a Detroit Grammy.”

You can reach Adam Graham at (313) 222-2284 or agraham@det news.com.
