DJ Khaled wants an Eminem verse for his new We The Best Forever album bad. In a sit down with MTV, Khaled tells Shaheem Reid that a Eminem & Khaled collabo is long over due and the streets are asking for this collaboration. Funny thing is, I have been on the streets, and blogs, and I have yet to see anyone ask for this.
“The collaboration I want to make happen and the people want to make happen is a DJ Khaled/ Eminem collaboration. I know if I get with Eminem and put him on one of my anthems … ’cause I make these anthems. I got something so special in my drive that for Eminem on there.”
“The album is called We The Best Forever. There’s only certain people who could be on this album,” he said. “It’s time, I think I deserve it. The streets deserve it. When [Eminem] meets me personally, he’s gonna see this energy. He’s gonna understand why these anthems come out like that. I’m gonna sit with him, and we gonna vibe. I know what he’s gonna do: He’s gonna go crazy!”
If I was in C.O. in 2004, I would have not sold no records…
The PLK sat down with The Round Table for some Q&A’s. Around the 2:20 mark, Lloyd talks about the Unit’s beef with Rick Ross and not being able to stop the BAWSE’s movement as they did with other rappers. When it all boils down to it, Ross has provided a lot of GOOD music, something the critics believe the Unit has not provided in several years. Lloyd also notes that even Ja Rule once said that he did not get it as bad as Ross.
More of Lloyds interview & freestyle with the Round Table after the cut.

T.I. is in trouble with the law once again. T.I. & his wife Tameka aka Tiny were arrested in West Hollywood last night after police smelled marijuana from the couple’s vehicle during a traffic stop. T.I. currently has the number one movie in America, but more importantly, T.I. is still under federal probation stemming from his weapons charges related to purchasing machine guns and silencers back in 2007. At press time, the couple was still being held on a 10,000 bond. What, no weed carriers T.I.?
