Eminem’s Time-Tested Rhymes and a Blast from the Past, Fans Amused as Rapper Rocks a Vintage Blackberry
Eminem’s Time-Tested Rhymes and a Blast from the Past, Fans Amused as Rapper Rocks a Vintage Blackberry
Eminem, the iconic rap maestro with a career spanning over two decades, has left an indelible mark on the genre. While debates on the quality of his extensive discography persist, there’s no denying his immense influence and respect in the industry. Em has seamlessly adapted his style to the ever-changing rap landscape, but it seems his tech choices haven’t evolved at the same pace. Fans recently caught a glimpse of his tech nostalgia when a photo surfaced online featuring the rapper seemingly engrossed in his trusty old Blackberry.
The snapshot, shared by DJ Whoo Kid on Instagram, captures Eminem in his dressing room, prompting fans to raise their eyebrows at the vintage device in his hands. In the caption, DJ Whoo Kid playfully reveals, “He still has a Blackberry phone.” Amused reactions flooded the comments, with fans joking about the retro gadget. “LMAOOOO the Blackberry phone” and “Does using a Blackberry keep you from aging or what Slim!?” quipped two fans.
While much recent Eminem news stems from his explosive appearance on the new Lyrical Lemonade album, where he unleashed a diss track targeting Benzino and even name-dropped Coi Leray, a notable subplot emerged – Eminem’s loyalty to his classic Blackberry. This revelation sparked a humorous online exchange among fans.
Benzino, the recipient of Eminem’s lyrical jabs, responded with a couple of diss tracks of his own and addressed the beef on Drink Champs. However, the interview took an unexpected turn when Benzino became emotional, drawing additional criticism online. Despite the drama, Eminem’s choice of phone remained a quirky talking point among fans.
As the Blackberry saga continues, the question lingers: Is it Eminem’s sole mobile companion, or does he have a modern counterpart tucked away? Share your thoughts in the comment section below and join the conversation on Slim Shady’s enduring love for the Blackberry.

Sean MacLeod unveils a danceable rhythm with latest release “Inside Out (Radio Edit)”
Sean MacLeod‘s latest release, “Inside Out (Radio Edit)” is a fun, accessible tune that draws from the best of alternative rock, Britpop, and classic rock influences. There is an immediate sense of movement to the song, with guitars, bass, and drums forming a solid rhythmic foundation, while the tambourine adds extra brightness to the arrangement. Danceable, the track is light and energetic without veering too far from its rock identity.
MacLeod’s delivery on the song is very pleasant, his voice sits well over the instrumentation and keeps the melody front and center. “Inside Out (Radio Edit)” has a simple musical appeal, with vocals and a guitar-led arrangement, but the rhythm keeps the song moving from section to section.
The lyrical imagery of something shifting from nourishing to hard introduces a sense of tension and contrast. There is this idea of looking inside or outside that keeps coming up, adding another layer to the song’s point of view and suggesting a theme of awareness and how situations can appear from different directions.
Sean MacLeod keeps the production artistically focused on the familiar rock ingredients instead of overcrowding the arrangement. Cool guitar licks, a steady rhythm section, and tasteful percussion add character to the song, while the vocal delivery keeps it approachable. In the end, “Inside Out (Radio Edit)” finds MacLeod comfortably straddling the lines between alternative rock and pop-friendly turf, with an arrangement that emphasizes rhythm, melody, and an easy sense of forward motion.

THROES NYC unveils romance and tension on latest EP “The Wires Out EP”
THROES NYC’s latest EP, “The Wires Out,” a two-track EP, melds dark alt-pop, trip-hop, and electronic textures with a more melodic, pop-oriented sensibility. The release is a reflection of the creative connection of two Queens, New York natives, multi-instrumentalist/producer Michael Bozzo and vocalist Courtney Leo, who have been making music together since childhood. The project benefits from a natural sense of cohesion, thanks to their shared history, and the production keeps its focus on atmosphere and mood.
The EP begins with “Always, Baby” and is rooted in a world of beautiful ambient synths and late-night textures. The track is romantic, but it still retains the project’s darker undertones. Courtney Leo’s voice adds warmth to the electronic surroundings, giving the song a sense of intimacy and dreamy feelings.
“Something Chemical” continues the shift in emotional temperature, reinforcing the EP’s themes of tension, attraction, and complicated feelings. The production remains spacious and electronic-driven, which gives the two-track release a deep character without overwhelming its melodic path.
The strength in the record lies in the chemistry between Bozzo’s instrumental and production work and Leo’s vocal contribution, generating a sound that feels equally suited to headphones, nighttime listening, and reflective moments. THROES NYC is a project with a distinct sense of atmosphere, melody, and the long-lasting appeal of New York’s alternative music legacy.
