Eminem is to stage a real-life 8 Mile rap battle to find a new star for Vibe magazine.
The Lose Yourself hitmaker played a wannabe hip-hopper, spitting out spontaneous rhymes, in the movie, and now he'll judge a similar contest.
Eminem will handpick the rap hopefuls for the Vibe Verses competition.
Those hoping to be selected for the rap attack are being asked to submit 60-second videos of themselves freestyling over the instrumental track from Eminem's Stan hit.
He says, "Battling is the way I came up, so it's gonna be interesting to watch a rap battle unfold online... MCs better bring it, because I'm watching."
Initial entries are due by 21 April (09) and Eminem will pick the top two finalists by 8 May (09). They will be flown to a special Vibe event, where the winner will be determined by an audience vote.
There's half of a great satire here, as Seth Rogen, James Franco and Evan Goldberg...
This lively and engaging documentary may be set out like an informercial, but it teaches...
Hip hop has always been more of a culture than just a genre of music....
