Last month, Eminem celebrated the milestones of two of his most critically acclaimed albums: The Marshall Mathers LP, released in May of 2000, and The Eminem Show, released in June of 2002. Most of the celebration was for the former, as it was celebrating its 20th anniversary. As for The Eminem Show, one of its most memorable moments came when Eminem rattled off his list of greatest rappers of all-time, one that included himself, Redman, Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G., Tupac, Andre 3000, Jadakiss, Kurupt, and Nas. Eighteen years later, the Detroit legend has provided an updated version of that list.

YouTuber NoLifeShaq recently put out a video where he DM’ed 30 rappers asking for their pics for greatest rappers of all time. Normally quiet, Eminem surprisingly offered a response, rattling off a list over a pair of tweets. The list, he said, was “in no particular order,” and in it he named Lil Wayne, Tupac (who he said “might be the greatest songwriter of all time “), Royce Da 5’9”, Jay-Z, Redman, Treach, Kool G Rap, Notorious B.I.G., Kxng Crooked (who he called the most underrated rapper), LL Cool J, Nas, Joyner Lucas, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Andre 3000, Rakim, and Big Daddy Kane.

Eminem is just the latest rapper to give his list of greatest rappers of all time. Ludacris shared his list of top five flows, which included Andre 3000, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Jay-Z, and Lil Wayne. Drake also shared his list of top five rappers, which included B.I.G., Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Andre 3000, and OVO Hush.

Check out Eminem’s tweets above to see his list.

Ron Perlman plays a lot of reactionary tough guys — perhaps most notably Clarence “Clay” Morrow on Sons of Anarchy — but in real life he’s an outspoken progressive. He’s often bragged about giving Harvey Weinstein a “pee handshake.” He also tweets a lot, mostly about politics, and he doesn’t mince words when talking about the current administration. So when he got some pushback from one of Trump’s biggest allies over social media, Perlman responded in kind.

It began Saturday night, when the former Hellboy called out Florida Representative Matt Gaetz — one of the president’s most loyal lapdogs, known for, among other oddities, cryptically threatening Michael Cohen, prompting much online mockery — for a tweet denouncing the U.S.’s wildly successful national soccer team, who famously had no interest in accepting congrats from a president they despised.

“The US Soccer team called and you guessed it… said they couldn’t give any less of a f*ck about what you two dips*its think,” Perlman tweeted, tagging both Gaetz and Trump.

Sunday morning, Gaetz responded:

“This racial justice warrior had no problem in Hollywood portraying the White Supremacist leader of a motorcycle gang,” Gaetz wrote, adding a Sons of Anarchy hashtag. The politician — who was dragged online last year for seeming to think old children’s entertainer Captain Kangaroo referred to kangaroo courts — apparently doesn’t understand what acting is, to Perlman’s amusement.

“Yessir, so true! So rewarding playing a*sholes on tv,” Perlman wrote, adding, “Tell me sir, how is it actually being one?” Gaetz didn’t let that one go.

“Honestly? The fact that Hollywood thinks I’m an a*shole is a badge of honor,” Gaetz wrote, prompting one more reply from Perlman. “You wouldn’t be tweeting about me if my message weren’t true & effective. Threatens your wokeness. How triggered will you be when @realDonaldTrump is re-elected? More or less than when crooked lost?”

“Speaking of Woke Matty, do you think it’s just Hollywood that thinks you’re an a*shole?” Perlman responded. “Read the comments, I’ll wait…”

Gaetz responded by talking about the size of the district he represents. The tweet that started it all is currently pinned at the top of Gaetz’s feed.

B. Simone has had an up-and-down 2020, to say the least. Her year began with her introduction to the mainstream after she played DaBaby’s ride-or-die lover in his video for “Find My Way.” She then put out her first book, Baby Girl Manifest The Life You Want, which she claimed made her a millionaire. However, this past week things went left, as accusations of plagiarism turned up from all corners of social media. She was quickly written off — an action Meek Mill sees as a bit hypocritical.

“B Simone canceled because she finessed a book and made her way from the bottom lol what major companies y’all cancel for ripping our culture off?” Meek asked his followers on Twitter. “finding ways to display hate towards our own when they start doing good is showing amongst us a lot!”

When a fan responded to Meek’s tweet saying, “She finessed her ‘own’ though hella different cuz,” Meek offered a response that he hoped would help fans look at the situation differently. “N****s rap about selling drugs and a life they didn’t live is that not finessing their own tho? A Louie shirt a stack … a Chanel 5500$ I don’t even think they donate to blacks they number one in our culture … Im just getting confused what we standing for collectively.”

Meek’s initial tweet would kick off a string of others relating to canceling some individuals and groups and not others. At the end of it all, he would later admit to not knowing what B. Simone was being canceled for, but was just “tired of seeing blacks canceling blacks.”

Meek Mill is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Edge is half of the most hyped match on tonight’s WWE Backlash pay-per-view, his WrestleMania rematch with Randy Orton that’s been promoted as “The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever.” Now, outlets including Fightful and the Wrestling Observer are reporting that Edge suffered an injury during the filming of the match.

Edge vs. Orton is Backlash’s one pre-taped match; the rest of the show airs live on the WWE Network today. Fightful Select reports that Edge tore a tricep during that taping. So far, there’s no word on at what point in the taping the injury occurred or if it changed anything about the outcome or content of the match.

The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever is Edge’s third in WWE since he retired in 2011 due to neck issues. After an emotional return at the 2020 Royal Rumble, he began feuding with his former tag partner Randy Orton, which led to a long Last Man Standing match at WrestleMania in April. The feud continued after WWE’s biggest show of the year on Raw, with a challenge laid out for a rematch that would achieve “greatest ever” status and characters like Christian and Ric Flair weighing in on the bout.

Edge is currently signed to a multi-year deal with WWE.

Remember new movies? While the pandemic and its resulting nationwide quarantine hasn’t completely stopped the flow of films — art house titles and even a few studio blockbusters have been made available online — there aren’t as many as there once were. Most big titles, from No Time to Kill to Tenet to Wonder Woman 1984, have been delayed for a time when movie theaters will again be safe to visit. But what does that mean for next year’s Oscars?

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences is already considering that question. And reportedly they’re set to vote on two matters: delaying the ceremony and extended the eligibility window.

The big night has been scheduled for Feb. 28, 2021, but with no end to the pandemic in sight — and with a possible second wave en route, possibly in early autumn — the Academy’s governors are considering delaying it by as many as eight weeks. As for eligibility, the cut-off has long been at year’s end, but that may be extended, though it’s unclear to which date.

One issue that won’t be broached, at least not yet, is the format of the show: Will it be in-person or virtual? That matter will be tackled later, when we see where we are with the still rampaging coronavirus, but there’s a chance it will be the first Oscars held over Zoom.

Delaying the Oscars is not new. It’s happened three times: in 1938, in response to flooding in Los Angeles; in 1968, following the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.; and in 1981 after the attempted assassination of then-president Ronald Reagan. The eligibility window has been extended before as well, but not since the 1934 ceremony, which covered movies released over a 17 month period, from August 1932 through December 31, 1933.

Meanwhile, another major awards show — this year’s Tony Awards — had to be rescheduled, though a new date has not been chosen.
