Eminem, Dr. Dre and Kid Rock will all appear on rapper Trick Trick's new album The Visitor. Eminem will make a rare cameo on The Villian track "Who Want It." Talking about the supposedly-now-obese Slim Shady, Trick Trick told MTV "He picked up a little weight. He can still run two miles if you want him to and still out-box the majority of them." Em's old mentor Dr. Dre also contributes, producing the song "Hold On," while the last-ever verse recorded by D-12 member Proof, who was killed in 2006, appears on "Together Forever." Of course, no Detroit album is complete without Kid Rock, who also features on "Together Forever." Now if only Trick Trick could get the White Stripes and Rip Hamilton involved, he'd have all his Detroit-related bases covered.

“1999”

Prince | 1982

“I don’t consider myself a great poet,” Prince told Rolling Stone. “I just know I’m here to say what’s on my mind.” In the case of the apocalyptic party anthem “1999,” he was worried about then-president Ronald Reagan’s foreign policies. The song’s melody is based on a riff borrowed from the Mamas and Papas’ “Monday, Monday,” and Prince originally envisioned the first verse with three-part harmony but later split the vocals between himself and members of the Revolution. Because Warner Bros., with whom Prince was locked in a contractual battle, owned the original’s masters, Prince rerecorded the song and appropriately released that version in 1999.
