Eminem To Join N.W.A For A European Tour

Renowned American hip-hop group N.W.A. is rumored to be reuniting again with the rapper Eminem for a tour to support the launching of their movie, according to reports.

Reports say that the remaining members of N.W.A, MC Ren, DJ Yella, Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, are said to be getting ready for a tour in Europe to promote their new film 'Straight Outta Compton', a story that revolves around different lives.

Eminem on the other hand, will join the N.W.A to fill for Eazy-E, a member of the group who died 20 years ago.

While there have been no specific details about the tour and other shows that the two might be collaborating in the long run, chairman Donna Langley from the Universal Pictures said that they think the tandem would really 'create a lot of buzz'.

"We don't have anything settled yet with everyone's schedules, but we think it can create a lot of buzz."

For the first time in 26 years, three of the N.W.A members except Dr. Dre, were reunited a few months ago during the BET 2015 awards night in June.

Though Dre was not able to make it to the BET N.W.A reunion, it seems like he's now ready and all set to hit the stage again with the band.

Eminem, who has been a protege of Dre for the longest time and they had even worked for more than a decade, is believed to be the perfect fit for the tour.

Besides noting his relationship with one of the N.W.A members, Eminem is also included in the movie's soundtrack together with the other hip-hop artists like Kendrick Lamar. Dr. Dre, who has not released an album since 1999, is reportedly doing his part for the movie's soundtrack, which everyone sees as the mark of his return in the music industry.

'Straight Outta Compton' will be hitting theaters on August 14, 2015.
