Alex Ovechkin and Marshall Mathers are getting together. I can't tell you how many times I've thought, "You know what this world needs? An Alex Ovechkin-Eminem hip hop track." Well, it's finally happening, according to Pravda (!). Alexander Ovechkin, a Russian professional ice hockey left winger and captain of the Washington Capitals, is going to record a song with internationally known rapper Eminem. NHL's top paid player is a big fan of hip hop, and he is very happy that now he will have a chance to become a part of it with a legendary artist.

"It would be such an honor for me, because I am a big fan of Eminem. I always have his CDs in my car, and I would be very glad to meet him. By the way, Eminem's 8 Mile film is just great," Alexander told Life Sports. I don't know much about hockey but I've seen enough professional athletes try to crossover into the performance arts to know that this will probably end badly. Then again, Ovechkin isn't just some fly-by-night music wannabe. Pravda points out that he "...already has experience in recording music. A couple of months ago he recorded a song with Russian rapper Zhigan. The forward said that he dedicated the song to his girlfriend Valeria Sokolova."

Well then. Nothing to worry about.

One of my favorite athletes and one of my favorite musicians.

This would be incredible..for me... but he speaks English poorly don't know how this would work

This info came from the most laughed at newspaper in all of Russia. Doubt it is true.

I had to move this to the real em section

And I'm confused by this, and not sure what this could be or how it could be done. not sure what to think, or why em would do this, only cause I feel this dude has never rapped

[Weather Man]

If he could rap then it's all good.

[M15HKA]

Not to ruin everyone's fun, but all signs I have point to the Ovechkin/Eminem story being false.

That's not necessarily an issue.
When I speak English, it's not that good, but it's another thing when I rap. I don't know why it's like that, but I've heard from many rappers/singers that they're the same when it comes to this.

The Pravda Newspaper out of Russia must have their facts wrong. The paper reported that Alex Ovechkin will be recording a hip hop track with international sensation Eminem.

"It would be such an honor for me, because I am a big fan of Eminem. I always have his CDs in my car, and I would be very glad to meet him. By the way, Eminem's 8 Mile film is just great," Alexander told Life Sports, according to the article.

Nate Ewell, the Capitals VP of Communication confirmed the reports are just not right.

"Not to ruin everyone's fun, but all signs I have point to the Ovechkin/Eminem story being false."

Apparently this isn't Ovechkin's first experience in the music world, he recorded a song with Russian rapper Zhigan a few months ago.
