Cordae calls Eminem one of his biggest influences, talks how “Parables” remix came together

Cordae has recently released a new album From A Bird’s Eye View which included a song “Parables” (Remix), featuring Eminem.

To promote his new project, Cordae visited Nessa’s show where he talked about the album and having multiple conversations with Eminem:

“Eminem did an interview [with Kxng Crooked] and he was really like ‘I really rock with Cordae, he is one of my favorite new artists.’ To summarize what he said. He basically gave me a lot of love and the fact that he knows who I am and likes my music that I put out, that was already enough for me. He reached out to put me on “Killer Remix” [with Jack Harlow] and I was like ‘yo I am gonna send you something as well.’ We had a phone conversation. We talked for like an hour and a half. It was a really dope conversation. We were just talking about Hip-Hop and everything. It was a great conversation and he was like ‘yo we got to work too you know, If you need something… We did not talk about music until like the very end and he was like yo whatever you need from me I got you, we definitely gotta get in some work so It was very dope.”

“Eminem is like the biggest, in terms of pure sales and success, like he is the biggest rap artist of all time. Straight up. And other than sales and success commercially and all these other things he is like one of my early influences in music. Those first two albums man [The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP], like every artist that raps with some sort of dexterity or lyricism, takes notes from those first two albums, I guarantee. So it’s definitely blessing have him on there for sure.” said Cordae.

“Matter of fact, I just text him, I sent him a voicemail like I appreciate you, bro.” – He added

Dave Mays says judge didn’t let him put out 1 hour long racist Eminem tape

The Source magazine founder Dave Mays has recently set down with DJ VLAD, where he talked about Eminem’s racist tapes and crediting magazine for launching Eminem’s career.

“With Eminem situation, it started because Benzino felt…When the movie 8 Mile came out…Let me back up and say this… The Source discovered Eminem! The Source had Eminem on Unsigned Hype! Eminem is the first ever white person on the cover of The Source. Eminem wins lyricist of the year at The Source Awards in ’99 over some heavy competition. We helped launch Eminem’s career. We supported Eminem for those first few years.”

“But by 2002, this is when 8 Mile was coming out and this is when the media goes like ‘Eminem is the king of hip-hop,’ ‘he is the greatest to ever do it.’ They were just going crazy the way they were portraying him. That rubbed Benzino in a wrong way and it had him thinking like ‘this can be bad for hip-hop.’ Just like Elvis was used to change trajectory of Rock N’ Roll music and cut out black folks. He felt that way and he made a diss song on a mixtape. A little eight line diss. In a matter of weeks, after the mixtape got put out we started getting phone-calls like ‘Eminem’s already in the studio he made like three records dissing The Source and dissing Dave and Benzino and they were going crazy and whatever…”

“What I will say is…It became personal. It was not meant to be personal. The issue was not about Eminem per se at that time because when it starts those racist tapes don’t exists. Nobody knows about those tapes. WE don’t know about those tapes. Those only surfaced a year down the line after the back and forth. Eminem comes out with songs dissing The Source. Benzino makes songs and videos dissing Eminem and going back and forth.”

“A year down the line these three white kids from Detroit showed up in my lobby. They were sitting there couple of hours trying to get to see me. And finally I get the message and I bring them in and they play me some of this music, the racist rap hour. Eminem and his group at that time, three other white guys made this whole tape with a lot of racist stuff on it and of course that was shocking to hear and as a magazine we had an obligation to report that and put it out there. There was some negotiations behind the scenes with Interscope trying to shut it down and trying to get us not to put them out and bury them so nobody would know about it and we published and they sued us in a federal court and we won a landmark copyright ruling where the judge allowed us to put out only a very small portion of the tape under what’s called fair use law. A lot of stuff that was on a tape never got out.”

“I don’t think you could attribute the decline in newsstand sales strictly to the situation with Eminem. This is dot-com era is thriving, magazine sales are declining. There are other factors. So the point I’m saying is, that’s not the thing that caused the downfall financially of The Source. There were more significant factors. So If I had to change anything, it would probably be taking out that 12 million dollars loan and gambling on dot-com. That’s what I f**ked up. If I hadn’t done that I think things would have been different.”

“Even coming through the Eminem situation. We were coming out of that. Source Awards was still happening. We were still getting tons of advertising. People still loved The Source. I think lots of these narratives come from people in music and media industry. I don’t believe a lot of these narratives come from fans. Interscope and Universal Music controlled almost 80% of all the hip-hop being sold at that time. Everybody was on their payroll. Lots of them respected The Source’s position but were too scared to speak out and support us because it would have impacted their livelihood and that’s understandable.” said Dave.

Eminem’s “Till I Collapse” is featured in Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s ZOA Energy commercial

Dwayne Johnson, better know “The Rock” to the world, has just posted a video of himself working out in a gym while bumping Eminem’s timeless hit song “Till I Collapse,” featuring Nate Dogg, from The Eminem Show (2002) album.

Based on the caption, this is a video shoot of the commercial of an energy drink called ZOA that is hitting markets in March, 2022.

The Rock even quoted the lyrics of the chorus of the song. The caption reads: “‘Til the roof comes off, ’til the lights go out. ‘Til my legs give out, I’ma rip this s**t ’til my bones collapse… Was intense, but we had fun shooting our bad a*s Zoa Energy commercial that will air next month. I shot this “walk of hell” multiple times with 120LBS of chains wrapped around my neck, so my legs were f**ked up and on fire at this point but the energy and mana in the gym carried us thru. Can’t wait for you #ZoaWarriors to see our spot! What DRIVES US, is what FUELS YOU.”

We are not 100% sure if “Till I Collapse” is a part of the commercial or The Rock just played it for the work out but the video is still epic! Check it out below!

He’s just not good to me. bla bla bla Slim Shady, bla bla bla. No, it’s not good. It’s not! Without Dr. Dre… I don’t know.” – said Wisdom Martin

Lisa Ann details working with Eminem on “We Made You”

Last year, in an interview with Tom Cridland’s Greatest Music of All Time Podcast, the adult film star Lisa Ann talked about the working experience with Eminem on his Relapse single “We Made You,” which was released in 2009.

Interviewer: “What was it like shooting ‘We Made You’ video with Eminem? That’s so cool.

Lisa Ann: “It was so cool. I mean, because I’m an Eminem fan. So you don’t wanna be fanned out. Your are not allowed to have a phone or anything with you because of the privacy. They didn’t want somebody to release the song.

Lisa Ann: “Very first interaction that was the scene as Bret Michaels from ‘Rock of Love.’ I was just in lingerie in his bed. So the first time we really kind of meet we are climbing in to bed together. He leans over me and says ‘hey’ and I’m also like ‘hey.’ We had a great time on the shoot. He was ton of funny.”

Lisa Ann: “Also he’s very creative. I was impressed to see.. they had everything set up in this huge Universal studio, where we shot the video. After something we shot, he was going over digital animation. There are 20 people on the screen watching and he knew exactly what he wanted. And it was neat for me to see him be in front of the camera and being Eminem. And then getting out of bed going ‘well this is exactly what I had in mind, this is the vision I had.’ I was like ‘wow he’s so artistically talented’.

Lisa Ann: He’s not lazy. He knows his ideas work and he’s not afraid to say to somebody ‘this is the idea I had’. Like there was a girl playing Kim Kardashian gets put into shredder, the wood chipper and money flies out. That was him saying ‘of course wood chips would not but money is gonna fly out of Kardashian.’ All of this in his head. And that is true gift.”

The Source founder Dave Mays releasing “Unsigned Hype” docuseries, featuring Eminem, Biggie, DMX & more

Dave Mayes, the founder of The Source magazine, has recently set down with DJVLAD where he talked about his plans of releasing “Unsigned Hype” documentary series, featuring stories about Eminem, Notorious B.I.G., DMX, Common, Mobb Deep and more.

“We are actually doing the first documentary series right now on Unsigned Hype and how it originated and all the impact it had. It’s eight part documentary podcast series that I’m doing for my new network Break Beat. We are already in the middle of production. It’s gonna come out probably on top of the year. We are gonna tell whole backstory of that column, where it came from, you mentioned few: Biggie, DMX, Eminem, Common, Mobb Deep, Capone NORE, David Banner, Juelz Santana, Jay Electronica…All these artists got the start in The Source’s Unsigned Hype and many of them we got their record deals.” said Dave Mayes.

Eminem first appeared on The Source in March of 1998. Riggs Morales, who was a writer at The Source and is now vice president of A&R at Atlantic Records, penned an article about a dope new rapper from Detroit.

There was The Record Report section in The Source magazine in which the magazine’s staff rated Hip-Hop albums, using a range from one to five mics. Both The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show got a four mic rating, but Em felt his albums deserved five mics. And the rest…I’m sure you all know the history.

Seven The General says only Eminem can stand against JAY-Z on Verzuz

Last month, JAY-Z jumped onto Alicia Keys’ Twitter Spaces room to chat about the music industry.

During the podcast, Jigga gave his thoughts on a potential Verzuz match-up by telling the audience that he believes nobody can stand alongside him on that platform’s stage.

After those words, hip-hop fans have been theorizing on who would be best to face-off against Hova. Mentioned list of artists included Kanye West and Lil Wayne but mostly, Eminem’s name surfaced on social media users’ feeds.

Detroit rapper Seven The General has recently hit Instagram to share his thoughts on the topic:

“This is unpopular opinion cause you know JAY-Z is the greatest rapper ever, to me, personally. But there is one person, that can stand on the stage and battle Hov and it ain’t who you all think. IT’S EMINEM. IT’S EM THE F**KING NEM BRO!”

Fat Joe details how he passed on signing Eminem 6 times

Fat Joe has recently set down with Big Boy where he talked about his biggest regret in music industry: NOT SIGNING EMINEM. Read the interview and watch it after the jump below:

“At that time, I was just immature, I was crazy. So what happened was I was just at these places and people were giving me their demos and [I could not listen to all of them]. If you go in my DMs now, there are like thousand fat Spanish guys who rap like ‘Yo Joe, Papi, what’s up?’ I don’t get none of that. I let my wife look at my DMs and she sees all that fat Spanish guys talking about being next Big Pun and Fat Joe.”

“So when I go to Revolt, some of them were giving me their demos. I was at these places and I was trying get myself in the game and Eminem apparently was giving me his demos. So years later, me, him and B-Real of Cypress Hills were at the dinner and Em was like ‘Joe, I’mma tell you something. I gave you my demo like six times’ and I was like ‘NOOOOO?! CHESUS CHRIST.”

“I remembered Eminem from performing with this group called Outsidaz. There were very dope. There was Lyricist Longue in New York, this is when I met Biggie too. Biggie was battling twenty guys, beating everybody, white, black, Chinese, he was killing everybody on stage. So now, Eminem, skinny white boy…Me and Pun headlined Lyricist Longue and he performed with Outsidaz. They were all black kids with dreadlocks, and skinny white boy, he was so skinny and going so crazy, they were holding him by his pants cause he was gonna fall off the stage. We all knew he was crazy. We knew this white boy…It was too late. It was not demo time. He was on. He was just about to go with Dr. Dre and all that. Me and Big Pun were like this white boy is CR-AZY.”

“And I always tell a story, when his first album came out it was Grammy week. Me and Big Pun stood the night before the album came out in the long line of Tower Records to get Eminem’s album. The first album. We bumped that all night and went to the Grammys next day. And we had no idea this was the same guy I passed on signing six times. I learned it that night when we had dinner.”

“We make great music. Of course I don’t think it would be the same Eminem if he signed him. That was legendary Dr. Dre who gave him that whole different things. Dre’s beats was crazy but he would have been hot with us too. We made Big Pun. We made Remy Ma. We made DJ Khalid. We could have made him a big star. It probably would have been a different kind of star. Fat Joe liked flash, show off and this kind of stuff and Eminem was not doing that, he was on some other s**t.”
