Denaun Porter laughs at rumored features of Eminem’s upcoming album

Denaun Porter, who is probably the closet man to Eminem in Shady camp, had a little bit of laugh when he saw the rumored features of Eminem’s upcoming album, which has recently been spreading on reddit.

One of the Eminem fans accounts on Instagram, posted a picture of supposed features on Slim Shady’s upcoming album, which includes: The Weeknd, Andre 3000, Kendrick Lamar, SZA, Post Malone, Elton John and Nas.

Under the comments’ section, Mr. Porter replied: “Please tell me where y’all come up with these theories and how they are rumors please? I’m really interested in the process?”

Another fan account said: “So to answer your questions, the main source of rumors is a guy ob reddit that somehow in the past seemed to be able to predict something but that’s also been wrong sometimes. This one is On Thin Ice instead, an account specialized in rumors that also in the past sometimes was right and other wrong. When they are wrong they say it’s all been scrapped or delayed. Imo what fans can legit do is only trying to keep eyes and ears well open and to connect the dots… just for fun.”

On which Denaun replied: “yea who would you believe more? Some guy on Reddit or me?”

Here is how much Eminem earned from Spotify in 2021 alone

Eminem’s catalog was streamed 3,600,000,000 (3.6 billion) times on Spotify in 2021 alone.

Spotify generally pays between $.00318 and $.00521 per stream to the artists, meaning you will need roughly 250 streams to make a dollar. Rates depend from which country people are streaming (and many other factors).

If we multiply 3,600,000,000 streams by $.00318, and 3,600,000,000 streams by $.00521, Eminem earned between $11,448,000 ($11.4 million) ‬and $18,756,000 ($18.8 million). Thus, average earning for Slim Shady is $15,102,000 ($15.1 million).

All these numbers are coming from Spotify alone. Now imagine the total numbers from YouTube Music, Apple Music, Amazon Music and TIDAL.

Fanmade music video of Eminem’s “Little Engine” gets shout out from Mr. Porter & Fredwreck

Film director named Stephane Davi, has recently created the music video of Eminem’s Dre-produced track “Little Engine” from his 2020 album, Music To Be Murdered By and it’s going viral.

Denaun Porter shared the clip on his Instagram with the caption: “My Guy Stephane Davi killed this.” and tagged Eminem.

In the comments, Aftermath producer Fredwreck, who has recently produced Eminem’s “Framed,” replied: “Hard!!!”

Detroit rapper Lazarus also was impressed with the work Davi and his team did as he commented: “The legend who created my “L” logo!”

Detroit’s own Page Kennedy went directly on Davi’s page to reply the post with “Smoked this” comment.

Eminem probably has already seen the video and there is a chance it will become as an official music video, or lyric video at least.

You can check Mr. Porter’s post and the video after the jump below:

Westside Boogie talks how Rihanna changed his life forever, relationship with Eminem, new album & more

Shady Records’ Westside Boogie has recently set down on Nothing Beats Experience podcast with Smoothvega where the Compton rapper talked about Rihanna, Eminem, signing to LVRN and Shady Records, his upcoming album, mental health and more.

About Rihanna

I was on tour with Denzel Curry when Rihanna sang my ‘Ni**a Needs’ video. I had been signed to Interscope for couple of years and I still only had like 10k followers. So, when Rihanna posted me, I thought it was fake, I thought it was fake page. She posted me and my followers went up from 10K to 150k in like 30 minutes. That’s a power of Rihanna. So Rihanna singlehandedly changed my career forever. I’m forever grateful for her.

Hard times at Interscope

So, I was still on a shelve of Interscope after two years. That was tough for me. Going through ups and downs. All my friends thinking I’m super rich but I was still barely being able to take care of my kid at that time, even though I was signed to one of the biggest labels in the world.

Signing to LVRN and Shady Records

One day, my AR from Interscope told me ‘We have to figure out something. It’s that management group called LVRN and I really feel you are good match’ and at the same time, I randomly got a call from Eminem. I don’t know how the universe did that to me or why it did for me but I think its my constant belief in myself and not giving up. Got a call from Eminem. He said he wanted to meet me. Flew me out to Detroit. And next thing you know, I was signed to Eminem.

His musical influences

I’m such a singing, RnB headass ni**a. I was listening nothing but gospel music at the beginning. Then there was slowly transition to Lauryn Hill. There was a gospel movie “Sister Act 2.” Once I saw it, I thought oh I love this girl. I love Lauryn Hill. And then somehow JAY-Z was introduced into my life. I don’t know how it happened. I think that was the first artist I searched down on my own and I fell in love with Jay. And then I fell in love with Wayne. They are two artists that I ever idolized.

About Eminem

We went to the studio in Detroit. It’s always the same thing with Tracy: “Marshall’s ready for you now,” “Marshall’s ready to see you.” He’s like freaking president. And that’s the part that makes me nervous when she come by like that. Tracy, I love her but she scares me too. Eminem is dope. Before I met him, I was like ‘that’s one of the biggest rapper ever, he is not gonna act like human but then when I met him, he was like just another person trying to figure life out and that’s dope to me. He even knew my songs that was not popular. He knew those songs. He was telling me details about those songs and certain rhyme schemes I did. He was praising my bars it was best thing ever. I was like, oh, I love him. He really cares about the craft. He is so competitive, he’s not going to make you feel support, he going to kill everybody. [laughs] That’s what amazing about him.

His upcoming album

Best thing with working with Shady is that they just let me do my thing. Eminem just waits for me to bring him my new music to him. He does not put too much pressure on me. An album is done but I still have to go to the final Eminem-stage. I played the album to him couple of months ago. My problem is I always hate my songs from couple of months ago. I’m always critiquing myself. I probably have 5 to 10 album material because of that. I have a title of the album but I can’t say it.

Then Boogie continues talking about mental health. You can watch the full interview below:

J. Cole shows love to Eminem & Royce 5’9″ in the new interview with Nardwuar

Finally, Nardwuar landed his J. Cole interview. The interview with Dreamville head honcho has been at least a couple years in the making.

In almost 1 hour long interview, J. Cole briefly talked about getting inspired by Canibus, Eminem, Royce 5’9″ and Big L.

“Canibus was huge inspiration on my teenage years of rapping. Just ferocious, barred up, lyrical, punch lines, any cypher, any gathering of three or more people that wanted to rap, destroying it. That was my whole mo, my forte and Canibus was big part of that. Eminem was big part of that. Royce 5’9″ as big part of that, Big L was big part of that.” – said Cole.

At one point during the interview (After 43 minutes), J. Cole confirmed that he told Dr. Dre about Kendrick Lamar: “Who told you that? Who gave you that piece of information? The answer is yes, I did. I’m not gonna say I was the first to tell him but when Dre was working on Detox album, yes, I was like ‘you gotta sign this kid from Compton. Shout out to Dr. Dre, he made right decision.”
