Jay Z’s “Top 5 Emcees” interviews resurface after HHT tried to discredit Eminem

Few days ago, JAY-Z hopped onto Alicia Keys’ Twitter Spaces room to chat about the music industry on Tuesday night, giving his thoughts on a potential Verzuz match-up by telling the hundreds in the audience that he believes nobody can stand alongside him on that platform.

Since he made the comments, hip-hop fans on Twitter thought Eminem could be a good challenger for Jigga, but many of them started to discredit the Detroit legend.

As a result, Hova’s old interviews where he’s naming Eminem as a Top 5 Emcees of all time has resurfaced online.

Back in 2009, in an interview with Big Boy, JAY-Z was asked to list his own Top 5 Emcees: “I got the usual suspects – Biggie, Pac, Scarface, Eminem and Andre 3000. Off top of my head, that’s would be my top 5.”

In his 2012 interview, Jigga responded the same question with: “I would choose Biggie, because of his ability to tell the stories to be humorous, to be dead serious, he just had it all. I would choose Tupac because what he does not have and technical skills will be overcame by passion. Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, KRS-1 we gotta put him as well. I need more Emcees, you gotta have Eminem and Nas but those five and then we will switch them up.”

In 2018, Hova also praised Eminem’s cadence. Listen to all of them interviews below:

 

Riggs Morales says J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar & Kid Cudi were considered to sign to Eminem’s Shady Records

Last year on A Waste of Time podcast with ItsTheReal, former Shady Records and current Atlantic Records VP of A&R and Artist Development Riggs Morales discussed choosing David Banner, Juelz Santana and most famously, Eminem, for the Unsigned Hype column. Riggs also reminisced on his time as an A&R for Shady Records during their dominant years, putting together the 8 Mile soundtrack with Slim Shady and seeing what a genius mind 50 Cent is from the moment he signed.

During the podcast, Morales revealed that Pitbull, Dead Prez, J. Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Kid Cudi and Juelz Santana were all considered to be signed to Eminem’s Shady Records label.

“Oh man…There are ones that we had an opportunity to and there are ones to go after like, I wanted so bad. Pitbull, he came by, he played me his demo and I told him this is cool…Over the years, I tried my best to sign Dead Prez, I have gotten into the preview of what their next album would sound like and three of the cuts were produced by Kanye. When I say I wanted to cause I was engaged.”

“Towards later years before I left Shady, J. Cole came across the desk, Kendrick Lamar but that’s more of a Paul story and I believe Paul was the one who suggested Kendrick to Dr. Dre when Dre was looking for someone to write for his Detox album. I tried very hard to get Clipse and I did want them to split them up. Who else? Kid Cudi. He played me Day N Night and it was f**king awesome and we tried something to work but as soon as Kanye put his hands around…And I get it. I really thought he would be one that we could have been involved because when I was at Shady I was looking the ways as an AR how we gonna be involved with changing the time. We were smacked into that Kanye era.”

Eminem Vs Jay-Z is now trending after Jay said ‘no one can stand against me on Verzuz’

Whenever Jay-Z speaks, hip-hop fans listen, and he set the record straight yesterday that no one can face him on a stage in a Verzuz battle.

Jigga said it while talking with Rob Markman and Alicia Keys on Twitter Spaces.

“No one can stand on that stage with me. It is not a chance in hell that anyone can stand on that stage with me. You got to stand in front of the ‘Grammy Family Freestyle’ live? No one has ever even seen me perform that, you got to stand in front of that? That ain’t never going to happen.” said Hova.

Later, hip-hop fans on Twitter flooded the feed with Eminem Vs Jay-Z tweets and the hip-hop world is divided by two.

Fredro Starr talks Eminem using his beat in “8 Mile” movie

Fredro Starr has recently set down with VLAD TV where the New York-born producer and actor recalls attending “8 Mile” premiere without tickets and finding out Eminem used his beat in the movie while being in font of the seats

“So, I went to 8 Mile premiere. We didn’t have no tickets but we were cool with Dre. We were there just to pop up. 8 Mile premiere was big red carpet, it was like, LOCK DOWN. We were waiting outside like ‘yo, how we gonna get in this s**t’ and then Dr. Dre pulls up and says ‘yo, come with me.'”

“So now we are at 8 Mile premiere with no tickets, we got in with Dre and we sitting in front of the seats just chillin. And I didn’t even know my beat was in the movie. Nobody told me. So, we are watching the movie and it was dope and then Eminem is battling that ni**a Papa Doc and the beat comes on. I was like ‘OH S**T, THIS BEAT IS IN THE MOVIE?!’ Just to see Eminem rhyming on that beat was inspirational. Royalties still popin’. Shout out to Eminem on that one! S**t like that makes me wanna do beats again.” – says Fredro.

BandGang Lonnie Bands recrates Eminem’s classic music videos in a new video “Where Is Marshall”

Detroit rapper who goes by the name of BandGang Lonnie Bands released his latest music video for the song titled “Where Is Marshall,” putting his own spin on Eminem’s “The Real Slim Shady” video off Lonnie’s recent album called “Hard 2 Kill.” The song is produced by L.A. sound architect Cypress Moreno.

In the video, the young Detroit rapper casts Eminem lookalikes and clones himself as Shady did back in the days.

Using his own nonchalant, sing-song flow, Lonnie recounts growing up not far from Eminem’s home and brags about “breaking bad like I’m Heisenberg” and having “dope so good the fiends stalk you.”

Directed by Anfy, the video deposits Lonnie in a trailer park not dissimilar to where Marshall Mathers grew up, as the 6 Mile rapper stars in moments that evoke Em’s best videos, including “The Real Slim Shady,” “My Name Is,” “Forgot About Dre,” and “Lose Yourself.”

With the recent controversy about Eminem not connecting to young Detroit rappers, maybe this song could even bring Eminem and this new generation of Detroit together if “Detroit VS Everybody” with Big Sean, Danny Brown, Dej Loaf and “Friday Night Cypher” with Kash Doll, Payroll Giovanni, Sada Baby, Drego, Boldy James, 42 Dugg, Cash Kidd and Tee Grizzley was not enough.

Big Sean: Alright.

NORE: Eminem?

Big Sean: God emcee.

NORE: Big Proof?

Big Sean: Legendary. Legendary. I feel like he inspired Em a lot. He was really the one who brought D12 together. He was a backbone of that. He was cold lyrically.

NORE: Royce Da 5’9″

Big Sean: Rap god, just like Eminem.

Later in the interview, NORE tells Big Sean to do a Quick Time of Slime and asks some comparison questions. If he picks both or none, he drinks, if he picks one of them, then other people in the room drink. Of course, one of the questions was, Eminem or Royce 5’9.” On which Big Sean responded with:

“Royce Da 5’9″ is literal big brother so I gotta go with Royce. Eminem is, like I said, god emcee and it was dream come true to work with him but I’ve been in real trenches with Royce.”

Pete Davidson spoofs Eminem’s “My Name Is” on his latest SNL Christmas episode

It’s 2054, and Pete Davidson has to prove that he’s still got it.

It was a very strange night for Saturday Night Live. The big Christmas episode was set to induct Paul Rudd into the Five Timers Club but a reported COVID-19 outbreak among the cast forced the show to piece together an episode with only two of the current cast, Kenan Thompson and Michael Che.

Shot in black and white, “An Evening With Pete” imagines a sad, washed-up Pete Davidson 33 years in the future. Like a lounge singer working a dingy club decades past his prime, old Pete does a faux Weekend Update with a robot Colin Jost. A bored patron heckles him to “Do Chad!” his most well-known recurring character.

Pete does a Warren Beatty-themed parody of Eminem’s 1999 hit song “My Name Is,” from The Slim Shady LP album while cast member Chloe Fineman asks what exactly type of audience is this for.

Later in the sketch, Pete says he’d like to do a song with his friend, Machine Gun Kelly and brings out chalice with MGK’s dust in it and 1990-2054 written on it.
