Dr. Umar goes off on rappers who defended Eminem against him

Last year, during the conversation on Joe Budden Podcast, Dr. Umar Jonson said that Eminem can never be the greatest rappers of all time because he’s white. Black hip-hop artists and celebrities, including The Game, MC Shan, Royce Da 5’9″, Mr. Porter, Swifty McVay, Kuniva, Ed Lover, Math Hoffa, Kxng Crooked, Cassidy, Tony Yayo, Orlando Brown, John Salley and Donnell Rawlings came out in defense of Eminem and in a recent interview on The Art of Dialogue, Dr. Umar responded to all of them.

“I was on a podcast interview. The topic came up. I think it was Joe Budden who suggested that Eminem maybe one of the greatest and I said he could never be considered THE GOAT. If you wanna say he’s one of the greatest, make that argument, but you will not call him THE GOAT of a black cultural icon. You are not doing that! Our culture is our culture. We don’t share it. If you want to give people privilege to participate then they have participation privilege but you can not be the face of something my people made. This is not only true for me, this is true for most groups. But because black people suffer from post-traumatic slavery disease and we crave white validation more than oxygen, we are always looking to annoy some non-African as the face of something African people created.” said Dr. Umar.

Then he continued: “So, when I said, Eminem can not be GOAT, I never said he couldn’t rap. I never said he didn’t have talent. I simply said he can’t be the GOAT. No more than DJ Khaled could ever be considered as a DJ or producer cause you are not African. So, a lot of hip-hop artists took offence, they came out of the woodworks with their unlicensed law degrees and served as Eminem’s expert lawyer and publicist to the black world and they defended better than Johnny Cochran defended OJ Simpson and basically told me I have no right to speak on the topic because I’m not a rapper. I don’t have to be a drug dealer to speak about drug dealing. I don’t have to be a surgeon to speak on the racism that black suffer in the medical industry and I don’t have to be a rapper to speak on rap music but as an African who grew up in hip-hop, as an African who partakes in hip-hop, as an African who is a safe-guard of all African culture, I will speak on anything my people create and anything my people are affected by and I’m just disappointed brother. Because just like we talked about snow bunny Barkley and snow bunny Shannon and LeBron James earlier defending Caitlin Clark, we saw the same thing happen with this so called gangster rappers who took Eminem’s against your good brother Dr. Umar, and you know what bothered me the most? About all of these rappers defending Eminem without him even asking them to, without him even paying for them to do it, what offended me the most about it, I never seen any of them defend black women the same way. Not one of these rappers who defended Eminem against me, I never seen a single one of them defend black women as ferociously as they defended Eminem. What did I say earlier? Politically effeminate. Our gangsta rappers are politically effeminate. Our basketball layers, NFL players are politically effeminate. Whenever it comes to holding white people responsible for appropriating black culture, here comes the gangsta rappers to defend their white Jesus. It’s absolutely insane. Black celebrities never defend us. They never defend black America but whenever white folks are offended by black people, they are the first people to pop up.”

“I’ll take it to the culture-vulture DJ VLAD. After that interview I did with Joe budden, Vlad brought all these rappers and celebrities on his platform and he asked everybody ‘do you agree with Dr. Umar who said Eminem could never be the GOAT og hip-hop and and I think 99%, if not 100% of these celebrity black men defended Eminem and reinforced the integrationist colorblind narrative and anybody can be a GOAT of hip-hop…When I said Eminem can’t be the GOAT, hip-hop’s most popular rappers came out and tried to chastise Dr. Umar in defense of Eminem but when Beyoncé came out with the Cowboy Carter album, those country musicians and their fanbase attacked her vehemently. They tried to destroy that sister’s credibility in the country music world even though the roots of country music go to the slave plantations of America.” Dr. Umar added.

Eminem recalls the time when “The Eminem Show” was leaked in a new doc “How Music Got Free”

Back in the 90s, when Stephen Witt was attending the University of Chicago, he stumbled on to something many kids did at the time. “One day, I turned on the computer, went into a chat channel and discovered all this music out there ready to be downloaded,” he said. “I never once asked myself: ‘Is this a good thing or a bad thing for me to do?’ It was free music!”

Today, everyone knows just how bad a thing that turned out to be for the music industry, nearly destroying it by the early 2000s. What most people don’t know, however, is the story behind the people who created the technology that made this revolution possible, as well as the group of kids who first figured out how to use its tools so enticingly. That’s the tale told by a thought-provoking and highly entertaining new docuseries titled How Music Got Free.

“When we think of this era, we only think about Napster and Shawn Fanning, who’s celebrated as the punk-rock anti-hero of the whole movement,” said Alex Stapleton, who directed the two-part series. “But Fanning wasn’t inventing anything. The real innovative minds here were a bunch of rogue teenagers and a guy working a blue-collar factory job in the tiny town of Shelby, North Carolina.”

The journalist who tracked the latter guy down is none other than Witt, who, after graduating college, became an investigative journalist responsible for a 2015 book on which the documentary is based. Eager to both discover the roots of the story and to grapple with the consequences of it, Witt began by exploring a publicly available database that chronicled many of those who’d been busted by the FBI for music piracy. He investigated more than 100, but one of them, who hadn’t been publicized at all, turned out to be the most impactful by far. He was Dell Glover, an unassuming young man who lived in an obscure town in the US south. “When I read the complaint against him, I thought: ‘my God, this one guy did more damage than all the other pirates I talked to combined,’” Witt said.

While the documentary details the nearly ruinous impact that it had on the industry, it also celebrates Glover’s technological brilliance and vision, despite him having no formal training in computers. Glover was hardly alone in his innovations. The film profiles a half dozen or so pirates, most of whom were teenagers at the time, whose schemes presaged strategies later perfected by global corporations like Spotify and Netflix. “Those kids wound up creating the world we now live in,” Stapleton said.

In the first episode of the documentary, Eminem tells the story of how one of the biggest anticipated albums of all time, The Eminem Show, was leaked: “All that work, like days, months, hours that I spent writing it, recording it, tweaking it, all that s–t and now these songs leak and I’m like ‘ F–K!’ It was like, music should be free and then it’s like, okay, well, here is what you don’t understand if music should be free. I have engineer to pay. I have these entire army of people that work at Interscope that need their paycheck.” said Eminem.

Then he continues: “What do I do? Do I try to make songs like those that leaked? But then people go ‘we already heard that from you.’ That was my first album that suffered so it was devastating to me. Ah, I just did all that for nothing.”

In the second episode, Eminem and Paul Rosenberg talked about how they were trying to prevent his music to leak in future: “A majority of the world has heard your music. But your record sales, they don’t reflect that. Kids, they want the music but they don’t want you to tell them how to listen to it, where and when. We had to send music and I was not going to send it over the internet. So I was mailing s–t tp Paul so he could hear it. And I put it in the big box and it’d be wrapped ten different times and there’d be one CD. Or put it in tampon box, send it to Paul. Who’s going to look in the tampon box? Post traumatic leak disorder is what I had.”

Snoop Dogg reacts to Eminem’s new single “Houdini”

DJ Whoo Kid has recently sat down with Snoop Dogg where the two talked about Eminem’s latest chart-topping single “Houdini,” from his upcoming 12th solo studio album “The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace),” due out July 5, 2024.

When Whoo Kid asked Snoop about “Houdini,” the legendary started singing the hook of the original song “Abracadabra” by Steve Miller Band after explaining who the real Houdini was: “Houdini, you know, what do Houdini do? The ni–a disappear and come back. Ain’t that what Em do? He’s a magician. Ni–a you ain’t even know that. Who do you think Houdini was? Ni–a that made airplanes? Abracadabra, Abra-abra-cadabra, I wanna reach out and grab ya.”

Then Snoop went to shout out Eminem: “That s–t bang. Shout out to Slim Shady. Welcome back, back to the block dawg. Bring some more real hip-hop back. You know what I’m talking about? Detroit! Aye, Mom’s Spaghetti got some bomb a-s food too cuz. Send me some. That garlic bread.”

Last week, Eminem returns with “Houdini,” a hard-hitting new single accompanied by a fitting video that features cameos from Snoop Dogg himself, as well as Dr. Dre, Pete Davidson 50 Cent, Jimmy Iovine, Grip, Westside Boogie, Denaun Porter, Royce 5’ 9”, Paul Rosenberg, The Alchemist, EZ Mil, Ryan Keely, Samantha Mack, and comedian Shane Gillis…Check out Snoop’s interview below:

Eminem shares hilarious behind the scenes video of “Houdini”

Eminem shows fans that he does his own stunts in a behind-the-scenes video of his “Houdini” music video from his upcoming 12th solo studio album The Death Of Slim Shady.  On Monday (June 10, 2024), Eminem gave fans an exclusive look at the making of his “Houdini” music video. More specifically, they can see Marshall Mathers jump and climb around as his superhero alter ego Rapboy.

“Don’t try this at home,” Em tells the camera. “I do my own stunts.” In a quick montage, the Detroit MC is seen scaling a building, engaging in some slow-motion fight choreography and slapping his face on the ground. The video then closes out with Em, donning his signature Slim Shady blond hair and white T-shirt, yelling about how his shoe came off. The funny clip comes after “Houdini” debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 on Monday, marking Eminem’s highest-charting song in 11 years.

Em clowning himself in his behind-the-scenes look makes sense considering he made fun of himself extensively in the final cut of “Houdini.” The original music video dropped alongside the single on May 31, and finds Rapboy defending Detroit from an evil Slim Shady who time-traveled from 1999 to 2004. Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Royce 5’9″, The Alchemist, Boogie and more appear in the visual, which now has over 60 million views on YouTube, making it the biggest debut on YouTube in 2024.

Watch the hilarious video below:

Eminem’s “Houdini” debuts at No. 2 on Billboard Hot 100

IT’S OFFICIAL: Eminem ’s “Houdini” debuts at No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 with 48.8 million streams, 4 million in radio reach and 49,000 sold, making it to sell 370,000 total units in the United States. from its release on May 31 through June 6.

For Eminem, it is 23rd career top 10 and highest-charting hit since “The Monster,” featuring Rihanna, claimed four weeks at No. 1 in December 2013-January 2014. Until Slim Shady’s latest entry, he had last reached the top 10 with “Godzilla” (featuring Juice WRLD), which debuted and peaked at No. 3 in February 2020 from Music To Be Murdered By album.

Post Malone’s “I Had Some Help,” featuring Morgan Wallen, notches a fourth total and consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. The song, Post Malone’s sixth leader and Wallen’s second, is the first to spend at least its first four weeks on the chart at No. 1 since Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” logged its first six weeks on the ranking at the summit in January-March 2023.

“I Had Some Help” is also the first hit to spend four consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100 overall in nearly a year, since Wallen’s “Last Night” linked 10 straight frames on top, of 16 total, in May-July 2023.

“Houdini” is the biggest debut song since “Love The Way You Lie,” and highest charting song since “The Monster,” for Eminem. It’s also his biggest streaming week ever for him.

Yelawolf interpolates Eminem’s “The Way I Am” flow, shouts out Royce 5’9″, Dr. Dre, Slaughterhouse & Eminem

Former Shady Records artist Yelawolf releases “War Story,” a dynamic double album that unfolds in two distinct chapters: “Michael Wayne” and “Trunk Muzik 4ever”.

Side 1: Michael Wayne (song 1 – song 12) In the first installment, Yelawolf reunites with the acclaimed producer Malay, known for their previous collaboration on his 2015 Shady Records album “Love Story”. This album, bearing Yelawolf’s given name, delves into deeply personal narratives and captivating storytelling.

Billboard reveals release date of new Eminem album

Billboard has accidently revealed the release date of Eminem ‘s upcoming 12th solo studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace) while covering Slim Shady’s electrifying performance at Michigan Central Station on June 6, 2024.

“Live From Detroit: The Concert at Michigan Central” brought out the hometown hero likes of Eminem (who co-executive produced the concert with his manager, Paul Rosenberg), and who made the crowd go nuts when he hopped on stage for a surprise four-song mini-set that included the live debut of his new single, “Houdini” and a collaboration with Jelly Roll.

Diana Ross, Jack White, Big Sean, Slum Village and gospel greats the Clark Sisters and Kierra Sheard were also on hand to celebrate the refurbished Michigan Central. The former railroad station in the city’s southwest side had been shuttered since 1988 and became what Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan called “a symbol of our decline” as it fell into disrepair. The Ford Motor Co. purchased the building in 2018, spending a reported $940 million to turn it into a center for advanced technological development in transportation and other fields.

The show itself — which was streamed on Peacock and will be edited into a one-hour NBC special at 7 p.m. ET/PT on Sunday (June 9) — was a nearly two-hour party celebrating the city and its musical heritage, but with a global perspective. “We’ve been invested in trying to rebrand the image of the city and how people see it for a long time,” Rosenberg, who worked in conjunction with Jesse Collins Entertainment, explained to Billboard prior to the show. “The challenge was, ‘What kind of picture can we paint here that’s going to be interesting not just locally but nationally?’ We wanted to make a compelling program that’s going to interest people across the country, not just people who are familiar with Detroit.

Rosenberg added that he and Eminem used the adage “as goes Detroit, so goes the nation” — from a 1942 Arthur Pond essay in The Atlantic — “as a framework… all these ideas about how the city is viewed not just locally but nationally to help frame the program.”

While Billboard covered all these up, they accidently (or mistakenly) revealed the release date of Eminem’s The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace). In one of the paragraphs, we read: “And while Eminem — who filmed parts of the video for his 2009 single “Beautiful” in the then-abandoned Michigan Central — was not billed as a performer when the show was announced, it surprised few that he closed the evening. Joined by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra the hoodied rapper presented the live debut of “Houdini,” the just-released first single from his upcoming The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace) album (July 5), then “Sing For the Moment” with Jelly Roll, “Welcome 2 Detroit” with Trick Trick and a bombastic “Not Afraid,” which was followed by a short show-ending fireworks display. But later, the biggest music industry magazine removed the date from their article, but fans kept the screenshot, which you can check below and read the full article on Billboard here.

Joe Budden refuses to review Eminem’s new song “Houdini”

In the latest episode of Joe Budden Podcast, the crew discussed Eminem’s latest chart-topping single “Houdini,” from his upcoming 12th solo studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). At the start of the clip, Joe Budden refused to comment on the song, saying: “Y’all review Em. I ain’t…I don’t like nothing of it.”

From there, Officially Ice starts: “I don’t like this song. I’m just going to start there. With that to the side, I think I see what he’s trying to do with the album being The Death of Slim Shady and with the way the song is kind of like homage to old records. It almost sounds like spoof of old him. Even the way record starts, everything. Again, I’m not a fan of any of these. The video, he’s got Robin suit on some scenes, he got Dre in there. It’s old Slim Shady. With the album being called the death of Slim Shady I could see this being act one into the album of the killing of Slim Shady. I see he’s gong somewhere with it. So I’m not mad. I ain’t judging this. I just don’t like the song and it’s just going to sit over there.” he said.

Then he continued: “That artwork, that style, he has used for Curtain Call 2, similar, that’s in line with that. The whole Houdini, for my next trick, he’s playing this magician thing, you know, pulling rabbit out of hat. I think all these are tying into a larger picture of the album. So, I’m not really gonna judge anything based off of this. And I think he’s intentionally doing this. He wants people to overreact to this. I think the Meg line in there that everybody going crazy is part of the whole Slim Shady cause that’s what he’s known for. I think, he’s going to give us little bit of the dark Slim Shady, this animated cartoony Slim Shady and then go into kind off of the last album and the one before that. Music To Be Murdered By, Kamikaze, where it was real rap and it was good music on there. People are just tired of Em so they didn’t hear it. I think he’s telling a story with this album and going to end of Slim Shady and then give us Marshall.”

Eminem’s “Houdini” debuts at #1 in Australia

It’s a week of comebacks, as Australian rock band Crowded House maintain their perfect albums chart record and Eminem lands his first chart-topping single in more than a decade on ARIA Singles chart.

Billie Eilish returns to the albums chart penthouse, as her third studio album, Hit Me Hard And Soft, reclaims the #1 spot for the second non-consecutive week. No official singles have been lifted from the album, but two tracks are in the top 10 singles chart: Birds Of A Feather at #6 and Lunch at #7.

Just below Billie, Crowded House’s Gravity Stairs opens at #3. It’s the legendary band’s eighth studio album and becomes their 10th top five album: all eight albums plus two greatest hits collections have reached the top five.

Detroit legend Eminem storms back onto the ARIA Singles Chart, with his new track Houdini arriving at #1. It’s the lead track from his upcoming 12th solo studio album The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace).

Houdini is his first chart-topper since “The Monster” featuring Rihanna, from The Marshall Mathers LP 2 album, spent three weeks at #1 in 2013, his first top 10 showing since “Godzilla” with Juice Wrld got to #3 in 2020 from Music To Be Murdered By album, and his 22nd top 10 hit. The new track samples Eminem’s own “Without Me,” “My Name Is” and “Just Lose It,” and interpolates Steve Miller Band’s Abracadabra, which spent two weeks at #1 in 1982.

“Houdini” is Slim Shady’s ninth #1 single in Canada, following “Stan” in 2000, “Without Me” in 2002, “Lose Yourself” in 2002, “Just Lose It” in 2004, “When I’m Gone” in 2005, “We Made You” in 2009, “Love The Way You Lie” in 2010 and “The Monster” in 2013. Only one male artist has had more #1 singles: Elvis Presley, with 14. (Until this week, Eminem was tied with Justin Bieber at eight a piece.)

Eminem performs at Michigan Central

“Live From Detroit: The Concert at Michigan Central” executive produced by Eminem and Paul Rosenberg was an all-star celebration of Detroit music bringing Diana Ross, Jack White, Big Sean and a host of other top names to the restored Michigan Central train station as the historic site launches its grand reopening for a global audience. The concert was spearheaded by Ford Motor Co., which spent nearly $1 billion to renovate the site and unveiled the artist roster Monday morning after weeks of buildup.

Branded as “Live From Detroit: The Concert at Michigan Central,” the event was streamed live on Peacock, then will be aired Sunday on NBC as a prime-time special. The 90-minute, genre-spanning concert — whose lineup includes hip-hop duo Slum Village, gospel stars Kierra Sheard and the Clark Sisters, techno-house DJ Theo Parrish and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra — marks the biggest convergence of hometown star power on one Detroit stage in decades. The show also featured visiting artists such as Jelly Roll, Fantasia, Common and Melissa Etheridge. Presenters included Detroit Lions stars and veterans such as Barry Sanders, Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown, along with comedian Mike Epps, actress Sophia Bush and one and only Royce 5’9″ who appeared with J Dilla’s mother.

The concert was livestreamed at 8:30 p.m. Thursday on Peacock, the streaming service operated by NBC Universal, and will be repurposed for a one-hour NBC special airing nationally at 7 p.m. Sunday. Six weeks after the NFL Draft downtown, the Michigan Central concert gave Detroit another high-profile starring role amid the city’s ongoing renewal.

“We wanted to celebrate the reopening of Michigan Central Station in style and make it a night to remember for Detroiters and people watching around the world,” Bill Ford, executive chair of Ford, said in a statement Monday. “I am honored and grateful that so many of Detroit’s musical legends, sports heroes, artists and innovators are joining us to celebrate the city we all love and the bright future we are creating together.” The streaming and TV production was led by Jesse Collins Entertainment, a Los Angeles company that has overseen Super Bowl halftime shows, Emmy Awards, BET Honors and other events.

As it turns out, one of the surprise special guests was Eminem himself, joined by Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Denaun Porter, Jelly Roll, performing his latest single “Houdini,” “Sing For The Moment,” “Welcome 2 Detroit” and “Not Afraid.” You can watch the performance below:

Donald Trump Jr. attempts to clown Eminem but fails

Eminem has been mocked by the eldest son of former United States president, Donald Trump Jr., after false news have been spread about Slim Shady making critical comments o his father.

Donald Trump Jr. took to X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday (June 6, 2024) to attack Marshall Mathers in response to a viral post claiming that he has vowed to “leave America if Trump is elected.” Trump Jr. replied by poking fun at Em’s appearance, writing above a photo of the Detroit icon: “Are you really telling me that’s not Ellen DeGeneres????”However, it appears that Trump Jr. fell for fake news as there’s no evidence that the rapper made such comments and X flagged it as a spam news.

Many fans on X roasted him for going against Eminem. “bro has more money than you’ll ever have dreamed of achieving without grifting off your dad.” said one of the users. Another said: “Go ahead. Make an enemy of Eminem. We all know where that will go. Someone said: “Nepo-Barbie has thoughts on Eminem. Good luck kid.”

Despite this, Eminem has been made no secret of his disdain for Donald Trump in the past. Slim Shady called out the controversial businessman turned politician on his song “Campaign Speech” which was released shortly before the 2016 presidential election (which Trump won).

“You say Trump don’t kiss a-s like a puppet/ ‘Cause he runs his campaign with his own cash for the fundin’/ And that’s what you wanted/ A f–kin’ loose cannon who’s blunt with his hand on the button/ Who doesn’t have to answer to no one –great idea!” Em rapped.

Em also called Trump a “b–ch” in his verse on Big Sean‘s “No Favors” which dropped a few weeks after he took office. Eminem’s most notable lyrical attack, however, came during his 2017 BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher where he urged his huge fanbase to pick a side. “I’m drawing in the sand a line, you’re either for or against/ And if you can’t decide who you like more and you’re split/ On who you should stand beside, I’ll do it for you with this: F–k you!” Eminem rapped. He continued: “The rest of America, stand up!/ We love our military, and we love our country/ But we f–kin’ hate Trump!” Eminem also dissed Trump in several songs on Revival album, including “Like Home” with Alicia Keys and “Nowhere Fast” with Kehlani.

Eminem to perform during Terence Crawford & Israil Madrimov fight

BREAKING: Eminem is scheduled to perform at the Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov fight on August 3rd, 2024, at the Bank of Montreal Stadium in Los Angeles for the Riyadh Season Card.

Eminem is probably supporting Terence Crawford again. Last year, as sports fans across the world waited for the incendiary welterweight boxing championship match between Terence Crawford and his archrival Errol Spence Jr., Slim Shady made an unprecedented surprise appearance during the ring walk in Las Vegas.

Marshall, who joined Crawford during his welterweight title match at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, hyped the crowd up just ahead of one of the most influential boxing matches of our times. “Las Vegas, make some noise for the next undisputed welterweight champion of the world, Terence ‘Bud’ f—ing Crawford,” Eminem roared to the roaring crowd at the packed arena.

The Detroit icon didn’t rap the song as a recording of the track simply played while they walked out. However, his appearance was still a big deal in itself. As for how Crawford managed to get Eminem as his hype man? All it took was a simple DM. “I throw a rock in a haystack and he replied, I told him to pull up, and he said, ‘I’m there. You’re one of my favorite fighters,’” Crawford said (via Rolling Stone). “That showed a lot of support for me, and that showed what level I’m at in the boxing world.”

Terence Crawford will step into the ring against light-middleweight world champion Israil Madrimov on August 3 in Los Angeles as he attempts to win a world title at a fourth different weight.
The 36-year-old holds an unbeaten record in 40 professional fights, winning all of them, and has held world titles in the welterweight, super-lightweight and lightweight divisions.

His opponent Madrimov defeated Magomed Kurbanov to win the vacant belt in March. The 29-year-old is also unbeaten and has won 10 fights and drawn one. “Terence Crawford is one of my favourite boxers and one of the best boxers in the world,” he said. “I am very excited to get this opportunity to make a statement, and I will”….And few minutes ago, Eminem was announced as the special guest performer for the fight night.
