4 times Eminem and Jay Z collaborated on a song !

Today, legendary rapper Jay Z turns 51. To celebrate the birthday of one of the iconic figures in the hip-hop world, we have listed all the tracks Jay-Z and Eminem have collaborated throughout their decades-long career.

1. Jay Z – “Renegade,” featuring Eminem (produced by Eminem) [2001]

“Renegade” is a song from The Blueprint album by Jay-Z. Not only Eminem was the only guest rapper on the whole album, but he also produced the beat (originally for him and Royce Da 5’9″).

2. Jay Z – “8 Miles and Runnin'” featuring Freeway (produced by Eminem) [2002] 

“8 Miles and Runnin'” is a song by Jay-Z from 8 Mile: Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture album. It is produced by Eminem, and features Freeway, who at the time of this song was released, had just been signed to Roc-A-Fella Records. The name of the song “8 Miles and Runnin’” is shout out to the legendary song “100 Miles and Runnin’” by N.W.A.

3. Jay Z – “Moment of Clarity” (produced by Eminem) [2003]

“Moment of Clarity” is a track by Jay-Z from The Black Album. It is produced by Eminem and his long-time collaborator Luis Resto. We can assume Jay got this beat for free since on DJ Kay Slay’s 2003 freestyle, Eminem raps: “I’ve made beats for Jay-Z for free.”

4. Eminem – “Syllables,” featuring Jay Z, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Stat Quo and Ca$his (produced by Eminem) [surfaced in 2010] 

The song was surfaced online in late 2010. It was produced by Eminem and Dr. Dre and was recorded around late 2007 but it was never officially released. It was possibly intended for Eminem’s scrapped project titled King Mathers or Dr. Dre’s never released album DETOX. The actual name “My Syllables” was confirmed in an October 2008 interview with Quo where he says: “The song that featured Jay-Z is a song that Eminem’s putting on his album, called ‘My Syllables.'” For more details, read here. When the song surfaced online, it was just titled “Syllables.”

 

Nicky Jam says one of Eminem’s albums inspired him to make music

Hard Knock Tv’s Nick Huff Barili has recently set down with Latin trap and reggaeton artists Nicky Jam for in-depth interview where Nicky talks about his childhood and remembers both parents battling addiction.

Nicky also remembers listening to rap legends like Tribe Called Quest, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, LL Cool J and wanting to be like them.

At one point of the interview, Nicky was asked to pick three albums which embody who Nicky Jam is and that’s where Eminem’s name surfaces.

“I could say Jay Z’s album, Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint. And Eminem’s album The Marshall Mathers LP. They gave me the vibe that I would like to do. Reasonable Doubt, that album was just like speaking the truth in a nice way, making it sound so nice to hear. And Eminem cause, Eminem had no hair in his tongue. He would say anything. He was so good with words. All those albums made me to do albums.” says Nicky Jam.

N.O.R.E. names one thing that can get Eminem killed in a Rap Battle

In one of the latest episodes of MATHHOFFATV, a rapper, actor and media personality N.O.R.E. has talked about battle rappers and named what Eminem lacks for battle rap that might get him lost in the battle.

“Showmanship is a problem in battle rap. It is about the showmanship and that is something that unfortunately in battle rap you can not teach, that is an experience. What I am saying is, for a seasoned artist that has been twenty years in the game as an artist, it is hard for that man to go back and battle. And I think Eminem lyrically could beat a lot of people but I think the showmanship is going to kill him bro.” says N.O.R.E.

Eminem names Treach’s verse that he’s still trying to catch up

Today, legendary rapper Treach, the lead rapper of the hip hop group Naughty by Nature, turns 49 years old. Treach was one of the biggest influences for Eminem while growing up.

Few hours ago, Eminem went on Twitter to wish Treach a happy birthday: “Happy birth day to one of the greatest rappers of all time! I am still trying to catch up to the greatness of the last verse on “Craziest” !” This is one of the rarest cases when Eminem posts on social media. Check the post below:

 

“Craziest” is a song by Naughty by Nature released way back in 1994, from Poverty’s Paradise album. The last verse belongs to Treach. Listen to the song below:

Couple of weeks ago, Treach did an interview with Fat Joe where he talked about Eminem:

“That is my light skinned brother. I mean, the fact that I am his one of the biggest influences makes me feel like I did my job. Anybody that I admire, all the fans and the millions of records and the tours worldwide and everything. It shows like we did something so when you hear from that caliber, it just humbles you. We kick it back and forth. Eminem for his birthday, my birthdays, we’d be kicking in it. So It is like mutual respect, you feel me? He is one of the dopest of all times, hands down. And It shows how the culture is so great. It brings everybody together. All races. Hip-Hop brings everybody together. So that is my bro-bro. I love Em.”

Comparing 8 Mile & Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ movies in numbers

8 Mile is a 2002 American hip-hop drama film directed by Curtis Hanson and written by Scott Silver. It stars Eminem in his film debut, alongside Mekhi Phifer, Brittany Murphy, Kim Basinger, Anthony Mackie and Michael Shannon.

Royce 5’9″ about talks Cordae, Mac Miller, Eminem, Lord Jamar & more

Royce 5’9″ has recently set down with @threeletterman3 to talk about many things. You can check out the full interview below.

On the Grammy nomination

“I think its a great category and I am not just saying that. Anybody who wins from the best rap album category that’s a win for the culture. I promise you on everything I love, I f**k with everybody in the category. Every album. I would love to see Nas get one though. ”

On Fredro Starr

“You care coming to business to develop beautiful relationships with this people that want to se you do well and want nothing but the best for you. I want nothing but the best for Fredro Starr. That will always be the case for me because I grew up as a fan and he’s my brother. I want what’s best for him. Whether we are cool or not. But you can’t really say the same thing about Mr. Executive sitting next seat who can no longer make money with you no longer. All that kind of energy that ni**as put towards, trying to build relationships with these people, we need to use that energy to built relationships with one another and not tear each other down.”

On the new song “Father Figure”

Tobe Nwigwe called me and asked me to do it. Of course I told him yes. And Black Thought turned his verse right around like it was nothing. I’ve been doing so many things outside. I launched mental health initiative and when the pandemic first started I was doing some work with the front line people with the hospitals. It was taking me a very long time to actually get in here and done. They were waiting for me and we just shot the video.”

On Black Thought

“It’s hard to be a friend with Black Thought [laughs]. He does everything perfect. He’s always on time. He always does everything right. I sent my verse to Tobe and Tobe hit me back like ‘yo I told you I wanted you to keep it clean,’ so I did go back and change it. I had to change it because the verse was filthy. I had Rihanna line on there. So I had to change verse. Black Thought’s verse was squeaky clean. No cursing. I was like ‘oh this guy man!'”

On next Bar Exam project

“That’s always possible. I love Bar Exams series. I’m not thinking doing it now but I definitely love doing them.”

On why Cordae didn’t make The Allegory album

“Vince Staples set his verse last day because originally YBN Cordae was there in that spot. Atlantic would not clear YBN Cordae and I had to take him off cause they said they wanted to keep him young. These labels, they are so caught up young, young, young…Obviously the kid wanted to do it so why put him in that position and now the album is nominated for Grammy. You don’t think that was a bad move from them?”

On Eminem not receiving Grammy nod

“I’m not shocked. Everybody been giving hard time to Marshall. I don’t know where that s**t is coming from. Nothing in regards to Marshall surprises me anymore. But I don’t care and I don’t want him to care. He set the world on fire for six times over. He don’t owe nothing else. So I want him to sit back and just enjoy. That s**t ain’t even serious.”

On Eminem

“He doesn’t get credit for nothing man. People swear like he’s some white privilege like f**king MC Gasto. Em is like straight connoisseur. Like straight up historian. The very first day I walked into that hip-hop shop you don’t think Marshall was in there? Fat with dark hair and weird glasses? You don’t think he was standing right there? He’s FROM THAT S**TS.”

On Mac Miller 

“I love Mac Miller bro. I’ve always thought he was super nice. Super slick with it. And I think he was nice because I didn’t take him that serious because my first time hearing about him was being endorsed by Donald Trump way back in the day. This was before Trump’s presidential campaign. But then I was like ‘that motherf**ker can go hard!’ Me and Mac ended up being cool on some sobriety s**t too. Cool kid. I like him and he’s so dope.”

On his favorite video

“I like Caterpillar video a lot. I like Fast Lane. I like Fast Lane because all of the words on the screen. I thought that was real cool video.”

On Lord Jamar

“I gotta walk like I talk. I respect a legend. After that VLAD situation. He reached out. I remember calling Marshall about it. And I told him I really wanted to do that interview. I want to speak to him. And Em was like ‘yeah man, I’m not even on that.'”
