Yelawolf talks relationship with Eminem since Shady Records contract ended

Riff Raff and Yelawolf has recently set down for the live session where the two answered questions from fans. You can check the conversation about Eminem below.

Riff Raff: I’ve never met Eminem. I’ve seen him at concert but he would not even know me. I put on hoodie and just enjoyed the show. I never met him in person.

Yelawolf: Marshall’s hommie. For the six years that I was with Marshall he showed nothing but respect. And my hats off to Marshall because it takes a lot of balls to allow artists like me to do a record like ‘Love Story’ under Shady. So my hats are always off to Shady and Marshall for allowing me to spread my wings and do something creatively that otherwise some other labels might have been scared to do so I got nothing but love for Shady Records. Always.

Riff Raff: Do you have any unreleased song with Eminem? Something in the vault?

Yelawolf: I wish we did. Everything that Marshall and I recorded actually came out. Those sessions were very private. I don’t have a single photo of us working in the studio. For the six years that I was there it was very private. So the memories are just my own. It’s just something that I can pass down as a story to my kids. But I don’t really have any documented photo or footage of those sessions. It’s just a sessions that happened and stories that I can tell.”

Yelawolf: Some of the vibes very super super good because I’m so stubborn. You’d imagine me coming up at the studio, having an ideas and maybe at some point even disagreeing with some of the creative direction and it’s really hard to do to look at Marshall and say ‘I don’t know about this, I have a doubt about this’ and he’s like ‘yo trust me!’ This allowed us to built something special but it took a lot of heart to say what I don’t agree with but I trusted his creative vision.

Yelawolf: There was one record that I really really didn’t believe in but the rest of the crew believed in it so I put it on blast that I was like ‘yo Marshall, if you want me to do this you gotta give me a drive. Intro for this song. So at the beginning of the song ‘Good Girl,’ Marshall gives me a drive.

On This Day: Lloyd Banks – “Where I’m At” ft. Eminem

On this day, exactly 10 years ago (November 22, 2010), Lloyd Banks released his third solo studio album H.F.M. 2 (The Hunger for More 2) through G-Unit and EMI Records. The album includes 6 bonus tracks and “Where I’m At,” featuring Eminem and Matthew Burnett and Boi-1da is one of them. The album also features 50 Cent, Kanye West, Pusha T, Akon among others.

“There ain’t no one on this Earth right now I’d much rather be ‘Cause, goddamn it, I’m glad that I’m me”

– Eminem (Hook of “Where I’m At”)

Unfortunately, the song was leaked month earlier than an official release date alongside the official remix of the song “Celebrity,” featuring Akon and Eminem. You can listen to the song below:

AI creates Mark Zuckerberg diss song using Eminem’s voice & it’s incredible !

Eminem has destroyed personalities like Donald Trump, Mariah Carey, Ja Rule and Machine Gun Kelly to name a few with his sharp words in his lifetime. Now, as there is no beef between Slim Shady and Facebook’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Artificial Intelligence created a Zuckerberg diss track, impersonating Eminem’s diss-flow rapping.

YouTube creators from the channel, Calamity AI recently made an artificial intelligence (AI) model write and compose a diss track about Mark Zuckerberg in Eminem’s voice and his signature flow.

The creators used a GPT-3-powered tool to compose the entire lyrics, which is just an amalgamation of gibberish diss-words that do not really make sense. However, some of the sentences are straight-up shallow roasts and are very funny.

Firstly, the creators set “Mark Zuckerberg diss in the style of Eminem” as an input for the Shortly Read tool. They then used the Google Tactron 2 engine, which can generate human-like speech from texts, to imitate Eminem’s voice for the rap.

Then the creators of Calamity AI sent the audio to another YouTube creator, 30Hz to create a relevant video for the song. And 30Hz did a decent job by creating a legit-looking music video for the Zuckerberg-diss-track. You can check the final output in the video below:

BREAKING: Symbolyc One says Eminem is asking beats for music sessions

Symbolyc One, who has previously produced Eminem’s “Bad Guy,” “Normal,” “Nice Guy,” Royce Da 5’9″ and Eminem’s “Caterpillar” and 50 Cent and Eminem’s “My Life,” has recently done an interview with Hip-Hop N More to celebrate 10 years anniversary of Kanye West’s classic album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. During the interview, Eminem’s name has surfaced:

Interviewer: What other collaborations are you working on now? I remember last time you spoke you had done some work with Eminem and J. Cole. What are you cooking up now?

S1: Actually, quite a bit. I had a Meek Mill song drop yesterday so definitely check that, it is called ‘Pain Away’. I produced it with my guy Epikh Pro, it is featuring Lil Durk. I have definitely been working with J. Cole a lot. I do not know what he is doing as far as releasing, kinda just in the dark with a lot of stuff. I am still sending Eminem stuff. He has been asking for sessions, stems. He is very secretive. Oh, I have been working with Rapsody a lot and we’ve been making some incredible music.

You can read the full interview here.

About a month ago, S1 hinted on something related to Eminem: “One of the dopest rappers was born today. Didn’t realize I had so many songs with Eminem on it. More to come! Should I release some unreleased S1 x Marshall songs today?!?” You can check the post below:

The same day, Illa Da Producer, the man who produced “Killshot,” “The Ringer,” “Lucky You,” “Offended,” “Normal” and “Good Guy,” hinted on something similar related to Eminem: “Happy Gday to the GOAT Eminem. Can’t thank you enough for changing my life! Truly blessed to work with you! We got more hits on the way!” Check out the post below:

Today, 20 years ago, Eminem released “Stan”

On this day, exactly 20 years ago (November 21, 2000), Eminem released “Stan,” featuring Dido, as the 3rd single from his third solo studio album “The Marshall Mathers LP.”

The multi-platinum “Stan” single was one of his most well-received singles. VH1’s ranked the song at number 15 on the list of Top 100 Hip Hop Songs of All Time. Rolling Stone magazine also put “Stan” at number 296 in their list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and was named in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.

Based on the content of the song, this song has cemented itself in history, with “Stan” being entered into the Oxford Dictionary as an informal noun. It is generally considered to be a portmanteau of “stalker” and “fan,” but Oxford defines the term as: An overzealous or obsessive fan of a particular celebrity.

In a 2011, Eminem appeared on Shade 45 radio channel where he revealed: “There was a verse where Stan got out of the water. He escaped and came to my house to kill me. Then I had to kill him first but I missed him, and he was in the hospital for like three weeks. Then he was pissed off that I did not write him get-well cards, so he came to kill me again, and in the last verse finally I just blew his head off.

In 2013, Eminem released the second part of the song, titled “Bad Guy,” wherein Stan’s younger brother Matthew avenges his brother’s death. Listen to the song below:

In his new book, Barack Obama explains how he relates to Eminem’s “Lose Yourself”

Couple of days ago, Barack Obama released a new book, titled “A Promised Land,” where the former president of the United States explains how he relates to Eminem’s Oscar-winning song “Lose Yourself” and Jay Z’s “My First Song.” You can read the chapter below:

“Ultimately it was rap that got my head in the right place, two songs especially: Jay Z’s “My 1st Song” and Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself.” Both were about defying odds and putting it all on the line (“Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment, would capture it? Or just let it slip…”); how it felt to spin something out of nothing; getting by on wit, hustle, and fear disguised as bravado. The lyrics felt tailored to my early underdog status. And as I set alone in the back of the Secret Service van on the way to a debate site, in my crisp uniform and dimpled tie, I’d nod my head to the beat of those songs, feeling a whiff of private rebellion, a connection to something gritter and more real than all the fuss and deference that now surrounded me. It was a way to cut through the artifice and remember who I was.”

Thanks to @flowstoowet twitter for the info.

One day before the release of the book, Barack Obama shared the playlist of the songs that he was listening during his presidency. You can check out the playlist here.
