Luis Resto says Eminem goes back to his hard-hitting roots on new album

Speaking to The National after his performance at Mutek.AE music and design festival last week in Dubai, iconic pianist Luis Resto, Eminem‘s long-time collaborator, says the Detroit legend’s much-anticipated new album will have him going back to his hard-hitting roots. He also revealed that he has been contributing sporadically to Slim Shady’s new album since 2021.

“I do have a notion of things judging by what I have seen and heard across the last three years and if I have to give you a forecast, you are going to hear a whole nod back to some of his original creative areas. He is talking about where he came from and where he is now. So it is really a hodgepodge musically of ideas and influences.” says Luis Resto.

Resto’s contribution continues his long-standing relationship Em, stemming back to 2000’s The Marshall Mathers LP. Although that record had him contributing minimally, it was from 2002’s follow up The Eminem Show that Resto scored song-writing credits on each of Eminem’s album and associated soundtracks. The work includes co-writing and producing chart-topping hits such as 2004’s Toy Soldiers, 2010’s Grammy Award-winning Not Afraid and 2020’s Godzilla. The track record also includes the wildly successful 2002 track Lose Yourself from 8 Mile, a film that starred Eminem. The song earned the duo, alongside co-producer and writer Jeff Bass, an Oscar for Best Original Song in 2003.

Resto recalls writing the dramatic string section when recording the track in a makeshift studio on the film set in Eminem’s hometown Detroit: “Marshall led that session and I remember he kept saying how the song felt too rock ‘n’ roll and he wanted us to really rebuild the song and take it in a different direction. And this is where I got to use my orchestral chops and added piano, French horns, flutes and strings. I love the hip-hip ethos in general because a lot of it is based on using your ear and feeling your way through songs.

“Now I personally have knowledge of music theory and I am well-versed on how it all works but working with people like Eminem and 50 Cent is a much more open session. It’s not based on major or minor chords or what is correct or not. It’s based on whether it sounds dope or not. Sometimes we are in the studio and they would look at us and wonder if what they are doing is right. And from my experience, I would tell them that it depends on what context you are asking me. If you are asking me theoretically, then I could say that this is not the right note and then what happens is the minute we change it to the correct note, the song is not as cool as it sounds. We often change it back again because they knew what they wanted in the first place.”

“I went out on the road with him around 2011 and quickly realized that he needed a more youthful culture projected on stage. I remember at that time I always wore my hair long and I went grey so early in life that I was done dyeing it. So when one of the roadies asked me if I was going to dye it, I understood the band really needed to look for somebody different. There was absolutely no offence taken because my relationship with Eminem continued and the work flowed.” Luis Resto added.

Nick Cannon compares his battle with Eminem to Drake and Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar drops his 4th diss track towards Drake. The rapper has been feuding with Drake, dropping the diss track titled “Euphoria” few days ago followed by “6:16 In LA” yesterday morning and “meet the grahams” at midnight. With each song, K. Dot has been getting more and more ruthless. His newest one is called “Not Like Us,” produced by Mustard, and it’s as brutal as it gets. It also made Nick Cannon to call himself a trend setter.

While the Compton rapper’s previous tracks had lines accusing Drake of pedophilia, “Not Like Us” goes deeper. He also takes aim at Chubbs (Drake’s head of security) and OVO singer PartyNextDoor and Baka Not Nice (who was once arrested on human trafficking charges). “Certified lover boy, certified pedophiles… Why he trollin’ like a b–ch? Ain’t you tired?/ Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A-Minor.” raps Kendrick. The artwork for the single also depicts Drake’s house on a predator app.

Drake so far has gone after Lamar on the tracks “Push Ups,” “Taylor Made Freestyle,” and, most recently, “Family Matters.” The beef began in March with “Like That,” the No. 1 hit from Future and Metro Boomin on which Lamar was featured and is a response to Drakes’ “First Person Shooter,” with J. Cole.

Watching Kendrick dropping back to back disses, Nick Cannon justified his action against Eminem under the comments on one of the posts on Instagram and declared himself as a Trend Setter of dropping back to back diss records: “And they got mad at me back when I dropped 4 @Eminem diss records! Back to Back to Back to Back! #Trendsetter.” he said.

Nick did drop back to back diss records towards Eminem but was it 4? After Slim Shady took shots at Nick on Fat Joe’s “Lord Above,” the San Diego, California-born hip-hop artist and comedian hit back at Em with “Pray For Me,” “The Invitation” and “The Invitation Canceled” diss tracks. The responses were so weak, Eminem decided to respond with just one tweet: “U mad bro? Stop lying on my dick. I never even had a chauffeur, you bougie f–k.”

Yelawolf talks meeting Eminem for the first time

In a recent interview with DJ VLAD, Yelawolf talked about meeting Eminem first time and doing the first album under Shady Records.

“What was the first meeting Eminem like? He walked around the corner reciting every word to Pop The Trunk, without even saying what’s up. He was just rapping it. It was mind-blowing.” said Yelawolf.

Then he continued: “I was like any other white boy that was chasing this hip-hop dream. It was crushing to have this…not being represented correctly. We always wanted to be representative. Somebody has to get this correct in a major major way and he did and I was just proud. Watching his success meant that I had a chance. Cause he kicked the door down. But you had to be a f–king beast. I wanted to be an ally and not on the receiving in of a battle ort anything like that. I never wanted that. I wanted to join that and get the cosign and I set out to do that. It was surreal. But at the same time, if you would have asked me 10 years before ‘are you gonna sign to Shady’ I would have just been like ‘f–k yeah.’ It’s that ego thing. I held on to that demo tape I found of his 10 years before, classic Eminem, he would hand those to labels and s–t. I found it, put it in my back pocket and I set out to put in his hands and I did that very thing.”

“So, it was surreal but it was also almost immediately. After brewing down with him, having really great meeting and a conversation with him, I think I jumped right back in the car and I was like ‘man lets do the album immediately.’ So we did. We went out to Vegas, wrote a record with Mally Mall, WLPWR, show back up a couple months later with an album done.” Yelawolf added. You can watch the new interview below:

Mohamed Salah makes entire Liverpool squad work out to Eminem

Liverpool’s official social media pages shared a video of their players working out to Eminem songs at the AXA Training Centre, thanks to Mohamed Salah.

Alexis Mac Allister, Darwin Núñez, Alisson Becker, Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Conor Bradley, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Díaz and others are seen swearing it out in the gym with some of the greatest hits from Eminem, including “Without Me,” “The Real Slim Shady,” “Lose Yourself,” and “Love The Way You Lie” with Rihanna.

What’s notable in the video is that, the players were listening to different songs until the Egyptian King arrived with the question: “What’s wrong with the music here?! Guys!” and started playing the entire playlist of Eminem.

This is not the first time Salah showed love to Eminem. Last year, Ibrahima Konate asked the Liverpool winger what’s his favorite tour song on which Salah replied: “Eminem, Lose Yourself.” To which a surprised Konate said: “Oh my God, Trent have you heard what he went for. Oh my God, Eminem.” The Egyptian said: “That’s my favorite one.”

Salah clashed with Klopp as he was about to come on during last weekend’s 2-2 draw at West Ham. The Egypt forward, declined interview requests after the game, saying: “There’s going to be a fire today if I speak.” But Klopp said on Friday: “There’s no problem. We are absolutely fine with it. It’s a non-story.”… Watch the video of players working out below:

Benzino’s ghostwriter breaks silence on Eminem diss

Benzino’s “Rap Elvis” ghostwriter, battle rapper Ness Lee finally breaks silence about the diss record and describes the writing process in a new interview with TRAP NEWZ DAILY.

“First of all, f–k that n-gga who sent the video to Cliff Beats. That s–t kinda goofy. But at the end of the day I just wanted to do something historic. I felt like I could accomplish writing a greatest diss song towards Eminem. That’s all I wanted to do.” said Ness Lee.

Then he continued: “If you want to win a round against somebody like Eminem or you want to get close or whatever case may be, I’m the one you come to. I’m not really a fan of everything’s that’s going on after that. First a foremost, I did not have anything to do with the first diss record [Vulturius]. They dropped Proof name like that. I had nothing to do with that. It was not even good enough to be from my pen. Two, I would never disrespect my brother Proof. He was eventually going to sign me back in 03. He was the first person to show me love in the industry of battle rap. That’s my big brother, I would never disrespect him like that. The diss that I did, I said, rest in peace to the best one, the rest of them sound iffy. It was never supposed to be public that it was me. This is my first interview and probably my only interview about it.”

“I’ve been getting some concerned messages from some of my brothers from Detroit, some people who I don’t even know, that felt some kind of way about the first track and I had to tell them that I had nothing to do with that one. I physically does not write that basic. And most of, I would never say that s–t about Proof. If this man [Benzino] is in a war with this dude [Eminem], it’s on him what he wants to say. I can’t dictate. I mean, I can but when I spoke to that man in the beginning, I asked where his mind is on the whole situation and he said ain’t no street involved and that’s when I decided to get involved. I made sure it was not going to be no dumb s–t. I love a lot of people from Detroit.” Ness Lee added. You can watch the entire interview about below:

Joyner Lucas asks Eminem to jump on the remix of one of his songs from new album

About a month ago, Joyner Lucas released his second solo studio album Not Now I’m Busy. One of the standout tracks off the album is “I’m Ill,” produced by ADHD Productions and Leo Son.

Joyner Lucas has recently posted a snippet of the music video of “I’m Ill” on his social media accounts and in the caption, he asked Eminem to jump on the remix. “I want @Eminembon the remix of this.” Under the Instagram post, Page Kennedy commented: “I can hear him rip it.” Grafh also replied, saying “Fireee.”

Under the comment section of his Facebook post, one of the fans commented: “Didn’t you throw a slight diss in one of your tracks his way last year? Lol” On that, Joyner replied: “are you on drugs?”

Speaking to The Breakfast Club last month, Joyner Lucas revealed just how hard it is to get in touch with Eminem, comparing it to getting the president on the phone. “Getting on the phone with him, you can probably hop on the phone quicker with Barack [Obama] than you can hop on the phone with Marshall. That n-gga’s calling you from a line with his manager’s assistant who is calling you from a 1800 number and it’s like elevator music and, ‘Please hold, Marshall’s coming to the phone.’”

He continued: “You can’t have his number. Nobody has his number. He’s not accessible. You can’t talk to him. It’s like hopping on the phone with the president. I always wondered why this n-gga move like that. I had a conversation with him on the shoot of ‘Lucky You’ and he was in his trailer and I was like, ‘Yeah man, anytime you wanna talk, you can hit me,’. He was like, ‘Yeah’ but I could tell he was real standoffish. I asked Royce Da 5’9″ why he’s like that. He was like, ‘That n-gga’s been through a lot of s–t. He’s very closed-off from people. I never understood it but when I was experiencing the s–t I was experiencing, I got it instantly. I’m like, ‘This is why this motherf–ker doesn’t want new friends.’”

Joe Budden podcast crew discuss new Eminem album

The latest episode of the Joe Budden Podcast begins with the news of a cease and desist from Tupac’s estate over the use of his vocals on Drake’s ‘Taylor Made’ Freestyle before turning to Megan Thee Stallion being accused of harassment in lawsuit by her ex-cameraman. Then they go to discuss Eminem‘s new album which is set to be released this summer.

“I saw a lot of negative reactions too but Eminem announced that he’s dropping The Death Of Slim Shady album. Personally I’m excited. I see some people say he does not rap about anything or he just raps about how good he raps. A lot of people don’t like the fast rapping flow and etc. I say to those people ‘I don’t think you listen to his last project, Music To Be Murdered By. It’s an amazing album. That was my number two album of 2020.” said Officially Ice.

From there, Joe Budden interfered: “Did I get dissed on there?” But he was quickly reminded that he was dissed on 2018’s Kamikaze album. On that he replied: “Alright, I’ll check that out then.”

Then Ice continues: “He went back and did the deluxe thing and added second album to it. I didn’t really rock with second but the original Music To Be Murdered By was a great project, a lot of concepts. It (new trailer) was rolled out as true crime investigation doc type of thing, so if this is what you are doing and you are announcing this as the death of Slim Shady, I’m expecting something conceptual on here and when he get on that bag, he’s really not to be f–ked with.” You can watch the podcast below:

Eminem narrates new Crypto advertising campaign

Detroit legend Eminem has teamed up with Crypto.com for the company’s latest advertising campaign. The commercial, first shared by Eminem on X (formerly Twitter), has featured his voice narration.

The campaign is set to make a splash during a high-visibility slot this Saturday at the NBA Playoff game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Clippers at the Crypto.com Arena, Crypto.com shared in a statement.

Following the premiere, the ad will continue to feature in a series of high-profile sporting events including additional NBA Playoff games with the Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Kings, the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix running from May 3-5, and the upcoming UFC events where Crypto.com also serves as the Official Fight Kit Partner.

Steven Kalifowitz, Chief Marketing Officer at Crypto.com, underscored the comprehensive nature of the campaign. He stated: “Crypto.com has become one of the most recognized global brands by partnering with iconic people, places, and events. Our latest brand film builds on this theme and reiterates our deep conviction for our industry and the community building it responsibly.”

This is not Eminem’s first interaction with crypto. His engagement with crypto dates back to at least 2018, when he mentioned Bitcoin in a track on his “Kamikaze” album. The artist also made headlines in 2022 when he purchased a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT for 123.45 ETH, worth around $462,000 at the time of purchase. Crypto.com’s campaign also revives the potent slogan “Fortune favors the brave,” famously voiced by actor Matt Damon in an earlier ad for the company.

In the video, that features Eminem’s uncrowned Recovery anthem “Cinderella Man,” Eminem says: “They ignored your potentials. Dissed your achievements. Mocked your ambition. But it’s not the critic who counts and you know that. From the beginning, you could not be stopped. Breaking resistance with every swing and block. Your game plan never changed. So enjoy this moment, the one that they said you’d never see. Some still call it luck. Let ’em. Cause you know what it’s always been. INEVITABLE.” You can watch the ad below:

Is Eminem making a music video for “Joker 2” ?!

Eminem has just announced that he will be dropping his new album, “The Death Of Slim Shady: Coup De Grâce” this summer. Well, Southpawer already has you covered with a solid theory of what to expect.

I believe Eminem just secretly revealed he’s shooting a music video for the movie Joker 2 Folie à Duex. Here’s my evidence:

First of all, look at the title of Eminem’s new album title in comparison to the new Joker movie. “The Death Of Slim Shady: Coup De Grâce” and  “Joker 2: Folie à Duex.” Both titles are written half in English and half in French.

Next, let’s go back to 2013, the last time Eminem had beef with Slim. On the song “Evil Twin” he referenced his potential suicide note being signed by the Joker.  Perhaps 10 years later, when Slim Shady dies, we’ll find a forged suicide note attached to his body, signed by The Joker. I admit this one is a bit of a stretch, but maybe this is Eminem’s subconscious spilling the beans.

“My suicide note’s barely legible; read the
Bottom, it’s signed by the Joker”
– Eminem (“Evil Twin”)

We also know that Joker 2 is a musical film with a 200 million dollar budget. They are spending a lot of money, and maybe they’re using it to afford musical talent. We know Eminem loves appearing on soundtracks. Just to name a few, he’s been on Southpaw, Venom and most recently, Elvis. A horror-esque movie musical has Eminem’s name written all over it.

Thanks to a famous clown dancing scene in the first Joker movie, these stairs have become very iconic. Set photos have shown that they’re going to appear in the sequel as well. Maybe they’re even going to appear in Eminem’s next music video. Slim Shady seemed to have picked a very interesting spot to die on. I think this staircase is a fairly obvious nod to the famous stairs seen in the movies.

Even if I’m wrong about all of this, I have one final clue that I think will convince any reader. When Eminem dropped the trailer for the new album yesterday, I assumed it was mostly old footage being used until I noticed one detail. If you pause and zoom in, you’ll notice what appears to be a Joker scar cut into the corner of Eminem’s mouth. It’s blink and you’ll miss it but it’s there. This also means that Eminem shaved his beard for something. That’s the first time before Revival as far as we know.

Are there any clues we missed? Let us know your theories in our comments.

Hip-hop artists & producers who will probably appear on new Eminem album

Last night, Eminem announced his new album title The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace), by way of a true crime-themed trailer. It aired during the 2024 NFL Draft, which took place in Slim Shady’s hometown of Detroit. The trailer displays an advertisement for a faux TV series called Detroit Murder Files that is covering the death of his iconic alter ego, Slim Shady.

“Through his complex and oft-criticized, tongue-twisting rhymes, the anti-hero known as Slim Shady has had no shortage of enemies,” the narrator announces. Then his long-time friend and collaborator 50 Cent makes a cameo in clip saying, “He’s not a friend, he’s a psychopath.”

The narrator then continues: “The same rude lyrics and controversial antics may have ultimately led to his demise. Join me as we recreate the events that led to the murder of Slim Shady.” Eminem makes an appearance as the trailer closes, noting: “I knew it was only a matter of time for Slim.” And a graphic then notes: The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace) Summer 2024.

It sounds like Metro Boomin wants in on the new Shady LP. “Somebody please tell Eminem I’m tryna lock in!!!” the super producer tweeted after the trailer was shared on social media by Eminem but he most likely won’t be featured on the album but who will make an appearance? Below is the list of artists and producers who are supposed to appear on the album based on their social media activities.

WHITE GOLD
Singer, songwriter, and producer White Gold is definitely on the list. The Bronx, New York-born artist has previously collaborated with Eminem and Royce 5’9″ on several songs. Those tracks include “You Gon’ Learn” and “Zeus” from Eminem’s Music to Be Murdered By (Deluxe) album and “Black Savage” and “Hero” from Royce 5’9″s The Allegory album. White Gold shared Eminem’s new album trailer on his Instagram with the caption: “Summer 2024. See you then.” And that makes us think another Gold & Slim track is on the way.

DEM JOINTZ
Aftermath producer Dem Jointz, who is locked in the studio with Dr. Dre almost all the time and who has previously produced Dr. Dre’s “Medicine Man,” featuring Eminem, Candice Pillay and Anderson .Paak, Eminem’s “Never Love Again” and DJ Khaled’s “Use This Gospel (Remix),” featuring Kanye West and Eminem, shared Eminem’s teaser-trailer video on his Instagram with the caption: “THE DEATH of SLIM SHADY (COUP DE GRÂCE) This Summer’s Gone Be Crayzay!”

FREDWRECK
Another Aftermath producer, Fredwreck, the man who brought Slim Shady back on Revival album by producing “Framed” track. Flint, Michigan-born musician posted the teaser trailer on his Instagram story with the caption: “Summer 2024!!!! @eminem”

SKYLAR GREY
Eminem’s longtime collaborator Skylar Grey shared Eminem’s album trailer on her Instagram story, but that does not mean anything. She might just be supporting Em by doing so but considering how many tracks the two have created together through the years, it’s hard to imagine an Eminem album without Skylar Grey feature.

ROYCE DA 5’9″
There is no doubt Royce to be on the new Eminem album. Fans have been asking for Bad Meets Evil for more than a decade now so we might get another taste of the two top tier lyricist going back and forth. Em’s last solo studio album was 2020’s Music To Be Murdered By and Royce was a part of 4 tracks on the project. He was featured on “You Gon’ Learn,” featuring White Gold, “Yah Yah,” featuring Black Thought, Denaun and Q-Tip and “I Will,” featuring Kxng Crooked and Joell Ortiz. He also produced “Darkness” and “You Gon’ Learn.” Royce was also in the studio when Eminem played the album for Dr. Dre.

DR. DRE
During his visit with Jimmy Kimmel, Dr. Dre confirmed that he got some heat on new Eminem album: “Let me tell you something. Let me explain something right now. Eminem is working on his own album which is coming out this year and I actually talked to him and he said it was okay for me to make that announcement right here on this show. So yeah, the album coming out, I got songs on it and it’s fire. I’m actually going to hear entire album for the first time tomorrow. He holds his music close to his chest so I have not heard everything. I have not even heard everything complete that I’ve done but I’m gonna hear it and he’s putting out album this year. There are things on there that I have to mix that I’ve done but I got a chance to hear album in its entirety.”

50 CENT
New 50 Cent and Eminem banger is long overdue. During a recent conversation with DJ Whoo Kid, Em said: “50 Cent and Eminem collaboration album? Where that come from? I don’t know whose idea that was but that’s crazy. Yo, I’m trying to get him to make another album so bad. We need another 50 album, like, really bad bro. 50’s on the roll right now. He’s been on the roll since the tour and I told him he needs a f–king…whatever he needs from me, I’m here. That’s sh–t be crazy though, an album with me and him.”

EZ MIL
The newest Shady Records signee was in the studio with Eminem during a listening session with Dr. Dre. Few days after that, Ez Mil went live on Instagram where he was acting shady when talking about the session and said that he can’t say a word about the potential new music with Em. The two have already made a song called “Realest” but a song on Eminem’s new album would be a great promotion for young Pipelines artist.

Metro Boomin wants to collab with Eminem

Eminem is back. The Detroit icon announced that he will be releasing his highly anticipated comeback album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), this summer. Metro Boomin, who has recently started beef with Drake, expressed his desire to work with Eminem on his new album.

Metro took to X (formerly Twitter) after Eminem released the teaser trailer for his new album. The producer didn’t mince words. “Somebody please tell Eminem I’m tryna lock in,” he wrote next to three lock emojis. Metro has been one of the prolific artists in the genre for a decade, so it makes sense that he’d want to experiment. Metro has praised the Detroit rapper multiple times in the past. He hyped up Shady’s 2011 BET cypher on X. He also workshopped a “dream” album with Em in mind during a thread in January.

Metro Boomin said he wanted to create an album featuring all the rap stars of the early 2000s. One of the fans asked who he want to work with most, and he named Eminem as one of his top picks. Those who have followed Metro’s career should not be taken aback by his fandom.

While his beats sounds worlds apart from Eminem’s, the producer loves Em and Dr. Dre’s work on 2001. He told GQ that they the album was the inspiration for his own Heroes & Villains release. “You can still make great songs with artists, but as a producer, it’s like, what are you bringing. You’ve got to bring new artists. That’s a big part of your duty.” said Metro Moomin. Check his tweet below:
