Eminem announces new album title during NFL Draft promo

Eminem is back!

The Detroit Lions introduced the world to the city with a warm welcome to kick off the NFL draft.

Current players and past legends joined NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Detroit hip-hop icon Eminem on the draft stage in the heart of Campus Martius Park to start the 2024 NFL draft. Jared Goff, freshly-extended Amon-Ra St. Brown, Aidan Hutchinson, Calvin Johnson and Barry Sanders walked out onto the stage with a dramatic entrance.

Goodell came out first to a wave of boos, as is custom, then it turned into a raucous cheer when Eminem came out. Then, The Detroit Lions legends graced the stage, and the crowd went crazy. St. Brown, now $120 million richer, was the first player to greet the crowd. He welcomed the massive crowd in attendance and then started a chant for his quarterback standing behind him.

“Before we get off the stage, I need to hear one thing, JA-RED GOFF, JA-RED GOFF,” St. Brown said, before trailing off and letting the strong Honolulu blue contingent in attendance take it from there. Goff and Hutchinson also addressed the crowd. “Welcome to Detroit, let’s go baby!” Goff yelled into the mic. Hutchinson then took over, and also greeted the crowd standing under a massive poster of the franchise defensive end. “Let’s turn up tonight baby, let’s go!” The crowd then broke out into more Goff chants to fill in the silence before the Lions’ players exited the stage for the draft to begin.

But before the show started, NFL aired an 30 seconds ad which appears to be the title of new Eminem album “THE DEATH OF SLIM SHADY,” (Coup De Grace) dropping this summer. The promo video features cameo from 50 Cent. Is Eminem saying goodbye to Slim Shady character or is this his final album? Check it out below:

Big Sean says Eminem turned down to rap on J Dilla beat

In a new cover story by Essence, Big Sean revealed that he attempted to get Eminem to rap over a J Dilla beat, but the Detroit legend passed on the opportunity.

Eminem and Big Sean collaborated on 2020’s Detroit 2 album posse cut “Friday Night Cypher” alongside Tee Grizzley, Kash Doll, Cash Kidd, Payroll, 42 Dugg, Boldy James, Drego, Sada Baby and Royce Da 5’9″, but it wasn’t the first idea he had in mind.

Sean got his hands on an unreleased J Dilla beat for the project and sent it to Eminem, but the song never materialized — despite Em liking the instrumental: “It reminded me of an old Eminem. And when I sent it to Em, he was like, ‘Man, I like the Dilla beat, for sure. I get it.’ But Em preferred the beat for the Friday Night Cypher.”

This wasn’t the only Dilla production that Eminem passed on. Denaun Porter previously revealed that A Tribe Called Quest‘s “Get a Hold” — from their 1996 album Beats, Rhymes & Life — originally belonged to Eminem. “He had the illest song to that beat. Em had that beat before Tribe and them had it. Proof gave it to him. It was like, ‘Yo, I gotta get some Dilla beats,’ I don’t know if he recorded it, but he wrote it because I remember him writing it and I remember the song being ill as hell. The concept he had to it was crazy. Proof told Jay Dee, ‘Yo, Em wants this beat.’ And it might have been another beat too. But that song… when we heard it on the Tribe album, we were like, ‘Aww man!’ But it’s A Tribe Called Quest — what you gonna say? Dilla told him a price and I think Em was trying to get the money up for it or something because we were broke. Mind you, they would’ve got Slim Marshall. This was before ‘Just Don’t Give a F–k.’”

Cam’ron talks about Eminem being one of the best rappers

Speaking in a video posted to Instagram over the weekend, Cam’ron answered questions from the fans. When one of the users asked him if he thinks Eminem is one of the best rappers or not, here is what Harlem, New York-born rapper replied:

“Is Eminem one of the best rappers? Yes, Eminem is one of the best rappers. Look, what happens is, a lot of people say Eminem don’t be sayin’ nothin’ he just putting words together or whatever but you gotta realize you gotta do what works for you. If that works for Eminem, for him to make all the money he made and the Grammys and awards, he so rich that he can’t come outside by himself then that just works for Eminem.” – Cam’ron said.

Then he continued: “You gotta respect n-ggas that’s going to get their checks so when you hear Eminem saying he just put the words together, he lives… He’s from Middle America. Now when n-ggas say Middle America you gotta realize what Middle America is. For people who don’t know, Ohio is only five and a half hours from New York but they call it the mid-west. Why? I don’t know. So, in the Middle America, you got Ohio, you got Michigan, you got Kentucky, you got Wyoming, you got North Dakota. You got all these places so if that works for Eminem? Cool. If I was Eminem and that was paying my bills I would have been like *Rappity rap.* I’ll be doing all that for that chicken n-gga. You gotta go where the chicken at. Now, if you got mad money and you doing it for the love I dig that too. That’s different when you doing it for the love.”

“Lots of n-ggas say ‘yo I’m the realest, nobody realer than me, I’m the realest rap out.’ If it don’t translate it don’t matter. Real n-ggas can rap and the n-gga don’t give a f–k, it’s about selling it. If you can’t sell it, it don’t matter. You got bulletproof vest on, gun in both ankles… If they don’t believe you, they don’t believe you and you don’t matter. That’s that. So to answer your question, do I think Eminem is a good rapper? Yeah! I believe Eminem is a good rapper.” Cam’ron added.

Cam also spoke on his beef with 50 Cent: “When me and 50 Cent was going on, that s–t was fun. Shout out to my n-gga 50, we good now too. But when 50 dissed me, it started when 50 said Koch Entertainment is the graveyard for a lot of rappers. At the time, Jim Jones had just gone to Koch and Jim Jones is Dipset so we got into a whole argument on the phone. All that s–t to me was just music. Even when 50 and me spoke, he was like, ‘Let’s get to this money.’ When we spoke, we laughed about that s–t. At the time, I went at 50 because he had done a diss track. 50 was putting n-ggas out of business with his diss songs.” You can watch the video below:

Eminem celebrates 16 years of sobriety

Today, on April 20, 2024, iconic Detroit rapper Eminem celebrated 16 years of sobriety and of course we are delighted for him. While it may have seemed that Eminem was on top of the world at some point, he was actually battling a crippling addiction.

Slim Shady has been rather open about his battles and demons in the past, revealing he was once taking up to 30 Vicodin (an opioid that treats severe pain) a day as well as ‘anywhere from 40 to 60 Valium’ (a benzodiazepine that can help people be calm).

During the documentary titled How To Make Money Selling Drugs, Eminem said: “I don’t know at what point exactly it started to be a problem. I just remember liking it more and more. People tried to tell me that I had a problem. I would say, ‘Get that f***ing person outta here’. I’m not out there shooting heroin. I’m not out there f***ing putting coke up my nose. I’m not smoking crack.”

It got a lot worse for the rapper after that though, as he developed insomnia in the early 2000s. Following that, a friend introduced him to Ambien (a medication used to help people sleep), which acted as a gateway to other prescription pills. In 2007, Eminem hit rock bottom as he overdosed on methadone, a moment which was a defining moment in his recovery.

Marshall Mathers opened up about the horrifying experience in the same documentary: “The doctors told me I’d done the equivalent of four bags of heroin… Had I got to the hospital about two hours later, I would have died. My organs were shutting down. My liver, kidneys, everything. They were gonna have to put me on dialysis. They didn’t think I was gonna make it. My bottom was gonna be death.”

Elton John even became a mentor and would check in on him once or twice a week to ensure he was on the straight and narrow. And now, Eminem at the point where he is 16 years sober – well done, Marshall. Check his recent post on social media below:

Devon Sawa says Macaulay Culkin was first choice for Eminem’s “Stan” video

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Devon Sawa looks back over his career to one of the biggest projects he has ever worked on: the iconic 2000 music video for Eminem‘s “Stan,” from The Marshall Mathers LP album and reveals that the first choice for the video was “Home Alone” star Macaulay Culkin.

Vancouver, Canada-born actor has recently sat down with ET, while promoting the 3rd season of the horror TV shows “Chucky,” and he looked back at his past works as part of a career retrospective, and the cultural impact of his performance in the famous music video, playing the titular Stan.

“I will never forget, they told me on the day that I was going to lip-sync it. I remember, after the first take I did, Dre running in and being like, ‘It was good, but can you try it with some rhythm this time?’ And I was like, ‘Oh my god.’ And that was kind of how the day went. But it’s such an iconic video. Dr. Dre was there, D12 was there, I think Snoop was wandering around, Cypress Hill. It was just such a wild three days of filmmaking, it was amazing.” said Devon Sawa.

Then he continued: “They went out to Macaulay Culkin first. I think that they wanted Macaulay Culkin, and he wasn’t available, or didn’t want to do it or whatever. Then Dre, who had just seen Final Destination and was a fan, suggested me. There happened to be somebody in the casting office that knew somebody who was friends with me, and they called me that way… and it ended up working out pretty good.  It’s also one of the proudest things I’ve been a part of.”

It’s been nearly 25 years since the video came out, and Sawa admitted that he still knows the lyrics, and has found himself occasionally singing along. “If it came on in my car or something like that, I would jam along to it,” he said. “I’ll tell you one thing, I know it better now than I did that day. Because I’ve heard it millions of times since.”

Eminem to appear at the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit

Motor City legend Eminem is expected to make an appearance at the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit, set to take place at Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza from April 25th to April 27th.

What is the NFL Draft?
It’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like — it’s when the 32 teams of the NFL choose their newest players from the latest generation of football phenoms.

When is the NFL Draft?
Officially, it starts April 25 at noon and runs through 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 27. But you can find draft-themed attractions and events before and after.

The concerts will be held on the Draft Theater stage and are standing room only, and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

What kind of food will be available at the NFL Draft?
No matter what you like to eat, you will probably be able to find something at the “Taste of the Town” tailgate. A small collection of the many local restaurants featured, according to the NFL

The Game defends Eminem against Dr. Umar comments

The Game has recently sat down with DJ VLAD where the Compton rapper responded to Dr. Umar saying Eminem can’t be one of the greatest rappers of all time because he’s white.

“I don’t agree with Dr. Umar. with him saying that. Eminem is undoubtedly one of the greatest rappers ever for obvious reasons. Again, Michael Jordan probably can’t even f–kin’ dunk from free-throw line today so if we wanna say Eminem’s not great today motherf–kin’ Jordan can’t f–kin’ jump from the free-throw line.” said The Game.

Then he continued: “We all get older but that does not mean we don’t respect or don’t understand the magnitude of what somebody did when they were at their beginning and at their pick. So Eminem is for sure one of the best rappers ever. I don’t give a f–k if he’s white, black or whatever. Dr. Umar seems to be pretty educated and he also has an opinion and a platform. I respect his opinion but I don’t got to f–king agree with it. And I’m not even… I have not seen Eminem in 20 years and we had our little back and forth which is all good. Still it is what it is. I’mma keep it a buck. I’m not gonna lie. Eminem is one of the greatest rappers of all time. You can take this sound and use it against me but I don’t give a f–k. It is what it is.”

“But Eminem respects me at the end of the day. If you ask him and he’s going to be honest, he gonna tell you that he respects me and my pen game. He knows what I’m capable of and that is what it is. Dr. Umar had an opinion and I don’t disrespect it but I don’t agree.” The Game added. You can watch the new interview after the jump below:

Has Ed Sheeran just accidently confirmed another song with Eminem?!

Ed Sheeran has recently sat down with Rohit Sharma and Gaurav Kapur for an interview where at the end of their 40 minutes conversation they talked about Eminem. When Interviewer asked Sheeran to name his favorite artists that he worked with, here is what he replied:

“I really enjoyed collaborating with Beyoncé. I just didn’t expect her to say yes. And Eminem… Eminem is someone that I’ve now worked with four times. He was my hero as a kid. I used to have a stutter and I cured my stutter by listening to Eminem music. I had an opportunity to meet him in 2013. I’ve had some success but not like a lot of success and I had an opportunity to meet him and I let him walk by and I said I don’t wanna meet him because I want him to meet me. I want that to be a moment. And then that came to fruition and now we are actually close. So, Eminem and Beyoncé are two of my favorites to work with.”

Ed Sheeran and Eminem have previously collaborated on three occasions: 1. “River” 2. “Remember The Name” which also features 50 Cent and 3. “Those Kinda Nights”. So, Sheeran either: 1. messed up the counting 2. has another collaboration on the way with Eminem 3. has previously recorded unreleased track with Eminem. 

Out of their three collaborations, “River” is most successful. It reached No. 1 in the United Kingdom, making it Eminem’s 9th No. 1 there and Sheeran’s 5th. It also reached No. 1 in Austria, Norway, Scotland and Sweden as well as the top 10 in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lebanon, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Switzerland, and the top 20 in Belgium and the United States. The song is triple platinum in Australia and double platinum in Denmark, Sweden and United Kingdom. The song is also eligible for 3x platinum in the United States. The song also has more than 820 million streams on Spotify.

Dame Dash plays a race card on Eminem while discussing greatest rappers of all time

Entrepreneur and record executive Dame Dash who co-founded Roc-A-Fella Records along with Jay-Z and Kareem Burke, has recently sat down with Patrick Bet-David on Valuetainment where the two discussed who’s the greatest rapper of all time.

When Patrick asked Dash to rank Notorious B.I.G., 2Pac, André 3000, Nas and Eminem, here is what he replied: “Biggie and Pac died early, André 3000 does not do shows but he could rap. Nas, what about him? Eminem is white and he can rap really well, he can really rap but he is still white.”

He then continued: “If you were to ask about hip-hop out of 10 white people that came in here, would any of them be specialist if they were from that era? probably not, other than Eminem. If you would ask 10 black people from that era like myself about hip-hop, they would know because in that moment, hip-hop was black sport, created by black people so it’s hard to for a black man to say white man is best at anything that’s supposed to be a black sport. You’re not get that from me. I’m a racist. I don’t call it racist cause racist is when you judging a man for his color. I don’t judge a person because of their color of their skin, I judge them because of the color of the soul. I’m racist in  that way.”

Dame Dash served as Jay-Z’s manager and business partner at Roc-A-Fella Records, and in 1999, he organized a tour for Jay-Z which made $19 million. Their relationship soured as a result of two subsequent events. The first was when Roc-A-Fella Records was purchased by Def Jam Recordings (which had previously only owned half of the company) in 2004, after which Jay-Z agreed to take a job as Def Jam’s president. Then, in late 2005, Jay-Z bought Dash out of his stake in Rocawear… Watch the new interview below:

Billie Eilish raps Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” at Coachella party

Billie Eilish was one of the surprise guests at Coachella! The 2024 music and artists festival kicked off its annual two-weekend run in Indio, California, on Friday — and, as expected, this year’s lineup wowed the crowed with electric performances and unexpected appearances on stage. Headliner Lana Del Rey kicked off Coachella weekend with a dreamy hit-filled set that featured songs like “Summertime Sadness” and “Doin’ Time.” This marked Del Rey’s return to the Coachella stage for the first time in a decade — “exactly 10 years ago to the day,” she told the crowd.

Del Rey surprised festivalgoers in more ways than one, between making her way to the Main Stage on motorcycle through the crowd of thousands before welcoming major star power like Billie Eilish to join her in dueting “Video Games” and Ocean Eyes.”

On Saturday Eilish did a surprise DJ set on one of Coachella’s smaller stages called The Do LaB. She previewed a handful of new songs from her new album: “Lunch,” “L’Amour De Ma Vie,” and “Chihiro.” That last one is named after the main character in Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away, and Eilish also teased it during a Zane Lowe interview on Friday. She also danced around with the camera to some of the iconic songs, and one of them was Eminem’s “Lose Yourself.” Check out couple of videos below:

@fresapresa Billie and friends ✨#billieeilish #coachella2024 #coachella #eminemtoktik ♬ original sound – Frida

Billie Eilish shaking her bu-t to an Eminem song is a thing I thought I would never see. Few years back, She said: “I was scared of Eminem. My whole life. Always. I, dude, terrified. That dude freaked the f**k out of me. Oh my God.” And of course, Eminem being Eminem came up with the best response – shouting out Eilish in a verse of one of his tunes. In ‘Alfred’s Theme‘, the lyrics read: “Homicidal visions when I’m spitting like this / But really I’m just fulfilling my wish of killing rhymes which is really childish / And silly, but I’m really like this, I’m giving nightmares to Billie Eilish.” It appears Em helped Eilish stop being so scared of him.
