Eminem drops lyrics video of his JID assisted song “Fuel”

“Fuel,” produced by Eminem and Denaun, is the 9th track on Eminem’s 12th solo studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), featuring East Atlanta rapper, JID who appeared in the music video for Eminem’s “Doomsday Pt. 2” earlier this year.

This high-octane collaboration sees the two rappers asserting their dominance in the rap game and their refusal to be silenced. JID sets the tone for the song with an opening verse that establishes his street credibility through references to the struggles and violence prevalent in his hometown.

Eminem follows with a verse that taunts his critics and doubters, weaving in contemporary references such as the Kyle Rittenhouse case, Halyna Hutchins’ accidental death on set by Alec Baldwin, and sexual assault allegations against Diddy, as well as his alleged involvement in the death of Tupac.

“Fuel” marks the first collaboration between Eminem and JID. The song debuted at #21 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the chart week ending July 27, 2024. It marks JID’s first appearance on the chart in 2024. Em just released the lyrics video of the song, starting speculations that the actual music video also dropping, making it the 5th single off TDOSS.

A remix of the song, featuring Shady Records signees Westside Boogie and Grip, as well as a new verse from Eminem, was released on September 13, 2024 as part of the Expanded Mourner’s Edition deluxe edition, subtitled “Shady Edition”, without JID’s vocals, later released as a promotional single.

Ab-Soul pays homage to Eminem on new album

West-coast’s finest Ab-Soul has always been a mercurial presence, and when he fully locks in, he’s an absolute beast. On his new album Soul Burger, Ab-Soul goes absolutely nuts.

Soul Burger follows Herbert, the album that Ab-Soul released two years ago. It also follows some big moments this summer — Ab-Soul reuniting with his old Black Hippy comrades at Kendrick Lamar’s Pop Out concert and in his “Not Like Us” video. In recent months, Ab-Soul has released weeks like “Squeeze 1st 2” and the JID collab “Crazier.” He only announced the release of Soul Burger last week, but the album is here now. It’s a full-length tribute to Ab-Soul’s late friend DoeBurger.

Soul Burger opens with “9 Mile” track, an allusion to the first scene from the movie Belly, and it’s an appropriately epic intro where he interpolates Eminem‘s 8 Mile: B-Rabbit vs Papa Doc scene. The rest of the LP has plenty of big-name guests, including Vince Staples, Doechii, Lupe Fiasco, Ty Dolla $ign, JasonMartin, Blxst, and Punch. The late DoeBurger makes an appearance, too. ScHoolboy Q doesn’t rap on the album, but he contributes production, as do people like 9th Wonder, Terrace Martin, and Beat Butcha.

In the first verse of the second part of the song, Soulo raps: “I am broke, I am on f–king drugs / Don’t owe s–t, I’m paying rent but my babies mom / I take a 7.62 for Top Dawg / I did jump off a bridge on Del Amo Boulevard / I’m blessed but question why God would have mercy on a junkie / Biggest lie I ever told was that it ain’t about the money / Hopped out the rabbit hole but now I’m really trippin’ / I’m still standing here screaming “F–k the whole system” / Couldn’t care any less if you judge me b–ch / You don’t know what the f–k I did for this s–t / And I don’t know much, but I do know this / I got the game in a headlock, I’m like Draymond / Yo, you think you f–kin’ with the squad just a little bit? (No!) / Dream on, and then apply for your Nembership.”

This, as well as the title of the track is in reference Eminem’s “8 Mile” movie. The first line is a direct reference to a line said by B-Rabbit “I am white, I am a f–king bum, I do live in a trailer with my mom.” Next lines are also reference to Eminem’s lines: ““I’m still standin’ here screaming, “F–k the Free World!” / Don’t ever try to judge me, dude / You don’t know what the f–k I’ve been through / But I know something about you…” Ab-Soul practically rapped his version of entire B-Rabbit’s verse in the final battle of 8 Mile against Papa Doc. You can listen to the song below:

Ab-Soul shouts out Eminem on new Radar Radio freestyle

Ab-Soul has likened himself to one of Hip Hop’s greatest MCs while freestyling over a beat from another all-time great.

Ahead of the release of his new album Soul Burger (which was released on November 8, 2024), the TDE rapper stepped into the booth for his first appearance on On the Radar Radio‘s popular freestyle series.

Spitting slick bars over JAY-Z‘s bouncy “Squeeze 1st” instrumental, Soulo boldly compared himself to Eminem, rapping: “Get ready for the coup de grâce, who am I? / Marshall Mathers with melanin / Kept it G even when I’m embellishing.”

The Black Lip Pastor also made references to J. Cole, Kirk Franklin, Banksy and TDE labelmate Doechii before putting his spin on a few bars from the original Hov track: “Thou shalt not f–k with raw me / Or he face a thousand deaths / From Mr. Herbert Anthony / Stevens, IV full of potent dope / Not a Cuban cigar maker but I need all of the smoke.”

“Squeeze 1st” was a fitting beat choice from Ab-Soul given Soul Burger features a song called “Squeeze 1st 2,” which nods to the Dynasty: Roc La Familia cut but has a very different beat. Watch the freestyle below.

Eminem to appear Adam Sandler’s new movie “Happy Gilmore 2”

EMINEM has filmed a secret cameo on Adam Sandler’s upcoming movie “Happy Gilmore 2” and impressed the cast with his “great comedic acting skills,” reports The Sun magazine.

A source exclusively revealed to The U.S. Sun that Slim Shady was on the New Jersey set for the highly anticipated flick on Tuesday to film his top-secret scenes.

“Em is a big fan of the original movie, and he was a total pleasure to work with. He was just super low key, he didn’t have a big entourage, and was just an absolute delight on set. He was very easygoing and was fine with all the takes.” said the insider.

The source then continued: “He has good comedic acting skills. He’s playing a comedic role and he really had fun with it. He flew in just for this the night before and left the following night. It was a one-day shoot.”

It’s actually an onscreen reunion of sorts for Eminem and Adam, who appeared together in the 2009 film, titled Funny People. Meanwhile, Eminem is far from the only major star to have appeared in the sequel to the iconic 1996 golf comedy as Travis Kelce and maybe Taylor Swift are also rumored to appear. The movie is expected to be released on Netflix sometime in 2025.

Snoop Dogg talks about Eminem and their new song

Shortly after announcing the star-studded tracklist for his much-anticipated upcoming album “Missionary,” Snoop Dogg has given a bit of insight into how a few of the standout records will sound.

On Friday, the west-coast legend was on hand in New York City’s Times Square to give a surprise performance to launch “Fortnite” Chapter 2 remix, which features contributions from Snoop, Ice Spice, Eminem and the late rapper Juice WRLD’s estate. During an interview with Variety, shortly after he wrapped the performance, Snoop shared that he anticipated two of the album’s tracks — “Last Dance With Mary Jane” featuring Jelly Roll and Tom Petty, and “Gunz n Smoke” featuring 50 Cent and Eminem — may potentially be featured in the new “Fortnite” rollout.

“Well, Tom Petty is a weed song, so I don’t know if they’re going to let that one in. But the 50 Cent Eminem song is a real street record that sounds like it’s supposed to be in this game with all the different things that I’m seeing. Especially in my maps, so it fits perfectly with the things I’m doing.” said Snoop Dogg.

Snoop also acknowledged that Eminem is included in the new “Fortnite” campaign and looks forward to aligning with his longtime associate whenever possible: “That’s Slim Shady, that’s my guy! That’s my Libra gang partner. So we like to do as many things we can do together, we like to do because we’re family. So I was glad to see he was part of this as well.”

Snoop Dogg reveals tracklist of “Missionary” album, prod by Dr. Dre

Snoop Dogg has finally announced the release date for his much anticipated new album “Missionary,” produced entirely by the one and only Dr. Dre.

“Missionary,” which is being billed as the sequel to Snoop’s 1993 debut “Doggystyle,” is set for release on December 13, 2024. It marks the first full-length collaboration between Dre and Snoop since “Doggystyle.”

The rap icon made the announcement with a promotional video on social media where two Mormon missionaries knock on a stranger’s door, only to be met with a woman in full lingerie who tells them, “What the f–k? Your ad said you were dedicated to missionary work.”

Snoop first mentioned the album back in 2022, when he said that it would be done that November. He billed it as a “30th anniversary to ‘Doggystyle,’” which Dr. Dre produced in full. That album became the fastest-selling hip-hop album ever at the time, and has since been hailed as one of the best rap records of all-time.

Today, the tracklist and features were was unveiled. Eminem and 50 Cent appear together on a track called “Gunz N Smoke,” which is, of course, produced by Dr. Dre. You can check the full tracklist and features below.

Canibus talks about Eminem in a new interview with Van Styles

On the Episode 30 of Big Dookie Chain Podcast, Canibus, who was an unique talents in hip-hop when lyrics meant everything, sat down with Van Styles after a show in Connecticut and talked about hip-hop from a perspective only Canibus can.

He gets into how he started in music, what coming into the game in the super competitive golden age was like and being someone who “tried to hard and loved the game too much.” He spoke about his multiple beefs and looking back what he might have done different. He also talked about Wyclef Jean and LL Cool J.

At one point of the interview, Canibus talked about Eminem too: “I don’t take it serious anymore. I’m half of century years old… It’s not cool to diss Eminem. Everybody who has ever dissed him knows that it’s not cool to diss Eminem. Because of the different things. Not blackballed or somebody making a phone-call. It’s just, if you threaten something, or you posed to threaten something or you posturing or threatening something that so many people love, then you inadvertently put yourself in the seat [where there is no empathy] and Benzino was talking about that. Benzino is a hardcore dude and it came out of his mouth. He’s the real one.”

Jameis Winston talks how Eminem’s song inspired him in life

The Cleveland Browns provided one of the biggest surprises of the Week 8 Sunday slate with their win over division rival Baltimore and Jameis Winston played big role in it. That victory snapped the Browns’ five-game losing streak and ended the Ravens’ five-game winning streak.

Cleveland had their best offensive performance of the season behind backup quarterback Jameis Winston. He completed 27 of 41 passes for 334 yards and three touchdowns, including the go-ahead touchdown to Cedric Tillman in the game’s final minute.

After the game, Winston quoted Eminem when asked about getting his first start since 2022: “There’s a white boy from Detroit that I really admire named Eminem. He said, ‘You only get one shot. Do not miss your chance to blow. This opportunity lasts once in a lifetime.'”

Winston nearly had that part of the chorus to Eminem’s song “Lose Yourself” perfectly correct. Except the final line is, “This opportunity comes once in a lifetime,” but Winston got the point across. You can watch the interview below:

Will the real Joe Hendry please stand up?!

Before he made his way to the ring at TNA Bound For Glory in Detroit, Michigan, a video package aired for Joe Hendry with the musical track being inspired by Eminem’s magnum opus single, “Lose Yourself.”

Hendry then stood at the top of the ramp in overalls and a Jason mask, revving a chainsaw. The persona was a tribute to Eminem’s Slim Shady persona from late ’90s and early ’00s.

Hendry previously invited Eminem to attend the event but it seems Marshall Mathers didn’t receive the invitation. Hendry challenged Nic Nemeth for the TNA World Title in the co-main event of TNA Bound For Glory. Watch the video below.
