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:

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.

Lil Uzi Vert sells Eminem-inspired merch at Coachella 2024

Lil Uzi Vert, who performed at Coachella 2024 on Friday night this week, sold merchandise at the mega festival, making a play on words of “their” pronouns as well as “Eminem.” The $40 black t-shirt features the phrase “THEMINEM” across the front. Uzi came out as using they/them pronouns back in summer 2022.

Speaking with 032c magazine, last year, Lil Uzi explained: “No, I never hesitated but I did take my time to learn as much as I could about this before I was able to proceed. Taking the time to figure out who you are is a big part of what it means to be alive. Once you figure out whether you’re here with it, there with it, or both, you’re not alone anymore. This community offers access to a certain kind of support that you might not have had [previously during] your entire life because you weren’t raised that way. I come from a household where it’s not okay to be ‘non’ anything.”

We are not sure why he went with the Eminem-inspired merch cause Lil Uzi seems not to be a fan of Slim Shady. Couple of years ago, during a livestream with Adin Ross, Uzi said: “Eminem is not in my top 5. Who give a f–k about his albums, he sounds like you’re just an eater. Give me Eminem’s best bar that’s not under 2003. You are probably listening to I’m Not Afraid.” Check the merch below:

Azealia Banks lashes out on Eminem & Kendrick Lamar AGAIN

Singer and rapper Azealia Banks, who is well-known of her controversial talks, has recently weighed in on J. Cole apologizing to Kendrick Lamar for a diss record and involved Eminem into her rant on Instagram.

“Ya know, a 4’9″ n-gga who can’t do a push up starting beef with everyone he’s jealous of because of his powerful relatives is very soon going to run out of gas. Kendrick’s relatives are eventually going to become tired of being involved in this girly a-s drama. Next time Kendrick pulls one of these, please ask him to come outside. Threatening people’s lives while preaching that all that black royalty s–t is bogus.” said Azealia Banks.

The she continued: “Not to mention, there are slew of white ghostwriters, literally penning these songs about the “black struggle” for Kendrick and tons of other rap n-ggas. Kendrick’s place in the grand scheme is to transform the devastating realities of life in black America from hard foot into a puree for toothless white consumers to feel good about themselves and and like they have made a change because they bought the Kendrick Lamar CD. I’m sorry. I really can’t believe the industry gave me such a hard time for expressing my opinion while these rap n-ggas literally have the girliest beef ever. Like, why don’t you n-ggas figure out who is literally hunting you all and and figure out how the f–k to stay alive instead of this bulls–t. And Kendrick, make some a-s shakers, for f–ks sake, you’ve been short and angry for a decade.”

“You too Eminem… White Male rage has no place in hip-hop. Make an a-s shaker dammit. Eminem really makes school shooter music. We don’t care about your battle with drugs. Sober people got hit by cars too. Like, how did hip-hop really let this white dude get away with lyrics about fantasizing about killing his mother. Like… No. Em belongs in the psych ward. I can’t beleive we s–tted on Vanilla Ice (who is actually swagged the f–k out) to accept Eminem’s weird a-s.” Azealia Banks added.

This is not the first time Azealia attacked Eminem. She went at Eminem in few other occasions. Couple of years ago, she said on Instagram: “Eminem always been annoying and garbage. I can’t, won’t and refuse to consume white male anger in rap form. I’m picking Paul Wall and Bubba Sparxxx over Eminem ANYDAY. Can we also make Eminem’s glorified white male rage a factor in what influences white school shooters lmao… We love to blame black parents and black stars for *what’s wrong with our youth* but really let Em write whole songs about wanting to murder his own mother. We really should blame Eminem for everything.”

Bubba Sparxxx talks first time meeting Eminem

Bubba Sparxxx has recently sat down on BHighTV with Princess of Crime Mob and the rest of the crew where LaGrange, Georgia-born hip-hop artist recalled first time meeting Eminem at the Anger Management tour and almost giving up after hearing “My Name Is.”

“I’d like to talk to him [Eminem] now. I believe I will soon. I really want to do a record with Eminem in the next 365 days. That’s a challenge. I did meet Eminem in 2003, I believe it was the Anger Management tour. Just to set the scene: Everybody was there 50 is there, Andre is there, T.I. is there and Bizarre said ‘he want to talk with you’ like I was first [laughs]. This is the height of the beef with Ja Rule and all them.” said Bubba Sparxxx.

Then he continued: “First of all, two layers of presidential security so we go through the security, we get back there and Eminem is playing ‘Hail Mary’, so I walked in, waits till the song finishes and he said one of the most complimentary things anybody has ever said to me and it took me a days to really put it in perspective and understand exactly what he was saying. He said, I got nothing but good things to say about you. I said that’s mutual man, I really appreciate it bla bla bla. He said ‘look, I don’t know, if there had never been me, maybe you would have made it, but you deserved to make it whether there was ever me or not.’ Something like that. I forgot the exact words.”

“He said in the way where he kind have messed up for the rest of the night cause I was like ‘what is he saying though?!’ I didn’t feel like it was disrespectful but…The day I first saw Hi My Name Is, I went into deep depression man cause at that time it kinda looked like they ain’t gonna let another white boy. This white boy was perfect and he had Dr. Dre?! What?! I was like ‘well, f–k it.'” Bubba Sparxxx added. You can watch the interview below:

Busta Rhymes shows massive love to Eminem

In the recent episode of ALL THE SMOKE, Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson are joined by hip-hop icon, actor, producer, and one of the leaders of rap’s ‘golden age’, Busta Rhymes, for a tell-all sit down about his life and career. Busta shares incredible untold stories about Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z and Tupac, discusses the origins of speed rapping, reflects on his most iconic songs and details his health journey. Plus, working with Janet Jackson and Mariah Carrey. At one point of the interview, he showed massive love to Eminem.

“I’mma keep it a buck. I don’t think nobody could f–k with Eminem. I’m sorry, Dr. Umar stop it. You wildin’ son. And there is a lot of s–t that Dr. Umar says that I agree with but this is one particular one where you way off the kilt bro. Eminem is the truth bro.” said Busta Rhymes.

Then he continued: “I got a song coming out with an artist that I had to address about his testimonial and opinion on Eminem too. I had to check him on his own song in rhyme form. So y’all stay tuned for that. I’m huge fan of the artist that I made a record with… Now that being said, Kendrick is my favorite, Eminem is my favorite, Talib Kweli, Luda’s one of my faovrites. Smino, JID, J. Cole, Drake, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross. I got way too many favorites. Rakim is is one o my favorites, Kane, Slick Rick, KRS-1, Chuck D.

“Eminem brings best out of me. I did a song with Eminem called ‘Calm Down.’ I sent him 16 bars. He sent me back 48. You are not doing that to me on my own record. I sent back 54 bars. He sends me back 62. I sent back 68. Who we making a song at this point? We ain’t making a song for consumer. We just battling on a record for seven minutes. They ain’t playing it in the club. They are not going to play it in the radio. We might get satellite radio spins. We might gt some motherf–king blogs talking about this because it’s an eventful moment. But we turned a record that could have been a radio joint into me and you straight straight raw hip-hop. ‘F–k the rules’ moment. Because we love it so much. That the competitive nature we both have forced us to bring the best out of each other. Only dudes like that can cause me to be this way. So I love Em, I love Kendrick and I love Talib Kweli.” Busta Rhymes added.

Eminem VS Busta Rhymes – The Drink Champs Edition

In one of the recent episodes of Drink Champs, The D.O.C. sits down with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN to discuss his monumental impact on hip-hop. From his early days with N.W.A. and discovering Snoop Dogg to surviving a life-altering accident, The D.O.C. shares his incredible journey in the music industry. He also dives into his close relationship with Dr. Dre, the making of his upcoming documentary, and his dedication to the craft of writing. This is an interview you don’t want to miss, as The D.O.C. offers a rare glimpse into the mind of a true hip-hop legend. At one point of the interview, The D.O.C. played a traditional Quicktime With Slime game, where the hosts ask the guest to choose between two artists or subjects and if he/she can’t answer, then she/he drinks a shot.

When N.O.R.E. asked The D.O.C. to choose between Eminem and Busta Rhyme, here is what he replied: “Both of these guys are my guys.” He did not answer the question…I went a head and compiled every video where the hosts asks their guests Eminem VS Busta Rhymes. You can check it out below.

WIZ KHALIFA: Busta Rhymes for sure. Lyricism is up there but Busta be like ‘I’ll kill that n-gga!’ Busta inspired me a lot, man. You might not see it in my style but just being animated, being more goofy and more silly, just being myself. He’s great on stage. I’ve always loved fast rappers. That’s always been one of my favorite things growing up.

AKON: It depends. These are two different lanes. You can’t compare these two. I gotta go with both.

T.I.: I’mma go Busta Rhymes. Not because I don’t have enormous respect and admiration for Em but but Bus has always been one of the brothers to me. Em to me though, he don’t have to f–k with nobody but he still does so I gotta show admiration to Em and salute him for that.

Daylyt blames Eminem for mumble rap rise

About 3 months ago, during one of the episodes of Last Second Sea, one of the best battle rappers Daylyt gave one of the weirdest compliment to Eminem I’ve ever heard.

While reacting to one of the Loaded Lux’s bars during the battle against Hollow Da Don, Daylyt said: “This is better than all of y’all careers, everyone. Everybody that has battled in the past XYZ amount of years why y’all try to do this?”

He continued: “I remember I was talking to somebody about when Eminem first popped up in rap. And Eminem is the reason mumble rap exists. Eminem rapped that a level of so high that everybody just gave up. It was like ‘you know what? we will never get there. Let’s just go backwards. And that’s what happens to battle rap. This is the highest level, why n-ggas don’t try to be better than this. N-ggas just go like ‘you know what? I’mma just go that way. This is crazy man.”

Daylyt has established himself as an innovative and key figure in both the music and creative industries over the years. He applies his unique style and personality to everything he does and in the process leaves audiences in astonishment, always wanting to know what he’ll do next and how he’ll do it.

Channeling his energy towards art has been massively important for Daylyt. After growing up in a tough area of Los Angeles he felt it was important to surround himself with a loyal team of people who all share the fundamental values of commitment and professionalism in order to achieve a common goal. This creative and professional outlook has led to an impressive photography career, with his remarkable work encompassing a new era we are entering of freedom, empowerment, sexuality and most importantly, artistic expression, using professional, prominent fashion looks…Check out the interview below:

Wallie the Sensei describes witnessing Eminem, Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg in recent studio session

Wallie the Sensei emerged as the new face of Compton hip-hop with his 2020 single “Scandalous,” where he offsets grim gangsta narratives with silky-smooth production and an elastic, irresistibly melodic flow. He has recently sat down with Bootleg Kev where he described meeting Eminem and Snoop Dogg in Dr. Dre’s house and witnessing the three hip-hop titans recording couple of tracks together.

“I just f–king met Eminem, Dr. Dre and Snoop. I went to Dre house for a day and I got to sit in the session and watch them work. Bro, that was the dopest s–t I’ve ever seen. When I met Em, he was like ‘Marshall’, I’m like, bro, I know who you are. You are one of the best rappers ever.” said Wallie the Sensei.

Then he continued: “Now I understand why they call Dre Dr. Dre. The s–t that he do in the studio he really doctor them songs. He might be the coldest to ever do it. How did I get the invite? One of my homies is related to Dre and since I got s–t buzzing, he was like ‘I gotta get you over there’. Dre’s house is co comfortable I fell asleep for hours.”

“That s–t was cold. They were working on the last couple songs of and album, I don’t know if it was for Snoop album? But Dre was really particular with these bars and s–t. When he got his star, Snoop gave a speech and said Dre still makes him do very line thousand motherf–king time, he was not cappnig. All of them are legends, Snoop, Em, Dre. I’m so grateful to be on that session and hopefully one day I can be like them. Me being there led me to meet dopest producer in the f–king world, Dem Jointz. Bro he cold. Ain’t nothing that dude can’t do.” Wallie the Sensei added. You can watch the interview below:

Jake Bass teases Linkin Park & Eminem collaboration

Jake Bass, who has recently became a touring member of D12, playing guitar with them internationally, tweeted a picture of himself in the studio with Draven Sebastian Bennington, a son of lead vocalist of Linkin Park, late Chester Bennington, who is also a musician, dropping his debut single last year.

In the caption, Jake Bass wrote: “When two worlds collide… 2nd Generation!!! Y’all ain’t ready for this music!!! @dravenbstudios @linkinpark @eminem #DravenBennington #JakeBass #LinkinPark #Eminem #BocaJMusic #BassmentSounds,” hinting on Linkin Park and Eminem collaboration song? Or maybe a remix or something?

Last year, Draven Bennington also posted a picture with Jake Bass, who is a son of Jeff Bass of Bass Brothers, with the caption: “There are no amount of words to express how amazing last week was! I’m still buzzing off all the energy! Thank you so much @mrjakebass @fbt_studios for taking me in open arms and letting me make magic with you guys! I can’t wait to come back out there soon! Motown here we come! Also thank you so much to the amazing artists @lazdetroit and @aproposmusic you guys are so supportive and helpful and make me feel right at home in the studio! I can’t wait to see what we collab on!”

One fan on X commented: “Eminem // Linkin Park collab ????? Granted this would’ve been way bigger in like 2004 I’m still excited for that mashup.” Another said: “It’s crazy cause Linkin Park and Eminem are my all time favourites. Meteora is actually my fav album ever.” Someone on reddit said: “Teenage me would s–t a brick.” Another said: “Please delete this whole thread. Lol. As a LP fan, it is most definitely Chester’s son and he is an awful artist who has been trying get some clout for his s–tty songs by dragging his dad or Linkin Park’s name into it. His mom is Chester’s ex-wife who sued Chester’s estate for child support and royalties like 3 months after he died. Draven here hates the rest of Chester’s family and the rest of Linkin Park as well. He’s 21 now so he can take the heat.” Someone replied: “After a quick mental breakdown I realized Jake is just clout chasing and worked on some music with Chester’s son 🙁 Nothing to do with Em or LP.”

Couple of months ago, Linkin Park’s co-lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, keyboardist, primary songwriter and producer Mike Shinoda talked about possible Eminem collaboration during his question and answer session on Twitch: “Am I gonna collab with Eminem? Probably not. I think Eminem is incredible but it’s not on to-do list. Do I want to battle Eminem? You mean imagine me like a toddler getting blown up by a nuclear weapon? Eminem is the greatest freestyle rapper, greatest battle rapper of all time. I don’t give a s–t what anybody says.”

In November 2016, Jake and F.B.T. Productions co-produced and performed the instrumentation on the 20th anniversary remix of Eminem’s 1996 debut single “Infinite”, and produced the mini-documentary Partners In Rhyme: The True Story of Infinite. The single, available for the first time digitally, entered Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales chart at No. 9 with 28,000 downloads sold in its first week. The remix also entered the Digital Song Sales chart at No. 21, the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart at No. 37, the Spotify Viral 50 chart at No. 47 and The Hot 100 at No. 97.

GloRilla lists her Mount Rushmore of rappers

Memphis, Tennessee rapper GloRilla reveals her Mount Rushmore of emcees in the latest episode of the Club Shay Shay podcast with Shannon Sharpe. On Wednesday (April 3, 2024), the Club Shay Shay podcast aired its new episode on their official YouTube channel featuring GloRilla. During the conversation, a member of 2023 XXL Freshman Class discussed her latest hit song “Yeah Glo!” and her journey from Memphis to the music industry limelight. She opened up about her new album, navigating the balance between confidence and self-consciousness, and the influence of Yo Gotti’s mentorship on her career trajectory after signing to his Memphis based label, CMG.

GloRilla also reflected on how haters fuel her determination and reveals her strategy for handling criticism with the support of friends and family. From Michael Jackson to Katt Williams, GloRilla dives into the commercial expectations of the entertainment industry while sharing anecdotes about meeting LeBron James and her admiration for Kobe Bryant. She candidly discussed her love for the Pittsburgh Steelers and why Shannon was once an opp of hers, the ideal first date, and her unique family dynamics, including her supposed cousins Lil Uzi Vert, Cardi B, and Tiger Woods. GloRilla’s upbringing with 10 siblings was much different than most, and she dived into her mother’s extremely religious background and why she was never allowed to have friends over as a child.

From her Top 5 rappers of all time to who she wants to collaborate most with in the music industry, GloRilla shares all of her feelings for the music industry. From her failed experiment as a weed dealer to working numerous odd jobs to becoming one of the hottest names in the rap game, GloRilla’s journey is filled with humor, heart, and a raw authenticity that shines through in every story she shares on this episode of Club Shay Shay.

At one point of the interview, she revealed her rap Mount Rushmore: “I’m only 24 so I can’t say rappers that were before me because I don’t know their music. So, Imma say Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne is one of the best rappers in the whole world. Imma say Lil Wayne, Drake, Eminem and Jay-Z.” said GloRilla. Watch the new interview below:

Joyner Lucas talks how Atlantic Records didn’t care about him shooting a video with Eminem

Joyner Lucas and Dhruv Joshi have recently sat down with Math Hoffa and the crew on My Expert Opinion podcast where the two talked about many topics, including Atlantic Records not backing them up to shoot the video of “Lucky You” with Eminem in Detroit.

“I tried to get the first class flight to shoot the video of Lucky You with Eminem in Detroit. They told me no. Label told me no. [That’s a single. That’s top 3 record on Billboard. He about to shoot the video with Em] Nothing they did. I built the relationship with Royce by myself. Shout out to my brother Royce. I built the relationship directly with Royce and then we went through Marshall and I built my own relationship with him in which we did the record and I had to go to Detroit to shoot the video. I had asked Atlantic if they could pay for the first class cause again, I’m not making money at that time. I took $100,000 in advance from my deal in 2016. I shoot that video in 2018. [So that $100k is gone bro. It’s two years].” said Joyner Lucas.

Then he continued: “First thing I did with $100k, I retired my mom. I gave her half. We got pay cut and it ended up like $60k and $30k I gave to my mom to quit a job. Apart from that, I asked Atlantic if they could pay for the first class flight and they told me no. Not a private jet or something. Just a first class flight to Detroit. How much is that? $800? $700? Them n-ggas would not pay for my first class flight so I said ‘Dhruv, we gotta get the f–k off this label bro.’ They did not give a f–k I was doing a video with Em.”

The official video of “Lucky You,” directed by James Larese, was released on September 13, 2018. In the video, it follows Eminem and Lucas in combat vests and pants strolling throughout the ruins of a city. It includes wrecked cars and abandoned buildings. Throughout the video, multiple hooded men with black sweatshirts appear to be “copying” whatever the rappers are doing. This is supposed to be a shot at the new generation of rappers copying what the bigger artists are doing. One scene includes them performing random dances, which the hooded men copied. In the middle of Eminem’s verse, a gunshot from the original track goes off, sending the hooded men into the sky. The video ends with the two rappers walking away from the swarm.

“Lucky You” is one of the most successful singles for Joyner Lucas as it debut at No. 6 on US Billboard Hot 100 and entered into the Top 10 charts in 20 different countries. The song went triple platinum in the United States and platinum in the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia. The song was nominated at the 2019 Grammy Awards in the Best Rap Song category.

Grandmaster Caz shares his thoughts on Melle Mel’s Eminem diss

Grandmaster Caz has recently sat down with Sean Bigga on The Bigga Picture podcast where he shared his opinion on the recent controversy sparked by Melle Mel’s diss towards Eminem: “He did not consult with me as far as Eminem thing. I didn’t really ask him too much. He did not really never take it that serious. He was like ‘I bust Eminem’s a-s’ and I’m like ‘okay, you supposed to believe that.’ But as far as him actually doing the answer, I did not know he was going to respond to it. First of all, Em was responding to him. Mel was like ‘F–k, chill what, n-gga? That’s my opinion.’ And everybody else out here giving their opinions, saying whatever they wanna say, how the f–k you gonna tell Melle Mel he can’t sway what he wanna say? I backed him up on that.” said Grandmaster Caz.

Then he continued: “Now as far as response [laughs], I wish you would holla at me. I respect Melle Mel to the fullest. Lyrically, he’s the only person that I ever thought I had to be better than. Everybody else, I thought I was better than them. Like I said, I didn’t get the opportunity to see what he was going to do. It just came out. Even if I heard it, I could not say ‘nah, that’s whack’ but yeah, I probably would have. I would have to say that cause that’s my dude. I have no doubt that if he took his time and then come up with some s–t, n-ggas be like ‘Oh s–t!’ But he just did something real quick and put it out there and it was not flattering to him. You don’t respond to Eminem like that. Especially if you saying that you are going to bust his a-s.”

“If that was me, it would have been different. I’m not saying I’d bust Eminem’s a-s but I would went as hard as I could possibly go to get that n-gga. And then if he got me after that, yo, you got it! But I already respect Eminem as a lyricist. I wouldn’t even question him being nice or whether I’m better than him or not. There are a lot of n-ggas that’s better than me. You better be better than me motherf–ker! I drew you a blueprint. How the f–k you are not better than me, you’ve been hearing me ever since you started this s–t. You’ve been hearing everybody that I influenced ever since this s–t started. I’m about to be 64 years old and if I get on this mic and bust your a-s, you need your a-s whooped!”

“I think the apology was for the weak s–t that he did. Not for going at him. I think he was not apologizing for his opinion on Eminem. I think his opinion stays the same. He really believes that Em is touted the way he is because he’s a white rapper and that makes him even more accomplished at a black thing which hip-hop proposed to be. I’ve always accepted Em as a dope a-s f–king lyricist. His flows… If you can do something that I can’t do, n-gga, I applaud you.”

“MC Serch could not do what Eminem did. He’s dope but he just fits into the fabric. Em looked too white. They called him a w-gger because he was doing black things but he looked like a white person. Serch got his jewelry on. He got haircut like black people and s–t like that and white people didn’t want him. This n-gga right here [Eminem] is quintessential white hope for rap. All he gotta do is be good. He just excelled and was just more than good. He paid his dues in hip-hop. He is not industry plant. This n-gga comes from the street. He comes from Detroit. He comes from the circle of n-ggas who did this street s–t, mixtapes, all that s–t, he paid his dues.” Grandmaster Caz added. Watch the interview below:
