Watch Eminem segment in “Bye Bye Barry” documentary

Detroit legend Eminem appears in the latest Amazon Prime Video’s documentary “Bye Bye Barry” about former American football player Barry Sanders, a running back who played for the Detroit Lions of the National Football League for 10 seasons.

Sanders led the league in rushing yards four times and in rushing touchdowns once, establishing himself as one of the most elusive runners in the history of the NFL with his quickness and agility, despite being only 5 ft 8 in tall and weighing 203 lbs.

In 1997, Barry Sanders rushed for 2,053 yards in the regular season and was awarded the NFL Most Valuable Player Award (MVP), alongside his second NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award. While still performing at a high level, Sanders unexpectedly retired from professional football in 1999, at the age of 31, and 1,457 yards short of breaking the NFL’s then all-time rushing record held by Walter Payton. He cited the Lions’ front office and declining team production as reasons for his retirement.

In one of the segment of the documentary, Eminem says: “I’ve seen every documentary on Barry Sanders that there is to see and I never walked away feeling like I knew why he walked away. Still to this day, everybody talks about he is the greatest running back that ever played the game and I know that he walked away at a time when he could have broken every single record there ever was and ever will be. So, why did he walk away?!” while his “Cinderella Man,” song from Recovery (2010) album playing in the background.

Then continued: “It just made him so much more likable that fact that he was that good, I’ve never seen somebody be that good in something and be so humble.”

Eminem reacts to Detroit Lion’s comeback win over Chicago Bears

With the Detroit Lions’ thrilling come-from-behind victory over the Chicago Bears, they have now moved to 8-2 on the season. As it currently stands, it is the second-best record in the NFL, only behind the 8-1 Philadelphia Eagles.

This is also a stunning landmark for the Lions franchise. The last time they were 8-2 was in 1962, four seasons before the very first Super Bowl. That’s 61 years since the Lions have started out with such an impressive record through 10 games. Combined with the team’s 8-2 finish to last season, the Lions have now won a remarkable 16 of their last 20 games.

If you’re wondering what happened back in 1962 when the Lions started 8-2, the Lions finished with an 11-3 record—behind the Green Bay Packers’ 13-1 season (the one loss coming to Detroit in the finale—AKA the Thanksgiving Day Massacre.) The Lions would end up winning the third-place game, beating the Steelers 17-10 for a 12-3 finish to the season.

This year, the sky is the limit for the Lions. While that was not anywhere near a good game against the Bears, it shows the tenacity of this team and their ability to make big plays in big moments. They will look to move to 9-2 in just a few days against the Green Bay Packers, who are coming off a fourth-quarter comeback win of their own.

It’s seems Detroit legend Eminem was also impressed with the win. “I can’t f–king believe it!!!!!! Incredible!!!!!! @Lions thank you for the heart attack!!! Let’s f–king goooooooooooo!!!!” wrote Eminem on X. Check the post below:

O’Shea Jackson Jr. says Eminem has most iconic opening line in history

Ice Cube’s son O’Shea Jackson Jr., best known for portraying his father in his feature film debut, Straight Outta Compton, has recently gave a shout out to Eminem on X.

Straight Outta Compton is a 2015 American biographical drama film directed by F. Gary Gray, depicting the rise and fall of the hip hop group N.W.A and its members Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, MC Ren, and DJ Yella.

One of the fans on Elon Mask’s social media asked what is the most iconic first line of a rap song, on which, California-born rapper and actor replied: ““Y’all act like you never seen a white person before.” – @Eminem.”

O’Shea Jackson Jr., also known by the stage name OMG, is referring to the opening line of Eminem’s 2000 hit song “The Real Slim Shady,” from The Marshall Mathers LP album: “Y’all act like you never seen a white person before / Jaws all on the floor like Pam, like Tommy just burst in the door…”

One user responded: “And your daddy is Ice…never mind.” On that, O’Shea commented: “That Eminem line is hilarious to me. It’s ok. Also everyone expects me to pick my dad with every rap question. So sometimes I like to switch it up to give my life variety.”

This is not the first time O’Shea Jackson Jr. is showing love to Eminem. Below is the timeline of him expressing admiration to Slim Shady over the years.

Danny Brown says it’s hard to work with Eminem

Danny Brown has just released new album, titled Quaranta. It marks his sixth and final album released on Warp Records, with future releases being handled through his own label Bruiser Brigade Records.

To promote the album, The Detroit rapper sat down with Vulture magazine for an exclusive interview where he briefly talked about Eminem.

Interviewer: I have been thinking a lot about “Detroit vs. Everybody,” which features you and Eminem. Is there a relationship there? I feel like we should have had a long history of collaborations.

Danny Brown: I would love that. I only met him one time. It is kind of hard to work with him, I feel. He has got his small circle, and that is all he f–ks with. You can not blame him.

For the full interview, visit Vulture here.

Few months ago, Danny Brown talked about Eminem and how Slim Shady influenced his style on his Danny Brown Show with Logic. “I think Eminem is having a blast. That’s really what I think. Of course he can quit tomorrow and his legacy is still stamped. But he’s still out here like ‘f–k that, coffee pot.’ He’s still out here like ‘I’mma do what I wanna do, I don’t give a f–k.” I’m pretty sure he knows motherf–kers joking on him and this and that but it’s a fact that he don’t give a f–k. He still keep going. He’s still busting bars. I appreciate that more than anything. People look at this s–t like a young man game and this and that but nah man, let him rock. What if he was caught in the moment of like ‘I gotta make s–t that you all motherf–kers to like.’ I think he’s making s–t that he enjoys. And I feel like he probably was doing that s–t at one point of time in his career where he was like ‘I gotta make a hit song, I gotta do this and that.’ It’s Em. He got a legion of f–king followers. I actually had a pleasure to open for him few times. My biggest show I ever played. F–king Wembley Stadium with Eminem and it was f–king amazing. I can’t never say nothing bad about Eminem. And I got a lot of my style from him. To be honest.” Danny said.

Francis Lawrence talks Eminem & Coryo comparisons in the new Hunger Games movie

The latest instalment in The Hunger Games movie franchise is arriving on November 17, 2023.

The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes sees Tom Blyth and Rachel Zegler step into the lead roles of a young Coriolanus Snow and his mentee, District 12 tribute Lucy Gray Baird.

The latest release of The Hunger Games – which also stars Viola Davis, Josh Andrés Rivera, Jason Schwartzman, Peter Dinklage and Hunter Schafer – is set 64 years before the events of the first movie, and serves as a prequel to the hugely popular original trilogy, released from 2012-2015.

When the movie was released the trailer, fans could not help not to compare Eminem’s Slim Shady look to Tom Blyth’s Coriolanus “Coryo” Snow.

Huffpost has recently caught up with producer Nina Jacobson and director Francis Lawrence to find out more about The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes, and what exactly went into the making of the movie. At one point of the interview, they also talked about the unexpected comparison of Eminem and Coryo.

And how hard was it to frame Coryo as the “hero” of the story given that he’s not really a good person?

FL: I think that was the biggest challenge. One of the things I was really excited about was being able to tell a very different kind of story than the first films; a young man’s descent into darkness. But the issue was taking a character that everybody knows is a villain, and everybody sort of loves to hate, and having the audience root for him and empathize with him. What I would say was the next tricky bit was to make sure that while we’re getting people to root for him, we’re seeding in greed, ambition, and the possible darkness that could be in him.

Erm, so, we couldn’t help but see Eminem in Coryo’s look during the period when he’s becoming a Peacekeeper. Is that something you noticed, too?

FL: No. You know what, I never saw the Eminem thing. Obviously, both Josh and Tom had to shave their heads to get into Peacekeeper mode. When I saw Tom for the first time with his bleached hair and his shaved head, I thought he looked kind of like punk rock, and I loved that kind of edge to it. It wasn’t until the first image was released of him and Rachel lying by the lake that people started saying, “why does he look like Eminem?” Then I went, “oh, I guess he sort of does look like Eminem a bit”. But that was not the intention!

LL Cool J thanks Eminem for “Mom’s Spaghetti” sauce present

Last week, Detroit legend Eminem announced on social media that jars of his “Mom’s Spaghetti” Pasta Sauce would launch through the Mom’s Spaghetti official website.

When the sauce popped up on the website last Thursday for orders, the sauce quickly sold out within hours. After DJ Khaled and Fat Joe, LL Cool J also revealed that Eminem sent him the sauce as a gift.

In the video posted on social media, LL says: “Mr. Marshall, thank you for the Mom’s Spaghetti sauce, man! Yo, once I hook this up, I’mma tear it up baby. I appreciate you. Now, I have to go left on my diet for a minute but its all good! Appreciate you man. Let’s get it! Yo, and I had a fun in the restaurant in Detroit baby, see you soon!” while “Lose Yourself” was playing in the background.

In the caption, LL wrote: “@eminem Thank you B!!” Shade45’s official page commented: “GOAT BUSINESS #ctrlaltdstroy.”

Fat Joe has recently sat down with Hollywood legend Chazz Palminteri on his Chazz Palminteri Show where they talked about everything from growing up in the Bronx, his music career, his hip-hop influences, their mutual friends, life changing stories and their success coming up from the Bronx.

At one point of the interview, The Usual Suspects actor listed his all time greatest rappers before asking it to Fat Joe: “Who do you think are top, all time greatest rappers? I mean, I like Biggie, I thought Biggie was great. Obviously he didn’t do a lot of albums but when you listen to it…And I thought Tupac was very prolific and obviously Eminem.”

“I’ll add some names to that,” said Fat Joe. “Rakim, Jay-Z, Nas, Lil Wayne. My idols are Heavy D, LL Cool J. He’s a major influence in hip-hop. And KRS-One from the Bronx. I studied all of them. And who is your top 5 actors of all time?”

On that, Chazz replied: “Obviously Robert De Niro. Obviously Marlon Brando. I would absolutely put Al Pacino in there. I love Peter O’Toole, I would have to put him in there. And I would probably put James Dean. Three movies, three classics.”

Eminem appears on Thursday Night Football

Fat Joe credits DJ Khaled for Eminem jumping on “Lean Back” remix

On November 5, 2023, Rolling Stone magazine published a profile on DJ Khaled with comments and insight from his peers in the industry. Among them is Fat Joe, who revealed that Eminem’s verse on the “Lean Back” remix traces back to motivation given from the Grammy-winning producer.

“When we did ‘Lean Back,’ we did it in a studio in Khaled’s house. I remember when it came to be remix time, I would’ve never thought I had a chance in the world of getting Eminem. Khaled told me, ‘You could get Em.’ And I went all out and I got Eminem because he had pushed me to.” recalled Fat Joe.

Back in 2005, with the original version of “Lean Back” topping the Billboard Hot 100 and achieving gold status, Terror Squad’s Fat Joe and Remy Ma returned with the crunk remix produced by Lil Jon and featuring verses from Eminem and Mase.

Back in 2011, during the interview with Complex magazine, Fat Joe spoke about Eminem’s verse: “Me and Eminem were cool before he even had a record deal. I wouldn’t dare ask him for a favor. DJ Khaled was gassing me and this is when he was a little ni–a in the crew. He kept telling me, ‘Get the whiteboy!’ I was like, ‘Nah, I ain’t gonna bother him.’ And he was like, ‘I’m telling you, that’s your man. He’ll do it!’

He continued: “So I went and I asked him. And he hit me back like, ‘Yo Joe, you know you got one favor. Is this it?’ Eminem actually rapped at first on the original. And he was asking me, ‘Yo, why did you change the beat?!?’ And he’s another ni–a like Nas on ‘John Blaze’ who sent me mad verses. He did like 10 ‘Lean Back’ verses. He’s a perfectionist. It was incredible already. I didn’t understand why he would keep sending other ones.”
