Jerome Kapp, an undrafted rookie wide receiver with the New York Jets, rose to fame after giving the renowned “8 Mile” freestyle by Eminem during the rookie talent competition, which was aired on HBO’s “Hard Knocks.”
And it seems Eminem absolutely loved it.
It’s very rare to see Eminem posting on social media but the original “B Rabbit” gave Kapp, who looked just like Eminem in the film with his hood pulled over a beanie, a salute on Twitter.
Slim Shady posted a simple salute emoji while tagging Kapp, HBO and the NFL above the full video of Kapp’s rapping performance, where he recited Eminem freestyle against Papa Doc word for word.
Fat Joe has recently sat down on the latest episode of Rap Radar where the legendary hip-hop artist explained why he believes Eminem is a rap god.
“Eminem is a God! I don’t give a f–k what you think. He’s a god. You know what I’m saying? He’s somebody who shifted the whole algorithms when he came out.” said Fat Joe.
Then he continued: “I remember me and Big Pun… Big Pun was the first Latino to sell 2 million records solo, we nominated for Grammy and the night before we go to the Grammys, we are waiting on line in LA in Tower Records for the f–king Eminem album. Nominated for the Grammy, me and Big Pun on line to get that motherf–king Eminem album. You tell me he ain’t a Rap God. You understand what I’m saying?”
“So it’s like, you know, I respect everybody who put their contributions to this game.” Fat Joe added.
Benzino has recently sat down with Math Hoffa and the rest of the crew on the latest episode of My Expert Opinion where they talked about Eminem.
“Eminem got some cool songs. I like them. There is bunch of s–t that I don’t like that’s every artist. I like “Stan,” “Lose Yourself,” “Nail In The Coffin,” I like it. I’m listening to it. I do. I liked it. I did. Beat was dope and he killed that s–t.” said Benzino.
Then he continued: “My thing is, he deserved, like anybody deserved, every piece of success he got. He earned it. It’s just…When I was at The Source, I was at the top. I didn’t have to answer nobody. So, I felt like my message would get across.”
“Eminem’s disses , I’m keeping it real, none of his s–t really affected me because while he was discrediting me as a street ni–a, I know I’m street ni–ga. I know the s–t I’ve done. Ni–as in the street know so that didn’t bother me. So that’s why I never looked at it like ‘he ended your career’ or ‘he killed you.’ If he hit me with Nas’ “Ether,” I would probably moved out of the country. If Em had different beats on diss records against me, I think it would have way greater affect but anything Em can do, people go like ‘OH MY GOD!'” Benzino added.
Then Zino talks about his daughter Coi Leray talking about Eminem on My Expert Opinion. You can watch the full thing below:
White Gold has recently posted a cryptic video snippet on his Instagram story that’s supposed to be an Eminem song.
This lyrics of the song mentions “Slim” and references “As The World Turns,” a 1999 song where Eminem appears entirely as Slim Shady, an alias which represents the dark and impulsive side of his personality. At the end of the first verse, the evil finally “transforms him” into Shady, losing all impulse control. He then continues to terrorize various women throughout the song.
The intro of the snippet goes like this: “Hey Slim, wanna get wasted? / You got all the money in the world, I know your bored / No, but really, Slim / You know you can have 2 million hoes when you tour, maybe more / Look, I thought you was a rapper / Besides the money, ain’t this what you doin’ it for? / Maybe I’m wrong, and as the world turns / You know the public is movin’ on from you, right?”
White Gold and Eminem have previously collaborated on two tracks, “You Gon’ Learn” with Royce 5’9″ and “Zeus”, both from Music To Be Murdered By album. Last year, the musician hinted that more songs with Eminem was coming.
Reddit user Clear_Letterhead_858 did some research around the snippet and here is what he says: “Did some research in regards to White Gold’s story and DMed narzabeats whose @ is seen in the story. He reposted a reel that an Em fan account posted. I DMed him and asked if it was for an upcoming White Gold song and he liked my DM. I’d say odds are this is for part of an album.”

Flavor Flav, who was a founding member of the legendary hip-hop group Public Enemy alongside Chuck D, has recently visited Eminem’s “Mom’s Spaghetti” restaurant in downtown Detroit.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee posted a video on Instagram, saying: “Yo, Eminem! Flavor Flav, right here at your spot! Eating Mom’s Spaghetti while it’s still hot, you know what I’m saying!?

In 2023, the 17th edition of Tomorrowland revolved around the mythical theme ‘Adscendo’, turning De Schorre into a magical destination high on the horizon, where the People of Tomorrow witnessed the rise of a magnificent tale in the history of Tomorrowland’s Great Library.
More than 400.000 People of Tomorrow celebrated love, music and unity during two legendary weekends full of surprises, enjoying breathtaking performances across 16 mesmerizing stages by more than 750 of the world’s best electronic music artists, including Amelie Lens, Anyma, Black Coffee, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Eric Prydz, Lost Frequencies, Nina Kraviz, Paul Kalkbrenner, Tale Of Us, The Chainsmokers, and many more…
On the mainstage, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, a Belgian–Greek DJ duo composed of brothers Dimitri Thivaios and Michael Thivaios, opened their show with the instrumental of Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” later followed by 50 Cent’s “In Da Club.”
The Beastie Boys have consistently been listed as one of Eminem‘s major influences, and a close friend of the hip-hop band has now claimed that the Detroit icon came within a whisker of recording a song with the two surviving members a few years ago.
During a recent interview with AllHipHop longtime Beasties collaborator Mix Master Mike revealed that he was close to orchestrating a collaboration between Eminem, Mike D and Ad-Rock following the 2012 passing of MCA.
“I actually reached out to Eminem. I called him and Paul Rosenberg and I pushed for a song. I had the beat made and everything. It was gonna be Beastie Boys, Eminem and a Mix Master Mike track. Eminem was like, ‘Let’s f–king go.’ I was spearheading this, so I brought it to Mike and Ad-Rock’s attention.” said Mix Master Mike.
“They were like, ‘It’s kind of weird we don’t have Yauch anymore, so we feel a way that out of respect of Adam that we don’t do it.’ I’m like, ‘What are you talking about? Adam would love this.’
“I was really trying to push this. It would have been f–king insane. I was like, ‘Mike just give me 32 bars. Just rap.’ But I respected their wish to not do it. Our captain is not here anymore. But maybe if I push it again, who knows?”
“I was in the process of getting bars from Eminem. He was so pumped cause these are his heroes. I was kind of fulfilling his dream. I’m the gatekeeper of his dream. I felt that was a responsibility on my behalf to present that to him. The great white hopes of Hip Hop [laughs].” Mix Master Mike added.
During a recent interview with PEOPLE magazine, Maryland hip-hop artist Rico Nasty discussed Eminem’s influence on her, crediting one of his iconic songs as the song that made her want to become a rapper.
“You know what’s so crazy, it was “Stan” on the Marshall Mathers LP… It was “Stan” by Eminem that made me want to be a rapper. I loved how it invoked every emotion. You felt scared, you felt excited, on the edge… It was almost like a horror movie.” Rico Nasty said.
Then she continued: “On the edge of your seat, waiting to see if this person was going to make the right decision. You almost feel bad for this person. It was very cinematic, that movie, it felt… that video was so cinematic. And then it also gave me a perspective that I never really had before, which was like, “Yeah, a lot of these people, they have fans, but some of these people have fans that are…” They’re die hard, man. They wait for your responses.
“And that was…Besides Tyler, The Creator and Nicki Minaj, that was my first example of what a fan was, low key, just obsessive. He even looked like him. He even looked like him in the video. That was crazy.” she added.

Jake Paul has recently sat down with Mike Tyson and DJ Whoo Kid on Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson where the social media personality, actor, and professional boxer briefly talked about Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly beef. Check out the conversation below:
DJ Whoo Kid: Is MGK part of your repertoire?
Jake Paul: Yeah, MGK, we are cool and his whole squad.
Mike Tyson: He’s not cool with Eminem though, is he?
DJ Whoo Kid: Yeah, they got rap beef.
Mike Tyson: Why you gonna f–k with Eminem? He’s gonna be in bad shape man. That’s the last guy in rap you want to mess with.
DJ Whoo Kid: I don’t think anybody ever conquered Eminem in anything man.
Jake Paul: They had diss tracks back and forth. And they are both good. I don’t think there is a decisive winner in that rap beef. It honestly made both of them way bigger and it was very entertaining. Noone bodied the other one. It was good on both sides. It was a draw.
Last week, in response to Eminem’s jab on “Realest” track with Ez Mil, Melle Mel released an Eminem diss-track and unfortunately the song was not very well received.
Critics were so bitter that Melle Mel was forced to remove the track from YouTube and send an apology to Slim Shady.
During the latest episode of Joe Budden podcast, Joe Budden also criticized Melle Mel’s response. “I’m gonna cut it off cause I know some of you all listening in the car. I’m not gonna do it to you all. That was Melle Mel dissing Eminem, I guess, cause Eminem dissed him.” said Joe Budden.
Then he continued: “Dawg, respectfully, it’s hip-hop’s 50th birthday. Melle Mel, thank you first of all, for everything. Secondly, don’t do this again. We want to honor hip-hop and all of its pioneers. We don’t wanna hear from you all ni–as.”
Hailie’s Just A Little Shady podcast is back for Season 2.
“Coming back for Season 2 at Lollapalooza, Chicago! Interviewing artists about hot topics & even hotter shady stories of their own as we discuss the secret stories that might be getting them in trouble. Plus, recapping what went down at the festival throughout the weekend.” she says.
The first guest of her show is Matthew Raymond Hauri, known professionally as Yung Gravy, who is an American rapper. He first earned recognition in 2016, when his song “Mr. Clean” gained traction on SoundCloud; it is now RIAA-certified Platinum.
During the interview, Hailie asked Gravy why he deleted the comment he made on one of her Instagram posts, on which he replied:
“It was some post of you. You were looking cute and I just commented something that I thought it was funny, I wanted to see if I get some sort of response or if people like it. I did it and I sat there for a while and I was like ‘you know what? I don’t wanna be that guy. I don’t want to piss off f–king Eminem.’ Yes, I did comment on your s–t for like couple of hours. It was not anything aggressive though, it was cute. Some sweat.” Yung Gravy said.
Eminem and Melle Mel have been beefing. The conflict started with some comments that Melle Mel made in an interview with The Art Of Dialogue back in March saying that if Eminem wasn’t white, he wouldn’t be considered one of the top five rappers alive. This is all according to Billboard‘s 50 Greatest Rappers Of All Time list that came out earlier this year, on which Eminem was ranked at number 4 and Melle Mel came in at number 48.
Those comments went mostly unnoticed until last week, when Eminem addressed them on a song “Realest,” with Ez Mil. In the song, Eminem opens his verse with the following lines: “Guess I’ve really no right to complain much, hip hop has been good to me/ But when they say that I’m only top five ’cause I’m white why would I be stunned. My skin color’s still working against me ’cause second I should be to none/ Being white ain’t why they put me at five, it’s why they can’t put me at one.”
Then Slim Shady went on to address Melle Mel directly in the verse: “Shout out to the Furious Five and Grandmaster Flash but boy/ That’s someone who really is furious, stay out of his path, his wrath avoid/ And I’ll be the last to toy with a juice head whose brain is like half destroyed/ Like a meteor hit it, there went Melle Mel, we lost his ass to roids.”
Melle Mel soon responded with a diss track of his own, under the name “Melle Mel’s Response To Eminem’s Latest Diss” on YouTube. The track received horrible reviews from the fans, naming it ‘the worst diss track in history.’
Later the iconic hip-hop artist deleted all the post he made about Eminem and issued apologizing statement. You can read the full note below:
In light of the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop, my original intention was to contribute an engaging and enjoyable endeavor to enrich the cultural landscape. Regrettably, my response fell short in its execution, and I accept full responsibility for the misjudgment.
I acknowledge that my perspective was ill-conceived and I am prepared to take ownership of this oversight. It has become evident that Eminem’s dedicated and passionate fan base stands unwaveringly by his side, which is a testament to their genuine admiration and loyalty — a truly commendable aspect.
From the onset, I have consistently recognized Eminem’s exceptional prowess as an emcee, without reservation. My unfortunate choice of words, suggesting that his success is solely attributed to the color of his skin, was in no way reflective of my genuine beliefs. It was an attempt, albeit misguided, to engage competitively within the emcee sphere.
It is important to acknowledge that the dynamics of Hip-Hop have evolved over distinct eras, and it is inevitable that not everyone will resonate with my perspective, just as I may not fully comprehend others. Throughout my involvement in shaping the Hip-Hop landscape, the cornerstone has been built upon a foundation of mutual respect, even when personal preferences may differ.
Moving forward, my paramount commitment is to foster an environment characterized by respect in every facet of my endeavors. With utmost sincerity, I convey my best wishes and extend heartfelt appreciation to Eminem for his recognition extended to me during his Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction speech.
In conclusion, I am keenly aware that Hip-Hop encompasses diverse epochs, and my objective remains focused on promoting a spirit of respect, as we collectively celebrate the 50th anniversary of this influential phenomenon.
