Mr. Porter reacts to new Eminem album rumors

Since Cole Bennett dropped some hints on new music, the speculations for new Eminem album have stormed the social media.

@stanistheone Instagram account shared a screenshot of supposedly Interscope’s now deleted tweet that said: “It’s official! The next Eminem album, his first in over 3 years, will be released on Friday. Executive produced by Dr. Dre, the album will debut on streaming services along with the new music video directed by Cole Bennett.”

In the caption the fan account wrote: “Reportedly @interscope tweeted this by accident on Twitter yet I don’t know anybody that actually saw said tweet. Notice how there isn’t a specific Friday that’s mentioned just the day itself. Keep in mind there is absolutely no physical proof to substantiate such a claim that an album is coming but remain alert nonetheless.”

In the comment section, Mr. Porter commented laughing emoji, meaning, the above information is bulls–t, unfortunately.

Eminem celebrates Father’s Day by promoting Snoop Dogg’s cereal

It’s been a long time since Eminem last shared anything on his social media accounts. It appears Father’s Day was a special day.

Father’s Day is a holiday honoring one’s father, or relevant father figure, as well as fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. Eminem is a father of three.

Slim Shady celebrated the day by promoting Snoop Dogg’s cereal, a natural flavored fruity hoopz with marshmallows. He posted a picture of himself, eating the cereal alongside Snoop Dogg’s “Doggystyle” cassette tape with TikTok anthem “Mockingbird” playing over the picture. In the caption, Eminem wrote: “Happy Father’s Day… thanks 4 the breakfast @snoopdogg!!!”

Snoop responded by reposting the screenshot of Eminem’s Twitter post with the caption: “@Eminem
8mile Breakfast @snoopcereal @amazon @walmart

Cole Bennett teases new Eminem song next week

Cole Bennett is leveling up in the video production space. The Lyrical Lemonade frontman took to his social media accounts to drop the official Rick Rubin-narrated first-ever short film, titled whyrush?, which was released today on June 18, 2023.

At the end of the film, there is a very strange audio recording. It appears it is reversed audio of Eminem’s “Role Model” intro and fans were quick to figure that out.

In the YouTube’s comment section one of the users commented: “It says “Okay, I’m going to attempt to drown myself” at the end which is reference to Eminem – Role Model. I don’t know why they included this at the end.”

On which the official account of Lyrical Lemonade replied: “Watch what happens next,” with Shushing Face emoji.

The interaction was shared by Cole Bennett himself on his Instagram story with the caption: “See you all next week!”

THIS IS A BIG HINT. Eminem is probably dropping something next week so you better stay tuned on Southpawer! Check out the video below:

Kid Capri says Eminem is hated cause he does “black stuff” better

During a recent interview on Audacy’s Hip-Hop Made podcast with host Mike Street, Kid Capri talked about his favorite rappers and how the majority of people decide on their Top 5 hip-hop artists.

The New York City DJ and rapper discussed how he believes that Eminem is denigrated because he is white and that he raps better than those who hate on him.

“Everybody goes by the popularity of the person instead of the real skill set. Everybody keep going at Eminem because he’s white. You’re mad because he’s doing Black stuff better than you are. Like 50 said. That’s what it is. The boy is nice, you can’t take that from him. Wisely use his name in your mouth every time. That boy is nice. You can not f–k with him on stage at all. ” said Kid Capri.

50 Cent said something similar years ago to defend Slim Shady from haters: “Hip Hop is Black music, without question, and, unfortunately for some people, it’s tough to accept that you have a White artist that does it better than Black artists.”

This is not the first time Capri made statements in defense of Eminem. During an interview with HipHopDX last year, he explained how Lil Pump dissing Eminem inspired his latest album, The Love.

“That was just one of the things that did inspire,” Capri said at the time. “I got tired of seeing the younger dudes thinking that the older people ain’t capable. Like we ain’t been here building this business from the ground up from day one.

Then he continued: “Sometimes, it is the truth. A lot of older people, they get out of touch. They don’t want the younger people to come in and do their thing, and it be just back and forth exchange.

“But when I watch Lil Pump disrespect a dude that became the Elvis of Hip Hop, this dude that sold millions and millions of records, created opportunities for so many people and is one of the greatest MCs on the planet, for him to just disrespect him like that, we losing our respect level.” he added.

Ice Cube says he’d choose Eminem as his ally in a rap battle

Legendary Ice Cube took some time to touch on a variety of topics with The Guardian magazine.

While the interview covers things from his past, like his break from N.W.A., he also touched on a hypothetical situation. The interviewer asked: If you had to choose two rappers to join your team in a rap battle, who would they be and why?

On which Cube replied: “Eminem is one of the best rappers that’s ever blessed the mic, and I feel the same way about Lil Wayne – I would not mind going into battle with those two.”

This is not the first time Ice Cube showed love to Eminem. Couple of years ago, he listed the top 15 greatest emcees of all time and included Slim Shady into it.

“I go back to guys who set the bar.” said Cube. “One of my first greatest is Melle Mel, another great emcee, I believe who brought more style to rhymes is KRS-1, another guy is my favorite of all time who introduced consciousness on another level into rap it’s Chuck D. Another one is another trendsetter, one of the OGs who helped the west coast get on the map, that’s Ice-T.”

Then he continued: “Snoop is one of my favorite rappers of all time, so is Biggie, so is Jay Z, so is Nas. We got rappers like Ras Kass on the west coast that’s crazy, Eminem – one of the best to ever touch the mic. Lil Wayne goddamn, he’s nasty! Oh, and Black Thought, monster! I’m gonna say Slick Rick. I’m gonna leave the last one blank [Laughs]. There are so many great emcees to name.”

Jack Harlow talks about Eminem, responds Machine Gun Kelly diss

During a recent appearance on Rap Radar podcast with Elliott Wilson and Brian ‘B.Dot’ Miller, Jack Harlow briefly talked about Eminem and responded to Machine Gun Kelly’s ‘Drake flow’ diss after claiming himself as the best white rapper since Slim Shady.

“I used to order bunch of XXLs and I think I was just reading old interviews, y’all put Eminem on the cover every month. I was reading a lot of Eminem interviews and I remember I was reading this one section and there was a whole column that said ‘Eminem bad for hip-hop’ and y’all had some of the biggest rappers in the game answered. Jay-Z gave his answer. I read that and everyone answered like ‘F–K NO! EMINEM NOT BAD FOR HIP-HOP. HE’S DOPE AS S–T.’ And that’s what connected with me.” – said Jack Harlow

Then he continues: “At the end of the day, if you can rap, what else we talking about? We are not perfect. He made few mistakes in his career, sure, but it don’t f–king matter because he can rap his a– off so I said, I just had a moment I was like ‘just rap bro, there is so many things you could try to be everything’ but at the end of the day on this one I just wanted to rap.”

Later in the interview, Harlow responded to Machine Gun Kelly’s “Renegade” freestyle diss: “Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, and I feel great about what I said, and I feel great about the reaction. It just is what it is. I’m an MC! I’m talking my s–t. This ain’t new concept to feel yourself. I fell no reservations about what was said at all.

Earlier this month MGK dissed the Kentucky native in a freestyle over Jay-Z’s Eminem-produced 2001 hit, “Renegade.” In the freestyle, he rapped: “I see why they call you Jackman, you jacked man’s whole swag / Give Drake his flow back, man, I eat rappers like Pac-Man.”

Eminem adopted Alaina who was born to the twin sister of Eminem’s wife, Kim, who reportedly struggled with drug use and died back in 2016. “I have full custody of my niece. My niece has been a part of my life ever since she was born. Me and Kim pretty much had her, she’d live with us wherever we was at.” – Eminem told to Rolling Stone in 2016.

In the song “Mockigbird” Eminem refers Alaina Scott as Lainey: “Lainey, uncle’s crazy ain’t he? Yeah, but he loves you, girl and you better know it / We’re all we got in this world.”

Wicked says Eminem can go against Lil Wayne on Verzuz battle

Wicked from the Ghetto Mafia has recently sat down with B High Atl where he listed rappers who go against Lil Wayne in a Verzuz battle and included Eminem as the main candidate.

“If we are talking one on one, my catalog against yours, Eminem can go toe to toe with Lil Wayne. Jay can go toe to toe with him. LL is another guy. LL can go against anybody. Rock The Bell album alone, every song on that album, it’s 15! Nas, you know Snoop can go at anybody. His own partner Drake too. I said Em. We can throw Kanye up there.” said Wicked

Then he continues: “If we are talking about just lyricists, I have no argument with Lil Wayne. I know some people might be upset when I say but Eminem! Em’s a bad motherf–ker. We can’t hate. You know, some people are like ‘I can’t put him in there’ but that’s bulls–t.”

“After Dre and Snoop for a moment, I don’t know their personal business, but it was a little moment that they would not f–king with each other and that’s when he came in with Em and 50 Cent. And when he came with Em like ‘Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say’ Snoop was like ‘hold on now. Snoop had to do like that for a minute and he was like ‘maybe I should talk to Dre and square this away’ so like I said, I would put Em up there, like Nas and Jay but Lil Wayne does not have to apologize for saying that. This man held down this industry for 30 plus years.” Wicked added.
