Tom MacDonald talks his favorite Eminem songs

Last year, Tom MacDonald did a livestream on Facebook where the Canadian rapper answered questions from the fans. One of the users asked what was his favorite Eminem song. Here is what he replied.

“Damn…My favorite Eminem song?! Jeez, what is my favorite Eminem song? It’s gotta be something old. It’s gotta be off of either The Marshall Mathers LP or The Eminem Show. Cause I kinda fell off after The Eminem Show, when Encore dropped. I listened to Encore but I was kinda like weirded out by the direction things were going in so Encore was definitely last Eminem album I listened to.” said Tom MacDonald.

Then he continued: “I hear all the s–t he drops now obviously. It’s all over the online and I’m interested in it and I listen to it but the last time I religiously listened to that guy was like many many many many years ago and that was The Marshall Mathers LP or The Eminem Show so my favorite song gotta be from one of those albums. Both albums are f–king incredible. Every song on those albums are f–king 10 out of 10 pretty much. So, I don’t know, pick whatever your favorite song is off The Marshall Mathers LP or The Eminem Show and I’ll roll with you on that me too.”

“People love asking about Eminem. People love it.” Tom MacDonald added.

Spencer Dinwiddie invokes Eminem in latest Kyle Kuzma slander

Spencer Dinwiddie of the Brooklyn Nets and Kyle Kuzma have recently engaged in a lot of back and forth on social media, and their Twitter beef now appears to be a full-fledged feud between these two former Washington Wizards colleagues. In his most recent round of vitriol against Kuz, Dinwiddie has now been forced to make references to Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant, and Eminem.

Initial criticism came from Dinwiddie, who referred to Kuzma’s recent name-calling as “something I probably heard last time I was like 10 years old.” Then, Dinwiddie channeled his inner Bunny Rabbit by referencing Eminem’s well-known figure from the movie 8 Mile:

“It’s like a theory from 8 Mile… The way Eminem approached the final battle, if you approach it with truth, what is there to hide? There’s nothing there. That’s probably the last time I’m gonna address that because I want to keep the focus on the team and what we’re doing. At the end of the day, I spoke truth and got rebutted with 10-year-old insults.” Spencer Dinwiddie said via ClutchPoints on Twitter.

Benzino says Michael Jackson thanked him for standing tall against Eminem

In the latest episode of The GAUDS Show, Ray Daniels and Tamira Smith at down with Benzino where they dive into Benzino’s journey in creating The Source magazine, and the controversies that came along with it.

He also opens up about his experiences as a father and reflects on the lessons he learned through his relationships with women, including his time on reality TV. Zino also recalled some history with Eminem.

“First of all, I didn’t listen to that [Eminem] type of rap. That just was not my type of rap. He can rap. Eminem is a talented, skillful rapper but that’s not my type. The beauty of hip-hop is that we have so many different types of artists and I can listen to what the f–k I want to listen to. Everyone has their own top ten lists. If Eminem is on your top, god bless you, I respect that.” said Benzino.

Then he continues: “Let me tell you something. I was in Miami and Michael Jackson called me and thanked me, because when Eminem dissed him with fire situation in the video, I sat there and I listened to him. He thanked me and then he started talking about Tommy Mottola. That was one of the greatest moments in my life. Mike was not saying all white people are bad, we are not saying that. Not all of them are devils. Michael was referring to the situation in the music industry. He actually thanked me, because I kinda upheld, stood tall against him.”

“It was not a rap beef against Eminem. I wasn’t a decent rapper. I had decent songs but I was doing whole bunch of other things. I was a pretty good producer too. I produced Nas’ double platinum Stillmatic album, the very first song. Eminem came out and he just got different treatment than any every other black rapper. And I just didn’t appreciate that. So, when everybody was scared to say something, I was the only one who didn’t. And everything I said was true. I said that black people got hip-hop and we got white people to finally buy into us. And now they want to give the white people back somebody that they can buy into. And 200 years from now, when they pull up the history, and search who was the best one, there comes Eminem.” Benzino added.

NF responds to people who think he dissed Eminem on “MOTTO”

In the latest episode of Lowkey Deeply, NF spoke about his upbringing, his process of writing music and mental health. The Gladwin, Michigan-born rapper also talked about how his new album titled HOPE came together and revealed if there really is a feud with Eminem.

Even though NF has cited Eminem as his biggest influence when growing up, fans think there has been going on some back and forth between the two since Slim Shady dropped Kamikaze album. In the song “The Ringer,” Marshall raps: “Last week, an ex-fan mailed me a copy / Of The Mathers LP to tell me to study / It’ll help me get back to myself and she’ll love me (ooouuu) / I mailed the b–ch back and said if I did that / I’d just be like everyone else in the f–king industry / Especially an effing Recovery clone of me (NFing).”

“An effing” is a minced way of saying “a f–king”. Em is supposedly taking a shot at NF who makes music often compared to Eminem in his Recovery era, but who refrains from using profane language in his lyrics. Eminem softens his own profanity to mock this, while simultaneously turning it into a pun on NF’s rap name.

In one of his latest singles, titled “MOTTO” NF raps: “(Oh, snap) This is the industry… (Oh, yeah) Would’ve gave anything / To be respected by the artist I was listening to / but not no more, them days are history.” Fans thought those lines were response to Eminem but the young rapper denied the rumors in the latest interview on Lowkey Deeply.

“The older I get and the more I do music I just don’t care about it as much. Some people trying to take lines like that and make personal thing towards a person specifically but overall, I’ve never felt less of a need to get the nod from anybody artist wise. Because I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished, whether or not I’m ever get the nod from the industry itself, I’m proud of the shows I’m able to do. The records I’m able to sell.” said NF.

Then he continues: “It’s not that a nod from certain artist would not mean something to me but it’s just I don’t feel the same as I would have. So yeah, the reason is, once you just have been around and you have seen the industry more, I feel like you feel just kinda shifted how I thought about the industry and music and stuff like that.”

NF shouts out Eminem and Dr. Dre on a new song

NF has recently released long awaited fifth solo studio album, titled “HOPE.”

It was announced through the album’s self-titled lead single, “HOPE”, released on February 16, 2023. This marks NF’s first full-length studio album in over three years.

The album includes a song “Turn My Back,” produced by Saint X and David Garcia, NF shows love to Eminem, Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar and others who inspired him musically.

Need grace, need love, need God, need faith
Betray, cut ties, first time, first take
Worst case, wordplay, my home, my stage
My place, less you, more Ye
More Drake, more Em, more Dre
More Cole, more Kendrick, more names
Cordae, Sean, 6LACK, my list
My names, my picks, my taste (Woo)

One of NF’s favorite artists growing up was Eminem. And as you can see, he still relates to his music.

NF and Eminem had a little battle of words before, starting with Eminem’s song “The Ringer” on the album “Kamikaze” in 2018, saying that NF copied his album Recovery, probably referring to NF’s album Therapy Session.

Even though NF didn’t name drop Eminem after the shot against him, he spat his part on his song “Returns” on the album “The Search” in 2019. And possibly addressed to this incident when he said even his idols opinions don’t matter to him anymore in the song “MOTTO” in this new album.

Even though all this happened between them, NF still counts Eminem on his list and respects his childhood idol as an artist.

You get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime, and this is it. This is it for me. Imagine what if I get it done!? What if I get it done better than he has ever done it. What if I butchered and beat the f–k out of him?!”

Eladio Carrión, rapper and singer of Latin trap and reggaeton, has recently dropped by the neighborhood to speak with Big Boy about working with 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Bad Bunny, and Future on his new album 3MEN2 KBRN.

He also talked his professional swimming career, switching from comedy to music, losing his dog, and his upcoming performance at Coachella.

At one point of the interview, Eladio Carrión spoke how Eminem and 50 Cent influenced his writing style: “I have always loved to rhyme. I am big Eminem fan and Lil Wayne and 50 Cent. So, I always had that curiosity for clever wordplay…I always thought, like Eminem, how can I do music like him and make people feel it. Em, 50, Wayne showed me how to write rap. And Kanye West was the first rapper who made me feel the beat.”

This is not the first time Eladio Carrión gave Eminem his flowers. Last year, during the conversation with XXL magazine, the Puerto Rican artist revealed that Nas and Slim Shady introduced him to rap: “When I was like, in the first grade, I’d be hearing 50 Cent’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’, Nas, Eminem’s Curtain Call. Jay-Z, Big L. I was introduced to hip-hop very early. Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott, all of that. my favorite rappers like Big Sean, Lil Wayne, Eminem, 50, each of those rappers taught me something. Like 50 Cent, he taught me the importance of feeling sure about yourself when you rap. Eminem taught me about deliveries and wordplay. Big Sean also, his delivery and wordplay is crazy. Lil Wayne, you don’t have to wait every four bars to do a punch line. You could do a punch line every bar. Every bar there could be a punch line.”
