We bring all the latest and exclusive news for Eminem for the fans around the globe.

Eminem announces expanded edition of “The Death of Slim Shady”

Like they say, true to theme, the Detroit legend Eminem has a surprise in store for this Friday the 13th. Slim Shady has just announced that he will be releasing the Expanded Mourner’s Edition of his latest 12th solo studio album “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)” later this week, teasing the reloaded project with a trailer posted to his social media accounts.

In the clip announcing the new release, Em walks into a convenience store and pulls a carton of milk out of the refrigerator. Only, he drops it onto the ground, revealing a missing ad on the side of the box featuring his alter ego Slim Shady. As he exits the store, his longtime friend and tour DJ, The Alchemist hops out from behind the store counter and tells him to never come back.

It’s unclear what will end up on the Expanded Mourner’s Edition of the album, though one can surmise it will feature new tracks — perhaps produced by Alchemist. Fans are also expecting features from 50 Cent, Dr. Dre and Royce Da 5’9″, which was teased right before the release of The Death Of Slim Shady. It might also include the original album bonus tracks: DJ Premier-produced “Kyrie & Luka,” featuring 2 Chainz and “Like My S–t,” featuring FIFTEENAFTER.

“The Death of Slim Shady” marked the end of a chapter for Slim Shady, presented as a concept album that let his bawdy and crass alter ego out of the cage for one last hurrah. Shady has been a perennial figure in Eminem‘s music from the start, with his more salacious material attributed to his evil counterpart.

With Eminem releasing the expanded edition of The Death Of Slim Shady album and dropping physical copies on the same day, opening the MTV Video Music Awards a day before and dropping music video with LL Cool J, it all may boost the album sales so much that it might be back at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 charts next week. Check out the trailer of the expanded edition below:

Angry Nicki Minaj shows love to Eminem following NFL & JAY-Z snubbing Lil Wayne over Kendrick Lamar

Couple of days ago, Kendrick Lamar was announced as the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show headliner (Sunday, September 8, 2024), and part of the hip-hop world spoke up about Lil Wayne being overlooked with the 2025 big game being in his hometown of New Orleans.

Considering the year K. Dot has had with the massive success of his Drake diss track, “Not Like Us,” the decision wasn’t necessarily a surprising one. However, according to some hip-hop artists, Weezy should have been chosen to headline the show—especially since it’s in Wayne’s hometown.

Wayne’s longtime collaborator Nicki Minaj has also expressed her disappointment in NFL and lashed out on JAY-Z (who is adviser on selecting artists for major NFL performances) on X (formerly twitter. She also showed love to Eminem for not doing 2022 Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show without 50 Cent: “Denying a young black man what he rightfully put into this game for no other reason but your ego. Your hatred for BIRDMAN, Drake & Nicki got you punishing Lil Wayne?!?!!! LIL WAYNE!!!!!!!!!! THE GOAT?!!!!!!!!!!! Nola what’s good?!!!!!! Eminem stood firm on having 50Cent come out. A white man. S–t sad. House NI-GER TINGZ. but it’s GOOD FI DEM!!!!!!! No loyalty ? Welp. then ni-gaz will keep son’ing you!!!!! #DTLR #GagCityDC LMFAOOOOOOOOOO GOODAZ FI DEL GAL U AH GOODAZ FI DEM.” she tweeted.

Nicki appreciates the fact that a white man (Eminem) is helping his black friend (50 Cent) but a black man (JAY-Z) is not doing the same for a black man (Lil Waye). As you might know, Eminem refused to perform at the 2022 Super Bowl without 50 Cent.

Then she continued in the next tweet: “And btw, you don’t know the half of what lil Wayne has done for me & others. Wayne had drake & I on his tour w/no papers signed. He was on all of my mixtapes w/no papers signed. This man has literally changed the FACE of hip hop. The hair too. IYKYK. He inspired so many to tat their faces & get locks. Inspired your faves to wanna be a great MC. he never was in this for the money. It’s always been for the love of music. #GagCityDC TONIGHT #DTLR.” Check the tweets below.

Flavor Flav and ICE-T give shout out to Eminem

With the MTV Video Music Awards just couple of days away, the details are finally falling into place. Detroit icon Eminem will have an opening performance and founding member of Public Enemy, legendary Flavor Flav will be one of the presenters for the program.

After MTV made announcement about Eminem, Flavor Flav showed love to him on social media, saying: “Eminem is my favorite rapper,,, and he’s opening the VMAs,!!! We STAN on Wednesday,!!” Check out the tweet below.

This is not the first time Flav gave Eminem a shout out. Roosevelt, New York-born hip-hop artist has previously crowned Slim Shady as “the best rapper alive” and “The GOAT of hip-hop.” Earlier this year, during the interview with DJ Whoo Kid on Shade 45 radio, Flav said: “Eminem is my favorite rapper. Word up. And not only that, he still shouts Flavor Flav out in his records. Yeah boy! You know what? Check this out. I don’t care how they trying to color my man it don’t stop him from being number one. That’s all I got to say. And being number one don’t have no color. Word up man. Yeah, Eminem man! he’s the best rapper alive right now man! Can’t nobody beat him out. When you can’t be beat, that means you are the best. Let me tell you something. Back in the day, when Eminem, Snoop, Dre, they had this group together and this is when the first time Eminem seen me and when he seen me, he went ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. I didn’t know who he was at that time. I gave him mad love man. He went crazy over me and I gave mad love. Lets say like this, because a lot of those guys [Redman, LL Cool , Nas] are like mentors to Em. But then Em is like a mentor to them too. It’s all a mutual respect thing. That’s one thing I could say about Eminem. He has mad, mad respect from all of the legends in the rap game but he’s a legend himself. For real.”

Another rap legend who recently gave shout out to Eminem is ICE-T. During one of his shows in early 2010s, Eminem wore the t-shirt that had printed back cover of Ice-T’s second studio album, POWER. Ice shared the picture on Twitter with the caption: “Yep, the legendary Back cover.. RESPECT to Eminem.” Like Flav, the respect between Em and Ice is mutual and the two have given lots of shout outs to each other over the years. Check out the tweet below:

Eminem to have opening performance at 2024 MTV VMAs

Eminem is set to open the 2024 MTV VMAs, airing live this Wednesday, September 11, at 8 p.m. ET.

The Detroit legend will perform material from his latest album, The Death of Slim Shady, for the first time on MTV’s television network. Em is also nominated for eight VMAs this year, including Artist of the Year, Video of the Year, Best Hip-Hop, and Song of the Summer for the Death of Slim Shady’s lead single, “Houdini.” If he wins just one award, he’ll surpass Peter Gabriel as the most decorated male artist in VMAs history.

Eminem is no stranger to the MTV VMAs stage. He last performed at the show in 2022, when he and Snoop Dogg delivered their collaboration, “From the D 2 The LBC.” He also made a surprise appearance during Dr. Dre and Snoop’s VMA performance in 2012; opened the MTV VMAs in 2010 with “Not Afraid” and “Love the Way You Lie” with Rihanna; and made his performance debut in 1999 with a double-shot of “Guilty Conscience” and “My Name Is.”

But arguably, Eminem’s most famous VMA moment came in 2000 when he performed “Real Slim Shady” and “The Way I Am,” accompanied by an army of over 100 lookalikes. That performance is, fittingly, nominated for one of the VMAs’ new prizes this year, Most Iconic Performance.

The 2024 VMAs feature a stacked performance lineup that also includes Sabrina Carpenter, Chappel Roan, Halsey, Karol G, LL Cool J, Shawn Mendes, Lisa, Rauw Alejandro, GloRilla, Anitta, and Benson Boone. Katy Perry will perform upon receiving the Video Vanguard award, as will Megan Thee Stallion, who’s also hosting the show. Check out Eminem’s 2024 MTV VMAs nominations below:

Big Daddy Kane, Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe & Royce 5’9″ react to new LL Cool J & Eminem song

This Friday, after more than a decade break, the legendary LL Cool J dropped the new album, titled The FORCE, entirely produced by another hip-hop icon, Q-Tip. It features guest appearances from Snoop Dogg, Fat Joe, Rick Ross, Sona Jobarteh, Saweetie, Busta Rhymes, Nas, Eminem, Mad Squablz, J-S.A.N.D., and Don Pablito.

“Murdergram Deux”, featuring Eminem, was released as the fourth single of the album on August 30, 2024. With LL’s nostalgic bravado and Eminem’s signature speedy flow and subtle wordplay, the song sees the pair boasting about their raw “unapologetic” style and credibility in the rap game. The track is produced by Eminem and Q-Tip, LL’s fellow Queens rap legend and former member of A Tribe Called Quest, who has produced the entire album.

DJ Whoo Kid shared the snippet of the song on his Instagram with the caption: “@llcoolj x @eminem, this is my fav LL song! Your thoughts? @ilovewhoodini.” Whoo Kid probably meant that it’s his favorite LL song from the new album.

Under the comments, legendary Big Daddy Kane commented: “LOVE IT!!! This a Cerrone vibe.” Busta Rhymes, Fat Joe, Royce 5’9″ and Lazarus have all commented fire emojis. Though, fans have mixed feeling about the song and the entire album. Someone said: “The album is not that good. The lyrics are on point, typical LL, but the tracks…..leaves a lot to be desired.” One user commented: “Nah man, this ain’t it…” Another said: “They ripped that s–t!” Check out the screenshot of the reactions below:

 

Jelly Roll says Eminem’s cam recording in “Somebody Save Me” video is real

Nick Major of Spout Podcast chipped it up with  Jelly Roll as he embarked on his “Beautifully Broken” tour. Jelly Roll shared candid insights about the tour’s early success, including five consecutive sold-out shows, and the emotional highs and lows of performing live. He opened up about his past struggles, the importance of staying connected with his roots, and the profound impact his music has on fans. Jelly Roll also discussed his exciting collaborations with artist like Eminem, his deep connection to his music’s purpose, and his latest album, set to drop on October 11th.

“Collaborating with Eminem is by far the most unreal thing that’s happened in my career yet. There are probably five people on earth I’d meet that I would clearly be jittery around. It’d be like Gareth Brooks, James Taylor, Bog Seager, Eminem. People I grew up knowing every word of every son they ever released.” said Jelly Roll.

Then he continued: “When he sent the record and I got to hear it first time, for me it was such a fan cause it reminded me a ‘Mockingbird.’ It reminded me The Eminem Show Em, that era of him cause the rest of the album kinda felt like earlier Slim Shady but these couple of songs, ‘Temporary,’ with my friend, Skylar Grey, they felt really nostalgic, like deep Eminem, like Stan Eminem, that real story-teller Eminem. That Eminem that made you feel like you were in his living room with him and you knew his daughter and you knew the family struggles and you knew what he was going through, you felt it. For that to be combined with the song that I think I was my version of that, I feel like ‘Save Me’ is kind of a peep into my soul. For that to be the song that brought us together, I think it was so serendipitous.

“It was deep man. People don’t know this but he showed me, when we were sitting backstage for the video, that Camcord footage is real. That’s not a fix. That was not a made-up thing. He had years of this old footage from his drug addiction years that he had never even really properly went through because he knew that was from those years. And somewhere in the process of the album, I don’t remember the exact story but it was like he had either seen that video the day he wrote Somebody Save Me or couple days after he wrote Somebody Save Me. It’s really deep man. We’ve spent a lot of time on that video set really hanging. That dude got really deep with me. He’s a great guy, man.”

“I’m glad I got a second time to hang out with him cause the first time I met him I just completely made a fool of myself. I just did the nervous talk your face-off kind of thing. He’s not talkative as me. So, in general, he was kind of quiet. And we were just meeting and every time it got quiet I just started spitting fun facts about me. I had to apologize doing it but he was like ‘it’s all good dude.'” Jelly Roll added. You can watch the interview below:

Murda Mook describes first time meeting Eminem, says how much Eminem influenced him

Battle rap legend Murda Mook has recently done an interview on hiphopisreal.com where he talked about Eminem, meeting him first time in Detroit, how much he could relate his music and what Eminem mentioning his name on Cordae’s “Parables (remix)” song meant for him.

“Eminem is my favorite rapper. Nobody rap like him to me. I met that man one time. I never thought I would ever be star-struck in front of somebody. My brother AK brings me Detroit event. I think Shady was throwing it. Em was there. Em was up on the balcony and they were like ‘come upstairs, you gon’ meet Em.’ I’m like ‘WHAAT?!’ I go upstairs, Paul Rosenberg, he was like ‘what’s up Mook.’ I’m like ‘you know me? that’s what’s up!’ He like ‘yeah, he [Em] over there.’ I’m walking up and I feel my legs getting weak. I’m not understanding what’s happening to me. I was like, why the f–k my body is getting like this. The closer I walked to this n–ga, I was getting weaker. He’s like ‘yo, I’m big fan man.’ I said ‘WHAT?! That’s fire.’ I just looked at him and I didn’t know what to say, I looked dumb as hell.” said Murda Mook.

Then he continued: “Peter Garvey put me on Eminem, on the Kim song. I’m hearing this song and I’m like ‘Who is this n–ga?’ My man Peter said, this is white dude. I’m like, how the f–k is he that nice?! It wasn’t that he’s white so he nice, no, he was nicer than everybody before he was white! Rap don’t got no color. He was nice from HI, MY NAME IS. If anybody know rap and rhyming, n–gas know HI KIDS, DO YOU LIKE VIOLENCE?! You can tell immediately this motherf–ker could rap.”

“What happened was, motherf–kers were scared. Cause they seen him was white and they knew he could really rhyme so n–gas were like ‘Nah, we need to campaign against cause we know he nice and we know he on the way.’ Skill don’t got no color bro. N–gas that’s inferior, when they see a n–ga that’s nicer, they get nervous bro and they try to figure out how to make you not appear as nice as you are and that’s what n–gas tried to do to Em. They tried to use him being white but him was just ridiculously nice. Him and Loaded Lux are aliens, alienation, to me.”

“When he mentioned my name in the song with Cordae, do you know what that meant to me, man? I’ve been waiting to hear that n–ga say my name on the song or something since the beginning when I first heard of him. That s–t made me feel so proud. That’s the part of the reason I was like ‘yo, I gotta get clean’. I understand his story too, even though a lot of people say he can’t relate. I always kinda related to him. Me and my mom situation, growing up it was very rocky. When I listened to him to him rhyme, I heard me. I heard a man screaming out, feeling the way I felt. And he was just nice on top of that. So I emulated Eminem. Just to hear him say my name, I could die now. He went though it. I listened to his struggles. I know about what he had to overcome and fight. And he had hundreds of millions of dollars. So, imagine his struggle. People think more money you got, more happy you are but that’s probably opposite. Shout out to Eminem and Royce 5’9″ for being a mentor to me. Shout out to Trick Trick too.” Murda Mook added. You can watch the entire interview below:

NLE Choppa shows love to Eminem, says he wants to do a song with him

NLE Choppa has recently caught up with Billboard’s Kyle Denis at R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players 2024 ceremony where the 21-year old Memphis rapper gave Eminem a shout out.

Interviewer: You recently payed homage to Eminem in your Paper magazine cover shoot. You also have previously named him on your Mount Rushmore for Hip-Hop. Would you ever hop on a track with Slim Shady?

NLE Choppa: With Slim Shady? Yeah, man. Why not. Of course. Hell yeah. He a legend.

Last year, NLE Choppa chopped it up with Nick Cannon and the Daily Cannon crew featuring Courtney Bee, Masononthemic, DJ Abby De La Rosa, and Freeze where he shared his his hip-hop Mount Rushmore: “Tupac, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne and Eminem. With Eminem, I feel like, a lot of people from my community is probably not preached upon to be an Eminem fan but I don’t think people realize the statistics of how many white people wanted to rap after him. Eminem did that.” – he said.

LL Cool J details recording process of “Murdergram Deux” with Eminem

Hip-Hop icon, LL COOL J talked about his new album, “THE FORCE,” collaborating with Eminem on the track “Murdergram Deux,” crediting Michael Jackson as a writer on the song “The FORCE,” learning to rap again, and much more during a track-by-track album special on his new SiriusXM channel, titled LL COOL J’s THE FORCE Channel.

Featuring LL COOL J’s Rock the Bells Radio host Roxanne Shanté and a live audience, “LL COOL J ‘THE FORCE’ Track-By-Track Album Special” premiered on LL COOL J’s THE FORCE Channel on Friday, September 6, at noon ET and is now available to stream on the SiriusXM app. During the show, LL went through his process working with Eminem.

“This next song is a joint I did with Eminem, it’s called ‘Murdergram Deux.’ I had a song on ‘Mama Said Knock You Out’ called ‘Murdergram’ so I said, you know what? We gon’ do a song together and when Q-Tip made the beat, I was sitting there and he was playing that beat and I was like ‘yo, Tip, this is crazy, me and Em would be crazy on this.’ He’s like ‘YEAH! Definitely big bro.’ So, I called Em and I’m like ‘yo, I think I got a joint.’ He’s like ‘sent it to me’. I sent him the song just to hear the beat, once he heard the beat and he agreed to do it then we went to the studio and what we actually did was, me and Em actually went to Dr. Dre’s studio and recorded it out in LA.” said LL Cool J.

Then he continued: “We went together in the studio. And the way the process was: I would write my rhyme. Then I would lay it. He would come in, he would hear it, I would leave. He would write his rhyme. He would record. And we went back and forth in the booth without seeing each other record until we did the very last thing together, where I kinda come together with him a little bit.” You can watch the interview below:

50 Cent reveals he cried during Eminem daughter’s wedding

50 Cent cover story has recently appeared on Haulte Living. In the interview, Fiddy revealed what he told to Eminem during Hailie’s wedding, which brought him to tears.

“I wish I had a daughter. I do. I wish I had a daughter. I wish I had that father-daughter relationship. For female children, their dad is the first man they fall in love with. Male children go to their mom; I’m a mama’s boy myself.” said 50 Cent during Haulte Living’s June Zoom session.

Then he continued: “Hailie’s wedding was unbelievable, the wildest thing for me, period. I was like, ‘Yo, bro, this is crazy. We’re getting old. Your baby is grown. What the f–k is going on?’ I was having a moment myself over there. I told Em, ‘You said it was OK to cry, because I’m crying.’ I couldn’t believe it went that fast.”

Then he explains that he’s been trying to get Eminem on tour for years, but the Detroit-born rapper was adamant that he couldn’t until Hailie had grown up: “That was the difference between my experience and Em’s. I could always go out on the road, but with Hailie, it was different. Like if she’s looking at you and she doesn’t want you to leave and you go ‘no, I’ve got to work.’ And she says but really, do you have to go?’ ‘OK, maybe I don’t have to go.’ If that was the case, things might have changed for me.”

“Em was saying that he didn’t want to go everywhere in the world where I went. I would say to him that people would pay a gazillion dollars to see us on tour together, all kinds of money to see him perform. And he still did not care about that, because the most expensive thing that we have is time, and he was conscious of being there for Hailie growing up. But now that she has officially fled the nest, it’s time. We should be on the run now; the kids are grown.” 50 Cent added.

Fif also talked about his success after signing to Eminem’s Shady Records: “I had the largest debut hip-hop album in history as I came in. I sold 13 million records, and then the Em heated up. I was blessed to have him around, because while I’m selling 13 million records of Get Rich or Die Tryin’, he’s selling 23 million records of The Marshall Mathers LP.  There was always a possibility for growth, a way to tap into something that could be even bigger. When your head gets so big that it can’t even fit through the door, you have someone around that can help balance that because they’ve had even greater success.
