Carmelo Hayes uses Eminem-inspired cover art to throw shots at Bron Breakker

Yesterday, Carmelo Hayes defeated Bron Breakker at Stand & Deliver to become WWE NXT champion for the first time ever. Before the competition, current NXT Champion hyped things with a brutal meme.

Eminem is a hip-hop icon, who influenced a generation after him. It seems that Carmelo Hayes is very familiar with Marshall Mather’s work, as the professional wrestler used one of Slim Shady’s single cover as inspiration to take shots at Bron Breakker.

Carmelo Hayes dropped an image that was inspired by Eminem’s “Killshot,” a diss-track towards Machine Gun Kelly. In the caption, he wrote: “Woke up today and chose to be undeniable.”

“Killshot” is Eminem’s response to MGK’s “RAP DEVIL,” which was in itself a response to Slim Shady’s “Not Alike” track from Kamikaze album. Marshall began targeting Machine Gun Kelly following inappropriate Twitter comments about his daughter Hailie Jade in 2012. According to the second part of the Sway interview, it was MGK’s subliminal disses during Power 106’s May 2017 “L.A. Leakers (Freestyle)” and Tech N9ne’s March 2018 track, “No Reason,” that inspired Eminem to fire back.

Coincidentally, Killshot is the name of a 2008 movie directed by John Madden, and filmed in Eminem’s hometown of Detroit, Michigan. For that reason, fan theories have suggested Eminem must have known about the film. The plot features main character Carmen Colson, who is targeted by an experienced, psychopathic hitman. Colson Baker is Machine Gun Kelly’s official government name.

Macklemore says him & Eminem are guests in hip-hop

Macklemore has recently appeared on CBS Morning promote his new album, titled “Ben” which include features from NLE Choppa and Dj Premiere among others.

A short clip from the upcoming interview was shared by Macklemore himself where the host asked him how he looks at being a white rapper in a predominantly black genre on which he replied:

“I think it is true [that I’m the guest in hip-hop]. It is true and I agree. If you look at the origin of where hip-hop came from and what was happening in New York City, what was happening in the Bronx, and the way black people and people of color have been treated historically in America from the jump, this was the music that was birthed out of oppression.” said Macklemore.

Then he continues: Hip-Hop is inclusive so there’s always been an open door to a certain extent. But I’m a guest, Em [Eminem] is a guest. Doesn’t matter how good we get. Doesn’t matter how great Eminem is. We’re guests in the culture. Hundred percent. And that’s not to say that I don’t belong here… I absolutely belong here. But you still have to realize this is not your house. You’re a guest! Take Your shoes off and help with some dishes.”

Kurupt responds to Melle Mel comments about Eminem

Kurupt has recently sat down with The Art Of Dialogue where the legendary rapper responded to Melle Mel of Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five saying Eminem is only considered a top 5 rapper of all time because he’s white.

“That’s his opinion. That’s not our opinion though. The way Dr. Dre took Eminem subject matter wise is one thing. The way Eminem rock, he’s a battle rapper and he is hip-hop no matter what color he is. Dr. Dre took him in this way so that has no bearing on his skill. His skill is renowned.” said Kurupt.

Then he continues: “That’s Melle Mel’s feel on it. Melle Mel is an icon of hip-hop. Melle Mel is speaking from his perspective, from hip-hop’s perspective. Billboard is speaking from Billboard’s perspective, which is a hit perspective. If you can make into the Billboard, you are successful. So that’s a successful list. There is no bearing of skill. Now, Melle Mel has his opinion but remember, he is hip-hop. The original hip-hop so Melle speaks from that standpoint.”

“For my generation, Eminem is our monster. His color is irrelevant. Melle Mel does have a point about Eminem being white, he might got away with lots of things, like, him talking about all these different artists. And not having the backlash to where he’s blackballed. But white has nothing to do with his skills. But yeah, he got away with lot of things, s–t, we got away with lots of things once we became successful. Once you are successful, you can do whatever the f–k you want and the game accepts it because they get money off of it. My generation, we really do not agree with Melle Mel. But hey, it’s good to agree or disagree, you know.” – Kurupt added.

You can watch the interview below:

Those who don’t know, Kurupt is one of the rappers Eminem shouted out on “Till I Collapse” with Nate Dogg from The Eminem Show album: “I got a list, here’s the order of my list that it’s in / It goes Reggie, Jay-Z, 2Pac and Biggie / Andre from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me.”

Millyz says he grew up listening Benzino but Eminem’s his favorite rapper

Millyz has recently sat down with Bootleg Kev where the Cambridge, Massachusetts-born rapper talked about Eminem and Benzino.

“I did grow up listening to Benzino. I went to school in Boston. I’m from Cambridge but I went to school in Charlestown. When I’m 14, or something around there, I think that’s when I believe the Eminem and Benzino beef was happening. I know different facts than other people. I know Benzino and them really in the streets beat people up. It’s crazy cause when you have different understanding of somebody. I always felt like if fans knew my real real real real real life, they would love me twenty times more.” said Millyz.

Then he continues: “Even though Benzino’s raps were not the illest s–t in the world, I believed certain s–t. It’s more like you got a friend hanging out and he is a killer but is not like a real rapper but when he raps he’s rapping killing and s–t, it’s hard cause you believe him.”

“So, I will say that I listened to some Benzino but Em was my favorite though. I was like 90 percent Eminem and like 10 percent Benzino. But I would not just go against Benzino cause he’s still from 6-1-7.”

“My favorite Eminem album is The Eminem Show. ‘Say Goodbye To Hollywood’ man! I’mma tell you. He said some of the illest, intricate raps ever on The Slim Shady LP but he got so introspective on TES. From rapping perspective, Slim Shady LP is crazy. But The Eminem Show is incredible cause how introspective he got and s–t.”

“I’m not sure if Eminem knows me. I’m not sure. I feel like he do. I feel like I’m on Drake’s radar. Hopefully I’m on Em’s radar too cause I bodied a lot of Eminem beats. I bodied a lot of Drake beats.” Millyz added.

In case you missed it, Millyz has recently released “Tonight” single, his re-make of Eminem’s iconic song “Stan,” featuring Dido.

Gizelle Bryant shades Eminem during WWHL

According to documents obtained by Page Six magazine, last month, Eminem filed an opposition against Robyn Dixon and Gizelle Bryant trademark application for “Reasonably Shady,” the name of their podcast.

In the documents, Marshall Mathers says he believes his brand will be “damaged” if the “Real Housewives of Potomac” stars are issued the trademark for their broadcast. He also said “Reasonably Shady” can “cause confusion in the minds of consumers,” who have known him by his monikers Slim Shady and Shady since the late ’90s.

Earlier this month, Page Six revealed that Bryant and Robyn Dixon are fighting back against Eminem’s motion to block their trademark application. Based on a court docs, the “Real Housewives of Potomac” stars asked for Eminem’s opposition to be denied.

Yesterday, during the recent episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Gizelle Bryant threw a shade to Eminem by implying that nobody searches for Slim Shady today: “He says that people will confuse, when they look for Reasonably Shady they get confused the thing that they are looking for Eminem. Who is searching for Eminem?! I don’t know. No shade but shade. We are still in talks, going back and forth but we are preserving.”

Fans were quick to reply in the comments. One user said: “She should really check analytics because the answer to her question is embarrassing for her.” Another commented: “Who is searching for the man who has 1Oscar, 15 Grammies, 1 Emmy = EGO. Who performed at the SuperBowl, who was inducted at the RnR Hall of Fame in 2022. Who has more than 67 m listeners on Spotify.” Someone shared a screenshot of the article that says Eminem was in top 3 most searched artist in Wikipedia of all time.

Payroll weighs in on Icewear Vezzo calling out Eminem

Payroll Giovanni has recently sat down with Adam22 on No Jumper podcast where the young Detroit rapper shared his thoughts about his fellow hip-hop artist Icewear Vezzo calling out Eminem for not paying attention to his hometown’s young generation.

Back in 2020, during the conversation with HipHopDX, Vezzo said: “We were never in touch with Eminem. In the hood, in our ghettos and s–t, back when he first came out yeah, Eminem was like a hero for us. So we expected to see him, to be able to touch him, and we’re like ‘yeah we got somebody that got out from Detroit. This about to go down, he opened the gates up.’ But it didn’t go that way. We always wanted Em to play the position that Royce Da 5’9″ played but he doesn’t, so he’s not a hero for us no more. Royce Da 5’9″ is like the president of the Marshall Mathers Foundation, and he’s from the hood. You’re able to see him, he going to come out. He f–ked with ni–as and he reached out, he checked on us, he’d pull up to the studio, he’d pull up to the club. We can call and he pulling right up. Royce the real OG man.”

Laster year, Vezzo chopped it up with Charlamagne on Breakfast Club where he explained that people misunderstood what he said about Eminem: “At the end of the day, it was misunderstanding. As a fan, I love Eminem music. I grew up listening to Eminem when I was shorty. I got real love for Royce. One thing about Royce is, he’s always show love to us, always supports us. He always shouted out. He does everything he can to help us out. He really do. I can’t take that away from Royce. But s–t, it is what it is. We don’t know Eminem. We don’t know hommie. I don’t know anybody that ever met him. Ever seen him. “I think Royce and Em kinda get impression that we feel like homies owe us something. But it’s not that. Everything ain’t always about a favor or money. I think they taking it wrong way. We just saying, you are legend! you are GOAT. You are big! Bro, we are you! We want to see! Can we get knowledge?! Can we get some gang? Can we get some motherf–king motivation?! Anything. That’s what we all asking for. We are not speaking from the standpoint as like ‘bro you gotta sign us. You owe us some money.’ We are not saying that way and I believe Royce and Em may be taking it that way. So it is a big misunderstanding.”

Yesterday, Payroll shared his thoughts on the matter: “I don’t know man. That’s his business. I f–ed with Eminem growing up. He had everybody proud. Damn, he from the D! He was going! He was with Dr. Dre! I ain’t looking at it like he supposed to put us on.”

Logic compares his new album to Eminem’s movie

In the latest episode of STORY TIME, Logic revealed that his new album titled College Park kind of takes inspiration from Eminem‘s 2002 blockbuster film, 8 Mile.

“My album College Park takes place in 2011, with me and all my homies on our way to Open Mic Night in Washington DC, in the shenanigans that we get in along the way.” said Logic.

Then he continues: “It’s like 8 Mile, expect it’s an album, expect it’s not B-Rabbit, it’s B-Racial. It’s a good album and I think you guys are really going to like it.”

Released on February 24, 2023, College Park boasts guest appearances from Joey Bada$$, Bun B, Redman, Norah Jones, Statik Selektah and Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, among others.

The project marked Logic’s first independent album after parting ways with Def Jam back in 2022. In the United States, the album debuted at No. 21 on the Billboard 200 charts, selling 17,884 copies in its first week of release.

Up next, the Maryland rapper is hitting the road alongside Juicy J as part of the College Park Tour, which kicks off in Madison, Wisconsin on May 25, 2023.
