Lil Tjay references Eminem in his “Many Men (50 Cent)” freestyle

During an attempted robbery Lil Tjay was shot seven times last year, and after his sensational recovery he received some good advice from 50 Cent.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Lil Tjay recalled that, after physically getting better, he received a phone call from Fifty, who was calling from his private jet at the time.

“Every artist needs pain or something to feed off of. This right here, you shake this s–t off. You got the length for greatness. You going to be bigger than ever.” This would make Tjay feel much better as 50 Cent is no stranger to overcoming injuries from getting shot. The former Shady Records artist was shot nine times back in 2000.

After leaving the hospital, Tjay dropped a remix of 50 Cent’s classic song “Many Men” from his debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin’ which is produced by Eminem. The song is “FACESHOT” and Tjay he channels the G-Unit general’s bulletproof defiance by addressing the culprit who almost killed him, by referencing Eminem and his 2010 Billboard No. 1 hit song “Not Afraid,” from Recovery album.

“I know many men out there wanna get me, tell ’em bend again/ Never on no scary s–t, Not Afraid like Eminem/ Singin’ ni–a, but you sleep on me that be your flaw/ Lettin’ me live that was stupid, must think one plus two is four,” he rapped.

Busta Rhymes shows massive respect to Eminem

An icon recognizes an icon! Busta Rhymes salutes Eminem in his latest social media post.

East Flatbush, New York-born legend has recently hit Instagram to show love to Detroit legend by sharing their in-studio picture from 2014. In the caption, he writes:

“I know I am Super late on this but I gotta Salute one of my favorite MCs to ever touch the microphone and congratulate him on his Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction!! Eminem, Well deserved and Don’t Stop Ever King!!”

Back in November 5, 2022, Eminem got inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame by Dr. Dre in his first year of eligibility. Slim Shady celebrated his induction with a career-spanning medley featuring several special guests. The Detroit legend opened the show with brief snippet of his signature 1999 smash, “My Name Is,” before abruptly jumping to 2013’s “Rap God,” with its plethora of lyrical acrobatics. Eminem then welcomed Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler to the stage, enlisting the frontman to belt the “Dream On” hook that anchors his 2002 The Eminem Show track “Sing for the Moment.” Ed Sheeran was the next guest on stage, who played guitar and sang the hook for “Stan” (the original song samples Dido’s “Thank You”).

Eminem and Busta Rhymes have made four songs together. “Calm Down” (2014), “I’ll Hurt You” (2005), “Hail Mary” (2003) with 50 Cent and performed “Touch It” remix at 2006 BET Awards with Mary J. Blige, Rah Digga, Missy Elliot, Lloyd Banks, Papoose and DMX.

Almighty Suspect explains why Jay-Z doesn’t have bigger impact than Eminem

Following 50 Cent, Los Angeles rapper and No Jumper host Almighty Suspect is another artist who disagrees former NBA player Jamal Crawford saying Jay-Z has bigger impact on hip-hop than Eminem albums sales will ever have.

During the conversation with Shaquille O’Neal on his new podcast called The Big Podcast, Crawford drew the parallel to hip-hop to rank his top five NBA players of all time and used Eminem and JAY-Z’s impact as an example.

“In my top five, the dominance outweighs the number. You can not change the game and say this person has more points than me, he is better. It is beyond that. Jay-Z’s affect on hip-hop is bigger than any album sales Eminem will have. That is just how it goes.” Crawford said.

Jamal Crawford’s statement sparked lots of discussions in social media and 50 Cent also weighed in. The Hip-Hop Wolf Instagram page posted Crawford’s interview and asked fans if they agree to the statement or not. Under the comment section, Fifty replied: “Ha, bulls–t.” with Sneezing Face emoji.

Today, the topic has been discussed in No Jumper podcast, where Almighty Suspect denied Crawford’s statement: “Bro, I can name like six Eminem clones right now. Hopsin, DAX, Logic, MGK, that white McDonald dude that white dude who’s is making If-I-Was-Black songs. Joyner Lucas is one of them too. That’s the six. I’m not naming rappers that look like Eminem. I’m naming rappers who are actual clones of Eminem. I just named six. Tell me, name me, six Jay-Z clones.” said Suspect.

Then he continues: “I’m not saying Eminem’s impact is better or worse but it’s large! It has to be acknowledged and I don’t even like Eminem like whatsoever. I think Jay-Z’s impact on rap is bigger outside of rap. More entrepreneur s–t. In the business aspect, hell yeah. But if we talking about just rap, bro, all Jay-Z does is f–king quote Biggie lines. F–k we talking about ni–a. His effect, I get it, because he’s definitely one of the GOATs, one of the greatest rappers alive in people’s eyes. To me, one of the greatest artist is Wayne. Jay-Z’s impact in hip-hop, what are we saying? Like, what? Where? Besides being a business mogul.”

“Eminem does have a lot of numbers but he also has a big impact on rap bro. You know how many motherf–kers trying to imitate him? Ni–as do that all day. It’s not like eight of them. It’s millions of them.” Suspect added.

50 Cent responds to Jamal Crawford saying JAY-Z has bigger impact than Eminem

50 Cent does not believe JAY-Z has had a bigger impact on hip-hop culture than Eminem.

Few days ago, former NBA player Jamal Crawford visited Shaquille O’Neal on his new podcast called The Big Podcast.  During the conversation, Crawford drew the parallel to hip-hop to rank his top five NBA players of all time and used Eminem and JAY-Z’s impact as an example.

“In my top five, the dominance outweighs the number. You can not change the game and say this person has more points than me, he is better. It is beyond that. Jay-Z’s affect on hip-hop is bigger than any album sales Eminem will have. That is just how it goes.” Crawford said during the interview.

One user commented: “If the impact is so strong to the level he says it is, why don’t the numbers match it? Jay-Z fans love to talk about his money in reference to being the GOAT but when someone out preforms him like Eminem, then they move the goal post lol Eminem can do an 80,000 venue by HIMSELF, can Jay? How’s that for impact.

While another replied: “Eminem is a better rapper than Jay-Z though when it comes to skills and his pen game is better!!! I also think Nas is better also when it comes to skills and his pen game.”

About a month ago, 50 Cent talked about Eminem not getting the credit he deserves: “I don’t think that they give Em the credit that he deserves. Because, in order for people to embrace something, they have to see where they fit in. I think part of Eminem’s legacy is the growth of our culture. People wouldn’t buy it if they didn’t see where they fit into it. And he’s there and he’s a legitimate artist because of his journey. When you look at 8 Mile, you’re seeing a Black story with a white lead. You seeing poverty, you’re seeing similar circumstances. Look at his friends Proof and D12 and everybody: these are real hip hop guys. Which is why he’s a real hip hop guy.”

Peter Gunz talks trying to get Cory Gunz signed to Eminem, reveals Eminem is still their dream collab

Peter Gunz from Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz hip-hop duo, who released their debut album back in 1996, has recently sat down with Math Hoffa where the The Bronx, New York-rapper revealed that he was trying his best to get his son Cory Gunz signed to Eminem‘s Shady Records.

Cory Gunz who is currently signed to After Platinum Records, Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records, and Universal Republic Records also revealed that Eminem is still his dream collaboration.

“Cory was raised on LL, Rakim, Kane, KRS-One, Redman, Jay-Z, Biggie, Nas. He only heard that and I would give him those patters and gave him like a homework. Go write like that, do this, do that. I would give him sprinkle of everything. Little bit of Slick Rick, little bit of De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, Busta, I wanted him to get full package. And then this rapper came along called Eminem and his patterns intrigued Cory and the rest is history.” said Peter Gunz.

Later in the interview, Peter continues: “I’m still a fan of Eminem. Yeah he may not be the same if he was black I get when people say that. He says it himself but that does not take away from him being incredible. Sometimes he says some s**t we can’t relate to but he also says meaningful stuff. He’s incredible to me. In my humble opinion, I think Eminem is incredible.”

“I met with Paul Rosenberg. I was really trying to get Cory next to Eminem. I even tapped the producers just to get next to Eminem, even if I didn’t want the beat. It was Mr. Porter but beat was fire. I felt like, if we get the beat from him and Cory rapped on he would play it for Eminem and that’s maybe set it up. That was my thinking of to try get him over there. It never panned out that way but things happen the way it supposed to happen.” Peter added.

Then Cory continues: “I wanted to work with Shady Records and to this day still I do. Cory and Eminem, that’ would be a dream come true. Shout out to Royce too.”

Peter adds: “That would be like me getting a song with Prince. That would be something on my bucket list if that happened before I die. Even before my own dreams, to get Eminem and Cory on a record or hear them rhyming together would be a dream come true because Cory one of the ones that can hang with him in my humble opinion.”

Jamal Crawford: “Jay-Z’s effect on rap is bigger than any albums sales Eminem will ever have”

In the latest episode of TNT Tuesday Night show, Jamal Crawford, Shaquille O’Neal and Spice Adams spoke about LeBron James’ marching towards breaking record hold by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, dicey situation of Golden State Warriors in the league and the NBA world as a whole.

During one segment of the episode, Crawford asked Turner to name her top five players of all time. Following her response, Shaq and Crawford weighed in with their choices. This resulted in a debate that silenced the Big Aristotle.

Both Crawford and Turner named Shaq as one of their top five, but both did not name him in the top two category. When Turner emphasized her choices, Shaq thanked her for thinking of him and replied: “Thank you for thinking of me but there is no need to waste your energy.”

Basketball is undoubtedly a game of numbers. However, Crawford believes that the dominance and influence of a player on the game weigh more than any number or stat. He explained this by drawing a parallel with the rap game. Jamal Crawford said: “ The dominance outweighs the numbers…Like, Jay-Z’s effect on hip hop is bigger than any album sales that Eminem will have. That’s how it goes.”

Shaq gave a nod by saying: “That’s a good point.”

Trisha Paytas reacts to her & Eminem video resurfacing

The singer and OnlyFans model, Trisha Paytas, parodied Jessica Simpson’s role in the 2005 action comedy road film The Dukes of Hazzard remake for Eminem’s second single “We Made You” from Relapse album, released in 2009.

Upon its release, the music video raised eyebrows with its impersonation of major newsmakers at the time, including Paytas as Simpson, adult-film star Lisa Ann as Sarah Palin and RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Derrick Barry who is famed as a Britney Spears impersonator.

A Twitter fan-page that is dedicated to 2000s pop culture shared the clip with the caption: “Eminem was such a menace because how you open a song with ‘jessica simpson, sing the chorus’ and Trisha Paytas appears.”

Many fans replied and Paytas also weighed in on the tweet, saying her cameo made her an “icon.” She said: “I will always be an icon thanks to this music videos. 14 years later and it’s still going viral.”

It’s not the first time Paytas has spoken about the impact appearing in Eminem’s video has had on her career. Back in 2014, in an interview with The Sun magazine, she told the interviewer: “I totally owe Eminem for giving me my start. This video opened up so many doors for me at 20.”

In one of her TikTok videos, she also revealed how good person Eminem is behind the scenes: “Behind the scenes, Eminem, he was very fun. And just like all over the place, and just like a ball of energy but once it turned off, like behind the scenes, he was like, ‘Hi, thanks for doing this.’ I remember Marshall, being like ‘Oh my gosh, you look better than the real Jessica Simpson, don’t be self-conscious. He was an insanely nice person.”

Tierra Whack says Eminem is STILL best rapper ever

Philadelphia-born rapper and singer Tierra Whack has recently hit Twitter to show love to Eminem. “Eminem still the best rapper ever whether you can relate to him or not!” she tweeted.

This is not the first time Tierra showed respect to Slim Shady. Couple of years ago, the Interscope artist who received widespread critical acclaim through her debut album ‘Whack Worlds’, shared the Eminem battle rap clip from his 2002 movie ‘8 Mile,‘ with the caption: “Top 5!”

The Philly artist hasn’t yet followed up “Whack World” with a new solo studio project, but since then, she has been named a XXL Freshman, appeared on Beyonce’s “The Lion King: The Gift” album, collaborated with Alicia Keys on “Me x 7”, jumped on a track with Lil Yachty, ASAP Rocky and Tyler, the Creator and put on some incredible performances.
