Hailie shares her reaction to Eminem’s “Somebody Save Me” video

In her latest episode of Just A Little Shady podcast, Hailie shared her reaction of his father Eminem releasing the music video of “Somebody Save Me,” featuring Jelly Roll, the third single from The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace) album. She also shared her thoughts on “Temporary” song, featuring Skylar Grey, which is also dedicated to her.

In the music video of “Somebody Save Me,” Eminem is on the outside looking in watching his three children replay precious moments from their lives that he missed out on due to his demanding career and struggle with addiction. Home video footage of Hailie Jade playing the guitar at a recital, walking across the stage for graduation and blowing out birthday candles; Alaina’s graduation; Stevie opening presents; and brother Nate during the holidays play throughout the hard-hitting clip, bringing Em to his knees seeking forgiveness from above.

During the podcast, Hailie said: “Speaking of things I watched this past week, which I refused to watch again, is “Somebody Save Me” music video. I watch it in entirety and I don’t think I can do it again. I definitely cried.”

Shen then continued: “Between that and ‘Temporary’…I mean, I can’t…I audibly sobbed, I think for both songs, but especially ‘Temporary,’ but I will say, watching the video back and listening to the songs, I feel like my parents did such a good job, growing up, where I didn’t realize how bad things were. But now, as an adult, in hindsight, it’s so scary to think about and I think that’s why I get emotional so much. Just thinking that this could have happened. And obviously that’s the point of the song but I will say that if you’ve ever lost an addict or a loved one, I feel for you… It’s a great video. It’s fun to see clips of us when we were younger like that, even ‘Mockingbird.’ But I can’t even listen to that anymore without crying. The older I get the less I can listen to any of these songs. But it is fun to see those clips not in that context.”

Steve Miller background story of Eminem sampling “Abracadabra” on “Houdini”

Legendary Steve Miller has recently done an interview on The San Diego Union Tribune where he talked about how his collaboration with Eminem come about.

Rock & Roll Hall of Famer didn’t have to think twice about collaborating with Detroit icon and fellow Rock Hall inductee Eminem, whose recent chart-topping song, “Houdini,” heavily interpolates Miller’s 1982 hit, “Abracadabra,” and was streamed more than 355 million times on Spotify to date. Check out the conversation below.

Interviewer: When you play “Abracadabra,” do you tell the audience about Eminem sampling it for his song, “Houdini?”
Steve Miller: Yeah. I tell a little story about putting the song together, we vamp a bit and then go into it. I feel really great that Eminem used “Abracadabra.” It’s a good use of it!

Interviewer: How did that come about?
Steve Miller: He called that he’d like to use “Abracadabra.” He said: “I’ve written a bunch of verses and we’ve done a track. I’ll send it to you.” I listened to it, called him back, and said: Yeah, that’s fine, man. It’s great! And if you want, I’ll send you the stems (individual audio files).” So, I sent him my actual recorded stems for “Abracadabra” so he could work with them.

Then, I got a lesson about what social media has done to the record business. When I put out “Abracadabra” in 1982, it became the No. 1 record in the world and that took about 12 months. With Eminem, two days after we signed our agreement, he released “Houdini” at 12:01 a.m. on a Friday. Within 30 minutes, 60,000 people had watched the video on YouTube. By 10 a.m. it was 3 million. Nearly 50 million people streamed it, worldwide, in just the first week.

I’d never seen anything like that. It was crazy, just instantly. So, that was a real lesson. And Eminem was very cool. I put out a little release (saying) I appreciated that it was legit. It feels good that a whole other group of people are listening to my music (through Eminem) and digging it.

Icewear Vezzo comments on Skilla Baby saying Eminem is not considered GOAT in Detroit

Icewear Vezzo has recently sat down with Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy and Jess Hilarious on The Breakfast Club where he talked about Eminem and commented on Skilla Baby saying streets in Detroit don’t consider Eminem as one of the greatest rapper of all time.

“I never wanted to speak against Eminem publicly, ever. But I just couldn’t contain my thoughts and how I felt. And I feel like I do so much for the city, I do so much for the community that I grew up in and he grew up in and a lot of people grew up in and that support don’t be there from certain artist, especially people like Em. Hommie’s a megastar. And I know what them kids get out of seeing me and Peezy, seeing me Sada and Skilla, I knwo they get out of seeing us, being able to talk to them, I know the type of motivation that come from that. And I just felt like, I wished hommies would have did that with us. I never been a guy that’s be like ‘Em ain’t did nothing to put nobody on from the city.’ He don’t owe nobody nothing, absolutely nothing, at all. And respectfully, he did what he needed to do. He did that for his era. When Em was our age…If it was not for Em, there would be no Proof. There wouldn’t be a D12. It wouldn’t be Royce Da 5’9″. He did what he had to do. We just admire everything about Em so much and he inspired us so much, I just think we’d appreciate more if we could have met him early on and got some knowledge, got some game, got some type of insight. I don’t understand how I met and locked in with 50 Cent who was from Queens before I met Eminem.” said Icewear Vezzo.

Then he continued: “Me and Em, we literally bumped to each other [at 50 Cent’s show]. It’s all good. I rock with 50 the long way. He a real one. Meeting Em was mad awkward but I was like ‘hey bro, it’s all love, I respect you bro, ain’t nothing like that. I feel how I feel.’ He like ‘I see what you doing’ bla bla bla. We kept it moving. Em don’t owe anybody nothing, man. We gotta leave him alone, man.”

Then Charlamagne asked about Skilla Baby saying most people from his generation wouldn’t consider Eminem the GOAT. “That’s true. That’s how it is. Why should that be a problem, man? Them youngers ain’t listening to that. They listen to most street artists in Detroit. Em got a fanbase. He got his fanbase. He got people that like that kind of music and the music that he makes it’s a way bigger audience to it so if I was him, I wouldn’t even care if certain audience don’t listen to me anyway because I got way bigger audience. But it was true what Skilla said. He got some flack for that too, didn’t he? I don’t understand, it’s true, it’s what it is.”

“Put it like this, is the youngest in New York listening to JAY-Z? Probably not. It’s a same scenario. It’s a generational gap. It’s all good. The youngest in Detroit don’t really understand JAY-Z. They don’t get it. They don’t care about that music either.” Icewear Vezzo added. You can watch the interview below:

Fans are disappointed with Eminem for promoting BetterHelp in “Somebody Save Me” video

Eminem premiered the new music video for “Somebody Save Me,” featuring Jelly Roll, third single from his new album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce) on YouTube yesterday.

The cut explores the Detroit hip-hop icon’s strained relationships while dealing with drug addiction, a heart-wrenching exploration of an alternate reality in which he died before his daughter Alaina’s graduation. “Alaina, I’ll be there in a minute, I promise,” Eminem raps in the somber track, which deals with heavy themes ranging from addiction to depression.

Then at the end of the music video comes a strange twist: an affiliate link promising a free month of therapy at BetterHelp, a mental health and online counseling services platform that has been embroiled in controversy for years now, as Polygon documented in detail back in 2018.

Unsurprisingly, many fans were left unimpressed by the inclusion. “I wish Em did more research on BetterHelp before advertising it, really not a good service,” one user wrote in a post on Reddit. “BetterHelp is terrible, sad to see that he’s advertising it,” another fan wrote. Someone said: “I don’t like betterhelp, the data selling is one problem (thankfully there are ways to prevent this) and their approach to commercialized therapy leaves a bad taste in my mouth. That being said, one free month for someone on the fence or someone who isn’t in a spot financially to take the risk of trying it out for the first time might not be such a bad thing. Do I wish it was more involved with a different service? sure, but also, this could still help a lot of people despite the bs with betterhelp. That being said, my suggestion? take the free month to familiarize yourself with the intake process and just to get a vibe of what it’s like, cancel the membership then go find yourself a real therapist, potentially one you can physically meet.”

BetterHelp’s track record has been called into question for years. Most notably last year, the Federal Trade Commission found that BetterHelp “broke its privacy promises,” handing over “sensitive health information through unavoidable prompts.” That’s despite promising its users that they can “rest assured” that “any information provided in this questionnaire will stay private between you and your counselor.”

According to the FTC, BetterHelp broke its confidentiality promises by selling health information of over seven million consumers to the likes of Facebook, Snapchat, and Pinterest for advertising purposes. In May, the embattled company agreed to pay $7.8 million to settle the regulator’s allegations, but has maintained that the move wasn’t an admission of wrongdoing. (Neither BetterHelp nor Eminem responded to a request for comment.)

The company offers relatively affordable online counseling sessions, often undercutting mainstream prices. Whether clients are getting quality mental health care, though, remains debatable. [VIA: Yeahoo.com]

Eminem and Jelly Roll joined forces for the first time on The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)‘s album closer track titled “Somebody Save Me.” Just over a month later, the duo bring their vision to life with a poignant visuals, which arrived few hours ago.

Home video footage of Hailie Jade playing the guitar at a recital, walking across the stage for graduation and blowing out birthday candles; Alaina’s graduation; Stevie opening presents; and brother Nate during the holidays play throughout the hard-hitting clip, bringing Eminem to his knees seeking forgiveness from above.

The Detroit legend lets his anger out on a sleeping version of himself before being lowered into a casket with his tearful family surrounding him. An extended portion of Hailie Jade’s guitar recital performance brings the emotional rollercoaster to a finish.

Aside showing love to his kids, Eminem shouts out his brother, Nathan Kane Mathers with the following lines: “wait, Nate, I should just congratulate you / On bein’ a dad to Carter and Liam, look at you / Little bro, sorry I left you / Sorry that I’ll never get to / Hold or hug my little nephews.”

After sharing the video snippet on his Instagram, Nathan Kane replied under the comment section, saying: “Nailed it Beautifully done Big Bro! We love you.” You can check the screenshot of the comment below:

Eminem drops music video of “Somebody Save Me” ft. Jelly Roll

Eminem releases the music video for “Somebody Save Me,” featuring Jelly Roll, second single from his 12th solo studio album, The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace). The video includes a lot of old footage, including never before seen footage of Hailie playing on the guitar.

“Somebody Save Me,” featuring Jelly Roll, produced by ​benny blanco, Emile Haynie and Eminem himself, is a closing track off Eminem’s 12th solo studio album, The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace) on which Marshall delves into his addiction to prescription medication, a battle that nearly claimed his life due to an overdose in 2007. The song portrays “an alternate reality” where Eminem never got clean off drugs, and as a result, missed many milestones in his family. This song is thematically similar to “Arose,” the last song off of Em’s album Revival, in which he also addresses his drug addiction and its impact on his loved ones.

The lyrics of “Somebody Save Me” are about Eminem’s relationship with his family during his past drug addiction, and are written from the perspective of an alternate reality where he died before his daughter Hallie’s graduation. The song opens up with a recording of one of his children, Alaina, begging him to eat dinner which he denies. All three verse of the songs are dedicated to one of his kids, namely Alaina, Hallie, and Stevie, apologizing for his addiction disrupting the family. He openly regrets not being able to be a proper father, saying he “[doesn’t] even deserve the father title.” After the songs intro and in-between each verse, a snippet of Jelly Roll’s “Save Me” plays, where he says “somebody save me, me from myself” among other parts of the original song after each verse.

Even though the song was not released or announced as a single before, it debuted at No. 27 on US Billboard Hot 100. After sampling the song, Jelly Roll’s original song “Save Me” was also back into the top charts.

Few days after the release of the album, Jelly Roll took to Instagram where he posted a picture of alongside Eminem with the caption: “I always say my childhood hero’s lived somewhere between Willie Nelson and Eminem. As a teenager (and still today) I could recite every song on the Slim Shady album, the Marshal Mathers album and the Eminem show. When I bonded out of jail at 17 years old and was sneaking into cyphers and battles in Nashville they would also play the “lose yourself” beat when I came out on stage at the freestyle battles. I related to every word Eminem wrote. I understand him and felt like he understood me, which was rare cause I spent most of my life feeling misunderstood. So you can imagine how I felt when I got that the call that Eminem would be sampling my song “Save Me” on his new album. And for him to use the song to discuss the other side of what could’ve happened if he would’ve allowed his demons to win brought me to tears. If you haven’t heard it yet , check out “Somebody Save Me” on Eminem’s new album “the death of slim shady” special shout out to Paul Rosenberg , you’ve been nothing but kind to me and treated me like family and gave me opportunities I didn’t deserve, forever grateful.”

Eminem to release “Somebody Save Me” music video, ft. Jelly Roll

Official YouTube channel of Eminem set the premiere date for “Somebody Save Me” music video for August 21, 2024. The post appeared couple of hour ago but it was removed few minutes later, for unknown reasons.

“Somebody Save Me,” featuring Jelly Roll, produced by ​benny blanco, Emile Haynie and Eminem himself, is a closing track off Eminem’s 12th solo studio album, The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace) on which Marshall delves into his addiction to prescription medication, a battle that nearly claimed his life due to an overdose in 2007.

Juvenile and Mannie Fresh react to Eminem sampling their song on new album

Juvenile and Mannie Fresh have recently sat down with DJ Drewski for an interview where they talked about Cash Money reunion tour, how Lil Wayne got on Back That Azz Up and artists like Eminem still sampling their records.

“Shout out to Eminem. He just used some ‘Ha.’ We can’t do nothing with this songs sitting down. We can’t make no money with these songs just sitting on. So, I applaud the artist, especially the artist that’s really good at it, that got talent.” said Juvenile.

“I think it’s a biggest homage anybody could pay to you when it’s credible artist, somebody like Em uses your song. That’s like ‘wow,’ you know! It’s incredible because it’s like you sitting down in barber shop and we talking and you can stick your chest out an be like Eminem ever rap any of your beats. When I heard Eminem song with ‘Ha,’ he did Juvenile flow, I was just like ‘OH, S–T!'” said Mannie Fresh.

“Em is my dude. Because when my career started, Em was one of them guys that reached out and he showed us love in the beginning so yeah, he’s my guy. But man, I didn’t expect that! We knew it was coming out but I didn’t hear it until it was released.” Juvenile added.

Eminem sampled Juvenile’s “Ha!” song on “Road Rage,” featuring Dem Jointz and Sly Pyper, produced by Dem Jointz, Dr. Dre and Eminem himself, from The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace) album. The 10th track on the alum is satirical take on modern society, addressing issues of identity, political correctness, and the current “beauty standards” as well as obesity. Sly Pyper’s chorus further voices the ensuing simmering aggression and the symbolic “road rage” that comes with this sociopolitical climate and the need to conform to these norms. The interlude also features an argument between Eminem and his alter ego, Slim Shady, which highlights the internal conflict between his reflective, socially aware side and the rebellious provocateur within. Em interpolates Juvenile’s flow at the end of the song.

Eminem has been replaced on Billboard’s Top Rap Albums chart after nearly one month at No. 1

Eminem released his 12th solo studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) a little more than a month ago. Since then, the album has been performing greatly on the charts, especially in the Detroit legends home country, the United States and let’s not forget, the United Kingdom. Eminem’s new project had been running the show on several Billboard charts for weeks, but after a notable reign, it has finally come to an end.

The Death of Slim Shady has been forced from the top spot on two of Billboard’s albums tallies. This frame, the set slips from No. 1 to No. 2 on both the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts. Marshall Mathers steps aside as Vultures 2, the latest collaborative album from Ty Dolla $ign and Kanye West debuts at No. 1. The LP marks the second successful project from the two hip-hop artist, and, for the moment, it’s running the show on the genre-specific tallies that The Death of Slim Shady previously dominated.

Ye and $ign debut their new set at No. 2 on the US Billboard 200 charts losing out to Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department on both of those lists. On the Top Streaming Albums chart, the Vultures sequel launches at No. 6. Vultures 2 scored Ye’s second-lowest first week sales with 107,000 album-equivalent units. These units consisted of 46,000 streaming-equivalent units, 60,500 pure album sales, and 500 track-equivalent units. The album also accumulated a total of 50.44 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs.

The Death of Slim Shady, meanwhile, slips slightly on two of those charts. Eminem’s new full-length dips to No. 10 on the Top Streaming Albums list and No. 11 on the Billboard 200 this frame.  Eminem did manage to conquer the Billboard 200 the week that The Death of Slim Shady first arrived, while Ye and $ign failed to do so. Vultures 2 marks the end of Kanye West’s winning streak on that chart, as his last 11 projects released under his name have all reached the summit on the competitive roster.

In the coming weeks–and perhaps even in just a few days–Eminem could return to No. 1 on some of Billboard’s hip-hop-leaning tallies. The Death of Slim Shady has real staying power, as it’s already racked up several turns atop multiple lists, and fans are still listening and physical copies are scheduled to hit the stores in September.

Since the release of Eminem’s The Death Of Slim Shady album, many tried to take the crow on the Rap Charts but failed. As a result, some of the rap’s most anticipated albums debuted at No. 2 or lower, including Childish Gambino’s Bando Stone & the New World and Ice Spice’s Y2K!.

Grafh explains why he choses Eminem over Busta Rhymes, shows love to Royce 5’9″

In one of the recent episodes of Drink Champs, Grafh and Memphis Bleek dive deep into their careers in hip hop. From Grafh’s early days with Black Hand and his near-signing to Roc-A-Fella, to Bleek’s experiences as a core member of the iconic label, the duo share never-before heard stories. They discuss Grafh’s alleged beef with 50 Cent, his ghostwriting for J.Lo, and his fight with Busta Rhymes. The conversation also touches on the importance of lyricism in hip hop, the impact of the Griselda movement, and the legacy of Chaz Williams. Grafh opens up about industry blackballing and his journey to independence, while both artists reflect on the evolution of their careers and the current state of hip-hop.

At one point of the interview, Grafh played a traditional Quicktime With Slime game, where the hosts ask the guest to choose between two artists or subjects and if he/she can’t answer, then she/he drinks a shot. NORE and DJ EFN of course asked a traditional question, ‘Busta Rhymes or Eminem?’ and Grafh chose Eminem.

“I’mma have to go with… Damn, Bus my nig-a too though. I’mma go with Em, cause he influenced my style. I’m combination of like Prodigy, Eminem, Nas, Jada, Royce and Jay-Z. But I love Busta, man.” said Grafh.

Later in the interview, the Queens, New York-born rapper showed love to Eminem and Royce 5’9″: “They used to call me Black Eminem for a while. That’s one of the best compliments to me. I think Em is one of the top nig-as. A lot of my influences were them type of nig-as. Royce and him, both of them nig-as influenced my s–t. So, that’s a big compliment to me, the Eminem s–t. I always wanted to do a song with Em. Just one nostalgic s–t because I look up to him as MC and have to see who get the better verse and we have to go hard. A lot of times when I make a record though, I’m not trying to get the best verse. I’m trying to make the best record but with Em, we gotta get the best verse. With Em, it is a blood sport nig-a. This is personal. Cause that’s a fact, he’s coming to smoke s–t.” said Grafh.

You can watch the interview below.”Busta Rhymes VS Eminem” talk starts at 59:47. The Eminem and Royce shout out starts from 1:04:18.
