Eminem wishes Royce 5’9″ a happy birthday, teases new Bad Meets Evil

Royce Da 5’9″ has released his Eminem-assisted track “Caterpillar” on Royal. The track calls for the new generation of rappers to respect the artists who came before them. King Green delivers on the chorus, and the rap opens with words from legendary poet Gil Scott-Heron.

Royce described the song as: “The basic theme of the song is, ‘Don’t disrespect the caterpillar to praise the butterfly.‘ Marshall falls a little bit more into that category than I do, but both of us are caterpillars. A lot of times, you’ll praise these guys but gotta tear us down…But where do you think his style came from?”

The song was released on May 3, 2018, off Book Of Ryan album.

Yesterday, Royce turned 45 years old and Eminem wished him a happy birthday by retweeting the “Caterpillar” NFT post. In the caption, he wrote: “Happy bday Royce Da 5’9″! What we doin to top this?” Implying the two might get back to the studio for another Bad Meets Evil song or album.

Couple of months ago, in an interview with Smoothvega, Royce revealed he’s ready for new Bad Meets Evil project whenver Eminem calls: “I can not say that, I can speak for Preemo, I do not speak for Marshall Mathers, but I am open to another Bad Meets Evil album. I have not seen him the whole pandemic. I just talked to him, we have not seen each other for a while. I am due to see him soon, I will probably see him within the next couple weeks. I just wanna see him, I want to hug him. And then I think… he is always working on s**t, So I wanna hear whatever it is he is working on. If he is doing the album like whatever I do not know what the f**k he is doing. I wanna hear whatever that is.”

Kurupt reveals Eminem once helped him out of bad situation: “He’s a type of person Pac & Biggie was”

Kurupt has recently sat down with VLADTV where the legendary rapper shared his thoughts on 2022 Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime show performance and revealed Eminem once giving him a helping hand when he did not have to.

“Dr. Dre and Snoopy deserved that performance. So does Mary, Kendrick, that whole circle on front deserved it. They all accomplished so much in this game, opened up so many doors. Kendrick just began and he already opened up so many doors and that’s not even mentioning Em.”

“I was going through something one time and Em let me a helping hand and helped me to get out of bad situation I was in before. He didn’t have to do it, Cuz. He did that for me. That’s the type of person that Nip was, type of person Pac was, type of person Biggie was. They would never hesitate to lend a helping hand.”

When interviewer asked what exactly Eminem did for him, Kurupt did not concrete.

Kurupt is one of the hip-hop pioneers that Eminem holds in high regards as he raps on “Till I Collapse”: “It goes Reggie, Jay-Z, 2Pac and Biggie, Andre from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas and then me, But in this industry I’m the cause of a lot of envy, So when I’m not put on this list, the s**t does not offend me.”

ApeCoin gains 22% after Eminem & Snoop Dogg debuted ape-themed new single

Last Friday, Eminem and Snoop Dogg debuted the new single, “From the D 2 The LBC,” live on stage at ApeFest 2022, an annual gathering for BAYC and Mutant Ape Yacht Club (MAYC) holders.

The private festival took place in New York and also saw musical acts performances from Lil Wayne, Lil Baby, Future, LCD Soundsystem, Haim and others.

The prominent NFT collection’s native Ethereum token, ApeCoin, climbed over 22% overnight, according to data from CoinGecko. As of this writing, the coin was worth $4.92, down slightly from its morning peak of $5.26. In the last week, ApeCoin has risen some 35%.

The price increase signifies a minor rebound from what has otherwise been a disproportionately brutal month for the token, which recently fell some 65% at a pace distinct even for the current bear market.

Just in late April, ApeCoin’s price hit an all-time-high of almost $27 in anticipation of virtual land NFT sales for the BAYC’s metaverse game, Otherside. ApeCoin can be used by holders to vote on ApeCoin DAO governance proposals.

ApeCoin’s recent price spike may have been caused in part by the Friday release of a new music video by Eminem and Snoop Dogg, in which the legendary rappers and noted BAYC ambassadors transform into animated versions of their Bored Ape avatars. The music video, which trended on YouTube throughout the weekend, has garnered almost 9 million views.

Eminem speaks out against the law that bans abortion

Last Friday, The United States Supreme Court voted to overturn the 1973 bill Roe Vs. Wade, leaving it up to each individual state whether to ban abortions or not. Protests erupted across the country and Eminem seems to be one of them.

As a father to three daughters – Hailie Jade, Alaina Mathers and Whitney Scott Mathers, the Detroit legend is taking action. Yesterday, Slim Shady fired off a tweet clearly illustrating where he stands on the issue while providing a resource for his Michigan community.

“As a father it pisses me off that women have fewer rights today than just a few days ago. We are f**king going backwards. Here’s how to help in Michigan.” Tweeted Eminem with a link to an organization called Reproductive Freedom For All.

The link explains now that Roe Vs. Wade has been overturned, a 1931 Michigan law could go back into effect, “making abortion illegal and threatening doctors who provide abortion services with prison for up to 15 years.” The organization proposes an amendment that would ensure no one goes to prison for “providing safe medical care as well as ensure access to a broad range of reproductive health care, including abortion.”

Footage of Snoop Dogg phone-calling Eminem get him into NFT business surfaces online

Eminem and Snoop Dogg have just collaborated on a new track called “From The D 2 The LBC” from upcoming “Curtain Call 2” album. The legendary rappers performed the new single live on stage at ApeFest 2022 for Bored Ape Yacht Club holders. The NFT.NYC side event was an exclusive event for NFT holders and the new track even gave cryptophobic people the feeling of FOMO.

Along with the song and music video, Em and Snoop also dropped BAYC merchandise. The merch was only available to MAYC and BAYC holders, and it was only redeemable using ApeCoin. Holders had 48 hours to claim the drop, with only one item available to each holder.

Earlier this year, Eminem created ripples in the metaverse with a Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFT, which cost him 123.45 Ether which was approximately $450,000 at that time. The purchase of BAYC #9055 was done by the account holder Shady_Holdings on OpenSea. The NFT was bought from its owner Geegazza who couldn’t contain his excitement on social media.

Champ Medici, Web 3 Architect and founder of Crypto fund, shared a story how he got Paul Rosenberg and Eminem into NFT business through Snoop Dogg.

“I saw Paul Rosenberg eating dinner at the Barclays November 3rd 2021 and I didn’t hesitate to tell him to bring Eminem to this space, he wasn’t convinced so I had my client Snoop Dogg call Em November 21st to convince him.” said Champ Medici and then he shared a video of the phone-call and screenshot of text messages with Paul Rosenberg.

“My son run past Paul about this NFT world we got with metaworld and metaverse that you definitely need to get in cause s**t over there.” tells Snoop to Eminem and Em responds: “That’s crazy idea. I don’t even know you could do that.”

Then Champ continues tweeting: “A few months later Nick Yads and The Champ flew to New York City to meet with Paul Rosenberg again to walk him through how it would work and what ideas we thought would best fit their brand. Both Parties own Bored Ape so we felt it was extremely aligned to make the music video cross over.”

“We ran the idea by Yuga Labs and it was green lit light. We flew to Detroit right after closing Garyvee VeeCon in Minnesota 30 days later the music video was completed and history was made. Eight months and some change it took to make this happen.” Champ added while sharing the video of Eminem and Snoop Dogg watching music video of “From The D 2 The LBC.”

“I’m not bragging or making this about me it’s just a beautiful thing to see how time works and ideas are always on our side. To any go getters out there that may have to go through a journey of people fully not understanding your vision stay down for the come have faith and be patient.” he said at the end of his tweet series.

Illa Da Producer finally meets Eminem, reveals what Em told him after listening to “Killshot” beat

The last couple of weeks have had a lot of bad news for some in the “web3” space, but you would not know it by looking at announcements in and around the recently-ended NFT.NYC and ApeFest 2022 events.

The Bored Ape Yacht Club’s (BAYC) annual event in particular brought in musicians like The Roots, LCD Soundsystem, Haim, Lil Baby, Lil Wayne, and others to perform for its members. On the final day of the event, guests saw the premiere of “From The D 2 The LBC” video from two rap legends who have purchased tokens, Eminem and Snoop Dogg.

Backstage at the event, Eminem met Illa Da Producer, the man who produced some of the best songs for Eminem in the last decade: “Killshot,” a Machine Gun Kelly diss song, “Lucky You,” featuring Joyner Lucas and “The Ringer” from Kamikaze album and “Book Of Rhymes” with DJ Premier on Music To Be Murdered By (Deluxe).

“These are the moments you never forget! I have produced seven records for Eminem but last night was the first time we got to connect in real life. He told me he was looking through beats for two days then when he heard the beat that would eventually become KILLSHOT he instantly knew that was the one. I am beyond humbled and grateful that he loves my music as much as I love his! Truly a legend and the motherf**king GOAT!” wrote Illa on his Instagram post.

In addition to the songs listed above, Illa also produced “Offended,” from Revival album and “Normal” and “Good Guy,” featuring Jessie Reyez from Kamikaze.

Fellow producers, Symbolyc One and Lone Starr Muzik, both who have previously worked with Eminem in several occasions, commented fire emojis and “awesome bro” under the Instagram post.
