Eminem has recently released a new single “The King And I,” featuring CeeLo Green, produced by Dr. Dre and Luis Resto, from the soundtracks album of an upcoming biopic movie “Elvis.”
While the song received generally positive reviews from the fans, The Game looks less impressed with the new single, as he continues to bite Slim Shady to trick him into a Verzuz battle and give more promotion to his new album, which, reportedly, has been delayed and the original release date is now moved to the next month.
Few hours ago, the Compton rapper updated his story on Instagram by sharing the cover of Eminem’s new song with the caption: “Ayeeee man!!! This is who is better than me?” with lots of laughing emojis.
You can check the screenshot of The Game’s story below:
“Elvis” is an upcoming biographical musical film directed by Baz Luhrmann, from a screenplay written by Luhrmann, Sam Bromell, Craig Pearce, and Jeremy Doner, with a story by Luhrmann and Doner.
The film chronicles the life and career of singer and actor Elvis Presley, from his early days as a child to becoming a pop star and movie star, as well as his complex relationship with his manager Colonel Tom Parker.
At the press conference of the movie, compared Elvis’ embrace of Black music to Eminem “Parker sees this kid who’s grown up in one of the white designated houses in the black community, and is really genuinely like Eminem. Eminem, of course, grew to prominence in the mid-to-late 1990s rapping on tracks alongside the likes of Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg, going on to become one of the biggest rappers alive, echoing Elvis’ movements in rock ‘n’ roll.” said Luhrmann.
It’s not a surprise the main theme song for the movie features Eminem’s titled “The King And I,” featuring CeeLo Green and produced by Dr. Dre and Luis Resto.
Couple of weeks ago, in a new interview with KTLA, Green revealed that Eminem gave him one night to write the hook of the song: ““Me and Eminem have been friends for years, I have longed for an opportunity to work with him. He said ‘hey man can you do this for me? I need it really quickly, I need it tonight.’ So when Eminem says he needs something tonight, you deliver.”
The single is finally out on all platforms, you can bump it below!
Few days ago, professional wrestler Alexa Bliss, who is currently signed to WWE, shared a fun fact with Twitter.
The former-WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion admitted that she raps along to Eminem’s “Killshot,” which is a diss song towards Machine Gun Kelly, very regularly: “Fun fact – I rap Eminem’s “Killshot” at least five times a week and if you know me, you know that it really may be more than that lol.” she wrote on Twitter.
To prove it, a fan shared a video which shows Bliss following along to the song while only occasionally looking at the lyrics: “Welp here’s the proof, thanks Twitter.” Alexa wrote before sharing a fan’s video.
She also admitted that she has nothing against MGK: “I also like MGK too! lol – I just love Eminem’s music always have and plus he always has great one liners that inspire me for promos.”
No no I also like MGK too! lol – I just love Eminem’s music always have – & plus he always has great one liners that inspire me for promos

A new documentary titled The DOC, which the legendary rapper The D.O.C. produced himself and first-time film director Dave Caplan helmed, is telling Tracy Lynn Curry’s full story, from his humble beginnings in Dallas to his recent religious reawakening.
The film’s talking heads are a who’s who of hip-hop, including interviews with Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Tone Loc, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Too $hort, Xzibit, and on and on, as well as members of Curry’s family and his ex Erykah Badu.
The movie premiered few days ago in New York as part of the Tribeca Film Festival and it will be available for streaming soon.
The D.O.C. took a time to share a picture with Eminem and Dr. Dre on his Instagram to show the appreciation to every person who were involved in the project: “All of these amazing people did a fantastic job on what they’re calling the Hidden Gem at Tribeca!! Thank you all!”
The Game joins Brandon Marshall, Pacman Jones, and Nick “Swaggy P” Young in Episode 36 of I Am Athlete. Watch and listen below as the Compton rapper talks about 50 Cent, Eminem, L.A. Lakers, becoming an independent artist and his upcoming new album “Drillmatic”.
“I say Eminem is slightly overrated. He came in with Dre and whenever you get certified by black hand it helps you out and there is a thing called white privilege too. It is what it is. It exists and it helps.”
“I said then years ago that nobody is better than Eminem but, when you was 4 years old, did you help me cross the road? But what about 14? Then years is a long time. How I felt back then, I don’t feel the same. And the reason I felt like that back then was because I was part of the family still.”
“Even before I was signed to Aftermath, they put Eminem on the pedestal. Interscope put the bag behind them, media, which is predominantly run by white people, they paid to do it. They still do it. It’s called promotion. They put money behind the biggest artists. If you are Adele, you are getting the bag behind you but the singer that sings just as good as Adele who is on the same or different label, might not get the bag behind them. It really breaks down to the politics inside the building. So, they made sure Eminem was going to be Eminem. I was a fan of that too. I was fan of Dr. Dre and Hi My Name Is. I’m not saying Eminem can’t rap or he is not an amazing rapper. All I ever said was he’s not just better than me.”
“Money, power and media can make you believe anybody is great. So again, Em is an outstanding rapper but I’m just better… Even when I was Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre back in the days, in the rooms where 50 Cent and Eminem were allowed to walk in, I never got the invite. Like the Super Bowl. You never say I’m better than Eminem because they never put me in the places where my talents can be magnified.”
“I’m definitely Top 20. I got too many rappers that I love that are in the Top 10 to put myself in the Top 10. I can just run them down just for you to understand why. And this is no particular order. I like Biggie, Pac, Jay, Nas, Andre 3000, Eminem will be in my top 10 just because what he has done and it does not matter who put what behind him, he did, he did rap to get there so there is Em, Ice Cube, Snoop, I like Kendrick in my Top 10 cause I watched it happen.” said The Game.
50 Cent has started the United Kingdom tour this week and the crowd’s admission has been impressive so far!
Fifty was performing at the OVO Arena in Wembley last Friday, 10 June, 2022 when he made the crowd slightly emotional after he said he was not sure if the United Kingdom would remember him.
Fiddy told to the thousands in the crowd: “You all did not forget. I thought you forgot about me.” He then made a reference to Dr. Dre who produced 50 Cent’s major-label debut album, an all-time classic, Get Rich or Die Tryin’, back in 2003.
“You know like they Forgot About Dre,” 50 added before spitting some Eminem bars from the song: “Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say but nothing comes out when they move their lips, just a bunch of gibberish and motherf***ers act like they forgot about Dre.”
“Forgot About Dre” is a song from 1999 by Dr. Dre and Eminem and the theme, as you might have guessed, was a message to the ‘haters’ who thought the producer had ‘fallen off’.
After spitting few lines of Eminem’s hook, 50 kicked off one of his hit songs “Ayo Technology,” which features Justin Timberlake.
The Game joins Brandon Marshall, Pacman Jones and Nick ” Swaggy P” Young in Episode 36 of I Am Athlete podcast.
The LA rapper explains his thoughts surrounding not being selected to perform in the Super Bowl LVI Halftime show with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar featuring 50 Cent and Anderson .Paak.
“The reason I was not on Super Bowl is that I’m not ‘safe artist’. You don’t know what Game gonna do when you get up there. The Super Bowl was in LA. It’s Dr. Dre’s Super Bowl but it is Jay-Z! Jay-Z understands the dynamic of west coast hip-hop very well and I don’t think Jay-Z would have a problem if Dre would have said ‘we bring The Game to Super Bowl.'”
“Outside of myself, I think YG should have been on Super Bowl. If it was New York Super Bowl, you might have saw Jay-Z, you might have saw NAS, Mary J. Blige and Fivio Foreign and Alicia Keys. You might have saw anybody cause we on the west coast are only motherf**kers that have this crab in the barrel mentality where we wanna keep down or don’t do things based on what somebody else might think it looks like.”
“Snoop Dogg was there because Snoop Dogg is safe, and he’s a legend. My grandmother knows about Snoop and so do my children. Snoop is an icon. Dre is an icon. Eminem is an icon but Em is not from LA. 50 Cent is not from LA. I’m not taking away from the fact that they were on Super Bowl but LA would not be on Detroit Super Bowl, or New York Super Bowl. It’s was LA Super Bowl and I didn’t get the call. I was hurt by that.”
“I feel like Dre should have called and said why. I would understand that. Because I talk to Dre. I talk to Dre often. I just know that if I was Dre and he was Game, he would have been up there. That’s it. It’s LA and I’m LA. I AM LA. I am in the streets. So it hurt. Am I bothered by it? Ain’t nobody bothered by it today. I feel that it was amazing Super Bowl and it was a win for our culture as a whole.” – said Game.

The Game pulled up to chat with Speedy Morman in the hills of Los Angeles this week. There, they spoke on whether or not rap lyrics should be used in court, the topic of white privilege and how it has played a role for rappers like Eminem and Jack Harlow.
“I am better than Eminem. I’m a fan of Em just like everybody else but he is not my favorite rapper and I feel like if Em is honest he thinks he has two and half three albums out of eleven that are really sold projects, so do I. So what constitutes Em being better rapper than me if I got classic albums too?”
“Eminem came at a time when he was a white rapper and we all know about white privilege, it exists in hip-hop as well. Especially at the time when Em came in. He was the best white rapper in the world. I’m not saying Eminem is not one of great rappers but so am I and he’s not better than me.” said The Game.
Griselda’s Benny the Butcher is raising money for the families of the 10 victims of the racially motivated mass shooting in his hometown of Buffalo, New York. Yesterday, the rapper released his track titled “Welcome to the States” addressing the massacre and the need for reforms.
“Ideologies formed on hate, now the grocery stores ain’t safe.” raps Benny on the track that samples Kendrick Lamar “We Cry Together.”
The black-and-white music video — which has a fundraiser for the National Crime Victim Bar Association and other organizers helping the shooting victims’ families tied to it — laces clips of grocery stores and American imagery with historical clips of the Ku Klux Klan.
“Mass shooting in my city, eight minutes from where my block at. Saw innocent people shot at a supermarket I shop at,” he raps, before ending the song with an audio clip from President Joe Biden’s speech addressing the shooting.
Benny has also recently shouted out Eminem and Pau Rosenberg for signing Griselda to Shady Records. In a tweet, he said: “What Paul and Eminem did for Buffalo and hip hop just by signing Griselda is forever appreciated.”
You can check the tweet and Benny’s new track below:
What Paul and Em did for Buffalo & hip hop jus by signing Griselda is forever appreciated 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Stranger Things stars Noah Schnapp and Millie Bobby Brown have recently sat down for a game of “Song Association” with Elle few days ago, and needless to say, things got hilariously feisty between the two.
Before they even started the game, the Hollywood stars confessed that they would put in some practice ahead of time. “I mean, we tried playing it yesterday just for fun,” Schnapp admitted to the camera. “Millie crushed me, so we’ll see how it goes.”
From there, the pals — who play Eleven and Will Byers in the Netflix sci-fi hit, which just dropped season four — went round for round trying to come up with songs and sing them before the other when given a single word. Among their prompts? “Monster” (“Monster by Kanye West and “Monster” by Eminem and Rihanna), “Easy” (“Easy on Me” by Adele) and “Life” (“Life” by Drake, though Brown couldn’t come up with the lyrics and had to substitute Rascal Flatts’ “Life Is a Highway” after time ran out.)
Grammy-award winning singer CeeLo Green was recently given an honorary doctorate degree in humanitarianism from Global Alliance International University.
In a new interview with KTLA, Green credited his music and overall positive vibe for the major honor. “I think what I have been able to accomplish over my 30-year career is a lot of love and generosity and being an all-around good person.”
Green also talked about highly-anticipated “Elvis” movie where him and Eminem have a song titled “The King & I”
“Me and Eminem have been friends for years, I have longed for an opportunity to work with him. He said ‘hey man can you do this for me? I need it really quickly, I need it tonight.’ So when Eminem says he needs something tonight, you deliver.”
