Royce 5’9″ weighs in on The Game vs Eminem potential battle

Royce Da 5’9″ gives an opinion on a potential Verzuz between The Game and Eminem in the latest interview with Kera Dangerous.

“I think Game is a good challenge for anybody. I think people kind of underestimate what he has done. And his lyrical ability, the ni**a is a stellar emcee.” said Royce.

Royce continues: “As far as Verzuz, nah I do not think so. I do not think so unless it comes down to preference. I just feel like Eminem is just he just hit that plateau too many times over the years in terms of songs. In terms of a rap battle I think Game would have a much better shot. He would do so much better because that is his lane. When he come for somebody, he come for f**king blood. I think it will be entertaining, I mean, from what I am hearing that there a song that exists that he is supposed to be releasing so I guess we will wait to hear the song. I just hope that he does not think that s**t gonna be some sort of walk in the park because, Marshall, he does not turn another cheek man. All these motherf**kers thinking that he just sitting somewhere without no backbone, it is just not true. You are not about to push around, bully that man, you are not gonna do nothing to him, you are not gonna touch him. None of that is gonna happen. You are gonna rap your raps, they are gonna be great raps but those cards come both ways.”

“I have not heard from Marshall about this, but I guarantee you, if Game says the wrong thing in those records, Em’s going to want to respond. Now who can talk him out of response, I do not know, I do not think I am one of those people, I do not even know if I would try to talk him out of it. It will be fun to see what happens.” Royce added.

Joe Budden tells Math Hoffa why he never responded Eminem’s diss

Joe Budden has recently visited Math Hoffa, Smoke DZA, ESSO, MR MECC and HYNAKEN on My Expert Opinion where the crew briefly talked about a beef with Eminem.

“I don’t even remember that s**t. I don’t have nothing to say about Eminem diss. I don’t need an opportunity to diss a rapper. It’s my action and my though that I have processed this myself. It’s awesome that a rapper with that magnitude threw it for whatever reason but the reason does not matter. If I wanted to diss him and I would diss him. I’m not giving this to clickbait culture ‘Joe Budden disses Eminem…'” said Joe.

Then the crew continue talking about The Game challenging Eminem into a battle.

Snoop Dogg says rappers take shots at Eminem to be visible: “They’re poking the bear”

Snoop Dogg has recently appeared on the Full Send Podcast where he talked about many topics, including Eminem.

During the interview, one of the hosts asked if Eminem does anything nowadays, on which Snoop replied: “He do what he has to do. When you have been the biggest rapper in the world for so many years it’s like ‘what more can you do?’ He’s finding his moments now. When he wants to come and when he wants to drop and pop because his fanbase ain’t going nowhere.”

Few seconds later, interviewer asked Snoop how he feels about rappers going at Eminem in disrespectful way: “Those rappers are sitting in the shell right now and one thing what they gonna do is make him pop that motherf**king shell open. People take shots at rappers like that it’s because they are invisible for the moment but that’s the way of getting back visible, when you start poking the bear. He still is who he is. Don’t get it f**ked up. When you poke the bear with your nails, you get your nails broke.”

Royce 5’9″ talks Eminem’s new album, says Eminem called him to get in the studio

Royce Da 5’9″ has recently done an interview with Kera Dangerous where the two talked about trending topics, asked by fans on social media.

One of the fans’ question came about Eminem: “I hate to ask cause I know Royce HATES Eminem questions but is Royce on the upcoming Eminem album?”

Royce replied: “I did not know I hated Eminem questions [Laughs]. No, let me clarify. I don’t hate the Em questions at all. Eminem is part of my journey. He’s such a big megastar and people don’t get to hear from him a lot. So I think when people look at my interviews, they enjoy me speaking about him in such as candid way. I call him Marshall and when I speak about him like he’s human, that’s interesting for people but it don’t bother me when people ask me Em questions. I’d be bothered if it stops. So with Em, I don’t mind answering this question about his album.”

Then he continues: “So, to answer your question Briccs, me and Em have few songs laying around in the tuck. I don’t know if any of them are going to be on his album as of yet and I don’t even know if he’s working on an album. I know he’s recording some songs right now. He called me couple of days ago and told me he wanted me to get into the studio sooner  than later and check out some songs that he has but I don’t know what they are for. He is always recording, though.”

Benzino lashes out on Eminem again one month after squashing 20 years beef

Last month Benzino hopped on Twitter to recognize Eminem’s contribution to hip-hop culture and offered a peace to his fans.

“To all Eminem fans and Stans all over the world, the beef is officially over. I am letting you all know I have no hate towards any of his fans and recognize his contributions to hip-hop. He truly is apart of the culture and one of the best to rock the mic regardless of his color.” – he tweeted.

Few minutes later, another tweet came: “I realize that me going back and forth with Eminem fans is not good for the culture, my spirit, my legacy and most importantly, my beautiful, talented daughter Coi Leray. I do not want any negativity from me affect her dream. This is truly over. God Bless All” –

Later, in the interview with VLAD TV, Zino talked about squashing 20-years old beef with Eminem: “What I probably should have said long time ago, is that Eminem is a part of hip-hop. Eminem is a dope artist. He is a part of hip-hop regardless of what he said or done. People change. Who am I to judge… It’s not like I never liked Eminem songs. I like bunch of his songs. It’s not like he’s disrespecting me. It’s his fans. His fans are the worst bro. They are disrespectful. But Eminem is a part of hip-hop culture. He’s one of the best that ever rocked the mic. He’s very lyrically talented and if that’s what his fans needed to hear so that they can leave me alone, then so be it.”

After 1 month of keeping peace with Eminem and his fans, Benzino is back at it. Zino is now ‘beefing’ with 50 Cent and of course, he involved Eminem in his tweeter rant. Check the tweets below:

50 Cent was not happy with how Jigga addressed Eminem as a ‘white guy,’ so responded on Instagram post with a caption: “Why did he say the white boy, why he did not say the biggest rap artist in the world?”

50 Cent clowns Jay-Z for calling Eminem “white guy”

In the latest episode of Drink Champs, which featured Snoop Dogg, NORE revealed the conversation he had with Jay-Z before the Super Bowl Halftime show.

According to the host, Jigga received a call from Eminem who said he would not perform at the show if he can’t bring 50 Cent with him. And while telling this to NORE, Jay mentioned Eminem’s name as ‘white guy’

It seems 50 Cent was not impressed with Hova’s wording and went back the clowning mode. Fifty shared a picture of Jay-Z and Jean-Michel Basquiat, indicating he copied Basquiat’s hairstyle. In the caption we read: “Why did he say the white boy, why he did not say the biggest rap artist in the world? Happy Easter ! man enjoy the holidays.”

50 did not stop there and addressed NORE too: “Why would he have to say that should be the question? NORE, your big homie is running around trying to look like a gay painter.”
