Snoop Dogg has recently sat down with DJ Whoo Kid to promote his new album “Missionary” with Dr. Dre. At one point of the interview, the West Coast legend talked about “Gunz N Smoke” song, which is on his new album and features 50 Cent and Eminem.
“Getting them [50 Cent and Eminem] on a record meant a lot. I wanted him and Eminem on. And Dre wanted them on. It was the first that that everyone agreed that was the perfect song everybody to get on. Let’s get it done. And 50 went first. He knocked his s–t out first which made it hard for me because I had to come behind him. And then Eminem. He always just kills s–t. He don’t give a f–k who’s before him. You just better not go after him.”
“When I rap with Eminem. I know I gotta be the f–k way up cause this ni–a ain’t playing. He makes you go hard. He’s the type of ni–a that when you finish the song he gon’ go back and change and do four more bars. I was like ‘n-gga you cheating man.’ Why you get four more bars? You motherf–ker you already cut my head off and now you going with four more bars? Goddamn it Marshall, you bad mothef–ker. I’m glad you on my team.”
DJ Whoo Kid also revealed that he has an Eminem interview coming. You can watch Snoop’s interview below:
During a recent interview on The Breakfast Club with Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne tha God and DJ Envy, television personality and recurring cast member of the hit Bravo show, “Real Housewives of Potomac,” Gizelle Bryant talked about her legal battle against Eminem‘s team to trademark the term “Reasonably Shady” for their merchandise line.
“You all know a guy named Paul Rosenberg? We deposed him. It’s almost over. The opposition was, Eminem’s team had me and Robin deposed, so all is fair in love and war, we going to depose Eminem. So, when our side said ‘okay, we need to depose him’ all hell broke loose. They were like ‘oh no, no, never, he does not even know anything about this.’ Well, if he does not know anything about this, why are we here? but that’s a lie. You had to have told him something. So, because of that I think they have decided ‘okay these girls aren’t going away’ and Patent and Trade is gonna settle it. We are at the end of the road. All depositions have been done, all disclosures and yes we have spent a lot of money.” said Gizelle Bryant.
She then continued: “You don’t own the word SHADY. There have been other small companies that have had SHADY in their name and they paid them off to go away. But we are not going to do that or unless y’all didn’t offer us something that could make us go away but we are too far in now. And I don’t even get why would you be doing this to us. Thank God we had money but let’s just say we didn’t and we are just two black women out here to make a dollar out of 50 cents.”
The drama began last year when reality stars Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon attempted to trademark the term “Reasonably Shady” for their merchandise line. Eminem’s team, however, argued that their use of “Shady” would infringe upon his own established brand, built over decades with trademarks like “Slim Shady,” “Shady,” and “Shady Limited.” While Bryant and Dixon denied any association with Eminem’s brand, they pushed for a deposition with Eminem himself. But Em’s legal team was not playing those games. They argued that his extensive cooperation, including handing over 2,500 pages of documents, was sufficient, per In Touch. The United States Patent and Trademark Office Board ultimately sided with Eminem. The need for Bryant and Dixon to gather information was acknowledged but it was also determined that deposing Eminem’s manager, Paul Rosenberg, would be more productive.
The board pointed out that “Mr. Rosenberg, not [Eminem], provided the declaration supporting the motion.” This decision is a major win for Eminem. It protects his brand and avoids the potential for a public spectacle had he been forced to appear in person. While the case is ongoing, Eminem has successfully defended his trademark turf for now.

50 Cent has recently sat down with Big Boy for the interview where he talked about his new Las Vegas Residency, his new 50 Cent Action TV Channel, Mike Tyson fight Snoop Dogg at Olympics, Snoop’s new album Missionary, his investment in Shreveport, Kendrick Lamar at the Super Bowl, Kendrick vs Drake, celebrity scandals, new accusations against Jay Z, his feelings about Diddy and his case, Drake’s music lawsuit, Fat Joe at World Series, Donald Trump 2024 win and Trump using his song Many Men at the rallies.
50 Cent also briefly spoke about “8 Mile” TV show about Eminem, that he announced couple of years ago: “Yeah, we are working on the television. It’s going pretty good. It gets difficult at points because they are so used to having entire control of projects. When you gotta deal with networks and other forces involved, you get little, you know…” Fif said.
“I got a few things [about new music]. I got a piece coming out with Snoop and Em on Snoop’s new album. It’s dope dope!” – 50 Cent added. You can watch the interview below:
50 Cent has also recently performed “P.I.M.P” and “Many Men” at Jimmy Kimmel Live, you can watch the performance below.
Detroit rapper Latto may be one of the biggest stars of the rap and hip-hop world, but that hasn’t stopped her from worrying about what Eminem thinks of her.
While sitting down with Jennifer Hudson during a Dec. 4 appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Latto, 25, opened up about a run-in she had with the 52-year-old rapper, revealing it didn’t quite go as expected.
When Hudson, 43, asked the Rhythm + Flow judge what it was like having Eminem as a guest judge on season 2 of the Netflix music competition, Latto said she was “so gagged.”
“I was like, ‘Oh, I bombed that. He thinks I’m weird because I just was like, ahh. I didn’t know what to say, so I was like, ‘Gah, thank you!’ ” she said, referring to Eminem revealing he’s a fan of her music during his appearance on the series, which aired its season 2 finale and announced the winner of a $250,000 cash prize on Wednesday.
She added, “My daddy listened to Eminem so much growing up, that’s, like, probably his favorite rapper. So, it was just like, ‘Oh, don’t lie to me. For real?’ And he was like, ‘Yeah.’ And then I asked for a picture later, and he was like, ‘Yeah.’ He probably thinks I’m a little awkward.”
Shortly after announcing the star-studded tracklist for his much-anticipated upcoming album “Missionary,” Snoop Dogg has given a bit of insight into how a few of the standout records will sound.
On Friday, the west-coast legend was on hand in New York City’s Times Square to give a surprise performance to launch “Fortnite” Chapter 2 remix, which features contributions from Snoop, Ice Spice, Eminem and the late rapper Juice WRLD’s estate. During an interview with Variety, shortly after he wrapped the performance, Snoop shared that he anticipated two of the album’s tracks — “Last Dance With Mary Jane” featuring Jelly Roll and Tom Petty, and “Gunz n Smoke” featuring 50 Cent and Eminem — may potentially be featured in the new “Fortnite” rollout.
“Well, Tom Petty is a weed song, so I don’t know if they’re going to let that one in. But the 50 Cent Eminem song is a real street record that sounds like it’s supposed to be in this game with all the different things that I’m seeing. Especially in my maps, so it fits perfectly with the things I’m doing.” said Snoop Dogg.
Snoop also acknowledged that Eminem is included in the new “Fortnite” campaign and looks forward to aligning with his longtime associate whenever possible: “That’s Slim Shady, that’s my guy! That’s my Libra gang partner. So we like to do as many things we can do together, we like to do because we’re family. So I was glad to see he was part of this as well.”
On the Episode 30 of Big Dookie Chain Podcast, Canibus, who was an unique talents in hip-hop when lyrics meant everything, sat down with Van Styles after a show in Connecticut and talked about hip-hop from a perspective only Canibus can.
He gets into how he started in music, what coming into the game in the super competitive golden age was like and being someone who “tried to hard and loved the game too much.” He spoke about his multiple beefs and looking back what he might have done different. He also talked about Wyclef Jean and LL Cool J.
At one point of the interview, Canibus talked about Eminem too: “I don’t take it serious anymore. I’m half of century years old… It’s not cool to diss Eminem. Everybody who has ever dissed him knows that it’s not cool to diss Eminem. Because of the different things. Not blackballed or somebody making a phone-call. It’s just, if you threaten something, or you posed to threaten something or you posturing or threatening something that so many people love, then you inadvertently put yourself in the seat [where there is no empathy] and Benzino was talking about that. Benzino is a hardcore dude and it came out of his mouth. He’s the real one.”
Fat Joe has recently sat with LL Cool J for a discussion about his road to success on a new episode of his weekly interview series, “Fat Joe Talks,” on STARZ.
During the 30 minutes conversation, the two hip-hop icons briefly talked about the relationship with Eminem.
Fat Joe: [The fact that you want to be yourself and copy no one] We respect that and we love that. That’s the only way you’ll get somebody like Eminem, the biggest streamer in the universe, to shoot a video and do a song with you cause he respects you as an artist. Tell me about that relationship between you and Eminem cause I feel like I got the best relationship with you but I’m starting getting in my feelings. Cause this man right here, I’ve seen him big you up when he won Hall Of Fame. I seen him always big you up. LL Cool J: He’s amazing. We got a great rapport. We are friends. He does [look up to me]. We have that love for hip-hop in common.

The Cleveland Browns provided one of the biggest surprises of the Week 8 Sunday slate with their win over division rival Baltimore and Jameis Winston played big role in it. That victory snapped the Browns’ five-game losing streak and ended the Ravens’ five-game winning streak.
Cleveland had their best offensive performance of the season behind backup quarterback Jameis Winston. He completed 27 of 41 passes for 334 yards and three touchdowns, including the go-ahead touchdown to Cedric Tillman in the game’s final minute.
After the game, Winston quoted Eminem when asked about getting his first start since 2022: “There’s a white boy from Detroit that I really admire named Eminem. He said, ‘You only get one shot. Do not miss your chance to blow. This opportunity lasts once in a lifetime.'”
Winston nearly had that part of the chorus to Eminem’s song “Lose Yourself” perfectly correct. Except the final line is, “This opportunity comes once in a lifetime,” but Winston got the point across. You can watch the interview below:
“There’s a white boy from Detroit that I really admire, named Eminem”
Detroit rapper Kash Doll has recently sat down with Bootleg Kev where they briefly talked about newer generation of Motor City artists kind of critiquing Eminem for not necessarily paying attention to new artists in Detroit.
“I have not met Em yet. I want to and I’m not even mad that he haven’t tapped in. I don’t know, it’s something about men and women within this era but I think we’re going to have our time.” said Kash Doll.
Then she continued: “I did a concert with 50 [Cent]. He came to Detroit and I seen Em come out on stage and I’m so mad I’m not backstage anymore no more but it would have took so much for me to go back so I was like, there will be a time that it’s going to happen. I love Em, I have nothing bad to say. Em is Em. He made his mark. He did what he needed to do. He one of them ones who put Detroit on the map. When you think of 8 Mile, you think of Eminem Detroit.”
“I have nothing bad to say. I haven’t met him, he have not tapped in but that’s cool. He’s not obligated to. He’s obligated to tap in to who he likes.” Kash Doll added. You can watch the interview below:
Math Hoffa has recently sat down with DJ VLAD where the legendary battle rapper discussed if there is a way to outshine Eminem on a song.
“If you get on a track with Eminem, don’t try to do the Eminem s–t. He’s gonna smoke you every single time. I feel LL held his own but don’t get on a tack with Em, doing Em s–t. You heard Rap God? Okay, cool, if I ever do a track with this guy, I’m never rapping fast. I’m gonna focus on something else. This guy is known for this. He does this. Everyday he wakes up in the morning he’s rhyming fast. He just does that s–t. Don’t try to do that s–t with him. Take “Renegade,” the big Renegade conversation. Jay didn’t really do him either. He did it as far as content but rhyming style? That was not Jay-Z rhyming pattern. That’s not Jay-Z’s flow. People get on a track with Em and tryin to do Em s–t. No bro, you don’t have to!” said Math Hoffa
Then he continued in another clip: “[Do you agree Eminem got LL Cool J on that song?] He gets everyone on the song! Who got him? [Busta Rhymes] I love Busta. Busta can do the tempo but the bar structure, nah. When you slow that down and you read it, you gonna be like, ‘oh, that was a punch, oh, that was ill flip.’ Em is doing that fast s–t but he’s also putting in punchlines and s–t. Nah, bro, I don’t think so.” said Math Hoffa.
After long thinking, he finally came out with an answer: “Closest to getting Em…I’m stuck…Damn, who’d that be? I don’t know. Maybe Royce. Royce would probably the only other person. Does Kendrick have a record with Eminem? You know what’s funny? I really like the joint he did with Young MA and she blacked out on that s–t! Because she did her s–t and not Eminem s–t.” Watch the videos below:
Dr. Umar Johnson has recently sat down on The Art Of Dialogue where he slammed rappers for not defending Beyoncé after Country Music Awards snub but attacked him over saying Eminem can not be one of the greatest of all time in hip-hop because he’s white.
“Look at, when I said Eminem could never be a GOAT in hip-hop because he’s not black and black people created hip-hop. Every black rapper you could find came to Eminem’s defense against Dr. Umar. Didn’t the Country Music Association just do what I said we should do? Did they not declare Beyoncé will not be a queen of country music? Didn’t they just do that? Even though she got the highest selling country music song of the year. They said we don’t care. She’s black. She’s not white. So she can not be the face of country music. But when Dr. Umar says the same thing about hip-hop, all these fake a-s gangsta rappers come out of the woodworks and defend Eminem from my accusation.” said Dr. Umar.
Then he continued: “Look at the contradiction. Nobody said nothing when Beyoncé was not nominated. The NAACP didn’t send a letter. The Urban League didn’t send a letter. The Congressional Black Caucus didn’t send a letter. Kamala Harris didn’t pick up the phone and asked why. Joe Biden didn’t say a word. They let it go. But soon when Dr. Umar says Eminem can not be GOAT of a black music genre, I catch holy hell. Ain’t nobody say a damn word to the Country Music Association for shunning Beyoncé. Look at the double standard! Look at the racism! Look at the contradiction.”
“Why can’t we say Eminem can not be considered the greatest artist because we got people like LL Cool J! We got people like Big Daddy Kane! We got people like Kool G Rap! We got people like KRS-One! We got people like Rakim! Who been doing this before Eminem was born. Therefore, we are not gonna let him come in with his white self be the face of hip-hop when there is far more white people in America who can buy up his albums and make him appear to be a GOAT, even if he’s not. We are not going to give him that opportunity because we got veterans in hip-hop who deserve far more credit than Eminem.” Dr. Umar added. You can watch the interview below:
