A$AP Rocky namedrops Eminem in a new song with Denzel Curry

It’s been a while! Denzel Curry‘s King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2 has finally arrived.

Clocking in at nearly 35 minutes, the 15-track project honors the great musical heritages of the South with its extensive list of featured artists who hail from the region: Curry’s former Raider Klan member Key Nyata, Juicy J, Project Pat, Maxo Kream, That Mexican OT, Mike Dimes, TiaCorine, 2 Chainz, Kenny Mason, Ski Mask The Slump God and PlayThatBoiZay, along with special guests Armani White, A$AP Ferg and A$AP Rocky.

King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2 arrives 12 long years after its predecessor and is a perfect homage to Curry’s Southern roots. Across the 15 tracks, he and his collaborators show why the region has been so influential in music and even proves that the South is here to stay for a long time.

A$AP Rocky and PlayThatBoiZay are featured on a track called “HOODLUMZ,” in which Pretty Flacko namedrops Eminem with the following lines: “My weird homie rock a blonde lace like ’98 Eminem. Him again, nail paint, art, hell nah, I ain’t feminine.” Is A$AP Rocky making fun of trans people and mentions Eminem? Either way, it seems just another weak bar. You can listen to the song below:

T3 of Slum Village & Mr. Mecc give Eminem his flowers

T3 of Detroit’s legendary hip-hop group Slum Village has recently sat down with Math Hoffa and Mr. Mecc on My Expert Opinion alongside with Young RJ where they discussed “Nobody bumping Eminem in the hood or a car” narrative.

“I co-host couple of Em’s battles. He was killing it. Em was always dope. I remember Em’s first demos man, it was ridiculous. I was like, DAMN. [Nobody bumping Eminem in a car] narrative is crazy. Eminem is a GOAT. Let’s just keep it there. Em is a GOAT bro, I ain’t even let you go there. When you say that, you gotta start about the inception of him though. The inception of Em when he first dropped everybody was listening. I don’t care if you was in the hood. You were listening to what he was saying! YOU ARE LISTENING! So I ain’t buying that.” said T3.

It seems Math Hoffa agreed the narrative by saying “Em’s appealing to me because of the lyricism and the creativity but we are not on the block selling nothing… and people who say that are talking about the hood hood.” but then Mr. Mecc interfered: “I hate that bro, every block ain’t selling. And you have to remember that’s YOUR S–T. Those singles can’t do what they do if they are not being playing all over the f–king place. And if you didn’t turn up Eminem in your specific car, that’s cool. Just remember you wasn’t in every car and people who played Eminem in their car was not offering you a ride. So shut the f–k up. Just be quiet. Just remember those cars that was playing the records, you was not in. Stop trying to s–t on people.”

Joe Budden podcast discuss Eminem’s “The Death Of Slim Shady”

In the latest episode of Joe Budden Podcast, Joe Budden and the crew discussed Eminem‘s new chart-topping album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). You can check out the conversation below:

Parks: I love it man. It feels refreshing to hear the s–t he’s talking about on this album. Like, anti-cancel-culture s–t. All that. It felt good to hear him have fun with the music. It seems like everything since Recovery has been very serious or anthematic, which is cool but I liked the silly s–t.”

Officially Ice: This album made me fully understand, like you said anti-cancel-culture s–t, I look at Em, when he does this, as like rap’s Dave Chappelle, where the real message is Free Speech. I listened to the album in order because I did see his post about this is a conceptual album and listened to it in order and I understand what he meant. It’s Slim Shady getting his s–t off and then it’s Eminem or Marshall or whatever, kind of fighting back. That Guilty Conscience 2 record, really breaks it down. It’s a conversation between Slim and Em. One record and I know y’all gonna kill me, is a record that’s called Temporary. He’s literally talking to his daughter how to proceed when he leaves here. I was driving in a car. I listened to the album, I was on a road trip for two hours, I played it, I had lyrics on the screen and I did cry, no bulls–t. He got audio clips of his daughter when she was little playing throughout the song. He literally said, play this after I die. It sneaks in the album. You are not ready for that record. He really really smoked the album. I look at Em’s career as pre-Recovery and post-Recovery. This is number 2 in his post-Recovery albums. Right after Music To Be Murdered By which is still amazing. A lot of people like that f–ked up comedy style. Even if it’s not politically correct to admit today, you like offensive comedy, you like offensive jokes, we all like it. So when he’s doing it, and anybody could get it, he talked about little people, fat people, deaf people. He talked about everybody in this songs, everybody that you are not supposed to mention. He has brought the R word back. Em really smoked the album. I like its concept and it makes me want to see where he goes next after that. Shouts out to everybody on there. That Jelly Roll record is crazy.

Joe Budden: I’m sorry, y’all talked enough. I will eventually listen to this album but I have not yet. I ain’t even thought about it yet. If I went on a road trip I would have heard it also but maybe my life is litter than you guys is. In my younger years I could not imagine a day where I didn’t run to an Eminem project, excluding him dissing me on Kamikaze album. I know where he stands as an MC. I know what he does. But I didn’t feel that urgency. I don’t care about none of the Slim Shady s–t. I don’t care about Jennifer Aniston or whoever he’s dissing, Nick Storm or whoever he’s dissing. For me, Slim Shady helped me to live and stay alive and deal with depression. Back then, that’s what he did for me. I was never into that funny s–t but he caught one with GUESS WHO’S BACK, BACK AGAIN. I like that one. I’m going to check out the Em album but I felt good that I have outgrown the urgency of having to rush to it.

Eminem to headline concert in Saudi Arabia for the first time ever

The GOAT is back. MDLBeast Soundstorm 2024 is returning to Riyadh which takes place from December 12, 2024 to December 14, 2024 and the first act of the highly anticipated music festival has been announced. Get ready to welcome Eminem to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Slim Shady will be headlining MDLBeast Soundstorm in Riyadh. While the exact date of his performance hasn’t been announced yet, we know that it’s going to be one for the books. Additionally, this will mark Eminem’s first-ever concert in Saudi Arabia. And if you’re someone who has lived in the Kingdom, you probably already know how big of a deal he is in the region.

“Guess who’s coming. The G.O.A.T is coming. Eminem is hitting the stage at SS24. Get your tickets now.” posted the official account of mdlbeast.soundstorm on Instagram.

Eminem is no stranger to Riyadh though. Last year, during his epic walk to the ring at Sin City’s T-Mobile Arena, Terence Crawford was joined by Eminem as the Detroit legend’s 8 Mile hit song “Lose Yourself” boomed throughout the packed venue. “Las Vegas, make motherf–king noise for the next undisputed welterweight champion of the world, Terence ‘Bud’ f—ing Crawford,” Eminem yelled to the roaring crowd.

MDLBeast Soundstorm is the region’s biggest music festival. The festival started in 2019 and has attracted local and international musical acts. Taking place on the outskirts of Riyadh, the festival is like the Glastonbury of the Middle East, just in the middle of the desert rather than a muddy field.

Apart from Emimen, fans are expecting several other A-list acts, blockbuster sets and a whole lot of fun. In the past, MDLBeast Soundstorm headliners have included Bruno Mars, Chris Brown, DJ Khaled, Metallica, Post Malone, Swedish House Mafia, Travis Scott,  50 Cent, Afrojack, Busta Rhymes, David Guetta, Fat Joe, Marshmello, Rick Ross and Will Smith.

D12 release their mixtapes on streaming platforms

D12 have released their mixtapes on every major streaming services. Return of the Dozen (2008), Return of the Dozen Vol. 2 (2011) and Devil’s Night: Reloaded (2015) are all now available for the fans to stream on Apple Music, YouTube Music and Spotify. Tapes that are still not available on digital platforms are Detroit, What! (Demo Tape) (2000) and Mixtape (Limited Edition) (2003).

Return of the Dozen Vol. 1 was released on May 21, 2008 under Shady Records and Interscope Records. This was their first project since the passing of the group’s leader Proof in 2006 and it was designed to get them back on their feet in preparation for new possible content. Eminem notably doesn’t appear on the tape at all, as he was busy recording his sixth solo studio album Relapse. The tape includes guest appearances from Royce Da 5’9″, King Gordy, Willie The Kid, Marv Won among many others. It also includes tracks “We Back” and “Suicide” produced by Eminem and “Plead For Your Life” produced by Denaun Porter.

Return of the Dozen Vol. 1 was released in 2011 and is a follow-up of Vol. 1. Its most popular song is “Fame (Going Crazy),” which includes Eminem’s only appearance on the whole tape, produced by Denaun Porter. Features include Trick Trick, Kid Vishis, Young Buck, King Gordy, Young Zee, Maestro Williams and Seven The General among others. The mixtape also includes “Canon (Freestyle)” remix to Lil Wayne’s “Canon” song which is arguably the best track on the album.

October 30, 2015, D12 came back with another mixtape Devil’s Night: Reloaded hosted by DJ Whoo Kid. Prior to this mixtape’s release, D12 confirmed Eminem would feature on it. However, Em was noticeably absent from the project upon its release. D12 claimed Eminem “tried as much as he could, but he couldn’t make it in time to the release of the tape.” Fans were reasonably disappointed so hours after the original release of the project, a reloaded version named The Devil’s Night Mixtape: Reloaded was published with a new track as the intro, containing solely Eminem rapping acapella for two minutes-circa. The album features guest appearances from Royce Da 5’9″, Kxng Crooked, Lazarus, Kidd Kidd, Young Buck King Gordy and T3 of Slum Village.

Battle rappers, 50 Cent, Russ, Twista & more react to new Eminem album “The Death of Slim Shady”

Eminem dropped The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace) album and while critics did not favor the project, hip-hop community who appreciate the lyrics, concept and multisyllable rhymes were impressed by the first Eminem album in 4 years.

Battle rapper A. Ward tweeted: “One thing I believe is not up for debate is…. Eminem is the Greatest Rhymer Ever.” Another battle rapper Mike P said: “21 for 21. Album Of The Year. One of the best albums Eminem has ever made… Holy s—t.” Battle rapper Real Sikh tweeted: I f–k with the “Dream” concept on Eminem new album. You hear alarm clocks and him waking up from a nightmare throughout the album, so most of the album is him dreaming.”

Ice Cube’s son O’Shea Jackson Jr. tweeted: “OMFG, Eminem, I can’t wait to bump this s–t in the car. This mother–ker going crazy.” One of the fans commented: “This is why I hate rap now. It’s all about lyrics and reading between the lines. Tupac just made simple dope a-s songs like Dear Mama, I Get Around, Toss It Up. You did not have to rewind 10 times to get it.” On that, Jackson Jr. replied: “This is the problem. Motherf—kers been eating fast food for so long they don’t know when a good meal is prepared for them.”

AJ Francis said: “Eminem lyrically is the greatest rapper ever. His song style is not for everyone, and some of the stuff he says makes people uncomfortable, but if we talking about lyrical breakdown… He’s the GOAT.” Ren said: “Can’t explain how happy the new Eminem album makes me. Feel like when I listened to The Marshall Mathers LP for the first time. Goosebumps.” Dax tweeted: “New Eminem album is fire.”

Hip-hop YouTuber Stevie Knight ranked the album inside Em’s top three projects. He said “The Eminem Show, The Marshall Mathers LP, The Death of Slim Shady. Top 3 Eminem albums of all time no specific order.” Terrell Mallory said: “This is what I will say… Eminem showed as he always does, that he can REALLY RAP better than MOST.” His brother said: “We listened to The Death Of Slim Shady and Eminem is insane honestly. We caught a LOT of bars. can’t wait for y’all to see what we caught first listen… The man can rap and has a sick mind indeed but at what cost? Either way, I think it was a solid project and concept, but I also understand some hating it. Also let me say the “concept” of him killing “Slim Shady” and how his evilness has fueled his career but also hurt him in the same way. The world changed and he didn’t type s–t. That aside, he said some real offensive s–t on the album and the “concept” doesn’t excuse that.”

One of the users asked Russ to share his opinion on the album. Russ responded: “hiiiiiiigh level rapping abilities. Favorite Em album in a minute.” 50 Cent also tweeted: “Yo Eminem, s–t is crazy. It takes me a while to understand the details of this one.” Pakistan decedent Detroit rapper Lazarus quotes Eminem’s Pakistan line and said that new Eminem album is fire. Surprisingly for me, XXL magazine tweeted: “Eminem is 51 years old and seriously hasn’t lost a step.”

Rap community was also impressed by JID’s verse on “Fuel.” Token said: “JID lost his mind on that Em song.” Mickey Factz tweeted: “Yea this JID verse is candidate for feature verse of the year… along with Kendrick on Like That. Wow good s–t bro.” Director Mike Chehadé said: “Just so everyone knows the JID feature on the new Eminem album didn’t happen overnight. Their relationship started at the beginning of J.I.D’s career. I remember calling J.I.D years ago after he dropped The Never Story. He told me Em and Mos Def had reached out to show love and support. Even back then the greats saw what we’re all witnessing now from J.I.D… Scary part is he’s just getting started!” Twista said “I need to spit a verse on the Fuel song” and tagged Eminem on X. Check out all the reactions in the video below:

Is Eminem’s “The Death of Slim Shady” album in reverse?

Eminem returned with 12th solo studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), first since 2020’s Music To Be Murdered By. The title, of course, references the Detroit legend’s troublemaking alter ego, Slim Shady, who runs wild on many of Marshall’s biggest hits.

The Death of Slim Shady features the previously released singles “Houdini”—which rode a Steve Miller Band sample to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on Billboard Global 200 —and “Tobey,” with fellow Detroit rappers BabyTron and Big Sean. Guests on the LP include White Gold, Bizarre, Sly Pyper, Dem Jointz, Skylar Grey, Jelly Roll, and Ez Mil.

The Death Of Slim Shady is a concept album and Eminem warned fans to listen to it in order to make a complete sense: “Public service announcement: the “death of slim shady” is a conceptual album, therefore, if you listen to songs out of order they might not make sense. Enjoy.” he tweeted on X (formerly Twitter). Supposedly, Eminem kills Slim Shady but if you listen to the album in reverse, it’s a different story.

One of the fans on X, @Pecora_boy123, posted a theory that the entire album is in reverse. “TDOSS BACK TO FRONT TELLS A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY!!!” he said. Then he continued: “Somebody Save Me – foreshadowing Marshall’s death. Guess Who’s Back- foreshadowing the return of Slim Shady. Tobey- sometimes s–t just does not pan out, Shady shadow shows up. Bad One – “one minute you are here the next you are gone” it seems like Marsh’s job is done he pulled off his stunt. Temporary – his letter to Hailie before he dies (hint). Head Hancho- “writing is on the wall” “Ezekiel” the story of Ezekiel, and remembrance on creation day, Marshall’s creation day would be Slim Shady! “you’ll be a Stan till I die, though (Dido)”

The theory continues with: “Guilty Conscience 2 – Slim Shady laughs after Paul hangs up on him, showing it wasn’t a dream. Breaking News- Slim Shady is showing Marshall all the s–t he has just started. Slim Shady laughs viciously at the end. Houdini- Paul calls back and says good luck. This is his rebuttal to Marshall calling him and he thinks that Marshall is f–king with him because he’s on this tangent again. “What you thought you saw ain’t what you saw” this will come back into play later. Road Rage – Slim dyes Marshall’s hair blonde again. Hence Marshall rapping like a blonde hair version of himself the rest of the way. Fuel – “the reapers coming to heathen and I need it from ME”. Antichrist- “cobain put the gauge to his brain I’m goin out with a bang aye”(Marshall voice)

Lucifer – (switching between Marsh and Slim) first I must weave rhymes, then I’mma leave eyes in a state of disbelief.” A set up for the finale of this all. (STARTS TO GET REALLY GOOD). All You Got- Slim telling Marshall he ain’t s–t without him. (notice Marshall’s weariness and tone) at this point Slim has completely taken over. Hence the opening of Evil – “woke up with an attitude today, Not in the mood to play.” Stuck in my ruthless ways I refuse to change, nothing to lose or gain, GUESS I JUST CHOOSE TO STAY”(BIG FORESHADOW). BRAND NEW DANCE – Shady just said he’s so evil, so he’s gonna show it by making a whole song s–tting on reeves. TROUBLE SKIT – “ALRIGHT HERE, DRINK THIS.” DRINK IT B–CH.” He just drugged Marshall!! “LET ME GO YOU B–CH” Marshall says as he’s tied up. THEN SHADY SAYS. ”LITTLE PU-SY WHATS WRONG? THOUGHT YOU WERE DREAMING HUH?”

BINGO!!!!!!!! HABITS – you can hear Marshall struggling as he’s tied up and gagged. Slim is telling him to eat a pill of some sort to knock him out. RENAISSANCE – SLIM BURIES MARSHALL!!! SPITS ON HIS GRAVE!!! Slim proceeds to spit his first song, without the person that started it all for him, Marshall Mathers. Straight vintage Slim Shady on the track, teasing what’s about to be unleashed on the world with SIDE B! Listen to the album in reversed order below. What y’all say?!

42 Dugg defends Eminem’s GOAT status

One of the hottest Detroit rappers, 42 Dugg may understand why his fellow rapper Skilla Baby made the claim that people in Detroit don’t view Eminem as one of their greatest of all time, but he doesn’t agree with that judgement.

Earlier this month, Skilla Baby appeared on the Baby This is Keke Palmer podcast, where he made his claim about Slim Shady while discussing who is the best rapper from the Motor City: “Numbers wise, Eminem is the best Detroit rapper but the gag is nobody would say that in Detroit. Everybody had a turn being Detroit’s favorite rapper. Sada Baby had a turn, Tee Grizzley had a turn, Babyface Ray had a turn, Veeze is one of Detroit’s best rappers, Baby Smoove. Everybody had their turn being the best in the city. What we lack is consistency. Nobody has consistently been Detroit’s favorite rapper. Numbers wise, it’s Eminem but nobody in Detroit is playing Eminem right now and I was an Eminem fan as a kid. I’m a fan of Eminem but do we consider him our best rapper? I don’t think Detroit does.”

During speaking on The Breakfast Club with Charlamagne Tha God, 42 Dugg was asked about Skilla’s statement. While he said he was unaware that the statement had been made, he offered an explanation as to why younger hip-hop generation might feel that way: “That’s probably how they feel. The new kids don’t even know about him. How would they? You have to really be music person to go back… I know. That’s always my card when somebody get to bringing up somebody from somewhere else, I’m like, ‘We got Eminem.’ I feel like he the GOAT.” said 42 Dugg.

When asked if Eminem‘s music was simply not relatable to fans of street music, 42 Dugg went on to give Slim Shady his flowers as an important influence on his own music: “He made deep music. I go listen to ‘Toy Soliders’ or ‘Stan,’ those my favorite songs. So when it’s my turn to make real songs, I already damn near know how to channel it. Cuz I already know what I’m looking for: I’m looking for a ‘Stan’ type of song.” You can watch the clip below:

Album Review: Eminem – “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)”

Artist: Eminem
Album: The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)
Release Date: July 12, 2024
Label: Shady Records
Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap/Conceptual 

I’ve always said that Eminem and Slim Shady’s dynamic is comparable with The Hulk and Bruce Banner. You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry (or Shady in Em’s case). There’s this rage monster inside that Eminem can never fully let go of, even as he grows old. He’s always been able to keep a lid on the situation. Sometimes, Eminem allows Slim to come out and put one hand on the wheel.  However, with The Death Of Slim Shady Coup DeGrâce, Eminem seems to be tied up in the trunk and Slim is driving off a bridge. It’s not because he’s on a thousand downers, or because he’s drowsy. It’s because Slim wants to pull Eminem back to the dark (or Shady) side, even if this means totally cancelling them both.

Now in the second half of the album, it’s revealed that this was all just a nightmare Eminem was having. At the end of Guilty Conscience 2, we hear Marshall wake up in cold sweats. He immediately calls Paul and tells him of this crazy dream he had, where Slim Shady was back, and it’s like he was back to the way he used to be. Here’s where things get interesting. I believe Slim Shady is a metaphor for Eminem’s addictions; all his demons from his past. “The Death Of Slim Shady“, truly refers to Eminem being sober. He killed his addiction – totally got rid of it. I think Eminem’s nightmare is actually implying that he was dreaming that he never got sober. That’s why he’s so terrified when he wakes up. You see, drugs and alcohol really destroyed his life and nearly killed him. The ironic part is, he also credits his addictions for giving him what he needed to become famous, and maybe even saved his life. He was dirt poor and had a family to raise. Shady is bad for him, but he needs him to stay rich and relevant. Never make a deal with a devil, because there’s always a catch.

Once we get to the mid section of the album, we get the final showdown between Eminem and his alter ego (Guilty Conscience 2). Slim Shady has won. Em is cancelled and Slim is in full control. The mixing on this song is absolutely incredible. It really feels like 2 tactical MC’s rap battling on this track. It reminds me of that super bowl ad a few years ago. Look it up. There’s points where old Slim and new Em’s vocals are layered on top of each other. It’s astonishing that they pulled this off. There’s production tricks and little clever ad libs that strengthen the concept throughout the entire album. If you listen closely, you’ll even hear little turntable skips every time his voice changes back. There’s so much attention to detail. Sometimes you hear the Slim Shady voice filtered through this eerie, ghost-like effect. Again, the mixing is just pure black magic. Dre is a perfectionist.

At this point, Marshall has taken the mic. Shady is dead along with all the evil demons and addictions that come along with him. Head Honcho with Ez Mil introduces this half of the album. Eminem’s verse is a total flex about how he’s still been able to maintain his No. 1 spot in hip-hop, despite kicking Slim Shady to the curb. It’s a victory lap after defeating him. This is a way to rub it in his alter ego’s face, but it’s also his way to give a middle finger to his haters.

Circling back to the main theme of the album with Temporary. This is one of the most beautiful, yet saddest songs Eminem has ever put out. It might as well be called “Mockingbird 2”. Clips from real home videos from Hailie’s childhood play behind the instrumental. We hear all these sweet moments happening as Skylar Grey sings through it with her heavenly hook. Eminem starts the song off by asking himself if he’s afraid of death (a reference to “I Still Don’t Give A F*ck” from The Slim Shady LP album). In this song he twists the phrase to give it new meaning. He answers the question by telling us that he’s more afraid of dying without telling his daughter everything he wants to say before it’s too late. Before his first verse he dedicates the song to Hailie. This song is Eminem imaging a reality where he died before saying his final goodbyes to his kids. I swear a tear comes to my eye every time I hear this track. 

While Temporary shows how Eminem was able to work well with Slim Shady in the beginning, Somebody Save Me shows how addiction swallowed his life. The contrast between these two songs is a really smart way to show how easy it is to lose yourself, but not realising it until it’s too late. Somebody Save Me opens with Alaina, one of Eminem’s other daughters trying to get him to come eat. A barely conscious, drugged out Eminem slurs his words into a sentence telling her to go away and close the door. This obviously implies that his only concerns were the drugs at a certain time. This intro paints the scene that’s followed up by painful words. As he pours his heart out, he begs for forgiveness from his kids. I don’t think I’ve ever heard an artist sound so genuinely ashamed for their actions in a song before. There’s nothing he can do to get the time back that he lost with his kids over drugs and it kills him. I’m not crying, you’re crying! Also, shout out to Jelly Roll for delivering such a powerful hook that compliments all the emotions happening within the verses.

To sum up my thoughts on this album, it is very difficult. I’m just trying to decide if I want to tell you it’s my album of the year, or my album of the decade. As much as I’ve said here, I’m only scratching the surface. The rhyming and absolute alien level wordplay is out of this world. Even for Eminem, this is some of his sharpest work ever. The maliciously mixed production should be impossible. These people went over every detail of the album with a fine tooth comb and didn’t stop until every aspect was perfect.

If I had to complain about something, I might bring up the features. None of them were bad here, it just seems like there are some big names missing that I thought were a sure thing.

The order of the tracklist can be a little weird sometimes. Why is there a Ken Kaniff skit right before one of the most emotionally beautiful songs I’ve ever heard? I think Temporary should have led directly into Somebody Save Me. Instead we get some really crazy bangers. As amazing as Head Honcho, Tobey, and Bad One are, they’re really interrupting something special.

If this is Eminem’s last album, I really do think it’s a good place to stop. It’s filled to the brim with fan service through deep cut easter eggs and classic references. As sad as I’d be for this to be the last one, this is everything I’ve ever wanted from him.

Final Score 9.86/10

Machine Gun Kelly appears to be responding to Eminem’s new diss

Slim Shady really didn’t hold back when he smoked Machine Gun Kelly with his 2018 diss-track called “Killshot,” and for a lot of people that was the final blow in a beef between the two.

But six years on, Eminem has just released a new album and it seems like he’s coming for Kelly all over again. “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)” arrived on Jyly 12, 2024 after Em gave us a taste of his new tracks with the singles “Houdini” and “Tobey,” featuring Big Sean and BabyTron.

The album, which he promoted with a picture of a gravestone, focuses on Eminem’s Slim Shady alter-ego and draws attention to some of the controversies he’s been involved with in the past, before the Detroit legend indicates that he’s leaving that part of himself behind. That’s not to say he’s forgiving and forgetting everything that came before, though.

In the song titled “Bad One,” featuring White Gold, Eminem makes reference to his beef with Kelly as he raps: “But I gotta keep going Tyson on Kelly / I bodied him twice and already / That little motherf***er’s back throwing subs like a food fight at the deli.”

The track officially reignites the feud between the two rappers, and fans are loving it. In a Reddit thread about ‘Bad One’, one user commented: “Mgk gettin buried again is hilarious [sic].” Another said: “That Mgk diss was slick on “Bad One” I can’t even lie. Eminem will never stop beating on him.” Others praised the song as a whole, with one fan describing it as ‘fire’.

Several hours after the album dropped, Machine Gun Kelly hit X (formerly Twitter) to seemingly respond to Eminem’s name-drop. “G.O.M.D.” MGK tweeted. It’s an acronym for the statement “Get Off My D–k,” popularized by J. Cole. With everything that’s going on around his boss Diddy and considering the past beet with Rap God, Machine Gun Kelly probably thinks the best course for him is to make a cryptic tweet and get done with it.

 

Lisa Ann responds Jelly Roll’s heartfelt letter to Eminem

Eminem sampled Jelly Roll’s “Save Me” on his latest studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace). Jelly Roll checked a historic item off his bucket list when notching a collaboration with Eminem on “Somebody Save Me,” which served as closer track for new album that brought tears to many fans around the world and his excitement caught attention of Lisa Ann.

Hours after the track made waves on streaming services, Jelly Roll reflected on it in an emotional post on Instagram about having the chance to contribute to one of his childhood hero’s projects. “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.” said Jelly Roll.

Then he continued: “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.” Jelly Roll added.

Nashville, Tennessee-born singer also hit X (formerly Twitter) to briefly share his emotions: “I can’t believe I’m on Eminem’s album.” He tweeted. Lisa Ann, a former adult film star, who has previously worked with Eminem on “We Made You” music video, replied: “I say the same about being in his video for “We Made You”.
