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.”
Snoop Dogg has finally announced the release date for his much anticipated new album “Missionary,” produced entirely by the one and only Dr. Dre.
“Missionary,” which is being billed as the sequel to Snoop’s 1993 debut “Doggystyle,” is set for release on December 13, 2024. It marks the first full-length collaboration between Dre and Snoop since “Doggystyle.”
The rap icon made the announcement with a promotional video on social media where two Mormon missionaries knock on a stranger’s door, only to be met with a woman in full lingerie who tells them, “What the f–k? Your ad said you were dedicated to missionary work.”
Snoop first mentioned the album back in 2022, when he said that it would be done that November. He billed it as a “30th anniversary to ‘Doggystyle,’” which Dr. Dre produced in full. That album became the fastest-selling hip-hop album ever at the time, and has since been hailed as one of the best rap records of all-time.
Today, the tracklist and features were was unveiled. Eminem and 50 Cent appear together on a track called “Gunz N Smoke,” which is, of course, produced by Dr. Dre. You can check the full tracklist and features below.

Though little information is known about “Missionary,” both Snoop and Dre have dropped hints about the project over the past few years. In August, Dre said that he was close to finishing mixing the album and that Sting would be one of its features. Snoop reiterated the Sting feature earlier this month, and confirmed that Jelly Roll would also appear on the set.
Several other emcees and musicians have claimed that they’ve either heard the project or will be featured on it. 50 Cent said he’d be on the album in March, and Method Man confirmed that he would also grace the set during a “Drink Champs” interview last month. Eminem is also rumored to be on the album… Watch the trailer of the announcement below.
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:

Before he made his way to the ring at TNA Bound For Glory in Detroit, Michigan, a video package aired for Joe Hendry with the musical track being inspired by Eminem’s magnum opus single, “Lose Yourself.”
Hendry then stood at the top of the ramp in overalls and a Jason mask, revving a chainsaw. The persona was a tribute to Eminem’s Slim Shady persona from late ’90s and early ’00s.
Hendry previously invited Eminem to attend the event but it seems Marshall Mathers didn’t receive the invitation. Hendry challenged Nic Nemeth for the TNA World Title in the co-main event of TNA Bound For Glory. Watch the video below.
Kid Rock, the hip-hop and country-rock star from metro Detroit, Michigan, has become just as well-known for his music as his political opinions, and the music legend on his way is back with another hot take about the upcoming United States election. This time, Rock is standing with fellow musicians Eminem and Taylor Swift, celebrating them for using their platforms, even if he doesn’t agree with their politics.
Kid Rock posted a video on his social media profiles, shirtless, playing guitar in a camouflage hat, saying, “Now that I have your attention. I love Eminem. We’ve been friends for many years. I don’t agree with his politics, but I do give credit to him and people like Taylor Swift for standing up and not being afraid to be vocal for that which they believe. Thinking differently and having the freedom to do so is what makes this country great.”
Eminem, who has previously collaborated with Rock, thrown his support behind Kamala Harris about a week ago in his hometown. Slim Shady took to the stage at Huntington Place in Detroit to introduce former President Barack Obama, who was rallying in support of Harris. Despite being “unequivocally MAGA,” Kid Rock said he supports his fellow artists for using their platform for politics, regardless of which side of the aisle they fall on.
Eminem responded Rock on X (formerly Twitter), saying: “Here’s one thing Kid Rock and I do agree on… GO DETROIT LIONS !!!! Appreciate you, Bob.” After few hours, Kid Rock responded back: Thanks Eminem. Who would of thought it would be 2 white rappers from Detroit / Michigan to show our divided Country what class is and how it should be done! Appreciate ya too Marshall! Kid Rock / Bob Ritchie. DETROIT LOVE #GOLIONS.” Check out the official tweets below.

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:
Rap icon Eminem and former United States President Barack Obama shared a light-hearted moment at a rally for the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign ahead of the presidential elections at Slim Shady’s hometown Detroit and Elon Musk in not happy about it.
Barack Obama took the crowd by a surprise by rapping to Eminem’s magnum opus single “Lose Yourself.” During his speech, Obama, whose love for music, especially hip-hop and rap is well known through his popular self-curated playlists, recited the opening lines of the legendary track. “I don’t usually get nervous, but I was feeling some kinda way following Eminem. I thought Eminem was going to be performing, I was ready to jump out. Love me some Eminem.” said Obama after rapping few lines from the first verse.
It appears, Elon Musk, who is Donald Trump supporter, didn’t like the fact. The billionaire has alleged that Eminem attended the party thrown by music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was indicted last month on three criminal counts that allege he s-xually abused women and coerced them into drug-fueled s-x parties using threats and violence. “Yet another Diddy party participant,” Musk wrote on X on Tuesday in response to a post that alleged that Eminem rapped about “killing homosexuals with a chainsaw.” Of course, these words were nothing but a bull’s crap. Maybe Elon and the rest of the people who think so need to check out this article that I made couple of weeks ago. I’ve listed dozens of songs where Eminem is dissing Diddy for almost three decades. Unlike Elon, who hang out with Diddy few times.
Until politics become very important for Elon Musk, expressed his admiration to Eminem’s music many times in the past. Back in 2019, Elon Musk tweeted: “the color orange is named after fruit.” One of the users replied: “There’s also no word in English that rhymes with orange.” On that Elon replied: “Door hinge.” This is the reference to famous Eminem interview he did on 60 Minutes.
Back in 2002, Eminem released “Without Me,” single from The Eminem Show album. In the song, Eminem pokes the FCC (Federal Communications Commissions) over a $7,000 penalty they had imposed on a Colorado radio station for playing his another hit song “The Real Slim Shady” it deemed offensive. In 2022, Elon Musk quoted the same lyrics but inserting “SEC” in place for FCC, seeking to throw away his 2018 agreement with the regulator that requires the CEO to seek preapproval for his tweets. As Reuter reports, the CEO of Tesla likened himself to Eminem during a court filing, alleging that the SEC violated the First Amendment. “The SE won’t let me be or let me be me, so let me see; They tried to shut me down,” Elon said, quoting Eminem in the court files.
Later on Twitter, Musk compared himself to Eminem, saying: “I mean we are basically identical – a few differences maybe.”
I mean we’re basically identical – a few differences maybe …
Back in 2017, when Elon was introducing Tesla Model 3 to the world, tweeted Lil Wayne and Eminem’s “Drop The World” song, saying he was playing it in the car.
Former President of the United States Barack Obama lost himself in the music, the moment on Tuesday night (October 22, 2024) at Kamala Harris and Tim Walz’s Detroit rally ahead of the 2024 presidential election next month. The Detroit icon took the stage to introduce Obama at the event.
“I’m here tonight for couple of important reasons. As most of you know, the city of Detroit and a whole state of Michigan mean a lot to me. And going into this election, the spotlight is on us more than ever and I think it’s important to use your voice so I’m encouraging everybody to get out vote, please.” said Eminem.
Then he continued: “I also think, the people should not be afraid express their opinions and I don’t think anyone once in America where people are worried about retribution of what people would do if you make your opinion known. I think Vice President Harris support the future of this country where these freedoms and many others will be protected and upheld. And here to tell you much more about that, president Barack Obama.”
From there, Barack Obama continued: “I have done a lot of rallies, so I don’t usually get nervous but I was feeling some kind of way following Eminem and I noticed my palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, vomit on my sweater already, mom’s spaghetti. I’m nervous but on the surface I look calm and ready to drop bombs! I thought Eminem was going to perform and I was going to jump up. Love me some Eminem!” You can watch the video below:
CNN reports: Eminem makes few public appearances, but the the Detroit icon is set to make an exception when he introduces former President Barack Obama at a Detroit rally tonight.
A Democratic official familiar with planning for the event said Eminem is not expected to perform, but rather to welcome Obama to the Motor City for a get-out-the-vote rally for Kamala Harris. In doing so, Eminem is expected to offer his thoughts on the presidential race, which he has rarely done.
But Eminem’s views of Donald Trump are well known, accusing the former president of “brainwashing” his supporters. He delivered a blistering critique on Trump that went viral at the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards.
A parade of celebrities have stepped forward to campaign for Harris and the Democratic ticket, but few of which have the iconic pull of Eminem, particularly in Detroit, as Harris fights to fortify the blue wall in her deadlocked race with Trump.
