Today, 6 Years Ago, Shady Records dropped “Shady XV”

On this day, exactly 6 years ago (November 24, 2014), Shady Records label dropped a double disk, compilation album Shady XV, performed by various artists, under Shady Records and Interscope Records, executive produced by Eminem.

The album was released in honor of the label’s 15th anniversary and if features Slaughterhouse, Bad Meets Evil, D12 and Yelawolf, as well as the label’s boss Eminem. The second disc includes some of Shady Records greatest hits, featuring 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Obie Trice, Ca$his an more.

The album debuted at No. 3 on the US Billboard 200 chart and No.1 on US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, with first-week sales of 138,000 copies in the United States and following year the album was certified Gold in the country by RIAA for selling 500,000 copies.

One of the most surprising tracks on the album appears as a bonus track and its the demo version of “Lose Yourself.” Eminem recorded demo version before completely rewriting the song to make it fit with the Jimmy Smith/B-Rabbit character from the 8 Mile movie. As Eminem says in on of his interviews, he does not even remember when and where he recorded the demo version of the Oscar-wining song.

Royce 5’9″ reacts on Lil Wayne endorsing Donald Trump

Royce Da 5’9 has always been naming Lil Wayne as one of the Top 5 rappers alive but couple of days ago Cash Money legend surprised some of his fans and his peers by endorsing the president of the United States, Donald Trump.

Few days ago, Weezy shared a photo of himself and Donald Trump  in front of an American flag, on which Royce 5’9″ couldn’t help himself but address it on Instagram.

Royce re-shared the photo of Wayne and Trump and made it very clear that he misses old Lil Tunechi by quoting one of the lines from one of his biggest hits “6 Foot 7 Foot,” off Tha Carter IV (2011).

“This is not the Iconic Genius that said ‘B**ch, real G’s move in silence like lasagna’. Nope. I rebuke you, Satan … Stay away from our GOATS.. And Wayne would have NEVER worn a shirt to the White House.”

On Friday, at 6PM ET, Eminem and Royce Da 5’9″ will hit the SiriuxXM on Shade 45 for Bad Meets Evil’s classic Shady Halloween special. It is yet unclear if the interview is pre-recorded, old or new, but fans will enjoy listening songs from “Hell: The Sequel EP.” Check the announcement from Shady Records below:

Speculations about another Bad Meets Evil project continues, even though, last time Royce did an interview about this matter, he confirmed that they are not working on new Bad Meets Evil album but few months ago Mr. Porter revealed that another BME will happen ‘sooner or later.’

Eminem and Royce have already done Halloween special 9 years ago. We do hope they won’t just repeat this segment:
