It has been few months since Westside Boogie unleashed his sophomore LP under Eminem’s Shady Records, titled MORE BLACK SUPERHEROES, and he continues to keep his momentum going in a very creative ways.
Earlier this week, he decided to bless the masses with a performance visual for “CAN’T EVEN LIE,” a Dart and Keyel-produced cut that features Soulja Boy and sees the two artists keeping it real about a series of hood-related issues, followed by Mamii assisted “NONCHALANT” track.
In addition to his live performances, Westside Boogie also paid Funk Flex a visit for his iconic freestyle series, and you can rest assured that he did not disappoint.
It seems all these were the preparation for the deluxe edition of MORE BLACK SUPERHEROES, which has just been released on every streaming platform. The limited edition of the album includes six additional tracks, featuring Rapsody and Alex Isley. Three tracks are live versions of the original tracks.
Shady Records’ signee shares visuals for “Cook Up” song, produced by Latrell James and Tedd Boyd, from his latest project called “5 & A F*** You.”
In the song, the East Atlanta emcee raps: “Paint the Sistine wit 16 bars / Wit 32 I’m magic / My first 48 will do you tragic / A 64 it’s caskets / Perhaps its taken it too far / I’m 2pac in a 2022 car.”
A typical rap verse contains sixteen bars (lines). GRIP compares his sixteen bars to the amazing work of art on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican City. Doubling up to thirty-two, GRIP describes his lyrics as magical, while referencing Magic Johnson, a former NBA player who played for the LA Lakers while wearing the number #32 on his jersey.
The Markee Ruffin-directed music is a standard affair, following the ATLien throughout his travels on the road. You can watch the clip below:
Jesse Wellens, a YouTuber who signed a deal with Beverly Hills talent agency WME few years back and has previously worked with Snoop Dogg on the music video for “BadBadNotGood,” has sat down with RomanAtwoodPodcast, where the famous pranker revealed he was supposed to direct Snoop and Eminem‘s “From The D 2 The LBC” video and talked about the conversation he had with Eminem about the cancel culture.
“I was supposed to do that Eminem and Snoop video. If you saw that song, they did a record together. That one fell through though, unfortunately. I was close. I talked Eminem on phone. It was crazy. We talked about the Secret Service. He was like ‘yeah, they showed up to me too.’ I was like ‘I’m talking to Eminem. It’s crazy!’ He said some s–t and he said the Secret Service pulled up on him too.” said Jesse
Then he continues: “And then I pitched him on this idea for the video because I’m pushing the limit. I was like ‘I got Eminem now, this is going to be big.’ And I was like ‘Eminem, I want you to cancel Cancel Culture.’ And he was like ‘I’m not touching it.’ I’m like ‘F–k no.’ Then I was like ‘There is only one person who can cancel ‘Cancel Culture’ and that’s you.’ He was like ‘No, I’m not doing it.'”
“The video was so epic. I wrote the treatment. It was basically like, he was a Slim Shady character, like the Jason with a honkey mask and chainsaw he bust into like a cabin and it’s a bunch of Tiktokers and you know, people these time, vaping, TikTok dancing, ring lights. All the stereotypical s–t that everyone’s on the phone. Bust into that with a chainsaw, cuts off somebody’s arm. They are spraying blood. And all the TikTok people are like ‘ohh s–t’ and then he grabs his severed arm that’s holding his phone and starts filming himself. He’s into it cause it’s content. And then he just starting murdering TickTok people. But they are not scared of it. They all think it’s content and they all love it and they are filming it. Think of like an old school Jason horror film. That’s what I wanted to shoot. And then when eventually story progresses, they are like ‘You know, this video is going too far, cancel Eminem.’ Like, they are trying to cancel him inside the video. So it’d be very meta. But Eminem was not into it. I get it though. People are scared of the cancel culture. It’s serious. Look at the Kanye West stuff going on. ”
DaBaby has recently sat down with Math Hoffa, Mr. Mecc, Sean Bigga and Grafh on the latest episode of My Expert Opinion where Cleveland, Ohio-born rapper said there is tow type of version of him, the Baby who makes mainstream music like “Rockstar” and the Baby who raps over the beats on Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole level.
“When you hear me freestyling, you be like ‘boy, this ni–a top five’ but when you hear the music I put out, I am in a music business, these people f–k with ‘Brand new Lamborghini, f–k a cop’ but that s–t ain’t nothing. But you can put this beat on and off, I go Eminem level on that beat. You gotta go get one of them to f–k with me. You gotta get Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole. It ain’t too many. I don’t disrespect nobody but boy, raise your hand! I’m like that! N—as know it too!” said DaBaby.
Earlier this year, during the interview with Variety, DaBaby was asked about his biggest influences, to which he named the likes of Eminem, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West. “Lil Wayne. Eminem. So many people, though. Three is not enough. I was definitely a big fan of Kanye, especially early on, so I would … give 50 Cent and Kanye West a tie… I was blessed enough to be able to see a lot of different people have their era, like even like a Nelly, and Ludacris, T.I. … so many people that just had their waves.”
Last year in his interview with KXNG Crooked, Eminem also praised Baby. “DaBaby is interesting to me. I never know where his rhymes gonna land and that s–t is so interesting to me cause he does it so well.”

To celebrate Eminem‘s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, SiriusXM launched an exclusive new channel called “The Marshall Mathers Station” which will be available to subscribers through April 2023 via the SXM App.
Honoring and coinciding with Eminem being named an inductee in the 37th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on November 5, 2022 at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, The Marshall Mathers Station features Slim Shady’s entire musical catalog 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The channel features Eminem’s greatest hits from his very first album “Infinite” to his most recent body of work “Music to Be Murdered By,” as well as features, deep-cuts and lesser known B-sides. The channel also highlights songs from Eminem’s iconic movies 8 Mile and Southpaw. It also includes songs from D12 and Bad Meets Evil.
While surfing in the net, fans spotted a nine second video ad of the new radio channel on social media, which features never before heard instrumental that sounds very much like Dr. Dre’s production. It is yet unclear, weather it’s from a new song or a cut that was just made for the promotion.
You can listen to it below and tell us your opinions in the comment sections of our social media accounts.
Nas is back with the third installment of his Hit-Boy-produced King’s Disease series.
The East Coast legend began teasing the project back in 2021, right after he gifted hip-hop fans with his 15th studio album, called Magic. Nasir rapped on the track called “Ugly”: “I’m on offense every day until I see the love/KD3 on the way, this just to feed the buzz.”
One of the most shining tracks on the album is “Thun,” where Nas references his past conflict with JAY-Z, admitting he occasionally texts Hov joking about how their rivalry “ain’t over.”
“No beef or rivals, they playing ‘Ether’ on TIDAL / Brothers can do anything when they decide to / In a Range Rover, dissecting bars from ‘Takeover’ / Sometimes I text Hova like, ‘N–ga, this ain’t over,’ laughing,” he raps.
The first track of the album “Ghetto Reporter” is also one of the album highlights. In the track, Nas interpolates Eminem‘s flow from “The Way I Am” during rapping the following lines: “The audacity, masterfully crafted these classics, so naturally, Had to be Nasty back at it..” It mimics the flow and rhyme schemes of “The Way I Am” intro: ““I sit back with this pack of Zig-Zag’s and this bag…”
You can bump all both tracks below. And make sure to check out Nas’ new album KD3, which already is the album of the year candidate.
Takeoff, who was one-third of the platinum-selling rap group Migos, was shot and killed on November 1, 2022 in Houston, Texas, authorities said. He was 28 years old.
DJ Ray G, who spins for Cardi B on tour and hails from Migos’ native Lawrenceville, Georgia, has recently done an interview with The Guardian magazine where he talked about linking up with Migos early days.
A decade ago, when Quavo and Offset had to network with nightclub and strip club DJs on the group’s behalf, Takeoff was not even old enough to drink. According to DJ Ray G, who was instrumental in the group’s rise out of their native Lawrenceville, Georgia, Takeoff did not mind staying at home either. He had other priorities:
“We would come back home and he would still be awake — smoking, chilling, vibing,” Ray G told to The Guardian. “And you would check his YouTube history and it is Tupac and Biggie, s–t like that. This kid is 16, studying his craft — like, ‘I ain’t going out with you tonight. I am going to stay here and listen to Big, Pac, Eminem.’”
Earlier this year, Takeoff even shouted out Eminem in Migos’ 2022 hit song Straightenin with the following lines: “I keep the cookie like my grandma made it (Cookie) / I keep the keys and the pounds and the babies (Keys) / And the bricks came white like Shady (White) / Drive the Lambo’ through the avenue (Skrrt) / Pretty lil bih’ with a attitude (Bad) / Give a shoutout to the white boy (Boys) / All white Rolls look radical (Radical) / Keep you a fire, don’t let them take it (No) / If they get yours you gotta get straightenin’.”

To be mentioned along so many historic greats let’s us know we did it right and touched so many lives. Continue to be great. R.I.P. GURU.”

During his induction speech, Eminemlisted more than one hundred hip-hop acts as his musical influences and hoped they will be considered to be in Hall Of Fame in future.

They say success has many colors, and that’s definitely true for me.

I wouldn’t be here without them. I’m a high school drop out, man, with a hip hop education and these are my teachers. It’s their night just as much as it is mine. So thank you.”
It seems Bizzy Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is not happy about Eminem leaving them out of the list. In his Instagram story, Bone wrote: “There is no way all these rappers go to Cleveland to be inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and not think ‘why Bone Thugs not being inducted?!’ SOMEBODY HAD TO SAY IT! Preaaaach!” In the next slide, he put the video of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscar ceremony, probably implying that he would walked onstage and slap Eminem if he was present in the Rock Hall audience.

Detroit rapper Icewear Vezzo has recently sat down with Charlamagne on Breakfast Club where he talked about signing with QC, connecting with Takeoff, DJ Drama and misunderstanding him and young Detroit rappers have with Eminem and Royce 5’9″.
“At the end of the day, it was misunderstanding. As a fan, I love Eminem music. I grew up listening to Eminem when I was shorty. I got real love for Royce. One thing about Royce is, he’s always show love to us, always supports us. He always shouted out. He does everything he can to help us out. He really do. I can’t take that away from Royce. But s**t, it is what it is. We don’t know Eminem. We don’t know hommie. I don’t know anybody that ever met him. Ever seen him.” said Icewear Vezzo.
Then he continues: “I think Royce and Em kinda get impression that we feel like homies owe us something. But it’s not that. Everything ain’t always about a favor or money. I think they taking it wrong way. We just saying, you are legend! you are GOAT. You are big! Bro, we are you! We want to see! Can we get knowledge?! Can we get some gang? Can we get some motherf**king motivation?! Anything. That’s what we all asking for. We are not speaking from the standpoint as like ‘bro you gotta sign us. You owe us some money.’ We are not saying that way and I believe Royce and Em may be taking it that way. So it is a big misunderstanding.”
“Yes he did a song with Big Sean, Dej Loaf and them. I got love for everybody. I f**k with every artist in Detroit. We just talking about Em and yeah I f**k with his music. But I don’t know him. Nobody knows. We just don’t know him. We ain’t saying to come outside. We ain’t saying to come in the middle of the hood. I can’t speak for everybody but I feel like that. Em’s an icon. I idolize him at one point and I do think he’s the greatest rapper of all time, at least one of them, and that’s never gonna change. He have done a lot for the community, for the city of Detroit. Ain’t nobody taking that none away. We just, musically, we got vibe right now. I know me and if I had wave that Em had, I’d embrace all you ni—s coming up. I’m already doing that and I ain’t nowhere in that type of position. But I do that. Because it’s a right thing to do. Because one conversation might keep a young ni–a from crashing up. That’s all it take. Just a little push. Little motivation. All it takes to say ‘Hey bro, I see you! Keep doing what you doing! You are doing a right thing!’ You know the type of inspiration you gotta be from people that want that from you. You are inspiring hommies! You really inspiring. Just say ‘Hey bro, keep doing’ and that’s it.”
At the end of Eminem conversation, Icewear Vezzo joked: “F–k what I said, I want a feature.’ You can check the interview below:
Vezzo talked about the same topic with No Jumper about a week ago. You can watch it below:
For the first time ever, Shady Records’ Westside Boogie and Funkmaster Flex connected to create another chapter of the legendary DJ’s freestyle series. Spitting over P Killer Trackz’s “How’s It Goin’ Down” production, the Compton rapper showcased the introspective lyricism that has made him a fan favorite from coast to coast.
“Wearing all my feelings/Ni–as say I’m overdressed/At least I won’t explode over feelings I suppressed,” / “Foot up on they necks/What’s the odor? Oh, that’s death/The fact that I even made it through the funk should be a flex/Ni–as get possessed as soon as the b—hes come around/Your character don’t show until you ain’t in front of the crowd.” he raps.
Westside Boogie is wrapping up one of his strongest years yet. Back inn June, he delivered his sophomore LP, More Black Superheroes, under Eminem’s record label, Shady Records. Shortly thereafter, he headed out on a nationwide tour with another Shady signee, GRIP. He also freestyled alongside Iman Shumpert at Shade 45 and collaborated with the likes of Deante Hitchcock and Big K.R.I.T.
Check out the new freestyle below:
Boogie has also recently performed “Can’t Even Lie,” featuring Soulja Boy and produced by Dart and Keyel from More Black Superheroes album live on stage. You can watch it below:
