Trick Trick & Maestro Williams discuss Eminem & Benzino beef & some Detroit natives disrespecting Eminem

Award-winning producer Maestro Williams has recently sat down with Trick Trick on The Fly Zone radio show “The Sit Down” on Shade 45 to discuss Maestro’s multiple talents as an award-winning producer. Producing many different genres of music including, classically orchestrated arrangements in hip hop and is work ethics. At one point of the interview, the two talked about working with Eminem, some Detroit native people disrespecting Em and recent Slim Shady and Benzino beef.

Maestro Williams: I worked with Eminem in studio once. I got a call from Biz and I don’t know what was going on but I was keyboard player for that day. I was like ‘WAIT, WHAT?!’ So yeah, pulled up and we worked. He works in the studio like 9 to 5 job. Literally. He actually stayed little past five that day. He was working on some s–t I though it was dope. I never heard it on anything so I guess it was not dope enough. But we worked in studio together for sure. And then we were working on D12 mixtapes. The joints he did on there. I would mix that in with everything else.

Trick Trick: I’m just finding out about a lot of things that’s happening in hip-hop as far as Detroit concerned and one of the things that I keep seeing that’s weird to me is people going after Eminem that live here. I’m like, ‘you can pick another f–king target.’ They act as if they placing on some type of throne and then they trying to dethrone him. He’s not on the throne. He’s not trying to be on the throne of other than to be the greatest rapper to ever live which is a quest that is worldwide. And he put the f–k on the city, n-gga. Not even counting charitable donations he makes that he chooses to never say nothing about.

Maestro Williams: I don’t get it, I don’t f–king get it. I never got it and I never will. Well, first, let’s not act like he DID NOT. He still put on for the city. It’s so disrespectful. It hurts my feelings.

Trick Trick: Did you see Benzino?

Maestro Williams: Yeah, I did. You know what I did? I f–ked up. I commented on the excerpts that got posted on Instagram before I watched the whole video. I became one of them n-ggas I fear the most. I failed [Laughs]. let’s be honest. The parts that everybody saw on Instagram then s–t is funny. It’s a dichotomy of how he starts . Now, if they just did the crying part, it’s like ‘oh man, what’s going on?’ But when you see all ‘F–k Eminem’ parts before crying….[Laughs]. You can’t write that s–t in the movie. Reality is so much better than fiction. I was just telling cuz you can’t write that s–t bro. It’s the same interview, You wearing the same clothes ma n-gga. You go the same hairstyle. You can’t break this s–t up. You just said ‘f–k him, f–k anybody who rides with him’ and I’m like ‘wait n-gga, that’s me cause I ride with him! [Laughs] F–k you mean?! I don’t even know you. Why is this happening dawg.

Trick Trick: That’s me too n-gga! [Laughs]… Speaking from a deceit of a fellow counselor, that’s a sick obsession.

Boosie Badazz says the trenches don’t listen to Eminem

Baton Rouge, Louisiana-born rapper Boosie Badazz has recently sat down with Cam Capone where he was asked about his opinion on Dr. Umar Johnson saying Eminem can’t be one of the greatest rappers of all time because he’s white.

“Where I’m from we don’t listen to Eminem. I’m from the trenches. I never heard nobody come in my project, playing Eminem. I’mma keep it real. When I hear him, I say he can rap. I always say that. Every time I hear Slim Shady, I used to like that song Slim Shady but where I’m from, I’ve never heard one song in my project, I never heard Eminem one time in the speakers in my project. I gotta be honest. None of my friends never said put Eminem on. Play the new Eminem. I only saw it only on MTV and you know, TV.” said Boosie Badazz.

Then he continued: “Everybody have their greats. If you put ten people lined up on this coach, everybody going to tell you five different greats. Some people say Eminem is top five, some people say he’s not cause music touch you in different ways. Eminem music did touch a lot of people. DMX music did touch a lot of people. DMX is in my top five because I always felt listening to his music that he really lived. Even though, I was not from New York, my street n-ggas still saluted him and played his music. I heard him in the hood.”

“I can’t put people in my top if I never knew their music. If I only listened to couple songs and saw couple videos…You have to really touch me to feel your greatness. I head Eminem, I’ll be like ‘okay! I like that song’ but never went and bought the CD. Stood out of the store to buy Eminem’s CD. Tupac’s I did. Scarface I did that. Pimp C/Bun B I did that.” Boosie Badazz added.

On Halloween eve, Shady Records fans were a little disappointed to find out that there was no Eminem feature on the mixtape, but a great verse still counts even if it arrives late. DJ Whoo Kid eventually shared Devil’s Night Reloaded, which includes a chilling acapella verse from Eminem on “Devil’s Night Intro.” Eminem tweeted: “Went in the lab real quick, now @djwhookid has it reloaded.”

D12 had previously explained to VladTV that the timing didn’t work out for Em to appear on the original version of the project. “Eminem didn’t make this project at all. He tried as much as he could, but he didn’t make it. We could’ve waited for him to go ahead and do it, but we wanted to really just let people know that we’re also emcees too and we can handle ourselves. We know how to do this sh-t.”

After 9 years, the mixtape is now available on all streaming platforms. You can bump it below!

Benzino breaks down in tears while talking about Eminem on Drink Champs

Benzino has recently sat down with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN on Drink Champs where he talked about many things, including his revived beef with Eminem. At one point of the interview, drunk Zino broke down in tears.

Benzino of course started the interview with lashing out on Eminem: “Let’s talk about Eminem, isn’t that why we here tonight? Fu-k Eminem. And fu-k everybody down with Eminem. Hip-hop is who we are. He can’t come in and invade hip-hop, and Rosenberg and make trillions of dollars. This n-gga didn’t even go to Nipsey’s funeral. F-ck Eminem bro!”

He then continued: “They trying to kill me right now cause the sh-t I’m saying cause it’s deep bro. His fans like him because he’s white. They don’t fu-k with us. F-ck Eminem, I dusted Eminem. Rap Elvis b-tch! How about that?! How come he ain’t answering me?”

Then DJ EFN asked, Eminem or Machine Gun Kelly. Here is what Benzino replied: “F-ck Eminem bro! Fu-k both of them bro. Fu-king Cassidy would kill Eminem in a battle rap bro. Why do you all give so much props to Em? Because he’s white? F-ck his music. We don’t listen to that in the hood bro.”

Later in the interview, when Benzino got drunk, he got emotional and started crying: “I don’t have nothing against Eminem. He can rap but I care about us more. I don’t want to talk about it no more. For 22 years, every time I do interviews they ask me about Eminem. The fu-k you want me to do? C’mon man. My daughter came to industry figuring ‘I gotta be cool with Eminem because everybody is against my dad.’ You think this sh-t is fu-king cool? Nah man, we are failing as a people. I don’t hate Eminem. I don’t know him to hate. I don’t hate white people. I’m tired of this sh-t man. It’s too much.”

Eminem to co-produce “Stans” documentary

Eminem, whose iconic 2000 song “Stan,” featuring Dido, from The Marshall Mathers LP album coined the term for fanatical and sometimes delusional superfans, is co-producing a documentary on the phenomenon via his Shady Films, in association with DIGA Studios and Hill District Media, with initial distribution from Paramount/MTV.

The film, directed by Steven Leckart (“Challenger: The Final Flight,” writer of “What’s My Name: Muhammad Ali” and cowriter of the Hulu series “Legacy: True Story of the L.A. Lakers”), is slated for release later this year.

According to the synopsis, the film — with the working title “Stans” — is a “revealing, edgy, and disarmingly personal journey into the world of superfandom, told through the lens of one of the world’s most iconic and enduring artists, Eminem, and the fans that worship him.”

Shady Films’ Paul Rosenberg (Eminem’s longtime manager) and Stuart Parr say, “’Stans’ will be the opportunity for us to to turn the camera around and ask the audience about being fans — and in some cases, fanatics. This is a study of the relationship between fanbase and artist through the lens of one of Eminem’s most fascinating songs and one of the world’s most important entertainers.”

Tony DiSanto, DIGA CEO and a former top MTV executive, says, “Paul Rosenberg and I have known each other since my days on MTV’s ‘TRL,’ a show that was driven by the power of fandom, bringing artists and their fans together. So when he told me about the idea for this film, it felt like we had come full circle. ‘Stans’ will explore the complex relationship between fame and super fandom, told through the lens of one of the world’s most Iconic artists, Eminem, his music, and, especially, his most extreme fans.”

50 Cent is working on new album with Dr. Dre & Eminem

50 Cent has recently covered Billboard magazine’s latest issue where the New York legend revealed that he’s working on new album with Dr. Dre and Eminem.

Fifty has recently partnered with WeTV to launch the investigative series Hip-Hop Homicides. Hosted by Van Lathan, the show examines the shocking deaths of rising stars in the genre like XXXTentacion and King Von. Fifty also inked a three-project partnership with Lusid Media for an unscripted crime series slated to debut later this year on Peacock. Additionally, he and Eminem are working on a TV adaptation of the latter’s 2002 semi-autobiographical film, 8 Mile.

As Billboard reports, 8 years after selling his radio income stream to Kobalt Music Group in 2015 (worth $6 million), Fif is now working on a studio album with Dr. Dre and Eminem has sent him new songs to collaborate on, and Nas has tapped him for a feature on his forthcoming King’s Disease 4 album. [Video of this part of the interview is not available yet]. And after a string of one-off shows and a subsequent international run last year, 50 is also planning to tour in the United States for the first time in 13 years. He is already set to perform at Las Vegas’ Lovers & Friends Festival in May, 2023.

In the interview, 50 Cent also praised Eminem: “Em’s not going to say the s–t the way I say it because it just is what it is. There’s his humble nature — he’d call me and ask to do him a favor and rap with him on a song. Like, “You know I am on your label, right? Yeah, whatever you need me to do.” He would always ask me, “Could you do me a favor? I always thought it would be dope if we did this together.” I’m like, “All right.”

Bubba Sparxxx talks about Eminem dissing him on “GOAT”

Bubba Sparxxx has recently sat down with VLAD TV where the 45-year-old rapper reflected on his career and at one point talked about Eminem and what he though about Eminem dissing him on the leaked “GOAT” track.

Bubba said: “I hit Paul [Wall], obviously I did not directly contact Eminem at that time. That record was leaked. He had another record too. Me and Paul, we were shinning. It was Paul Wall time. Paul had told me about his addiction and what he was going through. And I get it. So when I heard that song, first of all, I never did Coke, I don’t know where this information came.”

Then he continues: “I never had a problem with cocaine. Timbaland has also addiction problems. So, with Eminem, I always felt like ‘After so many years, you gonna sneak attack me when I’m at lowest point in my life? I’m not even popping!’ and he explained to me how the song was older but I felt like even he dissing me he was actually paying quit a bit of respect. So, I didn’t really trip off of it.”

“Later on Eminem also mentioned me on his “Campaign Speech” song when Trump was running for office. He mentioned me in a freestyle then. I just know on a personal level that he is always a quiet guy. He would not say much about setting he would be in and at the end of the day he is like ‘how’s Bobby doing?’ I know the type of respect he has for me. I have every bit of respect him as well. It’s just, we all get pissy sometimes.” Bubba added.

Bubba Sparxxx also admitted that he failed to live up to being as good as Eminem. Bubba reflected on his rivalry with Eminem, explaining that he and Timbaland felt like they were competing with Eminem and Dr. Dre.

He said: “There were some areas where maybe I was stronger than him. But there were some areas where he was more experienced. First of all, he was older than me when he first came out … We was just two different human beings on a different journey.

Then he continues: “This is something that Tim and I have discussed too. Yeah, I failed to live up to being the second coming of Eminem. He failed to become the second coming of Dr. Dre in that situation. Even as far as getting caught up in that line of thinking of that’s what we’re competing with. Or we’re trying to match up with this standard of feeling like that was the pressure that was on us, though, in that building.

“But even just feeding into that line of thinking was a mistake, a grievous error on our part. And we definitely fell short of that [on the first album],” Bubba Sparxxx added.

Eminem dissed Bubba on a song “GOAT” which was leaked in 2010 and it was recorded during Em’s ‘drugged up’ phase and was probably to be released through his scrapped King Mathers album but it was never released officially. The song is about Eminem demanding respect as one of the greatest of all.

In the song, Em raps: See, you hardly ever do hear anyone even bringin’ up Paul Wall’s white / ‘Cause lyrically he / doesn’t pose a threat to anyone, see, he’s just aight / And Bubba Sparxxx, he just won’t write / Because he’s so caught up in that snow white / That Timbaland can’t even get him in the studio / He’s so gone off that coke, right? And it’s so sad ‘cause he’s dope, right? / America’s next great white hope, right? / So now they feel like they gotta come up with some corny-a– White Rapper Show, right?” (Lyrics from Genius)

Timbaland collaborated with Sparxxx on “Ugly” in 2001 and “Deliverance” in 2003, where Sparxxx even rapped about his struggles with addiction. Snoop Dogg had already declared Eminem the “Great White American Hope,” which makes it possible for Sparxxx to be the “next” one.

Eminem also mentioned Sparxxx in his “Campaign Speech” freestyle, in 2016 when Donald Trump was running for president. From Dylann Roof to Trayvon Martin, Donald Trump to Edward Norton, Eminem leaves no one out.

In the song, Eminem raps: “Love to start s–t / Shovin’ Clark Kent’s undergarments in the glove compartment / Of the bucket, bumpin’ Bubba Sparxxx / I’m double parkin’ up at Targets, trouble causer, a double crosser / Shadiest mothaf—a you’ll ever come across.”

Not long before “Campaign Speech” dropped, Bubba collaborated with Eminem’s signee Yelawolf on “Be Yourself.” Bubba Sparxxx was also signed to Yelawolf’s label, Slumerican, in March 2016.

Parking in two spots at Target isn’t the friendliest move, as one spot is more than adequate. In this scenario, being the “shadiest” refers to how inconsiderate Em’s parking choices are, but it’s also a play on his alter ego Slim Shady—he’s literally the shadiest alive.

Dr. Dre shouts out Eminem at the 2023 Grammy Awards event

Ahead of the 2023 Grammy Awards, the Black Music Collective celebrates the organization’s mission of advancing Black music with a concert-style event honoring Missy Elliott, Lil Wayne, Dr. Dre, and Sylvia Rhone. Snoop Dogg and Busta Rhymes were among the performers at the show.

During his acceptance speech, Dre said: “My musical journey started with me wanting to find something that I could be good at simply so I could earn enough money to buy a decent pair of shoes just to be able to wear to school. I was in junior high school the first time I had ever heard hip-hop for the first time. I heard mixing and scratching, and I couldn’t get enough of that sound. And once I got my hands on the turntables, I knew I had found my wings and I was determined to learn how to fly.”

Then he continued: “I fell in love with the idea of manipulating sound and taking those different sounds and putting them together like a puzzle to make a song. I studied engineering for years and years and years, and from there I realized that I could take or hear a snippet of a sound and use that to create something entirely new. And then boom — I became a producer.”

The 7-time Grammy-winning producer also gave a shout out to his protegee, long-time collaborator and friend, Eminem, who is 15-times Grammy winner himself: “Eminem brought hip-hop to middle America and offered kids who looked like him the way to connect to it.”
