Legendary rapper Ras Kass has recently sat down on No Jumper podcast where he explained why he thought The Game going at Eminem is a desperate move and why he is a pathetic rapper!
“He’s the worst. Him going at Eminem is a desperation. I smell desperation. Everybody wants a shot at the title, man, cause there is more money but what are, how you to deserve to get there? What did you do to get there? Bar up bro. And other part is, if you sit around in a team and they write your raps then you are not a lyricist.”
“It’s called rap. At least write your rap ni**a. Can’t do that? And you say you are the greatest and you that dude? You asked me about battling Eminem…Eminem writes his rhymes! And let me tell you what every rapper does. Every ni**a who get popular they do same groupie s**t: “My top five? Eminem, Jay-Z, Nas, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole and ME!” F**K OUTTA HERE. Everybody wants to be big dog with obvious popular ni**as. It’s the corniest thing ever made.” said Ras Kass.
Eminem and CeeLo Green have a new song on the soundtracks album of “Elvis” movie, produced by Dr. Dre.
“Elvis” is an upcoming biographical musical film directed by Baz Luhrmann, from a screenplay written by Luhrmann, Sam Bromell, Craig Pearce, and Jeremy Doner, with a story by Luhrmann and Doner.
The movie tells the life and career of pop and movie star Elvis Presley (Austin Butler) as well as his relationship with his manager Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks). Luke Bracey, David Wenham, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Kodi Smit-McPhee, Gary Clark Jr., and Richard Roxburgh also star. The film is dedicated to the memory of The Ladd Company’s founder Alan Ladd Jr., who died in March 2022.
“Elvis” premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival recently and new Eminem song was played during the red carpet photoshoot. The movie is scheduled to be theatrically released in Australia on June 22, 2022, by Roadshow Films, and in the United States on June 24, by Warner.
In the song, Eminem references 2 Chainz and Wiz Khalifa with the following lines:
“I grew up like the bottom of the toothpaste do, Blue sued shoes, one missing the shoe lace too, 2 chains, you can call me 2 Chainz, both hangin’ [] loose, Let the fruit cake loose..”
“Attention seekers I treat them like diabetics, got them all on pins and needles / can’t make the next bars out / it never grazed a finger, but when I raise this thing up, it’s higher than Wiz Khalifa..”
You can listen to the audio ripped from the red carpet video below:
Westside Boogie has recently sat down with Bootleg Kev to promote his upcoming “More Black Superheroes” album, the follow-up of his 2019 Shady Records debut album, “Everythings For Sale.”
When the interviewer wanted the Compton rapper to share the details about the album, like – if Eminem is on the album or any other features – Boogie refused to reveal any, but he did share some little details:
“There are twelve to fifteen songs on the album. Everything is a part of rollout. You know, you gotta surprise people. I wanted to be thirteen but I’m still trying to figure out. Probably take something out or add something in the last minute.” said Boogie.
Later in the interview, Boogie talked about Eminem: “He’s nice guy. Sometimes I feel bad for how big he is because he can’t do some of the stuff that regular people do. So I do see him as trapped in celebrity sometimes but I’ll take that.”
When asked to name his top 5 rappers dead or alive, Boogie replied: “My top five is always rotating so I’m gonna say with no order, its Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Tupac and Eminem. Was Eminem political choice? Nah. He might be number one when we talk about the ability to rap.”
Boogie then gives some other details from his upcoming album: “As of now, I have four rapper features and the album is coming out in the next 40 days.
Four icons of the West Coast – Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Too Short and E-40 are gearing up for the release of their supergroup album Mt. Westmore which is set to be released on June 7, 2022.
The supergroup have recently released video for “Bad MF’s” with Snoop Dogg’s official YouTube channel listing the release date of April 20, 2022 in the video’s description but the group decided the reschedule the date and about an hour ago, Snoop announced the release date on Instagram with the caption: “June 7th. The wait is over. BadMFs.”
Mt. Westmore is confirmed to feature Dr. Dre, as well as Eminem who will be featured on the track titled “From Detroit To The LBC”.
In an interview with Smoke-A-Lot Radio, Too Short confirmed that Dr. Dre produced one song on the project, and ProHoeZak has confirmed he produced four tracks (“Won’t You Come Back”, “Canday”, “I Got Pull”, and “Aqua Boogie“), and DJ Pooh confirmed through Instagram that he and Fredwreck jointly produced a track called “Ball of Confusion”.
Few months back, Snoop Dogg talked about his collaboration with Eminem: “There is Snoop Dogg and Eminem song on my Westmore album. It is called “From Detroit to the LBC.” That motherf**ker slapped. That s**t is HUH! It was very challenging for me. Eminem really f**king shot at me. He shot his shot and as a rapper that’s what you want when you get a feature, to have to work you f**king a** off. He is going that hard because he knows I’m going to match him on the same level and that’s what it is when you making records with people that you love. It’s competitive but for the right reason. To bring the best out of each other.”
Westside Boogie has recently sat down with No Jumper for an interview where the Shady Records artist revealed an untold pandemic story about Eminem.
“Eminem told me a story, I probably should not be saying that story, he told me a story how he was riding a bike around his old neighborhood recently, he go by himself, with no security, with the mask on and he was just riding around his neighborhood. He tripped over like curb or something. Random Eminem story, he probably get mad at me but I want to expose him: HE FELL OVER THE CURB OFF HIS BIKE.”
“Sometimes I feel like he’s trapped celebrity. He that huge. He can’t go nowhere…We are artists, he is just like me. I don’t like being around people. I think if me and Eminem sit in a room for two hours and nobody else, there’s probably be no words. I’m gonna be sitting like ‘alright,” he probably be sitting ‘alright.’ He will try to rap somewhere, I will rap somewhere.” said Boogie
You can watch the interview below:
Eminem running around on his bike is so pure and why do I feel like him and boogies convo went like this:

Eminem has just released the expanded edition of his legendary album, “The Eminem Show,” for its 20 years anniversary, which includes a track titled “Jimmy, Brian and Mike” which was scrapped from another classic album, “The Marshall Mathers LP.”
Eminem’s manager and long-time friend, Paul Rosenberg went on Instagram to share a little story behind the song:
“20 short years ago today we released Eminem’s third Aftermath/Interscope album THE EMINEM SHOW! There was a song that Proof and Denaun Porter always loved and begged Em to release, called “Jimmy, Brian and Mike” that for whatever reason he just never finished beyond demo stages. A couple months ago for this EXPANDED EDITION release Em went back to the lab, recalled the sessions, finished the chorus and put the touches on it so that it could be included in the Bonus Tracks added to the album – along with some previously unavailable for streaming gems like “Stimulate”, freestyles, instrumentals and live performances including Eminem’s legendary first headline NYC show at Tramp’s and others. Please sit back and enjoy the show. Link in bio.” – said Paul.
Mike Saputo, who has previously worked with Eminem many occasions, designed the cover art for the expanded edition and revealed that vinyls are on its way: “For the 20th anniversary of The Eminem Show, we put on some shiny new curtains to celebrate. Jimmy, Brian and Mike approved. Extended Edition available now. Working up some nice vinyl packaging soon!”
For its 20 years anniversary, Eminem has just released the expanded edition of his classic 2002 album, The Eminem Show.
Expanded Edition includes never before heard song, titled “Jimmy, Brian and Mike” which was recorded for The Marshall Mathers LP, “Bump Heads,” featuring G-Unit members 50 Cent, Tony Yayo, and Lloyd Banks, which is a diss song towards Ja Rule, “Stimulate” which was scrapped from the album and was replaced by “Say Goodbye To Hollywood” and “The Conspiracy Freestyle” from DJ Green Lantern’s album.
The album also features live versions of the songs “Brain Damage,” “Freestyle #1,” “The Way I Am,” “The Real Slim Shady,” “Just Don’t Give A Fuck,” and instrumentals of “Business,” “Square Dance,” “Without Me,” “Sing For The Moment,” “Superman,” “Say What You Say,” and “‘Till I Collapse.”
After visiting Power 106 for L.A. Leakers freestyle, Westside Boogie spoke with Variety magazine at The Bakerie in downtown Los Angeles about what it meant to contribute to Kendrick Lamar’s new album “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers,” his experience in the music business, his forthcoming album, “More Black Superheroes,” how Eminem discovered him and more.
Let’s start with “Purple Hearts.” How does it feel to get a track on Kendrick’s album?
It feels amazing. One, because everybody knows that’s one of my favorite rappers of all time. Also, it’s a big leap for me — writing for somebody. I never co-wrote. … My boy Justice blessed me with the opportunity and trusted me. It also helps having LVRN as your management, because, you know, they’re plugged. [Laughs]
What was the creative process like?
It was hard at first … tapping into being a girl. I was doing my little parts at home and I didn’t tell my homies what I was doing. … It’s a little more free when you’re doing it for somebody else. Because as artists, we get trapped in the mind of the artist we’re supposed to be, or how people already see us as. So we do them same type of records because it’s safe. But when it’s for somebody else, you can do whatever.
Do you have a favorite track off Kendrick’s album besides “Purple Hearts”?
“Count Me Out” is my favorite. He was just gassing on there, the way he was rapping. It felt super vulnerable saying how he shared too much and cared too much. I felt that bar, that was heavy for me.
How do you view Kendrick’s place in hip-hop?
He’s Mount Rushmore — one of my GOATs and he has to be one of the rap GOATs. It’s amazing. It’s Compton. Compton is the best music city in the world. No matter what my manager Justice has to say about Atlanta, Compton runs the world.
Eminem said to Dr.Dre that the Kendrick album left him speechless?
Yeah he tweeted Dr. Dre. Eminem’s hilarious on social media. He chooses to tweet Dr.Dre about the Kendrick album, that is so funny to me. I love him.
How has your experience been at Shady?
It’s amazing, that’s my boy. Obviously he’s one of the biggest rappers ever, so there’s that benefit. He opened my career to a whole other fanbase so I’m forever grateful for that. You can always take so much in from him because he’s one of the GOATs.
How were you first discovered by Eminem?
I was signed in 2015. I had a manager named Clayton, who I had reached my ceiling with. Him and my label had a disconnect a little bit. I guess the term would be, I was shelved for two years. My A&R Tim [Glover, EVP at Interscope Records], he loved me. He was the first person to sign me. He got me the opportunity to meet with LVRN… I was on the shelf. I was living in this apartment in Torrance. I got a call from Tim, who said, “Yo, somehow, Eminem heard your music from Paul, He wants to fly you out.” So I flew out the next day, then I was signed. Around that time, I met LVRN. My life started changing, so I could say it was a consistent belief in myself.
While we are waiting for long-awaited sophomore LP titled “More Black Superheroes,” which is led by two singles “Aight,” featuring Shelley aka DRAM and “Stuck,” Westside Boogie made his third visit to the L.A. Leakers at Power 106 to deliver some serious bars over the instrumentals for Benny The Butcher’s “Johnny P’s Caddy,” featuring J. Cole and Kanye West’s “Drive Slow” and brought his alter egos SuperBlood Boog and Ratchet Boog with him.
Some of the memorable bars include: “The rhythm I had to catch, the strings that I had to stretch, I’ve been beat, but it’s all instrumental to my success, I’m in deep, I took too many lefts and lost my direction, how I end up on this search to be accepted? The lessons say the world in my possession, I could reach it ’cause it’s near, yea I’m hungry but I feed into the fears, know you, least I been aware, you know, in my mind I’m screaming out for air, ’cause I swear it’s more deep than it appears…”
“More Black Superheroes” is the follow-up for his 2019 Shady Records debut album “Everythings For Sale” which included 13 songs and guest appearances from JID, Eminem, 6LACK, Christian Scott, Shaé Universe, and Snoh Aalegra.
After teasing new collaboration with CeeLo Green, produced by Dr. Dre, for the “Elvis” movie, Eminem is dropping the expanded edition of his 2002 album, The Eminem Show, dropping tomorrow (May 26, 2022).
The Detroit legend shared the update on his social media accounts with the caption: “Well, if you want Shady, this is what I’ll give ya” The Eminem Show 20th Anniversary Expanded Edition drops Thursday 5/26.”
In the video, animated Eminem is sitting in front of the screens where the singles of the album are being played: “Without Me,” “White America,” “Sing For The Moment,” “Superman,” and “Cleanin’ Out My Closet.”
It is yet unknown what exactly will be included in expanded edition but we can expect instrumentals, some demo versions of the original songs or maybe never-before-heard song from 2002.
“Elvis” is an upcoming biographical musical film directed by Baz Luhrmann, from a screenplay written by Luhrmann, Sam Bromell, Craig Pearce, and Jeremy Doner, with a story by Luhrmann and Doner.
The movie tells the life and career of pop and movie star Elvis Presley (Austin Butler) as well as his relationship with his manager Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks). Luke Bracey, David Wenham, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Kodi Smit-McPhee, Gary Clark Jr., and Richard Roxburgh also star.

The film chronicles the life and career of singer and actor Elvis Presley, from his early days as a child to becoming a pop star and movie star, as well as his complex relationship with his manager Colonel Tom Parker.
As it seems, the main theme song for the movie will be Eminem’s new song, titled “The King And I,” featuring CeeLo Green. You can preview the teaser and the song below:
Since Logic announced he was coming out of rap retirement with a seventh studio album earlier this year, fans have been eagerly awaiting news of the release. The retirement, which was more of a year-long break, saw Logic later release a compilation and mixtape titled YS Collection Vol. 1 and Bobby Tarantino III respectively.
The Maryland rapper recently took to Instagram to share that he is officially ready to unveil to the world his upcoming album which will be titled Vinyl Days. To promote the new project, Logic did question and answer session on Twitter.
One of the fans asked what was the most surreal moment he has ever had on which he replied: “Probably meeting Eminem… Like, dude, I used to record his songs from the radio onto a cassette and listen over and over because I was too poor to afford buying music. ‘Forgot About Dre’ was literally on side A and B of a tape I made Nardwuar, there is a fact lol.”
