After “FACK” going viral on TikTok and “Love The Way You Lie” becoming a cancel-hit for Gen-Z, Eminem’s another song goes viral on the platform.
Slim Shady’s 2009 track “My Mom” from “Relapse” album has made it to TikTok and is being used to soundtrack some illuminating stories about mothers.
It seems this sound comes from the account drippingwax, which claims that “My mother grew up with Eminem’s brother, seems she took some of his moms traits.” which now has more than 1 million views and some other follow-ups has more than 2 million.
In a new interview with Michael Bennett, on the radio show called Most Requested Live, on Sunday, Ed Sheeran he revealed his favorite Eminem lyrics and the special gift the UK singer sent to Slim Shady:
“My favorite Eminem lyrics? In ‘Criminal’ when he raps: ‘Windows tinted on my ride when I drive in it (Go, go, go!) / So when I rob a bank, run out and just dive in it / So I’ll be disguised in it and if anybody identifies / The guy in it, I hide for five minutes / Come back, shoot the eyewitness / Fire at the private eye hired to pry in my business
Die b**ches, bastards, brats, pets / This puppy’s lucky I didn’t blast his a*s yet.’ just that, the flow of that is just f**king amazing.”
“We have done like three tunes together. He is one of the reasons I started writing music. When I did the collaborations project, I’ve sent everyone really really nice bottle of wine. He’s one hundred percent sober so I didn’t send him wine but I know he’s a big gamer so I sent him Nintendo 64 with Golden Eye on it.”
T.I. has recently done an Instagram live session where he talked about the potential Verzuz opponents.
“If 50 Cent don’t do it, give me anybody swagger like us, anybody who was swagger like us. I don’t think anybody can beat Lil Wayne but I answer all callers. Eminem would be dope to, I f**k with Em…If Fifty don’t wanna do it, I will deal with it.” said Tip.
Eminem and T.I has previously collaborated on two occasions: “Touch Down” (2007) and “That’s All She Wrote” (2011).
Both artists have many hits on their belt, but can T.I. really compete Eminem? Check out the Instagram live below:
IT’S IN. The first interim heavyweight champion in Bellator MMA history is Valentin Moldavsky.
With current champion Ryan Bader in the middle of the light heavyweight grand prix in hopes to once again become a simultaneous 2-division champion, the promotion moved forward with the interim title fight between Moldavsky and Timothy Johnson to headline Bellator 261 last Friday night at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
The first fight of the night was between Christian Edwards and Simon Biyong. Edwards walked out to Eminem’s 2002 work-out hit song “Till I Collapse,” featuring Nate Dogg and won the fight with unanimous decision. ‘Eminem curse‘ does not effect Christian Edwards!

Ed Sheeran has released his comeback single ‘Bad Habits.’ To celebrate this awesome news, Ed Sheeran spoke to Fergal D’Arcy on TodayFM, where the superstar singer revealed the work ethic he learned from Eminem:
“In music, especially in American music, it is normal thing to work from 6pm to 6 am. This is not a normal schedule at all. Normal schedule is from 9am to 5pm. I actually learned it from Eminem. He does it. Eminem is like so strict when he works. I think he gets in at 10am and he leaves at 5pm, no matter what. And lunch is when lunch is.” – said Ed Sheeran.
“And it works. If you have family, you family can’t rely on someone who is fluid.” he adds.

Akon also talked about Eminem’s work ethic couple of times during the interviews. One of the cases was HOT 97 inter view from 2019:
“Smack That song has interesting story behind. Working with him made me look at the business differently cause he was the first artist that I’ve worked with that actually treated the business like a real job.”
“He comes in at 9 A.M every day to the studio, takes his lunch break at 1 A.M, and is out of there by 5 PM. It’s like a schedule. I did not expect that from him. The first day I come, I come around 6 A.M.. Like we going to do an evening session. I get to the studio, they said ‘Em just left!’ He said ‘I am out of here!’ I said ‘I just got to the studio, you coming back here?’ He said, ‘yeah, I’ll be back there at 9 AM.”
“I was like, you joking right? but he was like I’ll see you at 9A.M. so I get there on 9 and he shows up exactly on time. Plays some beats, we vibing, Em’s like, ‘yo I am about to go out for lunch.’ I said I will meet you after…He goes takes his lunch, after an hour comes back. I play him the record, play him the chorus. He is like oh, this is it!”
“He goes into his verse. 5 PM comes. He’s halfway in. He’s like ‘alright bro, I’ll see you tomorrow. At this point, I’m like ‘Yo, this is crazy right! but then Em said ‘I just like to be here. I treat it like real job. I don’t make it no more than what it’s supposed to be. I don’t let it stress me out, stay longer than I have to. I got a family, I got a daughter. I want to make time.”
“I was like ‘damn, he is right. Some days I am in the studio three, four days. I do not come out. Don’t see my kids, don’t call my wife, none of that. I am sitting here like, [Em’s way] makes a lot of sense. Ain’t nothing gon’ change between today and tomorrow.”
“I met him next day and told him ‘you know what bro, you just gave me whole new outlook on how to treat the business. I don’t force it like I used to.”
To celebrate 10th year anniversary of his “Finally Famous” album, Big Sean has remixed and remastered the album, which includes guest appearances from Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Kanye West, John Legend, The-Dream and Pusha-T.
The deluxe re-release also includes one never-before-heard song from the “Finally Famous” era called “Freshman 10 (Freestyle),” in which the Detroit rapper references Eminem and Dr. Dre with the following lines:
“And at that time, ni**as peep ni**as was stealin’ flows and buildin’ off it (Off it), And at that time, that ni**a Ye was like, “Dre, I’m just tryin’ to make them Ms off it” (EMs)”
“Sing 2,” the sequel to the 2016 animated movie, where Hollywood superstar Matthew McConaughey played a koala who is hosting a singing competition to save his struggling theater is coming out on Christmas.

The Game is back with the bars. The Compton rapper teams up with DJ Kayslay for their lethal collaboration, “72 Bar Assassin.” Over the menacing beat, Game unleashes a series of brash and unapologetic rhymes.
In the song, Game mocks Diddy with the following lines: “Flow like a condom / Ni**as still not fu**in’ with it. King of New York, king of L.A. / And I don’t give a f**k what Diddy say / My semi spray.”
He also addresses a Verzuz battle rumors with 50 Cent “Just to talk about a Verzuz with 50 / Tell Swizzy I need a hundred cash.”
Later, he shouts out Young Buck and Lloyd Banks: “Can’t see me now, couldn’t see me with Young Buck and ’em / Shout out to Lloyd Banks, album go hard, ni**a.. You supposed to do your squad like Yo Gotti do ’em / Therefore it’s still the Unit long as I can still move ’em.”
