Thistin Howl The 3rd was on Off the Cuff Radio and on this clip below, he talks about being in the Rap Olympics with Eminem and how he used to come to the hood everyday to kick it with them.
“Rap Olympics 1997 was a beautiful experience man. Gotta learned a lot, all my team members and you know being surrounded by a whole team of hungry battle freestyle rappers that will attack you at all times. That would sharpen you up even more. Everybody on my team was top-notch off the head was super skilled with it.”
“Me and Eminem, we both expected big things out of each other’s career. Eminem was really the truth, I believe he felt the same about me, and we always promise that whoever makes it first will be on each other’s albums. Eminem used to even come and hang out in Brownsville with me man. He was really skilled, he’s really the truth man, I can’t take anything away from that man. I’ll be hearing all these other people try to say he got this from so and so over, that man was exactly the way he was when I met him. He was a super MC, very humble very cool very down to earth, we got along well. A lot of times we wouldn’t even talk man, our whole conversation would be in rap form and freestyle, how hungry we were for it.”
In the latest Tour Tales episode, guitarist Rayfield Holloman talked the touring experience with Eminem. Check out the interview below.
Interviewer: From there, how did you connect with Eminem?
Rayfield Holloman: Adam Blackstone. He’s the chief dot connector. My introduction to Em was me filling in for Adam playing bass. Adam asked me and it felt like a daunting task because the guitar is my main instrument. To fill in for someone as skilled as Adam on a show with Eminem felt a little daunting at first. I definitely got through it. Once I met Eminem, I saw how cool and down to earth he was. In rehearsals, he’d be cracking jokes. It made me feel comfortable in that space. It was a relaxed atmosphere. He doesn’t make you feel you have to meet a certain standard. As long as you’re doing your job, you’re good. It was awesome to see how someone who is such a legend could be humble and super chill. I’ve seen large crowds at 50,000 seat stadiums and festivals. But, I had never played crowds larger than Eminem crowds. When Eminem does a show, especially overseas, it’s no less than 60,000 in the audience. To be in Milan, look out in the crowd, and there are 98,000 people there, I’m like, “Oh my! He’s a god.” They were all there to see him.
Interviewer: What is the wildest fan reaction you’ve seen at an Eminem show?
Rayfield Holloman: I’ve seen a few girls in the crowd topless at Eminem shows. I’m not going to hold you, I love shit like that (laughs). I love when you give it your all and be free. I think it was in Australia when we toured a few years ago. I’ve seen people bare it all out there.
Interviewer: What song during his shows do you feel fans can hear your biggest contribution?
Rayfield Holloman: I think one song where the guitar is highlighted would be on the song “The Way I Am.” At the end of that song when he performs it, there’s a guitar solo. It’s a highlight of the show. It’s when Em walks off and allows him to go backstage to take a breath. At the same time, it’s a very dynamic moment musically.
Interviewer: What shows did the pandemic cancel for you and what will be its long-lasting effect on touring?
Rayfield Holloman: In 2020, I had a whole calendar full of shows with a band called Robert Randolph and the Family Band. Robert is family to me and I’ve been touring on and off with him since 2006. We had a lot of shows lined up for 2020 that got cut short along with other possible opportunities. Even with Eminem, there were some things that were in the works that got shut down.
Few days ago, Az Izz of Outsidaz released a disstrack towards Eminem and later on, he went on DoggieDiamondsTV and bragged about how his diss track made Eminem to retire.
Young Zee, one of the founding members of the group, has recently responded to Az’s interview, exposing him for lying:
“Somebody sent me the link to that interview and I just heard bunch of bulls**t. I would not paying this little rat no attention but once I saw he talking about origin of Outsidaz I was like ‘bro why are you lying?’ He said lots of stuff about Em that’s totally not true. How he used to hang out with Em in my house? What he talking about? he met Eminem in a process of working on music. He thinks Eminem own him something? Em owns him nothing! He has no right to jump on Em. He thinks Eminem stole his style? That’s a total lie.”
“Eminem put me on mad s**t. Az Izz never did a tour with Eminem. I did 8 tours. He put me on 8 Mile soundtracks, D12, I made millions of dollars with Eminem. Literally millions of dollars. He doesn’t owe me nothing else. We are two people who rhymed together, that knew each other with respect of good rapping. He doesn’t owe me nothing. We did all this for the love of hip-hop and for the love of each other as a person.” – Said Young Zee

Eminem has recently visited Sports Center on ESPN with Dana White and it seems the debate got little heated.
In the short video clip shared by former UFC fighter, current comedian and podcast host Brendan Schaub, it appears that Eminem is critiquing the UFC president: “Best part of your opinion is that it does not matter and if every fighter that you had listened your opinion when you doubted them you would not have f**king league.”

Snoop Dogg has recently visited Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen where he finally addressed Eminem’s “Zeus” directly.
When the host let guests ask the question to Snoop Dogg, one of the guests asked about Eminem situation. Here is what Snoop replied:
“We are still friends. I think that is family business and I do not want to make more than it is. I mean, he said what he said, I respect that and we are just going to keep it right there. That is family business.”
This is the finally confirmation that Eminem and Snoop Dogg so called ‘beef’ has ended as soon as it escalated. You can watch the new video below:
Legendary rapper and producer Dr. Dre was back at home Saturday after being treated at a Los Angeles hospital for a reported brain aneurysm. He reportedly was released Friday from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
Dr. Dre hit the studio with Interscope producers right after a day he left hospital. Dem Jointz, who was heavily involved in Dre’s Compton album, hit Instagram with new picture and caption: “And we back! Detox 2021!”
ZumoKollie, who is also one of the producers and music engineer at Interscope, shared the same picture with caption: “Boss Back! Calling The Shots! It is going to be a long year for you all, man!”
“My big bro is super good. We working!” said 5 times Grammy winner producer Focus3Dots.
You can check out the full thing in the video below:
Back in April, 2020, DJ Whoo Kid went live on Instagram with Akon and played one of Dr. Dre’s remixed songs from vaulted Detox album.
The track is titled “Back Again” and features Akon. The original version of the song was recorded and unofficially released in 2005 and it features rapper Kai. This would have marked second collaboration between Dre and Akon since dropping “Kush,” back in 2010, which also features Snoop Dogg.
“That song was when we were all waiting for that Detox album” says Akon at the end of the video.
The beat of the song is definitely produced by Dr. Dre himself. You can bump it below!
On the Clubhouse meeting, Joe Budden, Royce Da 5’9″, N.O.R.E, Daz and more set down to talk about why Eminem and Snoop Dogg beef is bad for the culture.
Akino: I got a question for Daz and NORE, we know Eminem and Snoop Dogg beef is bad for the culture, but style-wise, what do you think about that type of battle? Would you be interested Snoop versus Em?
NORE: Hell no! The history is too deep man. Motherf**ers are grown men. We don’t need a rap battle at this point. Hell no. I just don’t wanna see Eminem and f**king Snoop Dogg cause of their relationship. That’s like step-children fighting. They both from same linear. They come from same f**king person that made Eminem great and a person who made Snoop great!
After that, NORE continues to little bit defend Joe Budden for saying his opinion about Eminem’s music. Royce also thinks Dr. Dre, 50 Cent or Fredwreck need to squash the beef before its too late.
Legendary music producer and rapper Dr. Dre said he is doing well after being hospitalized following brain aneurysm. Dre addressed his family, friends and fans on Instagram:
“Thanks to my family, friends and fans for their interest and well wishes. I’m doing great and getting excellent care from my medical team. I will be out of the hospital and back home soon,” he wrote. “Shout out to all the great medical professionals at Cedars. One Love!!” – says Dre.
