Mr. Porter, who has recently celebrated his 44th birthday, interacted with music industry executive, artists and repertoire representative, and record producer, Dante Ross on twitter.
The Grammy-nominated producer asked his followers who has the best voice in hip-hop, on which Denaun replied: “Prodigy, Eminem, CeLoo Green, Andre 3000 and Redman.”
Mr. Porter has not released a full project for more than 3 years but he was a bit more active in 2022 than in previous years. The former D12 member released five singles this year, including: “Never Say,” “Me Vs You,” “I’m Leaving,” “Not Again,” and “Let You Go.” He also performed at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame ceremony with Eminem, Steve Tyler and Ed Sheeran.
Last time Denaun came with full body of work was in 2019, when he dropped 15 solo tracks album, titled “Letter 2 Sydney” and 6-tracked EP, called “While You Wait,” featuring Joi Tiffany and Marwon. They were the follow-up of his 2015 project, “Stuff In My Backpack.”
American-British internet personality and former world kickboxing champion in two different weight divisions Andrew Tate seems not to be a fan of Eminem as he called the Detroit hip-hop legend a “crybaby” in one of his latest tweets.
One of the fans on social media created a clip of Tate with Eminem’s 2002 hit song “Sing For The Moment” from the classic The Eminem Show album playing in the background and asked him to rate his “latest edit.” The internet superstar replied: “Do not like Eminem. He is a Crybaby. HAYLEY, HAYLEY, HAYLEY! Bro it has been like 30 years, shut up?!”
Dont like eminem. Hes a Crybaby.
HAYLEY HAYLEY HAYLEY bro its been like 30 years shut up?
While some of the fans agreed, a lot of people came forward to defend Slim Shady. One user commented: “Bro, you lost my respect and all the Stans.” Another replied: “Boy, he’s Eminem. Not Lil Nas X. Get ready for backfire.” Someone commented: “Eminem is bigger Top G than you bro.”
Andrew Tate, who received overnight fame for his highly controversial opinions about women and other topics, was recently banned from different social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, TikTok and Instagram.

To promote their new Mount Westmore album, Ice Cube, E-40 and Too $hort has recently visited Bootleg Kev for an exclusive interview where the crew talked about record contracts, financial investing, new album and much more.
At one point of the interview, the legendary hip-hop figures talked about Dr. Dre.
E-40: I think Dr. Dre is the greatest producer in hip-hop, of all time. He’s a perfectionist. He’s on our Mount Westmore album. I think we are going to get songs out of Dre. We love Dre.
Bootleg Kev: Yo, how close you all were to do a f—ing new N.W.A. with Snoop? Where are those songs at?
Ice Cube: Not close at all. We were about to get into it and then he met Eminem and then he met 50 Cent. [Smiles] He met those two dudes and that just took his attention. We will now get something out of Dre. He has been sending me a lot of music.
E-40: Dre is a genius. Hopefully we get something out of him.
Too $hort: He was an early on Mount Westmore supporter. He got caught wind of the project early through Snoop. He pulled up with Snoop in studio. He put a snapper approve. He jumped on a song! We got a song with him but it didn’t make in this album. That will be on the second album.
In the same interview, E-40 addressed his “Busta Rhymes will eat Eminem in Verzuz battle” comments he made earlier this year and him and Ice Cube expressed his desire to work with Slim Shady.
Earlier this year, legendary rapper E-40 visited Jalen and Jacoby on their show where he talked about Busta Rhymes potentially facing Eminem in a Verzuz battle where he said: “I’m gonan keep it one thousand. I love Eminem. I love Busta too, to the fullest and his talent speak for himself but Busta Rhymes will eat Eminem in a Verzuz battle. I really believe that. Busta Rhymes go crazy! Because now its turned to performance type of situation. Busta Rhymes is animated. He got gas. He rap fast. He has all that. He do all the stuff Eminem do and Busta Rhymes got up-temp slash to get the party going.”
To promote their new album, Mount Westmore have recently sat down with Bootleg Kev where E-40 clarified his statement and expressed his desire to work with Slim Shady.
Bootleg Kev: For each of you guys, is there a feature that has not happened yet, for whatever reason the planets didn’t align, and you don’t have a song with them yet?
Ice Cube: Nas, Rakim. I think everybody in their emcee life wanna do a song with Rakim at some point. These are the OGs. I think I can do a good song with Busta Rhymes. Me and him can do a dope song together. These are the ones that I think about that I know we could probably do something crazy.
Too $hort: For me it was always the one answer. Me, Missy Elliott and Timbaland on the same record. I want that.
E-40: I would say Jay-Z, Nas, Q-Tip, KRS One, Missy Elliott, Trick Daddy. I’d love to do a song with Eminem. I want to address the Eminem situation. A lot of his fans thought that I was dissing him. No, I could never do that. He’s one of the greatest emcees that ever did it. Somebody had asked me who would win in a Verzuz battle between Eminem and Busta Rhymes and I said Busta Rhymes. Because Verzuz is about live performance, I was not knocking Eminem. Busta got lot of hits and he get the party going. Busta on live is crazy. That’s all I meant. I was not trying to diss. I would never diss Eminem he’s one of the greats if not the great.
Later in the interview, E-40 added that he wants to do a song with THE LOX and Ice Cube said: “Oh yeah, I wanna do a song with Eminem too.” Watch the interview below:
Legendary DJ Quik decided to get somethings off his chest on social media while reflecting on his iconic musical career.
West Coast’s G-Funk sound architect expressed his thoughts that he believes his career should match the mainstream acclaim of his longtime friend, another legendary producer, Compton’s finest Dr. Dre.
“I know it is early. But I deserve to be where Dre is. I do not think it is fair, but I understand why. I have never had a machine behind me, that always hurt my friends more than it did me.” said DJ Quik on Twitter.
Then he continued: “This does not need to be on a podcast. Because you have fire starters, who want to spin everything to get more ratings. But the truth is: I love Dr. Dre, like a big brother, one I never had. It pains me when people pit us against each other.”
“I know I will never be as popular as I need to be, but I have 10s of artists superstars. And when they shine, I just smile. The janitor doesn’t get all the glory, but he keeps the backstage, clean as a triage.” DJ Quick added but the series of the tweets did not spot there.
“This is not a meltdown, I’m just expressing myself as neutrally as I can.” he said. You can check all the tweets below:
I know it’s early. But I deserve to be where Dre is. I don’t think it’s fair, but I understand why. I’ve never had a machine behind me, that always hurt my friends more than it did me.

There is no automatic winning lottery ticket for everyone Periodt. On this planet, you get what you get. But it’s what you do with what you have been given to work with that makes you a star.
I know I’ll never be as popular as I need to be, but I have 10s of artists superstars! And when they shine, I just smile. The janitor doesn’t get all the glory, but he keeps the backstage, clean as a triage.

Qatar is the first Arab country to host the FIFA World Cup and it has produced the Arab world’s first quarterfinalist: MOROCCO.
In the history of World Cup, Morocco became only the 4th African country to reach the quarterfinals at the biggest Football tournament in the world by surprisingly beating one of the most finest European football country, Spain, 3-0 in a penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw all the way through the extra time.
The Moroccans has played only their second knockout game at a World Cup history. Other Arab nations that participated in this tournament were Qatar (the hosts), Saudi Arabia and Tunisia but all of them were eliminated in the group stages, even though Saudi Arabia began the tournament with one of the biggest upsets in history by defeating Maradona and Messi’s home country: ARGENTINA.
The game’s 120 minutes could not reveal the winner so the penalty shootout was ahead. To give the players motivation, Eminem‘s biggest hit, Oscar and Grammy-winning song “Lose Yourself” was played at the Education City Stadium.
“They are now playing Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” before the Spain vs Morocco penalty shootout. I wonder who Slim Shady would support.” wrote ESPN FC journalist Cesar Hernandez on his social media accounts.

Two of those guys, Skam and A.L., were at the Rap Olympics with Eminem so I threw them all on the track together. I recorded it in Spinna’s basement studio in Brooklyn. Em was pretty quiet, he didn’t have the blonde hair, but when he dropped that verse everyone in the studio was surprised. I kinda had an idea that he was going to go on to do more.”

During the recent episode of The Big Podcast, legendary Shaquille O’Neal had a completely different energy. The Los Angeles Lakers legend seemed to be in a mood of destroying everything that came in his sight. Shaq made a jaw-dropping move while trying to prove his point and he actually warned ‘Eminem’ and ‘Kanye East’ of dire consequences.
The 4-time NBA champion and his crew discussed various issues including Patrick Beverley & Deandre Ayton’s scuffle during the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns. O’Neal also gave his take on Ruby Gobbert’s supportive comments toward his team Minnesota Timberwolves as well. However, the most hilarious moment of the episode was Shaquille O’Neal going all crazy just to prove a point.
During the interview, the Big Diesel went into beast mode and claimed that he did not want to sit in his chair anymore. Just to prove his point, Shaq broke the massive thronelike chair he was sitting on, leaving Tuner and Spice Adams laughing hysterically. Eventually, the chair could not take Shaq’s power and collapsed completely. The Big Diesel proclaimed that he would sit in the tilted chair the whole episode.
However, the 15-time All-Star took the banter to a completely different level by firing shots at ‘Kanye East’ and ‘Slim Shady’. After Shaq, Spice Adams also tried to continue the banter by pretending to break his chair. Hilariously, the NFL veteran ended up actually breaking the chair leaving Shaq and Turner laughing their hearts out.
The whole fiasco led to a fiery comment from the Lakers legend. Shaquille O’Neal proclaimed emphatically, “If my chair ain’t like this next week when I’m coming. I’m gonna tear this whole goddamn studio up. Do not touch my chair. I’m telling you now Kenny Rogers, Kanye East, Slim Shady, ZZ Top in the back.”
Where this names come from? Shaq had actually renamed his crew members by the names of some iconic rappers like Kanye West, Eminem, and singer Kenny Rogers based on rough similarities in their appearances. And now it has turned into a running inside joke.
Tony Yayo has recently sat down with VLAD TV where he talked about Eminem and revealed that he and his hommies run down Benzino during his beef with Slim Shady.
“[Eminem just got inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame] shout out to Eminem. One of the greatest. Shout out to Eminem. Always loved Eminem. Big accomplishment to being one of the best emcees in the world. Shout out to Eminem. Give him his flowers while he’s still here.” said YaYo
Then he continues: “He has always helped me in my career. He’s on my first album. He wore a Free Yayo shirt at the Grammys. So, I’m always gonna show him respect and love and salute him as well as Dr. Dre and everybody who else built this legacy. As well as Jimmy Iovine too. Cause Jimmy Iovine was a genius. Eminem was a genius. Dr. Dre was a genius. And we all fell in line. That was the best deal ever.”
“I feel like Eminem always got hated on. From, you know, Benzino and Source Magazine was big at that time, they were calling us ‘house ni–as’ and all kind of s–t back then when we were signed to Eminem. Color never really meant nothing to me. I’m from New York. It’s a Melting Pot of a color. I went to grade school and my first two friends were Ralphie and Frank Harveen. I say it again he was an Italian. I never seen color. It was white, it was black, it was Indian, Jewish, Spanish, Haitian, Jamaican, Trinidadian, Guyanese… So, I never felt that way.”
“Nobody every did anything in my career besides Eminem and 50 Cent. And I always say, him doing Free Yayo while I was in jail, I only had to do about two years and they kept my name alive. They started putting my name in the videos and Free Yayo shirt was selling. I’m always gonna salute him…Being attached to Eminem was the best deal, without Eminem and Dr. Dre we would not have that much of a success. Jimmy Iovine, Interscope, Shady, Aftermath – it was a f–king movement that was just f–king unstoppable. And you’ve seen how Eminem singlehandedly took down The Source magazine cause Benzino was always just f–king mad. I don’t know why but he was just always mad.”
“I remember me and my hommies run down on Benzino in Miami. I think that was the year when Suge got shot. I was on my ignorant s–t. We ran down on Benzino and I’m like ‘yo, why you always put me on magazine talking like that’ and he was like ‘yo we will give you a pass, you want it?’ I was like ‘yeah, I want the pass!’ but at the end of the day that’s an old s–t. I don’t wanna go back and forth with the ni–as online. I don’t do that. But the beef between Benzino and Eminem, I don’t know what it was, he was always mad at Em. And I looked at Eminem as a dude that looking out for us. F–k what color he is. He can f–king spit bars, he got f–king platinum records, he’s humble as f–k, he don’t bother nobody. But once you say something about him or his daughter, it’s a rap, he gonna rip your f–king head off lyrically and that’s what he did with the Nails In The Coffin. Rip motherf–kers head off. That’s what he’s gonna do. Trust me, Eminem is a type of dude that got diss records for everybody, you never know, he probably got diss records for me. He’s one of them motherf–kers.” – said Tony Yayo
“Even though I would never disrespect him. But he’s one of the motherf–kers who eat, sleep, s–t hip-hop. One of the top emcees in the world bro. I don’t give a f–k what color he is. He did me a favor that he didn’t have to!” he added.
