Ebro Darden & Peter Rosenberg discuss The Game saying he’s better than Eminem

Ebro Darden and Peter Rosenberg have recently discussed The Game saying he’s better than Eminem on his recent Drink Champs interview.

Ebro Darden: If we talking about Verzuz, song for song, hit for hit, I think Eminem bests The Game there. He just got more. If we are talking about rapping skills, Is Game saying he’s better than Eminem in a real rap battle?!

Peter Rosenberg: Let’s say, DJ played an instrumental, and you both went on to get after it, you think you can rap better than Eminem? That’s a very bold statement for anyone to say. Very bold. But catalog? I might argue I like Game’s catalog more than Eminem’s. That’s a fine argument to have a conversation about. Who has better albums or songs you enjoy. I’m a big fan of Game’s music but verse is tough when it comes to battle rap. Eminem is kinda on the highest level. And then when it comes to smashes, they may not be our records we all love on this show but the big smashes…

Ebro Darden: I consider Game a friend in the industry. I like him as a human being. Eminem raps better than you fam. And I love you, but I’m being honest with you. Eminem as a rapper is one of the best to rhyme. Just on patterns and styles alone. He’s got characters, he has got styles, he has got voices and patterns. He is vocabularically very good. But I will tell you what I do love here. I know The Game is about to put out some music. So, Game, I love the roll-out, my guy. Great roll-out. Big promo!

The Game tells Eminem to get into the studio together to prove he’s better rapper

The Game has doubled down on his assertion he is a “better rapper” than Eminem after he made similar comments during his recent appearance on Drink Champs.

Yesterday, Game shared a clip on Instagram, saying: “When you all say Eminem is better and all that, I see it, I see it. I feel you. And you know what? If you feel like Eminem is better than me, that’s your opinion. But there is a lot of people that feel like I am better than Eminem, and that is their opinion. Me, personally, is Eminem better than me? Nah, he not, bro.”

“I think the best way to see if he is or if I am is…S**t ni**a, let’s rap about it. Let’s get up and get into the studio. Let’s do something, let’s put something out. Let’s see, ’cause that’s what this s**t is, bro. It’s rap.”

“I am striving to be the best human that I can possibly be — the best rapper, the best father, the best friend. I also gave Eminem his props in the same accord. As far as being better than me, nah. Eminem is not better than me. Bro, I am better than him. I said it again and I will keep saying it again, bro. It is what it is.”

Royce 5’9″ says he didn’t take Eminem’s side against Slaughterhouse

Last month, Joell Ortiz and Kxng Crooked announced that they are releasing a collaboration project, titled The Rise and Fall of Slaughterhouse on March 11, 2022.

After hearing the very first single “Vacancy,” Joe Budden and Royce 5’9″ each opined on the move through social media, expressing displeasure.

Joe and Royce had much more to say, in a lengthy Instagram Live conversation. After nearly an hour, Joell Ortiz joined the late Friday night discussion. The exchange got heated, especially between Joell and Joe.

Now the two did an Instagram live session again, where Royce revealed something that nobody knew.

“They are like ‘oh you took Joe’s side.’ Do you know how insulting that is? To be accused of taking somebody’s side against somebody else’s? I didn’t even take Eminem’s side against Slaughterhouse and that’s my beloved, my loved one. If I was looking at it from an economic standpoint, I would choose Bad Meets Evil over Slaughterhouse!” said Royce.

Kanye West might have taken inspiration from Eminem for his Donda event

Last year, Kanye West debuted his 10th solo studio album DONDA and at a third event hosted in his hometown of Chicago at Soldier Field, he brought out DaBaby and Marilyn Manson.

The audience was greeted with a recreation of Ye’s childhood home in the center of the arena where Kanye appeared with the mask on.

Back in 2001, at his Anger Management Tour, Eminem also brought recreation of his house on stage with the Jason mask on, and Slim Shady also brought out Marilyn Manson on stage.

Lots of coincidence, huh?

Check the fan’s theory below:

Joe Budden & Joell Ortiz got into heated argument about Slaughterhouse break-up

Kxng Crooked and Joell Ortiz have recently announced their new collaborative project, titled “The Rise And Fall Of Slaughterhouse.” The two also dropped the first two singles off the project and Royce 5’9″ and Joe Budden are not happy about it.

Yesterday, Joe Budden and Joell Ortiz exchanged some harsh words on Instagram live chat. Things took a turn after Joell called out Budden and Royce Da 5’9 for spinning some “wild a*s narrative” about his and Crooked’s forthcoming album.

“Y’all out here running around with some wild a*s narrative, lying about me and Crooked like we went and took a bag. Y’all got people out here saying we doing things for a bag. I never done nothing for a bag.”

Joell continued, “Y’all know me better than that. If anybody spinning the narrative, it’s y’all two gentlemen. Especially you, Royce. You out here talking about the 25 percent. You had 25 percent and you burned it down. You doing all types of mathematical equations about housing ownership and s**t. The bottom line is this: Crooked brought a bag to the table for something y’all ain’t been f**king with for a long time.”

Joell later asked Joe to support the album instead of hate, on which, the response was pretty harsh: “Suck my ***k. Are you kidding me?” Joe snapped.

“N***a, suck my d**k, don’t go there. Don’t do that. That little comment right there. You gonna wish you retracted that one.” said Joell and left the chat.

The Game says he’s better than Eminem, calls out his Super Bowl performance

The Game has recent set down with NORE and DJ EFN for 4 hours long interview where the Los Angeles rapper talked about many things, including Eminem and Dr. Dre

“Ni**as say I’m angry about Super Bowl. I don’t give a f**k about that. I saw Dr. Dre. I saw 50 hanging upside down. I saw Mary. I had one problem with Super Bowl. One! You wanna know this? Eminem stepped on a Compton courthouse and it broke.”

“You would not know unless you have been in Compton courthouse or your mother was in a Compton courthouse fighting for custody of you like me or you seen your ni**as get sentenced to life in Compton courthouse then you might not mean nothing to you but it meant something for me.”

“Eminem is Eminem. I like Eminem. He’s one of the f**king good emcees. He raps hella. I used to think Eminem was better than me. He’s not. He not. HE IS NOT. Challenge it! It’s not drama. I’m not saying I want smoke with Eminem. I want smoke with Eminem, him and him.”

“I get this motivation from Ye cause he’s my Dre right now. It’s crazy that Ye did more for me in last two weeks than Dre did my whole career.” – said Game.

Conway The Machine releases music video of “Stressed,” ft. Wallo267

Taken from his most recent and Shady Records major-label debut album called God Don’t Make Mistakes, Conway The Machine released an accompanying music video for his Wallo267-assisted track, titled “Stressed.”

The song is about a number of his struggles, ranging from his cousin’s suicide to childhood abuse, the loss of his infant son, addiction, trauma and the Bells Palsy diagnosis that he’s suffered from since being shot in the head — which also almost killed him.

While sharing it on social media, Conway said: “It was tough opening up doors that I have not opened up in a while. This is my story and sharing it all with the world is different for me, but I was happy to do it. I know fans will love it.”

Tom MacDonald shows off physical items he received after purchasing Eminem’s NFT beat

Last year, Eminem released NFT bundle called “Stan’s Revenge” which included a beat produced by himself, along with some rare collectibles like Trading Cards, Action Figures, and a lot more.

“Stan’s Revenge” also included physical items like a pair of Shady XV Air Jordan Carhartt 4s, SSLP20 Film Strip signed by Eminem, and a signed Vinyl of “Infinite”.

The NFT was bought by Tom MacDonald on auction for $100,000 who used the original Eminem beat for a song titled “Dear Slim.”

The Canadian rapper now finally received the items from the “Stan’s Revenge” NFT, and shared it on his social media with the caption: “Remember when I got that Eminem beat and made “Dear Slim”? The physical items that came with the beat just arrived. An autographed vinyl of Eminem’s first album, “Infinite”. An autographed shadow box with film from the Slim Shady LP. And a pair of the Eminem Jordan’s. We definitely have our differences politically – which I sometimes poke fun at – but as a person and as a creative, it is nothing but the utmost respect. After all…the man is the reason I started rapping. Not sure if he would be stoked to hear that though. Any way you want to cut the cake… These are some historic items from one of the greatest rappers to ever live. I will tuck it away in a safe place and along with the “Dear Slim” video, they will serve as a reminder of the most epic thing any independent artist on the planet did last year. Maybe ever. Pretty rad.”

Eminem’s “Phenomenal” was used in Netflix’s “Fistful of Vengeance” movie

On February 17, 2022, Netflix released “Fistful of Vengeance” movie on their platform.

The film is about a revenge mission that becomes a fight to save the world from an ancient threat when superpowered assassin Kai tracks a killer to Bangkok.

In one of the scenes, the movie uses Eminem’s “Phenomenal” track, the first song released from the Southpaw Soundtrack, executive produced by Shady Records in 2015.

The song represents protagonist Billy Hope’s (Jake Gyllenhaal) struggle after his wife’s death and the loss of his daughter to child services.

The film’s narrative was inspired by Eminem’s struggle throughout his early career. Eminem was originally in the title role, but after putting the film on hold in 2012 to focus on his music, Jake Gyllenhaal joined on.

Check the video below to watch the “Phenomenal” scene from “Fistful of Vengeance” movie:

The Game says Kanye West did more for him in last two weeks than Dr. Dre ever did

N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN have shared a segment video of their interview with The Game on Drink Champs to promote the upcoming episode.

In a clip shared to Instagram,  the Los Angeles rapper makes a very bold claim regarding his relationships with Dr. Dre and Kanye West.

In a preview clip, The Game says: “It is crazy that Ye did more for me in the last two weeks than Dre did for me my whole career.”

After dropping their collaborative single “Eazy” last month, The Game performed with Kanye West at his Donda 2 listening event in Miami last week.

After signing to Aftermath Entertainment, back in 2003, Dr. Dre executive produced Game’s 2004 debut album The Documentary which sold  586,000 in its first week in the United States and debuted at No. 1 on Billboard 200.

Dr. Dre also produced Game’s biggest hit songs “Hate It Or Love It” and “How We Do” which debuted at No. 2 and No. 4 on Billboard Hot 100 charts respectively. This was the only time Game appeared inside the Top 20 of Hot 100 charts.

Yet, Game thinks Ye did more for him. You can check the clip below:
