Few days ago, Cordae released a new album titled “From A Bird’s Eye View” and it includes a remix version of “Parables,” featuring Eminem.
In the song, Eminem raps: “I was painfully shy, now I’m proud of myself / Like Obama’s kids, I came outta my shell (Michelle)”
Em uses “My Shell” as the wordplay of “Michelle.” He is happy that he came out of his shell (Got over his tough times) which is compared with Obama’s daughters coming out of his wife (Giving birth).
Some of the TikTok users criticized Eminem for inappropriate use of words, with Joey Hip-Hop saying: “Ain’t no way Eminem actually thought this was a bar.”
Cordae responded in the comments: “It’s definitely a bar and I’m not just saying that cuz he on my album lol”
Popular tiktoker and hip-hop artist who goes by the name Tyrese Pope also commented: “It’s a bar, you trippin'”
Joe Budden and his crew have recently discussed Cordae’s new album “From A Bird’s Eye View” and talked about the Eminem collaboration “Parables,” (Remix).
“I think ‘Eminem we know you can rap’ is an unfair criticism. He has been doing this s**t. My beef is with people who keep letting him do this on their songs. Shut that s**t off! But you are not chopping Eminem off but you can’t rap for 3 minutes on my song dawg! He’s one of the rappers that you just never play around baddies.” – said Joe.
“But I will say, if you ask Em to come an do a song with you then maybe this is what you want him to do, cause if rappers keep letting him do this, extending the beat or he does it and sends it back and they just accept it then…I would cut his verse cause he cut mine! [Laughs]. Do that s**t with Wayne. Do that s**t with somebody that gonna do it back. He can rap for 5 minutes on Lil Wayne song but Wayne is never putting it out without Wayne rapping for 6 minutes. That will never happen. ‘Hey , rap all you want cause I’mma do it too. Do it there. Don’t do it with ni**as that are putting out 12s or 16s bars songs. What was it, was it Nas’ album that he did that s**t? He just goes off on very feature.” Joe added.
Later in the interview, Joe and his crew discussed Eminem and Kendrick Lamar “Love Game” song from 2013 and they called it ‘terrible.’
“That Eminem and Kendrick Lamar record is high on the list of worst record ever made by two superstars. It was a mess. That happened with Hova too. Who was on that record Kingdom Come? Was it Beyonce or Usher?” said Joe Budden.
T.I. has recently done a livestream on Instagram where he responded to the people who discredit his rapping abilities.
“Put us in godd**n booth together. Put us in a studio together to make a song. Let’s see who got hard time telling who godd**n came out on top. I guarantee you motherf**kers. I don’t give a f**k who it is man. Eminem, Jay-Z, Drake, the bests in the business. Put us in the same song! Put us in a studio doing the same song at the same motherf**kin’ time and just watch what will happen. Just watch. That’s all I’m saying and that’s undeniable.” said TIP.
“It kinda perturbs me when motherf**kers put me in a class or category that I just don’t belong. Commercially they doing well and making good money but when it comes to bars and rapping and s**t…C’MON MAN! Cut the nonsense!” he added.
T.I. and Eminem have previously collaborated in two occasion. “Touch Down” from T.I.’s 2007 album T.I. Vs. T.I.P., and “That’s All She Wrote,” from T.I.’s 2010 album No Mercy.

Back in 2013, Eminem released critically acclaimed song “Rap God” as the third single from his eighth studio album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2.
The song entered the Guinness World Records as the hit single that contains the most words. “Rap God” was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance in 2014.

A twitter user named @themrcii_ shared the snippet of the remix and asked Paul to have a listen. Few hours later, Paul responded with: “Post a link to the whole thing. Sounds cool.”
Cordae has recently released a new album From A Bird’s Eye View which included a song “Parables” (Remix), featuring Eminem.
To promote his new project, Cordae visited Nessa’s show where he talked about the album and having multiple conversations with Eminem:
“Eminem did an interview [with Kxng Crooked] and he was really like ‘I really rock with Cordae, he is one of my favorite new artists.’ To summarize what he said. He basically gave me a lot of love and the fact that he knows who I am and likes my music that I put out, that was already enough for me. He reached out to put me on “Killer Remix” [with Jack Harlow] and I was like ‘yo I am gonna send you something as well.’ We had a phone conversation. We talked for like an hour and a half. It was a really dope conversation. We were just talking about Hip-Hop and everything. It was a great conversation and he was like ‘yo we got to work too you know, If you need something… We did not talk about music until like the very end and he was like yo whatever you need from me I got you, we definitely gotta get in some work so It was very dope.”
“Eminem is like the biggest, in terms of pure sales and success, like he is the biggest rap artist of all time. Straight up. And other than sales and success commercially and all these other things he is like one of my early influences in music. Those first two albums man [The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP], like every artist that raps with some sort of dexterity or lyricism, takes notes from those first two albums, I guarantee. So it’s definitely blessing have him on there for sure.” said Cordae.
“Matter of fact, I just text him, I sent him a voicemail like I appreciate you, bro.” – He added
The Source magazine founder Dave Mays has recently set down with DJ VLAD, where he talked about Eminem’s racist tapes and crediting magazine for launching Eminem’s career.
“With Eminem situation, it started because Benzino felt…When the movie 8 Mile came out…Let me back up and say this… The Source discovered Eminem! The Source had Eminem on Unsigned Hype! Eminem is the first ever white person on the cover of The Source. Eminem wins lyricist of the year at The Source Awards in ’99 over some heavy competition. We helped launch Eminem’s career. We supported Eminem for those first few years.”
“But by 2002, this is when 8 Mile was coming out and this is when the media goes like ‘Eminem is the king of hip-hop,’ ‘he is the greatest to ever do it.’ They were just going crazy the way they were portraying him. That rubbed Benzino in a wrong way and it had him thinking like ‘this can be bad for hip-hop.’ Just like Elvis was used to change trajectory of Rock N’ Roll music and cut out black folks. He felt that way and he made a diss song on a mixtape. A little eight line diss. In a matter of weeks, after the mixtape got put out we started getting phone-calls like ‘Eminem’s already in the studio he made like three records dissing The Source and dissing Dave and Benzino and they were going crazy and whatever…”
“What I will say is…It became personal. It was not meant to be personal. The issue was not about Eminem per se at that time because when it starts those racist tapes don’t exists. Nobody knows about those tapes. WE don’t know about those tapes. Those only surfaced a year down the line after the back and forth. Eminem comes out with songs dissing The Source. Benzino makes songs and videos dissing Eminem and going back and forth.”
“A year down the line these three white kids from Detroit showed up in my lobby. They were sitting there couple of hours trying to get to see me. And finally I get the message and I bring them in and they play me some of this music, the racist rap hour. Eminem and his group at that time, three other white guys made this whole tape with a lot of racist stuff on it and of course that was shocking to hear and as a magazine we had an obligation to report that and put it out there. There was some negotiations behind the scenes with Interscope trying to shut it down and trying to get us not to put them out and bury them so nobody would know about it and we published and they sued us in a federal court and we won a landmark copyright ruling where the judge allowed us to put out only a very small portion of the tape under what’s called fair use law. A lot of stuff that was on a tape never got out.”
“I don’t think you could attribute the decline in newsstand sales strictly to the situation with Eminem. This is dot-com era is thriving, magazine sales are declining. There are other factors. So the point I’m saying is, that’s not the thing that caused the downfall financially of The Source. There were more significant factors. So If I had to change anything, it would probably be taking out that 12 million dollars loan and gambling on dot-com. That’s what I f**ked up. If I hadn’t done that I think things would have been different.”
“Even coming through the Eminem situation. We were coming out of that. Source Awards was still happening. We were still getting tons of advertising. People still loved The Source. I think lots of these narratives come from people in music and media industry. I don’t believe a lot of these narratives come from fans. Interscope and Universal Music controlled almost 80% of all the hip-hop being sold at that time. Everybody was on their payroll. Lots of them respected The Source’s position but were too scared to speak out and support us because it would have impacted their livelihood and that’s understandable.” said Dave.
Dwayne Johnson, better know “The Rock” to the world, has just posted a video of himself working out in a gym while bumping Eminem’s timeless hit song “Till I Collapse,” featuring Nate Dogg, from The Eminem Show (2002) album.
Based on the caption, this is a video shoot of the commercial of an energy drink called ZOA that is hitting markets in March, 2022.
The Rock even quoted the lyrics of the chorus of the song. The caption reads: “‘Til the roof comes off, ’til the lights go out. ‘Til my legs give out, I’ma rip this s**t ’til my bones collapse… Was intense, but we had fun shooting our bad a*s Zoa Energy commercial that will air next month. I shot this “walk of hell” multiple times with 120LBS of chains wrapped around my neck, so my legs were f**ked up and on fire at this point but the energy and mana in the gym carried us thru. Can’t wait for you #ZoaWarriors to see our spot! What DRIVES US, is what FUELS YOU.”
We are not 100% sure if “Till I Collapse” is a part of the commercial or The Rock just played it for the work out but the video is still epic! Check it out below!
