FOX 5 journalist Wisdom Martin gave Eminem an ‘F’ grade while talking the best and worst rappers of all time with Big Daddy Kane, DJ Kool and Kwamé who are getting ready for their upcoming All Stars of Hip Hop concert at Eaglebank Arena this year.
“Bad grade goes to my least favorite rapper of all time: Eminem. ‘F.’ Worst rapper I’ve ever heard. If it was not for Dr. Dre he’d probably be hosting a show with me. That’s how bad he is. He’s just not good to me. bla bla bla Slim Shady, bla bla bla. No, it’s not good. It’s not! Without Dr. Dre… I don’t know.” – said Wisdom Martin
Big Daddy Kane was left speechless, DJ Kool left the interview and Kwamé was laughing at him while kept asking “WHY?”
Last year, in an interview with Tom Cridland’s Greatest Music of All Time Podcast, the adult film star Lisa Ann talked about the working experience with Eminem on his Relapse single “We Made You,” which was released in 2009.
Interviewer: “What was it like shooting ‘We Made You’ video with Eminem? That’s so cool.
Lisa Ann: “It was so cool. I mean, because I’m an Eminem fan. So you don’t wanna be fanned out. Your are not allowed to have a phone or anything with you because of the privacy. They didn’t want somebody to release the song.
Lisa Ann: “Very first interaction that was the scene as Bret Michaels from ‘Rock of Love.’ I was just in lingerie in his bed. So the first time we really kind of meet we are climbing in to bed together. He leans over me and says ‘hey’ and I’m also like ‘hey.’ We had a great time on the shoot. He was ton of funny.”
Lisa Ann: “Also he’s very creative. I was impressed to see.. they had everything set up in this huge Universal studio, where we shot the video. After something we shot, he was going over digital animation. There are 20 people on the screen watching and he knew exactly what he wanted. And it was neat for me to see him be in front of the camera and being Eminem. And then getting out of bed going ‘well this is exactly what I had in mind, this is the vision I had.’ I was like ‘wow he’s so artistically talented’.
Lisa Ann: He’s not lazy. He knows his ideas work and he’s not afraid to say to somebody ‘this is the idea I had’. Like there was a girl playing Kim Kardashian gets put into shredder, the wood chipper and money flies out. That was him saying ‘of course wood chips would not but money is gonna fly out of Kardashian.’ All of this in his head. And that is true gift.”
After dropping “Let U Go,” Denaun Porter is back with another single, titled “Not Again.”
Mr. Porter shared the cover of the single on Instagram with the caption: “So MiGo straighten my self out so I don’t trip on you… but you don’t do that inner work so I can’t say I trust you.”
In the next post, the legendary Detroit artist told fans to drop ‘person facepalming’ emoji if they ever said they wouldn’t fall in love again.
Busta Rhymes has shared some great news about his next body of work. The follow up of Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath Of God is officially complete, according to the legendary rapper himself.
Busta has recently took to Instagram where he shared the update on the upcoming project and dropped a shout-out to DJ Kay Slay, who is fighting COVID19 at this moment.
“New Album Done. DJ Kay Slay you on my mind while I’m recording King. Keep Fighting!! We need you and we got too much shit left to do.” said Busta in the caption while previewing new song snippet, giving shout out to Kay Slay and Dr. Dre:
“We gettin’ gutter while I’m listenin’ to Kay Slay/ Or West Coast, looks like it’s Dre Day,” he raps on the track.

Dave Mayes, the founder of The Source magazine, has recently set down with DJVLAD where he talked about his plans of releasing “Unsigned Hype” documentary series, featuring stories about Eminem, Notorious B.I.G., DMX, Common, Mobb Deep and more.
“We are actually doing the first documentary series right now on Unsigned Hype and how it originated and all the impact it had. It’s eight part documentary podcast series that I’m doing for my new network Break Beat. We are already in the middle of production. It’s gonna come out probably on top of the year. We are gonna tell whole backstory of that column, where it came from, you mentioned few: Biggie, DMX, Eminem, Common, Mobb Deep, Capone NORE, David Banner, Juelz Santana, Jay Electronica…All these artists got the start in The Source’s Unsigned Hype and many of them we got their record deals.” said Dave Mayes.
Eminem first appeared on The Source in March of 1998. Riggs Morales, who was a writer at The Source and is now vice president of A&R at Atlantic Records, penned an article about a dope new rapper from Detroit.
There was The Record Report section in The Source magazine in which the magazine’s staff rated Hip-Hop albums, using a range from one to five mics. Both The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show got a four mic rating, but Em felt his albums deserved five mics. And the rest…I’m sure you all know the history.
Mr. Porter, who is one of the innovators in the Detroit hip-hop scene, has been busy working and touring with Eminem lately, but in the midst of a world-changing pandemic, it looks like Denaun found a time to work on his own music.
One of the most filthy-minded rappers from Dirty Dozen changed his style and became the RnB singer, thanks to his captivating, sweet voice and wide talent of rapping, singing and producing.
Denaun shared the soulful new single on Instagram with the caption that reads: “We all get a lesson that hurts and we don’t understand, until the day we have to teach the same lesson….. this is one of my stories.”
Later, Mr. Porter also shared the snippet of another single, titled “Not Again,” dropping Tuesday. You can stream the new single and listen to the snippet below!
Last month, JAY-Z jumped onto Alicia Keys’ Twitter Spaces room to chat about the music industry.
During the podcast, Jigga gave his thoughts on a potential Verzuz match-up by telling the audience that he believes nobody can stand alongside him on that platform’s stage.
After those words, hip-hop fans have been theorizing on who would be best to face-off against Hova. Mentioned list of artists included Kanye West and Lil Wayne but mostly, Eminem’s name surfaced on social media users’ feeds.
Detroit rapper Seven The General has recently hit Instagram to share his thoughts on the topic:
“This is unpopular opinion cause you know JAY-Z is the greatest rapper ever, to me, personally. But there is one person, that can stand on the stage and battle Hov and it ain’t who you all think. IT’S EMINEM. IT’S EM THE F**KING NEM BRO!”
Fat Joe has recently set down with Big Boy where he talked about his biggest regret in music industry: NOT SIGNING EMINEM. Read the interview and watch it after the jump below:
“At that time, I was just immature, I was crazy. So what happened was I was just at these places and people were giving me their demos and [I could not listen to all of them]. If you go in my DMs now, there are like thousand fat Spanish guys who rap like ‘Yo Joe, Papi, what’s up?’ I don’t get none of that. I let my wife look at my DMs and she sees all that fat Spanish guys talking about being next Big Pun and Fat Joe.”
“So when I go to Revolt, some of them were giving me their demos. I was at these places and I was trying get myself in the game and Eminem apparently was giving me his demos. So years later, me, him and B-Real of Cypress Hills were at the dinner and Em was like ‘Joe, I’mma tell you something. I gave you my demo like six times’ and I was like ‘NOOOOO?! CHESUS CHRIST.”
“I remembered Eminem from performing with this group called Outsidaz. There were very dope. There was Lyricist Longue in New York, this is when I met Biggie too. Biggie was battling twenty guys, beating everybody, white, black, Chinese, he was killing everybody on stage. So now, Eminem, skinny white boy…Me and Pun headlined Lyricist Longue and he performed with Outsidaz. They were all black kids with dreadlocks, and skinny white boy, he was so skinny and going so crazy, they were holding him by his pants cause he was gonna fall off the stage. We all knew he was crazy. We knew this white boy…It was too late. It was not demo time. He was on. He was just about to go with Dr. Dre and all that. Me and Big Pun were like this white boy is CR-AZY.”
“And I always tell a story, when his first album came out it was Grammy week. Me and Big Pun stood the night before the album came out in the long line of Tower Records to get Eminem’s album. The first album. We bumped that all night and went to the Grammys next day. And we had no idea this was the same guy I passed on signing six times. I learned it that night when we had dinner.”
“We make great music. Of course I don’t think it would be the same Eminem if he signed him. That was legendary Dr. Dre who gave him that whole different things. Dre’s beats was crazy but he would have been hot with us too. We made Big Pun. We made Remy Ma. We made DJ Khalid. We could have made him a big star. It probably would have been a different kind of star. Fat Joe liked flash, show off and this kind of stuff and Eminem was not doing that, he was on some other s**t.”
Two years ago, The Champs chop it up with Lil Wayne where they talked about many things, including Eminem. Check it out below.
Interviewer: Eminem or MGK ?
Lil Wayne: Machine Gun Kelly? I gotta say Eminem cause I do not know too much about Machine Gun Kelly. That is the only reason though.
Interviewer: Eminem or G-Eazy?
Lil Wayne: Again, do not know too much about G-Eazy. Also, I did bunch of joints with Eminem, that is my man. When you get on that joint with Eminem it is like a championship game, and you win it, and they ask you how does it feel. I came in with my game plan and I expected my game plan to work. When you send a song to Eminem you attack it like that, like nah, you not going to do me like this. Either we going be right here (level) with it and we are going to make a beautiful, wonderful, great song, but you ain’t going do me that (above me). And that is what we did. Can nobody say anybody got bodied. I just made sure that he did not body me, cause that boy is a monster.
Lil Wayne and Eminem have previously collaborated on “Drop The World,” “No Love” and “Forever.” Do you think Weezy was equally good compared to Eminem? Watch the interview below and tell us your opinions in the comments.
