Fredro Starr has recently set down with VLAD TV where the New York-born producer and actor recalls attending “8 Mile” premiere without tickets and finding out Eminem used his beat in the movie while being in font of the seats

“So, I went to 8 Mile premiere. We didn’t have no tickets but we were cool with Dre. We were there just to pop up. 8 Mile premiere was big red carpet, it was like, LOCK DOWN. We were waiting outside like ‘yo, how we gonna get in this s**t’ and then Dr. Dre pulls up and says ‘yo, come with me.'”

“So now we are at 8 Mile premiere with no tickets, we got in with Dre and we sitting in front of the seats just chillin. And I didn’t even know my beat was in the movie. Nobody told me. So, we are watching the movie and it was dope and then Eminem is battling that ni**a Papa Doc and the beat comes on. I was like ‘OH S**T, THIS BEAT IS IN THE MOVIE?!’ Just to see Eminem rhyming on that beat was inspirational. Royalties still popin’. Shout out to Eminem on that one! S**t like that makes me wanna do beats again.” – says Fredro.

BandGang Lonnie Bands recrates Eminem’s classic music videos in a new video “Where Is Marshall”

Detroit rapper who goes by the name of BandGang Lonnie Bands released his latest music video for the song titled “Where Is Marshall,” putting his own spin on Eminem’s “The Real Slim Shady” video off Lonnie’s recent album called “Hard 2 Kill.” The song is produced by L.A. sound architect Cypress Moreno.

In the video, the young Detroit rapper casts Eminem lookalikes and clones himself as Shady did back in the days.

Using his own nonchalant, sing-song flow, Lonnie recounts growing up not far from Eminem’s home and brags about “breaking bad like I’m Heisenberg” and having “dope so good the fiends stalk you.”

Directed by Anfy, the video deposits Lonnie in a trailer park not dissimilar to where Marshall Mathers grew up, as the 6 Mile rapper stars in moments that evoke Em’s best videos, including “The Real Slim Shady,” “My Name Is,” “Forgot About Dre,” and “Lose Yourself.”

With the recent controversy about Eminem not connecting to young Detroit rappers, maybe this song could even bring Eminem and this new generation of Detroit together if “Detroit VS Everybody” with Big Sean, Danny Brown, Dej Loaf and “Friday Night Cypher” with Kash Doll, Payroll Giovanni, Sada Baby, Drego, Boldy James, 42 Dugg, Cash Kidd and Tee Grizzley was not enough.

Pete Davidson spoofs Eminem’s “My Name Is” on his latest SNL Christmas episode

It’s 2054, and Pete Davidson has to prove that he’s still got it.

It was a very strange night for Saturday Night Live. The big Christmas episode was set to induct Paul Rudd into the Five Timers Club but a reported COVID-19 outbreak among the cast forced the show to piece together an episode with only two of the current cast, Kenan Thompson and Michael Che.

Shot in black and white, “An Evening With Pete” imagines a sad, washed-up Pete Davidson 33 years in the future. Like a lounge singer working a dingy club decades past his prime, old Pete does a faux Weekend Update with a robot Colin Jost. A bored patron heckles him to “Do Chad!” his most well-known recurring character.

Pete does a Warren Beatty-themed parody of Eminem’s 1999 hit song “My Name Is,” from The Slim Shady LP album while cast member Chloe Fineman asks what exactly type of audience is this for.

Later in the sketch, Pete says he’d like to do a song with his friend, Machine Gun Kelly and brings out chalice with MGK’s dust in it and 1990-2054 written on it.
