Conway talks ‘God Don’t Make Mistake’ album, Shady Records, working with Kanye West & more

During a trip to Los Angeles, Pierce from Complex news caught up with Conway The Machine prior to his show at Regent Theater, where they talked about Shady Records upcoming Shady Records debut album, working with Kanye West on Donda, Lil Wayne and Rick Ross collaboration and much more.

About features on God Don’t Make Mistakes

“[Pierce: You got features from Beanie Sigel to Andersoon .Paak to Jill Scott, lots of features on this album] A lot of these features come from the relationships I have built with these people and I’m not the type of guy to use that as a personal gain. I just f**k with you, I f**k with you.”

About securing collaborations with Lil Wayne and Rick Ross

“I gotta thank 2 Chainz for that. He’s my dude. I got reached out by Wayne, Campbell and them ni**as but they told me ‘Yo 2 Chainz now is playing me your s**t. I love it. I f**k with your s**t.’ But I had never met 2 Chainz. Never had a conversation with him. It’s just ill to now that these dudes still do s**t like that. And after that I was like ‘let me hit these ni**as, like I got something for you.’ Wayne sent the verse probably same night or next morning. After that I was like ‘send that s**t to Rozay’ just jokingly around and Rozay sent that s**t back next morning. That’s more than a feature for me. That’s acknowledgement.

About working with Kanye West on Donda album

“Ye hit me up…We (Griselda) did a show before 2020, before pandemic. He didn’t come to the show but he invited us to the Sunday Service, so we went there and we saw each other. We wanted us to meet and talk and we were just kicking it. And then Kanye was like ‘we should just go now and record some music. you all are here and lets just go and do something.’ So we ended up to his ranch. At first, studio sessions were different for me. I didn’t really grow up in a church. I’m used to studio sessions with my homies around, smoking and drinking with ni**as. You got ladies over there and ni**as smoking over there. And this one was like no smoking, no drinking, no nothing, you can’t even have your f**king cell-phone up in there. At the end of the day, I was just happy and blessed to be even welcomed in that man’s atmosphere. I’m forever grateful.”

About Shady Records

“There is no issues with Shady Records. I’m just thankful man, I’m blessed. I appreciate everybody at Shady Records. From top on down, Eminem, Paul, Tracy, Mike H and the whole building. I’ve never had an issue and I do not have issues now. If that’s where my journey in life take me, doing more business with Shady then I’m with that too. After this album, my contractual obligations will be fulfilled and whatever comes after that I’m gonna accept it and be thankful.”

Matthew pleaded guilty to Macomb County Circuit Court for failing to show up for the appointment of September’s probation but pleaded not guilty to the the assault charge.

The parole violation occurred just days after Hughes was sentenced to probation after serving almost two years in jail for breaking into Eminem’s home in Clinton Township back in April 2020 and telling him he was there not to steal anything but to kill the Detroit legend.

Eminem, who was home at the time, managed to get Hughes to go outside, where security guards detained him until the police arrived and took the intruder to the police department.

LIVESTREAM: Announcement of Grammy 2022 nominations

The Grammy nominations for 2022 will be revealed today at 5PM GMT time.

Lil Nas X, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo and Lady Gaga are all expected to be nominees. To be eligible for a nomination at 2022 Grammy awards, a recording had to be released between September 1, 2020, and September 30, 2021.

Eminem did not release an album in this period of time but he did drop the Side B of Music To Be Murdered By album on December 18, 2020, which was accompanied by a music video for a lead single “Gnat”, directed by Cole Bennett.

Slim Shady also dropped the music video for “Higher” premiered on January 23, 2021. Lyric videos for “Tone Deaf” and “Alfred’s Theme” were also released. In May 2021, a remix of “Killer”, featuring Jack Harlow and Cordae, was dropped so there still is a slim chance Eminem to get nominated.

On the other hand, Conway The Machine and former Shady Records’ member Westside Gunn have a big chance of getting nominated in any of the hip-hop categories.

The 64th Grammy Awards ceremony is scheduled for January 31, 2022 in Los Angeles at what will soon be the arena formerly known as Staples Center.

The livestream for the Grammy nominations is available below and it will start shortly:

Eminem & Big Proof preventing crowd surge in 2002 surfaces online!

10 people were killed and hundreds injured at Travis Scott’s Astroworld music festival in Houston, Texas, at NRG Park on November 5, 2021 after concertgoers surged toward the stage during the rapper’s headlining set.

To help understand the role that policy plays in shaping events like Astroworld, CNN talked to Gil Fried, a crowd management expert and professor at the University of West Florida.

Dr. Fried brought the example of Eminem how to handle such kind of situation: “Eminem said to the crowd, “Okay, everyone, I’m going to start a new dance with you. Okay? Two steps back, one step forward, two steps back, one step forward.” And he was trying to alleviate the pressure of everyone that was pushed up against the barricade by doing that. And an artist can do that.”

Now, 2002 video of Eminem and Big Proof trying to prevent crowd-crush during the performance of “I’m Back” in DC has resurfaced online. In the video, you can hear Eminem addressing the surfing crowd: “Ayo, DJ, stop it! You gotta quit pushing towards the f**king front or we can not perform. I got police telling me that show is canceling if you all do not stop pushing towards the front. You guys gotta calm the f**k down so we can do the show. Ayo, if you got somebody on the ground in front of you, help them up. We can not continue the show until you chill the f**k out. DC, everybody back the f**k up!”
