Lil Nas X has released new album MONTERO, featuring Jack Harlow, Doja Cat, Elton John, Megan Thee Stallion and Miley Cyrus.
In a song titled “DOLLA SIGN SLIME,” Megan drops one of the hardest Eminem shout-out while referencing his legendary songs, ‘Stan’ and ‘The Real Slim Shady.’
“Baby, all these hoes imitate me / You gon’ f**k a Stan or the real Slim Shady?” she raps.
You can bump the new track below, it really sounds banger:
After so many years, the beef between 50 Cent and the Murder Inc. Records is still alive.
After last night’s Verzuz battle between Fat Joe and Ja Rule, 50 Cent became a trending topic on Twitter during the event. This caused Irv Gotti to respond the matter on Instagram:
“You all talking that 50 s**t, all good. He got beat up, stabbed up. Shot up. Sued us. That is all I am going to say. Your hero is not what you think he is. Period and facts.” said Gotti.
50 Cent responded back to him with several Instagram posts, saying: “I put their whole label out of business, f**k with me if you want to. I would stay out of my way if I was not me.”
Today, Ja Rule has also responded to Fifty in an exclusive interview with radio host Big Tigger: “Eminem made you, created you. You are nothing without that f**king white boy. Stop it.”
Yesterday, during an interview with Billboard on 2021 MTV Video Music Awards’ red carpet, Jack Harlow revealedhe jumped on the phone with Eminem following their “Killer” collaboration, and the Detroit legend let him know he is a big fan of him.
“We did not get to meet, but we had a phone call that meant the world to me. I have not shared it with the world yet, but I can not wait until the world hears it. He gave me a lot of props that any artist would love to get. Sometimes, the best gem is just somebody you admire, letting you know who you think you are. He let me know, ‘You’re that. You’re dope.’ I have waited a decade to hear that. So it was special.” said Harlow
The Shelbyville, Kentucky-born rapper is probably going to share the phone-call via one of his songs’ intro or as a skit on the album.
Eminem has just shared the picture of his Shady Records soldiers, GRIP and Westside Boogie with the caption: “What do these 2 Shady labelmates have cooking?”
GRIP has recently released his Shady Records debut album “I Died For This!?” and Westside Boogie is preparing his second major release under Shady.
The East Atlanta rapper and Compton emcee are probably teaming up for Boogie’s upcoming album, which is set to be released somewhere this fall.
Lord Jamar and Smoke DZA has recently talked with Math Hoffa and the crew on “My Expert Opinion” about Drake and Kanye West, Lyrical rappers never going pop, Eminem and much more.
Math Hoffa literally started the interview with the straightforward question: “Why do you hate Eminem?!” On which, Lord Jamar replied:
“I had a feeling this would go to that direction at some point. First of all, according to Eminem’s fans, every time I speak – I speak about him. Which we know is not factual. I don’t even like to get in it no more. It was never about hating Eminem. It was just stating facts.”
“Hip-hop is black music. We created that s**t. As the creators, we decide who our GOATs are. Not records sales, not record companies, not white people, not any other people other than black people because we were the ones that started that s**t. So he got people coming out like ‘ohh Eminem is GOAT, he sold more records…’ Real hip-hop motherf**kers don’t care about record sales. Like MC Hammer was selling mad records, Vanilla Ice was selling mad records. That is not criteria that makes you good. And at the end of the day, you are not going to hijack this s**t from us and tell us who we f**k with.”
Royce Da 5′9″ is the latest artist to take on NPR’s Tiny Desk (Home) Concert series, using the occasion to mark his eighth year of sobriety.
The Detroit legend was joined by vocalist Ashley Sorrell, backing singers and a band. They worked their way through ‘God Speed’ and ‘Anything/Everything’ from 2018’s ‘Book Of Ryan’, as well as 2016’s ‘Dead President Heads’ and 2001’s ‘Boom’.
“This is a special moment for me. This is the world-famous Tiny Desk, at the world-famous Heaven Studios. This is my sanctuary, this is where I spend all my time. I am also celebrating eight years of sobriety. I decided that I did not want the game to chew me up and spit me out. I made a promise to myself that I was going to leave this motherf**ker with everything I came with.” said Royce.
Griselda’s Westside Gunn has recently set down on Bars On I-95 where he talked about Buffalo roots, how his music journey paid off, what looks like the last piece of his Hitler Wears Hermès series and what’s next for him.
In an interview, Gunn revealed he has a radio show coming on Shade 45 and explained why a collaboration with Eminem never happened. (Besides Griselda’s “Bang (Remix), which actually was a track with Conway The Machine)
“When I was signed to Shady, I never even wanted to do an Eminem song cause our styles don’t even mix. I don’t do s**t just because ‘Oh I’m with Shady, I gotta do hundred Eminem songs.’ It was not like that but it was an opportunity of being over there with them guys. That’s all I really wanted. I still wanted to have my sound. I’m looking at, trying to do movies. I’m a creator. I wanted to do that Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ and 8 Mile s**t. I wanted to do all that s**t. That’s why I jumped and went that rout. I’m still thankful. Shout out to Paul. We talking right now because I’m trying to get this weekly show on Shade 45 finished. So I’m about to crush him with my own show on Shade 45 cause I’m all for the culture.” – said Westside Gunn
After years of anticipation, legendary AZ’s “Doe or Die 2” album is finally here!
The eagerly awaited sequel to his 1995 effort was released today and it includes guest appearances from Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Conway The Machine, T-Pain, Dave East and more.
With deft wordplay and malleable flows, the original “Doe or Die” represented 1990s boom bap at its best.
The song with our Griselda boy is titled “The Ritual,” which features Lil Wayne as well and is produced by The Alchemist.
Conway The Machine is on “Love Will Get You Killed” tour right now and the Griselda heavyweight premiered new song “Piano Love” at The Masquerade, Atlanta, Georgia.
The song is probably from his Shady Records debut album, “God Don’t Make Mistakes,” which is set to be released later this year.
The Buffalo legend also brought out 2 Chainz, JID and Bangladesh to perform “200 Pies,” “Scatter Brain” and “6:30 Tip Off” respectively, from his latest album, La Maquina.
Conway’s next stop is Norfolk, Virginia. Meanwhile, check the previous performances below:
GRIP delivers the music video for “Momma Told Me!”, directed by Caleb Seales, a lyrically-driven single from his Shady Records debut album “I Died For This?!”
The video was exclusively premiered via HotNewHipHop: A standout track on his brand new album I Died For This?!, the track is an effective showcase of the Atlanta lyricist’s technical prowess, not to mention his clever mind for wordplay and references.
It’s no surprise he opted to choose this one as the project’s next single as it was one of the fans’ most favorite songs.
Chicago street artist Chris Devins spent his weekend to paint an Eminem mural in Detroit but it was defaced the next day.
Devins began at around 1P.M. and finished 6 hours later, with locals taking photos and paying respect throughout the day. But by the next day, the six-foot tall portrait had been vandalized with 18 bird head sketches drawn with a Sharpie.
“Only one day after its completion, some idiot in Detroit already defaced the new Eminem mural. You can not give some people anything good. Dumb. I can probably fix it but damn…” Devins wrote on his Instagram.
Speaking to The Detroit News, Chris Devins said: “I was devastated. Who would do that? That’s against the rules of street art. I want to restore it to its original value. I would like to re-present it to the community in its unblemished form.”
“It was a great wall. It looked like it was going to sit there for a second, so I thought it could use some beautification. It really enhances that wall. To me, it’s totally appropriate. I wanted to do him looking young and fresh. I didn’t put up anything ugly.”
“There was time and effort spent to make sure it was something people would want, and to make it relatable to the community. It’s not just usual tagging.” Check out the video of completing the mural:
Back in 1997, Eminem participated in the Rap Olympics during the Rap Sheet convention at the Red Lion Hotel in Los Angeles where he went all the way to the final, up against Otherwize who eventually took the crown.
The infamous face-off is now part of the new documentary titled Where We’re From: Rise of LA Underground Hip Hop that was produced by Element co-founders DJ Breeze and DJ Bonds who were both instrumental in establishing the underground Hip Hop scene.
In a new interview with HHDX, DJ Breeze said: “Eminem held his own as well. The battle with Wize had to go extra rounds because these dudes were going at it. The battle had also a slight racial overtone to it. Obviously ’cause there were few white rappers at the time. So it definitely started to take on the feel of Black versus white. I will say this, the battle between those two guys was phenomenal. It had to go extra rounds because at one point it just seem like they were so evenly matched.”
“Even though you could feel the crowd wanting Otherwize to win, you couldn’t deny Eminem skill set. But I do feel confidently 100 percent that Otherwize did win the battle. Did he blow them out of the water? No, he did not. But he did win. It also adds a kind of lore to Otherwize’s name considering Eminem bought all the footage so nobody could see the battle.”
