John Cena wants to write WWE anthem with Eminem

Legendary WWE wrestler John Cena has told Esquire that he would gladly write an anthem with Eminem.

Question: A fan took your theme song and did Eminem remix, if you were to do this for real, which Eminem verse would you use?

John Cena: I would simply have him write a verse because he’s one of the most gifted prolific poets I’ve ever had a chance to listen to. And I think if you give him this music rather than rehashing something he made for specific beat I would like to think he would completely put me to shame by giving his own Eminem touch so Em if you are down to write some bars, borrow the track, here is a catchy tune (sings). I don’t know, think about it, mull it over, get back to me or don’t get back to me. Whatever.

Swifty McVay slams Charlamagne & Joe Budden for discrediting Eminem

D12’s Swifty McVay has recently chatted with Hip Hop XXIV where the Detroit legend and the interviewer talked about Charlamagne Tha God discrediting Eminem by his comments about Verzuz.

“Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You can’t battle with a man’s opinion but alot of people use ‘this is my opinion’ as an excuse to sneak diss too. Charlamagne’s favorite rapper of all time is Ghostface Killah for being lyrical and if you acknowledge him for being a lyrical monster as well as other rappers you gotta acknowledge Eminem. To me, Tekashi and them are rappers but not lyrical monsters and to say that he’ll get washed by people who are not lyrical monsters and he knows to be a lyrical monster is one of the highest praises of hip-hop, it seems like he just don’t wanna give it up because of the certain reason. I don’t know what reason but in my opinion he wants to take little bit of that power away because of other reasons. That’s my opinion to his opinion. He knows deep down inside that Eminem would not get washed. He was talking it little bit too far in my eyes.”

“My thing is, fans decide who’s the greatest out here and if you got majority of the world saying that Eminem is the GOAT and you got these podcasters trying to take the power away it has to be another reason.. I think Joe Budden went too far as well. He went overkill when he was talking to his audience how whack he thought Eminem’s album was. He knew deep down in his mind that it was for the ratings as well. That s**t is not my cup of tea.”

“To be honest, I could be wrong, but in my opinion I don’t think Eminem will ever do Verzuz. I don’t think anybody is worthy to do Verzuz with Em. There might be couple of people out there I can think of but I don’t think he will do it. There is too many people out here who just don’t wanna give him respect he deserves because of the color of the skin. Give this man his flowers. He takes his crab seriously and he gives you all what these forefathers birthed and taught us to give lyricism, syllables, wordplay and you got these people discrediting him because they know deep down inside they can’t bring the level of lyricism that Eminem brings so they discredit his lyricism to compensate for them not being able to do it so they can be respected for not doing it.”

50 Cent says Eminem’s verse on “EPMD 2” inspired him to make music again

50 Cent hasn’t been that active since he has been involved in TV business. He recently appeared on People in 10 for a new interview, where was asked about the one thing that continues to inspire him to make music.

“When Em does that stands out to me, that is special. Like he just had a performance on Nas’s album, recently came out, it made me want to record again. Because of my connection to it, and he sounded so good on the record that I was like ‘y’all gotta write something. I gotta go sit down and just write something, so I feel like I’m still in it. Even though If I didn’t share it with the general public, it forced me back into the writing, to go to the studio and record something.”

50 Cent also reveals he has other shows that he wants Eminem to participate in. “Em’s a different animal, you can’t really move him with money,” added Curtis. 50 Cent recently revealed that Eminem is all set to make a guest cameo in his show “BMF” as White Boy Rick.

50 Cent also reveals that if he texts Em right now for a collaboration, he would say yes, but it’s probably not happening.

New Song: Grip – “Walkthrough!” ft. Eminem

Grip has just released his Shady Records debut album “I Died For This!?” and a song “Walkthrough!” featuring Eminem came with it, produced by Eminem and MTK.

As fans expected, the song is bar-heavy, demonstration of technical skill, already regarded as the best Eminem verse since “Lord Above” by Fat Joe.

In the song, Eminem gives same kind of advice to GRIP as he gave Drake on a song “Zeus.” The Detroit legend raps: “GRIP, hold on to this moment / ‘Cause soon as you reach the top, they gon’ want you to fall from it / So you better grab your seatbelt / Like I did mine, and fasten yours / Like a motherf***ing plane-crash passenger / ‘Cause one day you’ll be crashing back to earth
And if you don’t ever stop to smell the roses / I do know one thing, that’s for sure / You don’t get your flowers ’til you pushin’ up daisies / And that’s about all your ashes earn.”

Eminem gives high praise to Grip, reveals which project caught his attention

In a new interview with Complex, Eminem talked about his latest Shady Records signee, GRIP.

“We all got excited about GRIP after we heard Snubnose. It was really refreshing to hear a new artist so focused on making a conceptual project and it caught my attention.”

“It’s definitely great when artists we sign connect with a larger audience, and 50 Cent is a perfect example of that. Obviously we want anyone who signs with Shady to succeed. But first and foremost we’ve always focused on the raw talent and ability of the artist as an MC. We’ve always been pretty clear on that being the main thing we look for: high level fundamental skills and mechanics are definitely the priority.”

“It’s really important in a creative collaboration for there to be that personal connection for it to succeed. Shady is a boutique label and we don’t sign a lot of artists, so we have a chance to get involved at a deeper level with the ones we do. And I think that goes both ways. I like to be motivated by the artists we sign and I want to feel pushed by their creativity as well.”

“The people we sign have a point of view and vibe that made us want to work with them in the first place. Part of our job is to help them get out to a bigger audience but also I don’t like to insert myself where I’m not needed. I am looking to find where and how I can get involved that adds to or builds on what the artist is already doing.” says Eminem.

GRIP shares details about his upcoming song with Eminem!

During the conversation with Complex Magazine, GRIP talked about an upcoming song with Eminem from his Shady Records debut album, I Died For This, releasing August 27, 2021.

Complex magazine: We’ve got to talk about “Walkthrough!” That’s the one with the Eminem feature, and that Em verse is interesting because he’s addressing you directly. He says your name and he’s talking to you, basically warning you about what’s going to come with the success. Did you know that was coming or were you surprised when you heard that?

GRIP: Oh, no, I was surprised. I think I was on my way to the movies and [my manager] Tig was like, “Yo, Eminem verse incoming.” And I’m just waiting on it, I’m waiting on it, I’m waiting on it. I keep on refreshing my email like f**k, man. I finally just put my phone in my pocket, I watch the movie, and by the time I get out of the movies the damn verse is there and I listen to it and I’m like, “Oh, s**t. He went the f**k off.”

I made that song with Em in mind. And when I played him the album, I just remember him saying that hook is nuts. So, I was like, “Yeah, this is a song I actually wanted you to get on.” In my verse I’m talking about where I come from, what I had to get through to get to this point. Then his s**t is from a veteran’s perspective, who went through this already and who thought that cash was going to change things, but then he gets into the perils of this s**t.

We didn’t talk about it beforehand. It sounded like good chemistry, but I’m just glad that he f**ked with it enough to hop on it and give it 32, 40 bars, however long he went. I was excited. That’s huge. The fact that he even mentioned my name, it was one of those things. Now it’s really full-circle. Now I got a track with Eminem. It was a surreal moment.

With that verse, it was like I pulled something out of him. I’m excited for the fans to hear that, I feel like the song is dope as hell. Hopefully that’s a fan favorite—of course, it’ll probably the biggest song. Not probably, it will be the biggest song I’ve done so far, for sure.
