Prince Eazy explains why he joined Nick Cannon to diss Eminem even though he’s one of his favorites

Back in 2019, Nick Cannon kind of reignited beef with Eminem by boasting in the media that he was looking him in Detroit to fight but Em didn’t show up. As a result, Eminem took shots at Nick on Fat Joe’s “Lord Above“ track.

The California comedian, rapper and media personality responded with three diss tracks. In the first two diss songs, titled “The Invitation” and “Pray For Him“ respectively, Nick Cannon was assisted by Chicago rapper Prince Eazy, who said that infamous words: “God should’ve taken Eminem’s life instead of Juice WRLD.”

Yesterday, Prince Eazy sat down with Manny Akiio on “Off The Porch” show, where he explained why he backed Nick Cannon even though Eminem is one of his favorite rappers of all time. \

“A lot of ni**as talk s**t about Nick Cannon cause they see the goofy him on Wild N’ Out show, but they do not know that man paying for people funerals in Chicago and all type of s**t and never bragged about it once. Bro, how could you not respect a ni**a like that. It is so much on the internet that you all see but you all do not see that happening outside the internet.”

“Nick is my brother, I love Nick. You see that why I dissed Eminem for and Eminem is one of my favorite rappers. This ni**a Eminem is a monster, if you think Eminem can not rap, you stupid. He is a monster, he get busy, he even murdered his mama, period. He do not got no f**ks about life, he is a f**king GOAT. And Nick’s getting ate the f**k up, he needed help. I got you bro come on. That is all that was. I ain’t gotta smoke with it, I love Eminem.”

“And Bizarre is bogus as hell cause this fat a** used to follow me but unfollowed me after we dissed Eminem. You bogus as hell. I still f**k with Bizarre, I still follow his a** though. It is just rap bro, it is no real street s**t.” – said Prince Eazy.

18-year-old cancer survivor recalls meeting Eminem in 2019

About two years ago, in February 2019, Eminem visited Australia as a part of his Rapture Tour. The Rap God took his time to meet kids suffering from cancer through Make-A-Wish foundation.

Now 18 years old Alex Beulke, who overcame the Ewing’s Sarcoma, tells a story behind her meeting with the Detroit legend:

“Eminem was a little bit shy, but I got to spend half an hour with him. I just expected five minutes. He gave us a massive gift bag that had everything you could buy at the merchandise stand. Then he signed whatever we wanted him to sign and let us take photos.”

“The first question I asked him was what his favorite song was of all his music, and he said either “Lose Yourself” or “Mockingbird” because that is something for his daughters. I also asked him who his favorite artist was to collaborate with, and he said, Royce Da 5’9” or Dr. Dre. But he also asked me some questions. He was really interested in my music, and he was really impressed because he thought I might only like rap music, but I have a very broad range. And I got to a Phil Collins concert earlier that month, so he was really impressed with the broad range. He asked me how many people the Melbourne stadium holds, and I said a hundred thousand but that you expect about 80,000 people to come, and he was just blown away by that. Even on stage that night, he said, ‘This is the most amount of people I have ever seen in one area’.”

“Even to this day, thinking about it makes me smile. I can go back to that memory and think about it and automatically be happy again because it was a phenomenal experience and something I will never forget for the rest of my life.” said Alex.

Eminem shares story LL Cool J gifting him chain in “Behind the Music” interview

In a new clip from Behind the Music on Paramount+, Eminem went into detail on his friendship with legendary rapper LL Cool J, confirming longtime fan speculation about a certain piece of jewelry.

“Since I was a little kid I always wanted a chain. I was recording with Rick Rubin and I was like, ‘Yo, can you ask LL where he got his chains from?’ So he had these made and sent them to me.” says Eminem.

“I’m like, ‘Yo, I wanted that. That is what made me actually want to rap,’” Eminem adds.

Lupe Fiasco shouts out Eminem while dissing Royce on “Steve Jobs” song

Originally titled “Steve Jobs: SLR 3 1/2,” the song is a response to Royce da 5’9”’s track “Silence of the Lambda” and was released in a couple of hours after Royce dropped it.

The title of the track follows from Lupe’s series of wordplay-rich and braggadocios tracks from the past viz. SLR (Super Lupe Rap), SLR 2 and SLR 3 (Round of Applause).

The 1/2 in the title may point to the fact that Lupe might not have completely gone all out on Royce at the moment with this track and he left something behind and ready to unleash it whenever and if Royce responds back.

Fans might have overlooked the lines in “Steve Jobs” track where Lupe gave shout out to Eminem. In the verse two, Fiasco raps:

Your penmanship has the fingerprints of a gimmick
And affection and the intimacy of impressions of that ni**a you friends with
I ain’t gotta say it to say it
I can’t even blame you, the nigga’s one of my favorites

Lupe is saying that Royce bit Eminem’s style of rhyming. He says that he sees ‘affection’ and ‘intimacy of impressions’ of Eminem’s pen in Royce’s rhymes. Fiasco goes on to to say that he can’t even blame Royce because Eminem is one of his favorites too.

Cassidy analysis Eminem’s rhymes while discussing “Science of Rap” with Math Hoffa

Cassidy recently sat down with Math Hoffa and the rest of the crew where they talk about rap, lyricism, and more. At some point Cassidy was asked about how come people don’t like Eminem and his lyricism.

“He is not technical all the time. He is piecing up syllables but sometimes he do not, sometimes he rhyme one syllable.” said Cassidy and raps “The Way I Am” as an example.

“That is one syllable,” Cassidy continues, “It’s just you all think he piecing up all these syllables. He do rhyme more syllables in other raps but a lot of times he just do not even be piecing up it is just a lot of rhymes and you think that he killing it.”

Philadelphia rapper the raps “My Name Is” and comments: “I know the science of this sh*t is a two-syllable piece up. That is the best Eminem right there. When he rap like that, that is when I really like him. But a lot of people do not even understand the way that you are supposed to rhyme and piece it up.”

“You gotta really break the science down the proper way like not just rappers, fans too, everybody. Like I know this is one syllable, this is two, this three, this is this. Once people could do that, rappers gonna have to step it up and fans gonna demand more cause they are gonna understand better.”
