“That s**t f**ked up, man. That ni**a DMX is a legend, man. I always thought nobody could f**k with X. No cap. If face to face, X pulls up on you you are not f**king with X. Rest in peace Dark Man X, man. We just did a joint for his new album. I didn’t have chance to meet him.” – said Conway.

Redman wears t-shirt with Eminem quote on it during Verzuz battle against Method Man

Few hours ago, Method Man and Redman went hit-for-hit during the “How High 4/20 Special” VERZUZ event. The “battle” was a lighthearted event where the two collaborators and friends danced and joked around with each other pretty much the entire time. The two legendary hip-hop artists ended by announcing that they’re working on Blackout! 3.

RZA, Inspectah Deck, and Cappadonna made guest appearances, and RZA also announced that a new album with DJ Screw was on the way. DJ Kool showed up and did “Let’s Get Dirty” and “Let Me Clear My Throat.” EPMD, Keith Murray, and Lords of the Underground’s Dupre “Doitall” Kelly made an appearance. Kelly announced that he was running for office in Newark.

One of the highlights from the night was Redman’s T-shirt which had Eminem lyrics from “Till I Collapse” on it: “It goes: Reggie, Jay-Z, 2Pac and Biggie…” Reginald “Reggie” Noble, better known by his stage name Redman, is one of Eminem’s favorite rappers, with his horrorcore style being a significant influence on him.

BREAKING: Eminem is dropping NFT this Sunday!

Nifty Gateway has just announced that Eminem is dropping something this Sunday, that can be anything from demo track to a full audio, from a picture to a video, from snippet to a teaser, from merch to anything that can be sold digitally for NFT.

A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unit of data stored on a digital ledger, called a blockchain, that certifies a digital asset to be unique and therefore not interchangeable. NFTs can be used to represent items such as photos, videos, audio and other types of digital files.

Many artists, including The Weeknd dropped new songs via NFT. We are not assuming that its a new track but the possibility is there!

You can check out the announcement below:

Today, Eminem celebrates 13 years of sobriety

Eminem is celebrating 13 years of sobriety today, April 20, which, ironically, also happens to be considered the cannabis celebration day. Today, Eminem will receive sobriety coin, which is blue, silver and black and has the number 13 engraved in the middle of it. Around the token we can read the words: “unity,” “recovery” and “service,” with the phrase “one day at a time” written at the top.

Eminem became sober on April 20, 2008, five months after experiencing a nearly-fatal methadone overdose. “It looks like Vicodin, it’s shaped like Vicodin? F**k it. I remember taking one of the pills in the car on the way home, and thinking, ‘Oh, this is great,’ I went through them in a couple of days, then went back and got a lot more. All I remember was hitting the bathroom floor and waking up in the hospital. The doctors told me I’d done the equivalent of four bags of h**oin. They said I was about two hours from dying.” Said Eminem in an interview with Rolling Stone in 2011.

Congrats Eminem for coming back to music from hell! #13YearsSober

Bebe Rexha says her new video is inspired by Eminem’s “Love The Way You Lie”

Bebe Rexha is responding a huge backlash about her new music video for “Sabotage,” from Better Mistakes album, a song that Bebe has described as being about her struggle in her life with literally sabatoging the things that she loves. In the music video, Rexha lights a house on fire and watches it while burning. Gabbie Hanna’s music video “Monster” is along the same lines and social media definitely noticed.

Rexha replied that she does not even know who is Gabbie Hanna and said her music video is taking the inspiration from Eminem’s “Love The Way You Lie,” featuring Rihanna. Check out her tweet below:

Eminem reacts to SNL spoof of “Without Me” with one emoji

Back in March 27, Saturday Night Live did the parody of Eminem’s 2002 hit song “Without Me,” not just in song, but the track’s popular video as well.

The sketch kicked off with Kate McKinnon portraying Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen, who was speaking to a group of economy students. After the professor (Kyle Mooney) asked if there were any questions for Yellen, familiar notes from Em’s tune off The Eminem Show start to play as the camera pans to Pete Davidson dressed as the rapper’s fake superhero Rap Boy from the “Without Me” video.

After stumping the professor, Chris Redd — dressed as Dr. Dre’s take on the Matrix‘s Morpheus — chimes in to offer pills and explain further. Confused by the “complete nonsense,” McKinnon’s turns to the janitor — played by musical guest Jack Harlow — for a more “eloquent” explanation of what, exactly, NFTs are.

Almost a month later, Eminem responded to the spoof with one emoji. Check out his tweet below:
