Conway The Machine has recently released a second joint album with Big Ghost LTD, titled “If If Bleeds It Can Be Killed” and that is the only the tip of the iceberg, as the Griselda’s finest is still sitting on the release of his much anticipated Shady Records debut album “God Don’t Make Mistakes,” releasing somewhere this year.
But before that, Conway seems to have other plans with his fellow Griselda rapper, Benny The Butcher. He recently took to Twitter to give an update to the fans about the collaborative project with Benny, who is dropping “Plugs I Met 2” album this Friday. You can check out Conway’s tweet below:

Iggy Azalea and Eminem have a long history of ‘beefing,’ with one of the most recent includes Eminem’s namedrop on Machine Gun Kelly diss track, “KILLSHOT” where the Detroit legend raps: “You ain’t never made a list next to no Biggie, no Jay, next to Taylor Swift and that Iggy ho, you about to really blow.’
Iggy replied with now-deleted tweets: “Diss songs shouldn’t be filled with celebrity name drops to pad out lazy bars. And that’s my unbiased opinion from a girl that watched this guys set and sung the words in the crowd. I’d think it regardless. One of the greatest to do it, I’m NOT in dispute about that. But I do think the name dropping thing has become a crotch [sic].”
Sydney, New South Wales, Australia-born rapper has once again became target for Eminem fans. For whatever reason, you can watch the video below:
Have you guys ever wondered what Eminem’s 1999 hit song “My Name Is” from The Slim Shady LP would sound like if Em had written it in 2021? Well, 40 Hertz has recreated it with the help of Artificial Intelligence technology, and it actually sounds like it could be Eminem.
The clever remake includes different lyrics that make references to Billie Eilish, K Pop stars, Drake, Rick Ross and Donald Trump – all which would be very likely targets for Eminem in real life.
His voice sounds just like the real thing, and is created using vocal synthesizers – all very complicated. And it looks like deep fake music could well present an issue for the music industry.

Hip-hop’s legendary lyricist Nas finally won his first ever Grammy last night after 13 nominations across more than two decades. The 47-year-old king of the New York City, won Best Rap Album for his 13th effort, titled “King’s Disease.”
Nas’ album bested “The Allegory” by Royce da 5′9”, Alfredo” by Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist, “Black Habits” by D Smoke and “A Written Testimony” by Jay Electronica.
In an interview with British music magazine NME in November 2020, Nas revealed that he had attempted to create a record similar to James Brown’s 1968 classic “Say It Loud ― I’m Black and I’m Proud” and said it was necessary for Black artists to make similar anthems because of “the foot on our necks.”
Watch the video of Grammy awarding Nas below:
Ahead of his 2021 “Best Rap Album” Grammy nomination for “The Allegory,” Royce Da 5’9 has partnered with Yoop and L.A. LIVE’s Microsoft Theater for his first live performance since COVID-19 hit.

The Grammy Awards are known for flashy, unusual musical pairings, but no duo caused a stir like Eminem and Elton John in 2001.
Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP was one of the biggest hits of the previous year. It cemented him as a rap star and force to be reckoned with in the music industry — love him or hate him. And people really did either love him or hate him. For every critic hailing the Detroit native as a lyrical genius, there was another criticizing him for homophobic and misogynistic messages.
GLAAD announced it would be among the groups protesting Eminem’s “hate-filled lyrics” outside Staples Center in Los Angeles on Grammy night. Then, less than two weeks before the telecast, it was revealed that John would take the stage with Eminem to perform his hit song “Stan.”
Yahoo Entertainment has recently spoke with former Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich about how Eminem and John’s unforgettable performance came to be.
According to Ehrlich, who was the showrunner of the Grammy Awards for 40 years and the architect of the event’s signature musical team-up moments, there was no hesitation that Eminem’s participation (solo or not) might prove to be too controversial for network television.
“I produced the show, so a lot of it was my decision. We wanted him, there wasn’t any question. Granted he was — I don’t want to even use the word controversial. He was an extremely unique artist who was not hesitant about expressing his point of view. And by the way, some of that point of view was pointed at the Grammys.”
“Well, I don’t want to rewrite history if he says that that’s fine. It’s not exactly the way I remember it. But, you know, great ideas have many fathers.”
“I remember getting a call. It might have been someone at the label, it might’ve been someone from [Eminem’s team], but I think we had already been thinking about it, just not necessarily in those terms. We were looking for a duet partner because they had expressed to us that he was interested in performing with another artist.”
“As soon as we got the message to Elton that we were interested, he sparked to it. He said, ‘This is exactly the kind of thing that I want to do. I want to break down these barriers. If [Eminem’s] OK with it and he wants to do it. I’d love to do it.'”

Back in February, one of the TikTok users, who has since been removed from the app, uploaded a short clip of her listening to Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie,” featuring Rihanna. She particularly called out the line, “If she ever tries to f**king leave again, I’m a tie her to the bed and set this house on fire” and wrote “Yesssss lets cancel him.”
Since then, that initial post has gone viral, launching an age-old debate about the artistic value of Eminem’s controversial lyrics in a time of heightened sensitivity. Posts related to the #canceleminem hashtag reached almost 3 million views. BUT a quick scroll through the videos indicates that the hashtag has been commandeered by Eminem fans who are defending the rapper. Many of these fans point out that Eminem has always been controversial and this particular Gen Z campaign is nothing new.
Last Friday, Eminem released an animated lyric video for “Tone Deaf,” single from Music To Be Murdered By album, in response to “Cancel Eminem” campaign. And when everybody thought it was all over, suddenly, Eminem 2005 song “FACK” becomes the new hot on TikTok. Check out some of the videos below:
FACK really became a Tik Tok trend lmfao how did this even happen 😭 pic.twitter.com/kGGEkxeAK7

Dr. Dre’s “The Chronic,” Snoop Doggy Dogg’s “Doggystyle,” Tupac’s “All Eyez On Me” (2x tape set) and “The Don Killuminati (7 Day Theory)” – all those 4 classic hip-hop albums will be reissued on cassette on April 20 to celebrate Death Row Record’s 30th year anniversary.
“Death Row Records beams in hip-hop history as much more than music label. Death Row was a movement, hip-hop revolution, factory for greatness, and one of the first exemplifications of black power within the business of rap.”
“During a time when hip-hop’s market share of multi-platinum plaques was a small minority, Death Row liberated and empowered some of our greatest creatives, leveling another lopsided American playing field. Without Death Row, we would never hear the aqua-flow of Snoop Dogg or the genius of Eminem. We would be deprived of Cali’s finest production – from Dr. Dre to DJ Pooh – and our music palettes would be lesser for having never heard The Don Killuminati: 7 Day Theory or either of the Chronic albums.”
“If Death Row had never been, hip-hop would have never experienced the unforgettable era of West Coast dominance.” – reads the statement issued by the record label.
Ten years ago, multimillionaire beauty entrepreneur Kay Cola, who was a single mother of two, could never have imagined where she’d be today. Kay Cola became a multi-millionaire after leaving the music industry to build her own all-natural beauty business but before she left, she has worked with Eminem and Dr. Dre in the past.
In a recent interview with Forbes, she talked about the working experience with two legendary figures in hip-hop: “Working with Eminem was certainly a high point in my music career. The song was ‘Not Afraid,’ from the Recovery album. It was a very collaborative experience and I was both singing and writing for the track. Dr Dre was great to work with, too. He would let me do my thing and give me guidance afterward.”

Legendary producer Mark Batson, who has been involved in countless Eminem tracks, has recently hit Instagram to celebrate his latest effort with Slim Shady, Music To Be Murdered By going platinum and hitting 1 billion total streams.
“Today celebrating more than 1 million albums and 1 billion streams since release of Music To Be Murdered By album. Another jewel for us in the crown of Team Shady. Realizing today that I have been a part of this for almost 20 years. Sending thanks to Eminem, Dr. Dre, Shady Records.” wrote Mark while sharing the streaming plaque.
To remind you all, Mark Batson was involved in the production of “Premonition” intro track on Music To Be Murdered By album. Check out the post below:
