EPMD’s Erick Sermon has shared some information about a new song of his that he says will appear on Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg new album ‘The Missionary,’ and he’s promised fans that it will be nothing short of epic.

The EPMD legend stopped by the Bootleg Kev podcast on Thursday (February 8) to give some insight into what fans can expect from his guest appearance.

“When I was here with Dre, as you see on my Instagram, it’s me and Dre in the studio and everybody and it went viral, me and Dre made five records. And he made three in one night. Off of my production though. ” said Erick Sermon. This revelation prompted Kev to remark that it was “crazy” for the N.W.A legend to have done that.

Then he continued: continued: “And then, we did another one with Snoop, that’s supposed to be on the new Snoop record, and I also did one with him, that me and him rhymed on, which was CRAZY.”

Couple of years ago, Eric Sermon posted pictures and videos with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg in the studio: “I got to L.A a day before the #superbowl ..then 2 days after that was his bday…after that .. the #sagacontinues. We worked on my new project #DYNAMICDUOS … the next day he called @snoopdogg we made something epic for him .. then we made something for him after.. I think lol. Then he says erick .. that’s 3.

John Salley responds Dr. Umar’s comments about Eminem

NBA legend, John Salley, who was the first player in NBA history to win championships with three franchises as well as the first player in the NBA to win a championship in three different decades, has recently sat down with DJ VLAD, where the two talked about Dr. Umar Johnson saying Eminem can’t be one of the greatest rappers of all time because he’s white.

“I love Eminem. I disagree with Umar about the color, period. It’s certain things that I understand why he says what he says, I’m a fan of Dr. Umar on a lot of things. But Eminem should be in the conversation as one of the greatest rappers of all time. It’s the way he puts things together…But, ‘in conversation’ because I’m still Kool G Rap. [Laughs]. Kool G Rap and DJ Polo…” said John Salley.

Then he continued: “I love Kool G Rap. I love Chino XL but when it comes to rhyming, just like Kobe and his focus on just being on basketball, you can tell that’s how Eminem is. Cause he still can tell you other people’s rhymes. To this day, he can reference other people’s thymes. Great rapper that did well, they had pulled from everywhere.”

Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg host 2024 Super Bowl Afterparty

Fresh from announcing “Gin & Juice” drink, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre hosted the 2024 Super Bowl Afterparty, to promote their new product.

Snoop and Dre performed some of their biggest hits, including “Nuthin’ but a “G” Thang,” “California Love,” “Ain’t No Fun (If The Homies Can’t Have None),” “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” “The Next Episode” and “Stil D.R.E”

The California natives are also working together on a new album together titled Missionary. During an appearance on All the Smoke with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson last month, Snoop talked about the process.

“I’m in the lab with Dr. Dre right now — that’s Death Row/Aftermath,” he said. “We finishing that up right now, tidying up the pieces to that. He’s a perfectionist. The n-gga called me one day about two years ago. He was like, ‘N-gga, come over, let me do a couple of songs with you.’

“I go over there and he like, ‘N-gga, let me do your album.’ And I’m like, ‘Alright, let’s go!’ We go in, knock out a couple of songs. He hit me back: ‘I need two more days.’ I got that call probably about 85 times. This n-gga need two more days all the time.”

He continued: “But when you hear what we have and how he got me rapping, it’s like a grown Snoop Dogg. There’s some growth to him. It’s the way he selects his bars, it’s the way he uses his voice. [Dr. Dre] uses me like a f-cking robot and I love it because I love to be produced. I love to be challenged.”

Ice-T shows love to Eminem, Eminem responds!

Ice-T has recently shown love to Eminem on Twitter. The legendary rapper shared a video, which was put together by Shadyverse fan account, of himself talking about fans disrespecting Eminem back in the days.

In the video, Ice says: “I was a fan of Eminem even before Dre signed him. Somebody brought me the tape and it’s him rapping about putting his girl in the trunk and driving off of the bridge. We went on the Wrapped Tour. And I remember white kids used to throw s–t at Eminem. They were really rude to Eminem early in the game. They were going in on him hard. He just kept knocking it out and he kept doing it and I’m like ‘this kid is going to blow up.’ Cause he was paying his dues. I never forget, I was talking to Em and I asked what you want out of this? He said, I just wanna be around like you and Dre. That’s all he wanted. Longevity. He f–king did that.” In the caption, he wrote: “Shout out to my guy @Eminem. True Story.”

Unexpectedly, because Eminem rarely uses social media, Slim Shady responded to Ice-T by twitting: “Ice, thanks for those memories legend!! Seems like just yesterday!! Love you bro!!”

Ice T and Eminem has always shown mutual respect over the years. Eminem even appeared in Ice-T’s documentary called Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap back in 2012. Ice also called Eminem one of the greatest rappers in history before. You can check out Ice-T’s tweet and Eminem’s response in the video below:

Cyhi The Prynce says Eminem is Top 5 Rapper but suggests Em also used ghostwriters

CyHi The Prynce has been in the studio with Kanye West and Travis Scott for a while, and he’s used that experience to speculate about Eminem‘s writing process.

CyHi has recently sat down with Math Hoffa and the rest of the crew on My Expert Opinion where he shared some thoughts about Slim Shady. The Stone Mountain, Georgia-born rapper began by saying that in his opinion, Eminem is a “top five” emcee. “I don’t know what n–gas be talkin’ about like Em ain’t top 5. Em is top 5! I’m sorry.” And then “with no ghostwriters,” commented co-host Mecca, a comment that inspired CyHi to talk about the nature of inspiration.

“You think he ain’t have no ghostwriters? Man, you ain’t sitting around 12 n-ggas just f–king smoking blunts. It’s called D12. It’s called Proof. It’s called all them n–gas he grew up with.” – CyHi The Prynce said.

He then made clear, however, that he was not necessarily saying those people wrote bars for Eminem. Instead, he said that it was important for rappers to surround themselves with people who bring them “thoughts,” “ideas,” and “experiences.”

Without that, he said, “I wouldn’t have nothing to rap about. That’s more important than actually making it rhyme, is having something to talk about. Because there’s a lot of n–gas who can just rhyme and don’t be talking about s–t.”

Ca$his calls out Benzino’s ghostwriters, including Cassidy | calls Eminem GOAT

Ca$his has recently sat down on Wraps Interviews, where the former Shady Records artist talked about Benzino namedropping him on “Rap Elvis.” Cash revealed that he has a bomb diss track ready for Benzino if he responds.

“He mentioned me in a song. I felt like he was using my name as part of a diss to Em. He was s–ting on me along in order to s–t on Em. I can’t respect that. If he had left my name out of it, I probably wouldn’t say nothing cause Em ain’t gonna respond to him. Em at a way high level than him.” said Ca$his.

Then he continued: “We are up 2-0 right now. I’m waiting for him to go and say something else and I’m really go and get that ni–a. I just popped him right now but I’mma stand over him on this next one and make sure he don’t never come back. But chances are he run around like a little b–ch and be scared. Throw rock and hide his hands. I’m surprised his ghostwriters even go step up. You sure you wanna hop in these flames? You don’t wanna test me bar for bar and see what I really get. I don’t know if it’s Cassidy. I’m just saying, whoever the ghostwriter is, I served Benzino, that means I served you too. Just go let that slide? You ain’t got no type of pride as a man or as an MC. Damn shame. Whoever it is, hop your a– on the ring. You were the one who said my name. Don’t let this ni–a Femzino take all the heat for it. You using this ni–a as a human shield right now. Whole world is dissing this fool. It’s damn shame.”

“I’m Shady forever. I coined the Shady Gang phrase. I came to Shady Records and took this to the hot. This meant everything to me. I ain’t turning my back on Shady Gang. Ni–as are waking up sleeping giants right now. We might get that 1.0 back jumping. They really really really woke up the lion right now. Em is one of the GOATs. I don’t believe there is one singular GOAT. Em is definitely one of them.” – Ca$his added.

Bizarre of D12 throws shot at Benzino in a new freestyle

Bizarre from D12 has just dropped a new video freestyle called “8 A.M,” rapping over Drake’s “8AM in Charlotte” beat, from Dreezy’s 2023 album, For All The Dogs.

In the song, Bizarre throws a little shot at Benzino with the following lines: “I’m in Reno, at the Casino, with this ugly white b–ch I met from Bingo. She’s 62, said she went to school with Benzino.” Biz probably making fun of Benzino’s age.

The former co-owner of The Source magazine has recently dropped the Eminem diss record “Rap Elvis,” which is response to Eminem‘s jabs on “Doomsday Pt. 2.” In “Rap Elvis,” Benzino throws shade at Bizarre and the rest of D12 rappers with the following lines: “Okay, you found 50, and you put on five Detroit ni–as / Rest in peace to the best one, the rest of them sound iffy.”

Eminem signed 50 Cent to his label Shady Records and helped greatly in making 50 Cent blow up and become a huge success. Before he found 50 Cent though, Eminem had tried to help the five members of his group D12 blow up and he did two albums with them. Benzino says Big Proof, who was shot and killed in a Detroit nightclub on April 11, 2006, was the best member out of the other five and the rest of them suck.

Cole Bennett talks how Eminem’s “Doomsday Pt. 2” came about

Cole Bennett has recently sat down with Anthony Fantano where they talked about how Eminem’s “Doomsday Pt. 2” happened to be on Lyrical Lemonade’s All Is Yellow album.

“A lot of songs in the album were really collaborative. We got to build out the concepts and a lot of really great in-studio sessions and moments and re-working things… ‘Doomsday Pt. 2’ came about…we flipped the original beat and and sent it to him long, long time ago and I didn’t know if he was ever going to do anything on it or not. And as the album was approaching and we are getting ready to turn the things in, it came in. We were actually working on a few other songs on the album. Some that didn’t end up landing on the album that I’m really excited about. Like I said, I didn’t know what to expect, it was not a collaborative thing as much as the others songs. It’s the continuation of the original ‘Doomsday’ which is a flip of his old song to begin with, ‘Role Model.'” said Cole Bennett.

Then he continued: “I really enjoyed some of the delivery and how it came, the Benzino thing to me, it’s just something like I heard the same way that everyone else did. It was just what he had sent in and what he has going on in that department. It has obviously nothing to do with me but I think it created a dialogue and they have their own history and that’s where he was at when he made the song and I think that’s what makes it special on its own way. That’s just what he was feeling that day when he approached that song. Benzino was on his mind I guess.”

“Getting to work with Eminem is one of the highest honors and to have him a part of this project and just look at that tracklist and seeing him on there is nothing short of a childhood dream, so I’m just thankful he could be a part of it.” Cole Bennett added.

Ludacris was asked to choose between Eminem & Busta Rhymes on Drink Champs

On the latest episode of “Drink Champs,” Ludacris joined DJ EFN and N.O.R.E. for a full breakdown of his ostentatious career.

Of course Champaign, Illinois-born rapper and actor played a quiz game, where you are taking a shot of vodka if you can’t answer the question. At one point of game, DJ EFN asked: “Eminem or Busta Rhymes?!” On which, Ludacris replied: “Ahh. Why y’all put those two together man. If it was not for Busta, I would not be here…God damn! I’m taking the shot!”

Elsewhere in the interview, Ludacris explained it had always been hard for him to win Best Rap Album at the Grammys, until he did it in 2007: “One of the best day of my life was me winning Best Rap Album at the Grammys. Every time I went to the Grammys, I’m in category with Eminem, Jay-Z, Ja Rule, DMX and these motherf–kers were killing that s–t. Luda’s huge artist but when it comes to these motherf–kers I’m losing every motherf–king award. And finally man, I make this album, Release Therapy and I went on there like ‘I’m making this f–king album and I’m going to win Best Rap album for this s–t. I don’t care what happens. I’m specifically going in, writing this s–t, making the way it needs to be. And when they called my f–king name bro, that did it for me. Because all these years, it was a decade of loss, and finally getting that recognition.”

Ludacris also revealed that he got the call for Fast & Furious role when he was on tour with Eminem: “I got that call from John Singleton. I’m glad you asked that cause I was on tour with Eminem at that time. This was after the Outkast tour. So, I was on tour with Eminem. I’m about to go on stage in 20 minutes. I get a call from my agent, saying John Singleton wants you to put yourself on camera to try out and read these lines for 2 Fast 2 Furious. I’m about to go on stage. I’m concentrated on killing this crowd right now. We get the camera. I’m looking at the lines and I’m like ‘let me get in this character, let me read these lines’ and now were are like 12 minutes before showtime ‘f–k it just put me on camera, this is the best they gonna get right now’ so I put myself on camera, go out and kill the stage and the next day ni–a called me and told me you got the part. And the rest is history ladies and gentlemen.”
