List of all songs Eminem released, featured, sampled & produced in 2023

Horseshoe G.A.N.G. – “Nice Me,” featuring Kxng Crooked, produced by Eminem.

Eminem & Dr. Dre get writing credit on J. Cole’s song for “Creed III” soundtrack. 

In the song called “Adonis Interlude (The Montage),” Cole interpolates the lyrics and the beat of Dr. Dre‘s “The Watcher,” featuring Eminem, a song that was written by Slim Shady himself. Eminem is the sole credited writer on “The Watcher” and sings on its hook. The D.O.C. has stated it was Eminem’s work, and the lyrics use typical tropes of Eminem’s writing in 1999 – the sarcastic tone and use of vowel modulation to form impossible rhymes. The beat is produced by Dr. Dre. In the song, “Adonis Interlude (The Montage),” Cole kicks his verse with “Things ain’t the same for young Jermaine” just like Dre’s opening line on “The Watcher,”: “Things just ain’t the same for gangstas…”

Eminem shows love to MC Shan for defending him against Dr. Umar comments

In the latest episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Dr. Umar “Ifatunde” Johnson, a staunch Pan-Africanist, motivational speaker, psychologist, activist and social media personality, said that Eminem can’t be considered as one of the greatest rappers of all time because of his skin color: “No non-African can ever be the best of anything African. It is an insult to the ancestors. It’s an insult to the race and it is an insult to every Black person. Do you think I can go to Palestine and be the best of anything of Palestinian culture? You never see that. You think I can go to Israel and be the best of anything in Israel whether it be a cook, an instrumentalist, a dancer? Hell no. We have to stop naming non-African people as being the best of any aspect in our cultural product because it’s an insult. I can acknowledge Eminem’s talent but for you to put him at the top, that’s white supremacy bro. I don’t see Eminem building schools and hospitals.”

MC Shan defended Eminem against Dr. Umar comments during one of his recent Instagram livestreams. ” You pick on a wrong guy. Eminem deserves respect. You can’t look at Eminem as if he was Mark Zuckerberg and he came into our culture and he just robbed our culture. How do you think Eminem got into this culture? Because he was as ghetto as the rest of the motherf–kers, regardless to his skin.” he said.

Then he continued: “Eminem is part of our culture Dr. Umar! I love Eminem. Eminem loves me. He has mentioned me on the Grammys or wherever he was. He didn’t have to say nothing about me. I’m not saying that about him because he said that. I’m saying it because he’s part of our culture… Em deserves a motherf–king slot in this game. Em was no rich motherf–ker to just come and rob rap game. He had more problems than any black. Eminem had f–king pill problems son. He had f–king white boy problems. Em gets his respect from us. So, if you don’t want to respect him, you do what you do, we don’t f–k with you anyway like that. We talk hip-hop sh–t, you talk Black Culturism. Em is down with us son. Don’t f–k with Eminem. Motherf–ker, you know Em is nice. And why is he an innovator as far as hip-hop motherf–kers like myself are concerned? Because the style Eminem got! He got his own lane son. You can talk all the s–t that you want but you leave Eminem, MC Serch and Snow out of your sentences for the simple fact that these are people that were down in the trenches with us when we were in the f–king trenches… Eminem made money… I don’t see you talk about all this black motherf–kers that made money ain’t putting nothing back to community.”

It seems Eminem has already heard MC Shan’s livestream and decided to show love on social media by posting picture of him playing classic MC Shan cassettes, which are very rare thing to find in this world: “Down By Law,” “Play It Again, Shan” and “Born To Be Wild.” Check the post below:

DJ Akademiks responds Dr. Umar’s comments about Eminem

During his latest livestream on Twitch, DJ Akademiks responded to Dr. Umar who said on Joe Budden Podcast that Eminem can’t be one of the greatest rappers of all time because him being white.

“Okay okay, my boy Umar was going crazy but I completely disagree with him. I would have agreed with him if he said the most impactful and influential, it would not make sense for the culture that’s rooted in the black culture for most impactful and influential person to be someone who is white. But the skill of rapping and being the best rapper, we are not talking about most important hip-hop artist of all time or the best hip-hop artist of all time, if someone was to say, they believe Eminem is the best at the skill of rapping, I do not have a problem with that.” – DJ Akademiks said.

Then he continued: “By the way, it’s just like, even though I’m pretty sure I just kinda get myself a counter argument while I make argument, I know you would probably say this is not particularly rooted in the tradition, but some could make point that say for example golf, that’s something that’s white culture. But ni–as like Dr. Umar, they’ll come out with weird stat like golf was actually created by a ni–a on the plantation when he took a ball of cotton and rolled it up and hit it…But Anyways, if golf is white people s–t, I think white people also say that the best is Tiger Woods. And it’s about just a skill of being a golfer. I think a skill of being just a rapper, it does not matter what race, where you are from, it’s just about the skill.”

DJ Akadmiks did not stop there: “And that’s where I think that if someone had an opinion that Eminem was the best rapper I wouldn’t have a problem with them saying it. Now, if someone said Eminem is the most impactful rapper or he is the most important rapper, no, clearly not. I do believe that, when we start talking about rappers that have had the cultural impact, this is why I give 2Pac a lot of praise, in the sense of what rap stood for rebellion and revolutionaries, I do think he embodied some of that and I do believe the music he made and the movement he had and his career and life has transcended even beyond his death and influenced other people of other times to use music in a way to stand up for the things. And I think that’s where the greatest hip-hop artist of all time that matters. But if we are only talk about the skill of rapping, no.”

MC Shan goes off on Dr. Umar after his comments about Eminem

During the latest episode of Joe Budden’s The Joe Budden Podcast Dr. Umar “Ifatunde” Johnson, a staunch Pan-Africanist, motivational speaker, psychologist, activist and social media personality, talked about Eminem‘s status in hip-hop culture and said: “Let me say something to you. And this is going to my African fundamentalism. No non-African can ever be the best of anything African. It is an insult to the ancestors. It’s an insult to the race and it is an insult to every Black person. Do you think I can go to Palestine and be the best of anything of Palestinian culture? You never see that. You think I can go to Israel and be the best of anything in Israel whether it be a cook, an instrumentalist, a dancer? Hell no. We have to stop naming non-African people as being the best of any aspect in our cultural product because it’s an insult. I can acknowledge Eminem’s talent but for you to put him at the top, that’s white supremacy bro. I don’t see Eminem building schools and hospitals. I don’t see DJ Khaled building schools and hospitals,” and it seems MC Shan does not agree.

During one of his recent Instagram lives, hip-hop pioneer MC Shan, who was included in Eminem’s Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame speech showing admiration to hip-hop icons, defended Eminem against Dr. Umar comments.

“I got something to say to Dr. Umar. You pick on a wrong guy. Eminem deserves respect. You can’t look at Eminem as if he was Mark Zuckerberg and he came into our culture and he just robbed our culture. How do you think Eminem got into this culture? Because he was as ghetto as the rest of the motherf–kers, regardless to his skin. I wouldn’t be the biggest hip-hop producer who produced biggest reggae song [“Informer“] ever. Bigger than Bob Marley, the Guinness World Records say so and so who am I to sit here like ‘Snow was not as ghetto as I am’? I would go anywhere with Snow in the ghetto before I’d go with some people that I grew up with. Because that’s in him. They may be white and can do what they do but don’t be jealous of that. I’m not jealous cause Snow could do whole bunch of things that I could not. Snow was talking me to the mountains of Whistler where I was the only black person there. But he was part of our f–king culture.” said MC Serch.

He then continued: “Eminem is part of our culture Dr. Umar! I love Eminem. Eminem loves me. He has mentioned me on the Grammys or wherever he was. He didn’t have to say nothing about me. I’m not saying that about him because he said that. I’m saying it because he’s part of our culture! What about Serch? Serch was the first one. He made his way through this game. He picked up Pete Nice later on. Serch was real authentic individual. Back then, only MC Serch and Aaron Fuchs were allowed to the projects being Jew or white or whatever the f–k they were. If you was not Aaron Fuchs or MC Serch, they wasn’t letting you nowhere near the projects. If you wanna say MC Serch is about money and culture vulture , f–k you ni–a. Serch ma man! Anywhere you go, whatever was popping Serch was there! White boy!”

MC Shan did not stop there: “Dr. Umar, I understand you want this Black Culture thing but you are jumping on a wrong thing. That’s their magazines! We don’t own their magazines. Do you read it? You probably must do. I don’t read that s–t that says Eminem is number one. I never even hear that s–t until I heard you say it. Because you read their f–king propaganda. But, Em deserves a motherf–king slot in this game. Em was no rich motherf–ker to just come and rob rap game. He had more problems than any black. Eminem had f–king pill problems son. He had f–king white boy problems. He had problems overcoming drugs. Look at me! I was biggest f–king drug addict in hip-hop history, so they say. But look at me and look at Em. He had his own problems. I’m no doctor but you can’t sit there and tell me certain things. Ain’t nobody robbing us son. Em gets his respect from us. So, if you don’t want to respect him, you do what you do, we don’t f–k with you anyway like that. We talk hip-hop sh–t, you talk Black Culturism. Em is down with us son. Snow is down with us son. Serch is down with us son. So all of that, that you talking, you read in their books. Stop reading their s–t. Don’t f–k with Eminem. Do not f–k with Serch. And do not f–k with Snow. Stop with that propaganda. You just make everything a f–king race thing.”

“Motherf–ker, you know Em is nice. And why is he an innovator as far as hip-hop motherf–kers like myself are concerned? Because the style Eminem got! He got his own lane son. And you see Twista and him going back and forth but that’s within our culture. I think I’m better than Chris. Chris thinks he’s better than me. That’s what the f–k we do. You can talk all the s–t that you want but you leave Eminem, MC Serch and Snow out of your sentences for the simple fact that these are people that were down in the trenches with us when we were in the f–king trenches… Eminem made money… I don’t see you talk about all this black motherf–kers that made money ain’t putting nothing back to community.” he added.

Dr. Umar directly addresses Eminem on his Instagram live

During the latest episode of Joe Budden’s The Joe Budden Podcast Dr. Umar “Ifatunde” Johnson, a staunch Pan-Africanist, motivational speaker, psychologist, activist and social media personality, talked about Eminem‘s status in hip-hop culture and said: “Let me say something to you. And this is going to my African fundamentalism. No non-African can ever be the best of anything African. It is an insult to the ancestors. It’s an insult to the race and it is an insult to every Black person. Do you think I can go to Palestine and be the best of anything of Palestinian culture? You never see that. You think I can go to Israel and be the best of anything in Israel whether it be a cook, an instrumentalist, a dancer? Hell no. We have to stop naming non-African people as being the best of any aspect in our cultural product because it’s an insult. I can acknowledge Eminem’s talent but for you to put him at the top, that’s white supremacy bro. I don’t see Eminem building schools and hospitals. I don’t see DJ Khaled building schools and hospitals.”

Later, Dr. Umar went live on his Instagram to clarify his words and defend himself from the backlash he received on social media.

“Let me say this. I have nothing personal against Eminem. My comments on the Joe Budden podcast had nothing to do with Mr. Marshall Mathers, personally. And I want Mr. Marshall Mathers to understand that Dr. Umar Ifatunde harbors no personal ill will towards you. This is not personal! This is business. Eminem, I want to hear me young man. This is not personal! This is business! You are a talented musician, lyricist, producer and you seem you are an ‘okay’ guy. You never done nothing to me. And you never done anything that I personally witnessed to be worthy of condemnation. So, my comments are not personal. They apply to any non-African. This is about the business! The business about protecting the integrity of African culture.” said Dr. Umar.

Then he continued: “I said my comments on the Joe Budden podcast was about the business! Not personal! The business of protecting the sacredness, authenticity and integrity of the African culture. I said that no non-African can ever be the best of anything in African culture. You can’t be the best cook of African food. You can’t be the best rapper of African hip-hop. You can’t be the best singer. You can’t be the best priest of African culture. Nothing we create can a non-African be the best at. I don’t even see how an African can come to the conclusion that a non-African can be the best at anything when we are the oldest people. We are the first people. So, when you say a non-African is better at X, Y and Z than a member of the race, you are saying that this person can do this better than two billion Africans on the planet.”

Oleksandr Usyk reveals how Eminem inspires him to deal with Tyson Fury’s insults

The two unbeaten heavyweight champions, Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury will collide in the division’s first-ever four-belt unification on February 17, 2024 in Saudi Arabia.

Gypsy King and Usyk went nose-to-nose at the fight announcement press conference, where the British fighter tried barging the Ukrainian head first at the face-off. Fury has also repeatedly attempted to insult his 36-year-old rival by calling him a “rabbit.” However, that term seems to be one that has now been embraced by Usyk.

The Ukrainian undefeated boxer told Sky Sports: “I got into his head and now instead of me, he thinks about a rabbit. Keep thinking, brother. I have listened to Eminem for many years, his mum used to call him a white rabbit. I don’t know, I like this rapper. Tony Bellew once said that I am a beast in boxing, I said: ‘Not really, I’m just a white rabbit.’”

Usyk has also recently met Eminem in Saudi Arabia during the boxing match between Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou. He expressed his desire to take a picture with the Detroit legend and he finally made it. Check the video below.

Joe Budden reflects on his past disputes with Eminem & JAY-Z

Joe Budden has recently appeared on “The Pivot” podcast’s latest episode. During the hourlong conversation, the veteran emcee who turned into podcaster, talked on a variety of topics, including his mental health struggles, becoming a successful media personality, and much more.

At the beginning of the interview, Budden was asked about being the aggressor in many of his past conflicts within the entertainment industry and admitted that he approached some of them in a wrong way.

“Build and destroy. In some instances, I maybe went about it the wrong way or expressed myself the wrong way, but the intent is always pure. The intent is always for the better of everyone. It’s never like a selfish act. When I had my back and forth with Shady Records and Eminem, I was fighting for me and my brothers [Slaughterhouse] to get a better situation.” said Joe Budden.

Then he continued: “I can’t regret any of it. There is a lot of things that I should have dealt with different way but I don’t regret any of it cause I pulled a lesson from it. All of the yesterdays lead to today. If I change one thing, then an outcome, then the result is different. When JAY-Z got his role as president of Def Jam, I was a young artist on Def Jam trying to work on my second album. And at that time, a lot of the artists on Def Jam had a issue with JAY-Z being the president. This was the first time that a rapper, our peer, was calling the shots, in charge of DMX’s release date, and LL release date, and none of us took that well. And I really didn’t take it well.”

“I didn’t handle myself well at all. Every interview that they booked for me, I kicked their back in. Every chance I got in front of a microphone, I had disparaging things to say about people who, ultimately, were maybe trying to help me. Even if they weren’t trying to help me, if I would’ve helped myself, I would have been in a different predicament. But I didn’t. Gas on the fire.” Joe Budden added.

Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg responds Kanye West’s apology to Jewish community

Yesterday, Kanye West, who has faced huge backlash for repeatedly making anti-Semitic comments, shared a public apology in Hebrew to Jewish people for his actions.

“I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for my unplanned outburst caused by my words or actions, it was not my intention to hurt or disrespect, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused,” reads his statement, which was shared through the Instagram (and was translated into English).

Ye continues: “I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding in the future. Being forgiven is important to me and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity.”

In response to Kanye West’s apology, the Anti-Defamation League, a non-profit advocacy organization, released a statement: “After causing untold damage by using his vast influence and platform to poison countless minds with vicious antisemitism and hate, an apology in Hebrew may be the first step on a long journey towards making amends to the Jewish community and all those who he has hurt. Ultimately, actions will speak louder than words but this initial act of contrition is welcome.”

It seems, Eminem’s longtime friend and manager Paul Rosenberg could not agree more as he shared the statement on Instagram: “I visited the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe today in Berlin (yes, that’s what it’s called and it’s not supposed to be pleasant). It’s a deep, powerful monument- if you make it to Berlin, please spend some time and make the visit. You to, @kanyewest. Actions > Words.”

In response Dr. Umar, fans unveil list of donations Eminem has made through the years

During a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Pan-Africanist motivational speaker, Dr. Umar Johnson expressed his resentment over Eminem’s Greatest Of All Time status and accused Eminem for not helping black community by building schools and hospitals.

“No non-African can ever be the best of anything African. It is an insult to the ancestors. It’s an insult to the race and it is an insult to every Black person. Do you think I can go to Palestine and be the best of anything of Palestinian culture? You never see that. You think I can go to Israel and be the best of anything in Israel whether it be a cook, an instrumentalist, a dancer? Hell no. We have to stop naming non-African people as being the best of any aspect in our cultural product because it’s an insult. I can acknowledge Eminem’s talent but for you to put him at the top, that’s white supremacy bro. I don’t see Eminem building schools and hospitals. I don’t see DJ Khaled building schools and hospitals. I don’t see DJ Vlad doing none of them.” – said Dr. Umar.

In response to him, @OIIie_X account on X, pulled off the official documents of Eminem’s donations to the community through the years which includes donations for impoverished kids, people with drug abuse and mental illness, preventing gun violence, contribute to music education, etc. Eminem never talks about any of these donations.

In the tweet, Vlad captioned: “Dr. Umar Johnson Took Donations for School 7 Years Ago, Still Hasn’t Opened.”

Dr. Umar to Joe Budden: “Eminem can’t be one of the greatest because he’s not black”

The new episode of  Joe Budden’s The Joe Budden Podcast is going to be as controversial as it gets. Dr. Umar “Ifatunde” Johnson, a staunch Pan-Africanist, motivational speaker, psychologist, activist and social media personality, visited Joe and the crew to discuss a wide range of issues affecting the Black culture and community. In the video snippet that has gone viral on social media, Dr. Umar shut the statement that Eminem is one of the greatest rappers in the history of hip-hop.

In the clip, which can be viewed after the jump below, Dr. Umar said that Slim Shady can not be one of the greatest rappers in hip-hop because of his skin color. According to Umar, since hip-hop was created by Black people, no White human being can ever be better than the group of people who created the music and culture.

“Let me say something to you. And this is going to my African fundamentalism. No non-African can ever be the best of anything African. It is an insult to the ancestors. It’s an insult to the race and it is an insult to every Black person.” said Dr. Umar.

Then he continued: “Do you think I can go to Palestine and be the best of anything of Palestinian culture? You never see that. You think I can go to Israel and be the best of anything in Israel whether it be a cook, an instrumentalist, a dancer? Hell no.”

“We have to stop naming non-African people as being the best of any aspect in our cultural product because it’s an insult. I can acknowledge Eminem’s talent but for you to put him at the top, that’s white supremacy bro. I don’t see Eminem building schools and hospitals. I don’t see DJ Khaled building schools and hospitals.” Dr. Umar added.
