No Jumper crew discuss Jack Harlow claiming that he’s hardest white rapper since Eminem

Jack Harlow has recently released a new album “Jackman,” which includes a song “They Don’t Love It,” where the young rapper claims he’s the hardest white rapper since Eminem with the following lines: “The hardest white boy since the one who rapped about vomit and sweaters / And hold the comments ’cause I promise you I’m honestly better than whoever came to your head right then.”

Harlow makes reference to Eminem’s 2002 iconic track “Lose Yourself,” where the legendary Detroit rapper spits: “His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti.”

It appears R.A. the Rugged Man dislikes Jack Harlow’s statement. “I never talked that “I’m the best white rapper” bulls–t. I’m coming for everybody’s head. No nationality is safe.” he tweeted couple of days ago.

The topic was discussed on Adam22’s “No Jumper” podcast where the hosts chose Mac Miller, Paul Wall, Logic and Buba Sparxxx over Jack Harlow but they do think Harlow is better than Machine Gun Kelly. You can watch the whole thing below:

Jadakiss defends Eminem from Charlamagne’s comments

Legendary hip-hop artist Jadakiss and his protegee Millyz have recently sat down on the Breakfast Club with Charlamagne Tha God where they talked about penmanship, Eminem influence, So Raspy Records and much more. Check out the conversation below.

Charlamagne: I know people like to use Eminem as the bar for white rappers but he should not be.

Jadakiss: Why they should not?

Millyz: I use him as a bar!

Charlamagne: Because he’s an anomaly. Eminem had everything lined up for him perfect, he had Jimmy Iovine, Dr. Dre…

Millyz: But he was nice though! Super nice!

Jadakiss: I like his story, from where he came from. Trailer park. Confusion with his mom and all of that whole thing. The way he made it to. It’s not just because he’s white. A lot of people like to throw shots at him. He might have got couple of doors opened for his complexion, for the connection but he could really spit. He’s a hell of a rapper.

Millyz: It’s a different level of respect. Even if you take away some of his accolades, everybody know he can rap. That’s what I set out to do. I’m kinda following to his blueprint.

Pat McAfee wants Eminem to perform at 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit

The 2023 NFL Draft, which took place in Kansas City this past weekend, was certainly remarkable. The draft had it all—surprise picks, pick announcements by current and former players, trades, amazing music, and more. The musical acts that played at this year’s draft included Fall Out Boy, Mötley Crüe, and Thundercat.

The location of the upcoming draft will be Detroit, Michigan, the hometown of the rapper Eminem. Pat McAfee is promoting and toying with the notion of having Slim Shady perform at the draft in his hometown the next year. McAfee proposed it being a crazy idea for Roger Goodell to walk out quoting Eminem’s lyrics before his performance.

“The whole thought of Eminem potentially performing in next year’s draft is what keeps me around. You know what I mean? You only get one shot… Imagine Roger Goodell coming out with ‘Don’t miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime. Yooo!” – Pat McAfee

Eminem has performed for the National Football League before. He performed alongside Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Kendrick Lamar, Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige and Anderson .Paak during last year’s Pepsi Super Bowl LVI Halftime show. The Detroit legend performed “Forgot About Dre” and his iconic single “Lose Yourself.”

Eminem appears in the video of Aerosmith farewell tour announcement

For Aerosmith, it appears to be the end of the road.

The legendary rock band have announced the Peace Out Tour, which will include a September 18, 2023 stop at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.

“After 50 years, 10 world tours and playing for over 100 million fans, it’s time for one last go,” the band said in Monday’s announcement. Eminem — who tapped Aerosmith’s “Dream On” for his 2002 hit “Sing for the Moment” from The Eminem Show album — is among the stars featured in a video touting the news.

In the video, Slim Shady is in disbelief of the breaking news that informs us about Aerosmith’s farewell tour: “Oh what the mother…” Em says in the clip. At the end of the trailer, “Dream On” is playing.

Last year, Eminem and Steven Tyler hit the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame stage together to perform “Sing For The Moment.” We believe the two music icons will team up again in September in Detroit!

Westside Gunn feuds with Eminem fans on Twitter

Former Shady Records artist Westside Gunn has recently been involved into an argument with Eminem fans on Twitter. This is not the first time the Griselda artist clashed with Stans, in fact, it happened in several occasions, even when he was still signed to Shady.

Yesterday, one of the fans tweeted: “I don’t know about you but we need a new Shady Records full roster photo shoot.” On which, the Buffalo-born rapper replied: “I don’t know if this ni–a got the memo or…” One of the users replied: “Did this trigger you this much?” Another commented: “You should be thanking him for all the attention he gave Griselda.” Someone added: “WSG always seemed so ungrateful. At least Conway continues to give props.”

Westside Gunn hit back with another tweet: “Shut up before I have Hov and Elon get this account blocked and then you’ll have to set up a new one with my d–k in your mouth with your new name Westside Guzzler.”

The back and forth got heated when the user responded: “You have zero pull Elon does not know you fata–. Westside replied with his photo with the caption: “Keep them coming you bum a– ni–a. I need the energy because after all of this I’ll still be a GOD and you….Desperate for a like, don’t even get paid to do s–t you can’t be worth anything.”

The user hit back with, I just made you post a selfie, I run these streets. WSG kept going and responded: “I can never beat you brother. You are on an app you automatically win but when you sleep on the twin size mattress tonight, just thank GOD you was able to even get my attention and I was bored and haven’t did this in a while. Had to make sure I still had it.” The user clapped back with: “You could not fit on a twin size mattress.”

ALL THE TWEETS ARE NOW DELETED BY WESTSIDE GUNN HIMSELF.

Westside Gunn clashing with Eminem fans is no surprise. Last year he posted an album cover with a chainsaw mask and he was told “bro thinks he’s Shady.” On which WSG replied: “I rather jump off a bridge.”

NLE Choppa puts Eminem in his top 5 rappers of all time

At just 20 years old, NLE Choppa is one of the biggest names in the hip-hop game right now, so what better way to launch the inaugural episode of the new Amazon x AMP and Nick Cannon collab show, titled The Daily Cannon.

The “Slut Me Out” rapper stopped through to chop it up with Nick Cannon and the Daily Cannon crew featuring Courtney Bee, Masononthemic, DJ Abby De La Rosa, and Freeze about his new single, being consistent with a more than healthy lifestyle, why he’s vying for the love of actress Meagan Good, and of course, his hip-hop Mount Rushmore.

With no question, NLE includes the late legend 2Pac, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, and choosing Lil Wayne over Nick’s Eminem selection but still including him in his top 5.

“Tupac, Jay-Z, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne and Eminem. With Eminem, I feel like, a lot of people from my community is probably not preached upon to be an Eminem fan but I don’t think people realize the statistics of how many white people wanted to rap after him. Eminem did that.” – said NLE Choppa.

Mark Batson names Eminem song that has one of the illest flows of all time

Mark Batson, who is a genius behind Eminem’s Encore and Relapse albums, has recently interacted with the fan on Twitter.

Legends Will Never Die twitter page shared a post dedicated to 14-year anniversary of Eminem’s “3AM” single from Relapse album: “14 years ago today, Eminem released 3am as the 3rd single off his 6th album ℞ELAPSƎ under his own label Shady Records in conjunction with Aftermath Entertainment alongside Interscope and Web Entertainment.” Mark Batson retweeted the tweet with the caption: “One of the illest flows of all time.”

“3 A.M.” was released as the third single Relapse. The song is produced by Dr. Dre with Mark Batson behind the keyboards.

In the song, Eminem raps from the perspective of a serial killer questioning his own sanity and recalling a string of murders. The song is said to be closer to the overall sound of the album, as opposed to the poppy, fun-poking “We Made You”. It’s meant to be an ode to his fascination with horror movie characters such as Freddy Krueger and Hannibal Lecter. It features Eminem presumably rapping from the perspective of his alter ego Slim Shady, using both internal and multi-syllabic rhyme schemes in his three verses.

“3 A.M.” debuted at No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100, selling 66,000 downloads in its first week of release. You can revisit the single below:

Phresher says Eminem calling him was best day of his life

Phresher, who has collaborated with Eminem on “Chloraseptic” and “Chloraseptic (Remix)” from Revival album, has recently sat down on Conversations With Zo’s Episode 137 where the Brooklyn rapper revealed that the best day of his life music-wise was teaming up with Slim Shady.

“When it comes to music-wise, the best day of my life is clearly an Eminem call cause it was more than money. Eminem is the guy to look up to. My favorite rappers, Jay-Z and Eminem, all day. Anybody can tell you that. So, to get a call from your favorite rapper and he wants you on his album. That’s not real bro! That’s not real! That’s not supposed to happen.” said Phresher.

Then he continues: “He was like ‘yo, call me Marshall.’ I’m like ‘Yo, call me Marshall? WHAT’ It was crazy man, that was not real. And then performing with him, at Governor’s Ball, and he rapping my s–t. You see that, you can go look at that. He adlib my show, this is not normal! I’m a kid from Brooklyn, he’s from Detroit. We are not supposed to link like that. That’s crazy man.”
