Payroll weighs in on Icewear Vezzo calling out Eminem

Payroll Giovanni has recently sat down with Adam22 on No Jumper podcast where the young Detroit rapper shared his thoughts about his fellow hip-hop artist Icewear Vezzo calling out Eminem for not paying attention to his hometown’s young generation.

Back in 2020, during the conversation with HipHopDX, Vezzo said: “We were never in touch with Eminem. In the hood, in our ghettos and s–t, back when he first came out yeah, Eminem was like a hero for us. So we expected to see him, to be able to touch him, and we’re like ‘yeah we got somebody that got out from Detroit. This about to go down, he opened the gates up.’ But it didn’t go that way. We always wanted Em to play the position that Royce Da 5’9″ played but he doesn’t, so he’s not a hero for us no more. Royce Da 5’9″ is like the president of the Marshall Mathers Foundation, and he’s from the hood. You’re able to see him, he going to come out. He f–ked with ni–as and he reached out, he checked on us, he’d pull up to the studio, he’d pull up to the club. We can call and he pulling right up. Royce the real OG man.”

Laster year, Vezzo chopped it up with Charlamagne on Breakfast Club where he explained that people misunderstood what he said about Eminem: “At the end of the day, it was misunderstanding. As a fan, I love Eminem music. I grew up listening to Eminem when I was shorty. I got real love for Royce. One thing about Royce is, he’s always show love to us, always supports us. He always shouted out. He does everything he can to help us out. He really do. I can’t take that away from Royce. But s–t, it is what it is. We don’t know Eminem. We don’t know hommie. I don’t know anybody that ever met him. Ever seen him. “I think Royce and Em kinda get impression that we feel like homies owe us something. But it’s not that. Everything ain’t always about a favor or money. I think they taking it wrong way. We just saying, you are legend! you are GOAT. You are big! Bro, we are you! We want to see! Can we get knowledge?! Can we get some gang? Can we get some motherf–king motivation?! Anything. That’s what we all asking for. We are not speaking from the standpoint as like ‘bro you gotta sign us. You owe us some money.’ We are not saying that way and I believe Royce and Em may be taking it that way. So it is a big misunderstanding.”

Yesterday, Payroll shared his thoughts on the matter: “I don’t know man. That’s his business. I f–ed with Eminem growing up. He had everybody proud. Damn, he from the D! He was going! He was with Dr. Dre! I ain’t looking at it like he supposed to put us on.”

Kurupt says Dr. Dre gave 2Pac his heart by giving “California Love” beat

There was a rumor that Dr. Dre had so much special love for his “California Love” beat that he had the problem with giving it to 2Pac, but it seems they are all lies and the legendary producer from Compton never had an issue about it, according to Kurupt.

During his recent interview with The Art of Dialogue, Kurupt reflected on the Death Row era and he was asked about Dr. Dre and 2Pac’s mega hit single “California Love.”

“Dr. Dre been had that beat, he had that beat for a while,” he said. “He even told me once, ‘Kurupt you like this beat? Yeah, I’ma see how you sound on it.’ And thought this was gonna be my chance. And then 2Pac came home… and the way we do it at Death Row, is whosever turn it is, everybody contributes. So, you know: your project freezes, everyone contributes towards the project that’s at hand.”

Then the Dogg Pound rapper continues: “Dr. Dre was working on that record for a while before 2Pac came home,” Kurupt continued. “I looked at that beat like Dr. Dre’s heart. Like he had a plan for it, like he was trying to figure out, ‘What am I gonna do with this beat?’ ’cause it was so gruesome and bangin’, but it was fun. 2Pac came home. So when he gave him ‘California Love,’ I looked at it like Dr. Dre gave 2Pac his heart. ‘Cause I used to go in there when he was working on it, and that was his baby.”

While there is no tracklisting available, @TwtLeaks twitter account started the big rumor about Doja teaming up with Eminem for one of the tracks off her upcoming album. “I Just Know… This Doja Cat X Eminem Collab is about to go CRAZY … a collab we didnt know we needed” the mysterious account tweeted.

Joe Budden admits Slaughterhouse break-up was his fault

On the latest episode of REVOLT’s “Drink Champs,” hosted by N.O.R.E and DJ EFN, Joe Budden reflected on Slaughterhouse demise and the New York-bred rapper seemingly took full responsibility for their split.

“Come on, give me the blame; I’ll take it. I’ll take the blame. I ruined everything. Everything that you loved, I ruined that s–t. Even next to 10 years long of just stories and talking, hey, I did it. It was me. It was me!” said Joe Budden.

Then he continues: “I don’t know what was tremendous and what wasn’t but I think E1 [Entertainment] gave us an opportunity and I think Shady [Records] gave us an opportunity. I’m grateful for both. Like, which one was more lucrative, who knows. I don’t think our business was being done the right way at the time so I couldn’t say. We had four managers. That sounds like a mess. I did try to bring one person to manage the group’s entity at one point but that didn’t go well.”

Later on, N.O.R.E started talking about how Slaughterhouse was formed and reminded Joe Budden that him and Royce were dissing each other before joining forces in one group. On that, Joe replied: “You are conflating things. But I guess that’s true at different points. I did a record that was not the friendliest to Royce but I never put it out because him and I got cool and then it got leaked and then it was some back and forth going on. We squashed that and then I reached out for a verse. And that was a Slaughterhouse track. It was me, Royce, Crooked, Joell and Nino Bless. And the reaction was great. So we just kept it up. It was really as simple as that. We kept everybody from the song except Nino Bless. And shout out to him.”

In the latest episode of STORY TIME, Logic revealed that his new album titled College Park kind of takes inspiration from Eminem‘s 2002 blockbuster film, 8 Mile.

“My album College Park takes place in 2011, with me and all my homies on our way to Open Mic Night in Washington DC, in the shenanigans that we get in along the way.” said Logic.

Then he continues: “It’s like 8 Mile, expect it’s an album, expect it’s not B-Rabbit, it’s B-Racial. It’s a good album and I think you guys are really going to like it.”

Charlamagne, Ebro, Young Guru, Lowkey & more share their thoughts on 50 Cent VS Lil Wayne Verzuz battle

Ebro Darden has recently said that 50 Cent would “wash” Lil Wayne in a Verzuz battle, causing an uproar on social media in the process. Check out how hip-hop world responded to 50 Cent Vs Lil Wayne Verzuz battle.

Ebro Darden

“What Jadakiss did to Dipset…Is what 50 will do to Wayne… @yourboyeddie wasn’t outside in the mid-2000s.”

Eddie Francis

“I seen Ebro’s opinion and I was like, ‘What?!’ In what world? I’m not even here to say 50 could beat Lil Wayne, but to say that 50 would wash Lil Wayne? In no dimension, in no world, in no — just no! That would not happen.”

Lowkey

“I’ma say something and I’ma stand on it: Wayne don’t have a Get Rich or Die Tryin, We’re talking about a Verzuz battle, right? We’re not talking about what we like. We’re not talking about what we grew up on. We’re not talking about what we listen to when we’re in the kitchen cooking or driving down whatever highway in L.A. that you drive down. We’re talking about in a crowd. We’re talking about 50 Cent. This man is a mainstream monster; Wayne is a cultural mainstream monster. But when we talk about these hits? When we talk about these bodies of work? When we talk about these smashes? I ain’t saying 50’s gonna wash Wayne, but if Wayne is not sequenced right and is not positioned correctly, that could be a very long f–king night for Dwayne Carter. No disrespect to Wayne”

Charlamagne Tha God

“What is Lowkey talking about? Yes, Lil Wayne does not have Get Rich but he has a massive amounts of hits. I love 50 Cent but one album can not win the Verzuz. 50 Cent is gonna need more than just Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ to go against one of the top 5, potentially top 3 greatest rappers of all time. Lil Wayne could literally start in 1998 and come up all the way up to Young Money era. We talking +25 years. You will catch hell going against Lil Wayne in Verzuz 20 songs songs against 20 songs.”

Young Guru

“For the record, y’all are crazy. Wayne would wash 50. Period.”

Huey Briss says people who discredit Eminem have low IQ, talks his influence

Huey Briss has recently sat down on On The Radar Radio, where Grace Park, Long Beach, California-born rapper revealed that Eminem is his all time favorite rapper and spoke about Slim Shady’s influence over hip-hop.

“Eminem, that’s my favorite rapper by the way. [Why is he my favorite rapper?] Where do I start? Eminem is one of my favorite rapper because he’s the only rapper that really cut me deep at that young of age that made me understand like ‘wow, this is music and this is just like people putting the words together.'” Huey Briss said.

Then he continues: “How many rappers in reality do you know their first name? And last name? And their daughters’ name? And their baby moms’ name? And their moms’ name? How they got on? Why they got on? If you wanna go 8 Mile production-wise, Lose Yourself, it could possible be one of the greatest hip-hop songs of all time and he made that beat. ‘No more games, I’ma change what you call rage / Tear this motherf–kin’ roof off like two dogs caged / I was playin’ in the beginnin’, the mood all changed / I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage.” You feel me? Cuz is going insanity! You can not sleep on any timeless efforts that Marshall Mathers has contributed to hip-hop! Period! I have had debates with the best of them.”

“People always kinda look at me strangely when I tell them that’s my favorite rapper. And when they do that, I immediately know where their music IQ is. I’m like, ‘Oh, your favorite rapper is Jay-Z, huh?’ – Huey Briss

“We are not discrediting anything that any great artist has done but for him to overcome what he did at a time when he did it with the company that he did it with, the beefs he was in, the musical knowledge he had to have, the emotional IQ to play chess with your opponents this way, with mainstream, f–king MTV, like, brother, he was talking over TRL. He was so influential and people don’t even know it. In a white tee, this man was doing most of these either in Jordan sweatsuit or a white tee. Next subject please.” – Huey Briss added.
