ATL Jacob has recently sat down with VLAD TV, where he talked about giving Eminem and Future the same beat. Future used the instrumental on his 2019 album “The Wizrd” on a song called “Talk S–t Like A Preacher” and Eminem on 2020’s “Music To Be Murdered By” song titled “Book Of Rhymes,” featuring DJ Premier.
“The song ‘Talk S–t Like A Preacher’ by Future, that’s the same beat as Eminem’s ‘Book Of Rhymes.’ I gave the beat to Future. Future was not feeling it. I thought he wasn’t, so Eminem randomly called me like, randomly, I didn’t even know he’d get my number. I sent him that beat. Dre was like ‘bro, Eminem loved this beat. We ready to sing it off as soon as possible.’ Em was willing to give me $30,000 for it. I was getting $10,000 from Future. So I was like, ‘cool, let’s set it up.'” – said ATL Jacob
Then he continues: “Then probably a week later, Future told me we gonna put this beat on the album. He let me hear it. I’m like ‘bro Eminem wants to use this.’ So it was like a choice between give it to Eminem for $30k or give it to brother Future for $10k. It was just loyalty so I gave it to Future. I let Eminem know like ‘Man, I didn’t eve know Future used that beat, he loved it and it’s going to be on his album. So we ended up still working it out even though Future dropped it.”
“It’s crazy cause Em is one of my favorite rappers. He’s hard… I though it was cap when they first called me, like someone pretending to be Eminem. Then I thought Travis Scott interview where he was like ‘T.I. just randomly called his number’ and they I thought s–t it ‘s probably real Eminem and might be one of those situations.” ATL added.
Hailie has released the latest episode called “Back To Reality” off her Just A Little Shady podcast and it’s mainly about Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony, where Eminem was accompanied by her.
In the description in the video, Hailie writes: “Being thankful to live in Michigan- even after a surreal weekend in LA attending the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, putting our friendship to the test in Selena Gomez fashion after recapping the drama brought on by her new documentary, acknowledging the positive side of keeping relationships off the internet, and transitioning from our listeners’ seasonal spooky stories back to getting Just A Little Shady.”
The episode starts with the funny stories she went through during the ceremony night: “Getting to be there was definitely an experience I will never forget. There are some things that I will share but then there are somethings that I just love and cherish and will keep close to my heart and not share with you. But I have some funny stories that I have to share. And they are all about me.” said Hailie.
Then she continues: “It’s truly a wild west down there because I had some run-ins with experiences I’ve never experienced before so I’m happy to be home. [laughs]. I went out to eat and I’m used to living the benefits of living in good old Michigan and it would be weird to see a paparazzi, it would be weird to see a celebrity. I’m just not used to that. So I got to eat and a girl comes running over and she’s like, ‘hi, Hailie,’ and I’m like ‘oh my god, maybe somebody that listens to my podcast.’ Well, you wish! All of a sudden, out of nowhere, she pulls out camcorder bigger than her. I look same dead in the eyes because I don’t know what else to do. And I was like a deer in the headlights. I’m saying nothing. No words are coming out. Then I continue walking and a guy pops out nowhere and he’s taking pictures. All I could hear was voice in my head ‘PIVOT, PIVOT.’ So I quickly pivot. Somehow in that time when I pivot the guy gets around me the other side of me. We go back and forth so many times the guy’s laughing. And I’m like ‘Wow, I hope nobody ever see this and I hope it’s not on the video because I could have just acted normal. That has neve happened to me before.”
“And then, on the actual ceremony, while my dad was giving a speech, they wanted to film the audience reaction, they wanted to film my reaction. I’ve never been in such situation, having camera to film my reaction. They bring a knee pad for this guy, cause that guy was kneeling there for that long, and as soon as they throw the pad down for him to kneel on I’m like ‘wow, he’s gonna be there for that long?!’ And I start panicking in my head and I was trying to focus on the speech. But the camera was this close to me. And it was little lower angle because the guy was kneeling and all I could think was ‘oh my god, do I have a booger?!’ I’m like ‘don’t make any sudden movements.’ I was barely blinking.” said Hailie.
Nas is back with the third installment of his Hit-Boy-produced King’s Disease series.
The East Coast legend began teasing the project back in 2021, right after he gifted hip-hop fans with his 15th studio album, called Magic. Nasir rapped on the track called “Ugly”: “I’m on offense every day until I see the love/KD3 on the way, this just to feed the buzz.”
One of the most shining tracks on the album is “Thun,” where Nas references his past conflict with JAY-Z, admitting he occasionally texts Hov joking about how their rivalry “ain’t over.”
“No beef or rivals, they playing ‘Ether’ on TIDAL / Brothers can do anything when they decide to / In a Range Rover, dissecting bars from ‘Takeover’ / Sometimes I text Hova like, ‘N–ga, this ain’t over,’ laughing,” he raps.
The first track of the album “Ghetto Reporter” is also one of the album highlights. In the track, Nas interpolates Eminem‘s flow from “The Way I Am” during rapping the following lines: “The audacity, masterfully crafted these classics, so naturally, Had to be Nasty back at it..” It mimics the flow and rhyme schemes of “The Way I Am” intro: ““I sit back with this pack of Zig-Zag’s and this bag…”
You can bump all both tracks below. And make sure to check out Nas’ new album KD3, which already is the album of the year candidate.
Takeoff, who was one-third of the platinum-selling rap group Migos, was shot and killed on November 1, 2022 in Houston, Texas, authorities said. He was 28 years old.
DJ Ray G, who spins for Cardi B on tour and hails from Migos’ native Lawrenceville, Georgia, has recently done an interview with The Guardian magazine where he talked about linking up with Migos early days.
A decade ago, when Quavo and Offset had to network with nightclub and strip club DJs on the group’s behalf, Takeoff was not even old enough to drink. According to DJ Ray G, who was instrumental in the group’s rise out of their native Lawrenceville, Georgia, Takeoff did not mind staying at home either. He had other priorities:
“We would come back home and he would still be awake — smoking, chilling, vibing,” Ray G told to The Guardian. “And you would check his YouTube history and it is Tupac and Biggie, s–t like that. This kid is 16, studying his craft — like, ‘I ain’t going out with you tonight. I am going to stay here and listen to Big, Pac, Eminem.’”
Earlier this year, Takeoff even shouted out Eminem in Migos’ 2022 hit song Straightenin with the following lines: “I keep the cookie like my grandma made it (Cookie) / I keep the keys and the pounds and the babies (Keys) / And the bricks came white like Shady (White) / Drive the Lambo’ through the avenue (Skrrt) / Pretty lil bih’ with a attitude (Bad) / Give a shoutout to the white boy (Boys) / All white Rolls look radical (Radical) / Keep you a fire, don’t let them take it (No) / If they get yours you gotta get straightenin’.”

The BBC is to air a new four-part music documentary boxset featuring and executive produced by Hip Hop legend, Public Enemy’s Chuck D, titled “Fight the Power: How Hip Hop Changed the World.”
Developed by Chuck D and his producing partner, Lorrie Boula, the series will drop as a box-set on BBC iPlayer on January 21st and has been co-produced by BBC Studios and PBS.
“Fight the Power: How Hip Hop Changed the World” will tell the story of the relationship between politics and the Hip Hop movement, recounting the origins of the revolutionary artform through first-hand accounts and charting the journey of how Hip Hop became a cultural phenomenon, against a backdrop of social and political American history.
Throughout the series, the way in which Hip Hop quickly created a provocative narrative of America is explored by weaving together interconnected moments via intimate interviews with integral players in the movement and archival footage.
Hi-Hop legends featured in the series include Eminem, B-Real from Cypress Hill, DMC, Ice-T, Fat Joe, KRS-One, LL COOL J, MC Lyte, Monie Love, Abiodun Oyewole, Roxanne Shanté, and Will.I.Am as well as other hip-hop culture figures such as Rev Al Sharpton, Sway Calloway, Walter “Hawk” Newsome, Nelson George, Dr Rosa Alicia Clemente, Lee Quiñones (influential New York graffiti artist), Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Michael Holman, Ernie Paniccioli, Dan Charnas, Shinese Harlins-Kilgore, Soren Baker, Dancin’ Doug Colón (one of the original b-boys), Leah Wright Rigueur, and more.
About the docu-series, Chuck D said: “The Hip Hop community has, from the start, been doing what the rest of media is only now catching up to. Long before any conglomerate realized it was time to wake up, Hip Hop had been speaking out and telling truths. Working with PBS and the BBC is an opportunity to deliver these messages through new ways and help explain Hip Hop’s place in history and hopefully inspire us all to take it further.”
Max Gogarty, Commissioning Editor of BBC said: “Hip Hop is one of the most influential and culturally defining movements of our time and we feel privileged to be able to bring this story to audiences, in collaboration with one of its founding figures – Chuck D. We’re grateful to all of the contributors in this series and our partners PBS who have helped tell this important story”.
Produced in partnership with PBS, the four-part series will premiere in the U.S. on January 31st. Chuck D is also preparing to release his first fine art book called Livin Loud on November 29, 2022.

To be mentioned along so many historic greats let’s us know we did it right and touched so many lives. Continue to be great. R.I.P. GURU.”

During his induction speech, Eminemlisted more than one hundred hip-hop acts as his musical influences and hoped they will be considered to be in Hall Of Fame in future.
“So, my musical influences are many, and they say it takes a village to raise a child. Well, it took a whole genre and culture to raise me. They say success has many colors, and that’s definitely true for me. So whatever my impact has been on hip-hop music, I never would’ve or could’ve done this s–t without some of the ground-breaking artists that I’m about to mention right now.” – said Eminem.

I wouldn’t be here without them. I’m a high school drop out, man, with a hip hop education and these are my teachers. It’s their night just as much as it is mine. So thank you.”
It seems Bizzy Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is not happy about Eminem leaving them out of the list. In his Instagram story, Bone wrote: “There is no way all these rappers go to Cleveland to be inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and not think ‘why Bone Thugs not being inducted?!’ SOMEBODY HAD TO SAY IT! Preaaaach!” In the next slide, he put the video of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscar ceremony, probably implying that he would walked onstage and slap Eminem if he was present in the Rock Hall audience.

Detroit rapper Icewear Vezzo has recently sat down with Charlamagne on Breakfast Club where he talked about signing with QC, connecting with Takeoff, DJ Drama and misunderstanding him and young Detroit rappers have with Eminem and Royce 5’9″.
“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.” said Icewear Vezzo.
Then he continues: “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.”
“Yes he did a song with Big Sean, Dej Loaf and them. I got love for everybody. I f**k with every artist in Detroit. We just talking about Em and yeah I f**k with his music. But I don’t know him. Nobody knows. We just don’t know him. We ain’t saying to come outside. We ain’t saying to come in the middle of the hood. I can’t speak for everybody but I feel like that. Em’s an icon. I idolize him at one point and I do think he’s the greatest rapper of all time, at least one of them, and that’s never gonna change. He have done a lot for the community, for the city of Detroit. Ain’t nobody taking that none away. We just, musically, we got vibe right now. I know me and if I had wave that Em had, I’d embrace all you ni—s coming up. I’m already doing that and I ain’t nowhere in that type of position. But I do that. Because it’s a right thing to do. Because one conversation might keep a young ni–a from crashing up. That’s all it take. Just a little push. Little motivation. All it takes to say ‘Hey bro, I see you! Keep doing what you doing! You are doing a right thing!’ You know the type of inspiration you gotta be from people that want that from you. You are inspiring hommies! You really inspiring. Just say ‘Hey bro, keep doing’ and that’s it.”
At the end of Eminem conversation, Icewear Vezzo joked: “F–k what I said, I want a feature.’ You can check the interview below:
Vezzo talked about the same topic with No Jumper about a week ago. You can watch it below:
For the first time ever, Shady Records’ Westside Boogie and Funkmaster Flex connected to create another chapter of the legendary DJ’s freestyle series. Spitting over P Killer Trackz’s “How’s It Goin’ Down” production, the Compton rapper showcased the introspective lyricism that has made him a fan favorite from coast to coast.
“Wearing all my feelings/Ni–as say I’m overdressed/At least I won’t explode over feelings I suppressed,” / “Foot up on they necks/What’s the odor? Oh, that’s death/The fact that I even made it through the funk should be a flex/Ni–as get possessed as soon as the b—hes come around/Your character don’t show until you ain’t in front of the crowd.” he raps.
Westside Boogie is wrapping up one of his strongest years yet. Back inn June, he delivered his sophomore LP, More Black Superheroes, under Eminem’s record label, Shady Records. Shortly thereafter, he headed out on a nationwide tour with another Shady signee, GRIP. He also freestyled alongside Iman Shumpert at Shade 45 and collaborated with the likes of Deante Hitchcock and Big K.R.I.T.
Check out the new freestyle below:
Boogie has also recently performed “Can’t Even Lie,” featuring Soulja Boy and produced by Dart and Keyel from More Black Superheroes album live on stage. You can watch it below:
It’s an election day in the United States of America!
U.S. voters are casting early ballots in the midterm elections that will determine control of the House and Senate, as candidates try to muster last-minute support. Democrats are trying to cling to their majorities in Congress for the final two years of President Joe Biden’s first term. Republicans are favored to win control of the House, while the race for Senate control appears tight.
Eminem‘s releases have always been heavy on the politics, especially REVIVAL. The Detroit legend has been taking shots at politicians for years now, So, to honor the election day let’s look back at his finest shots at all the politicians and pundits who ended up on his s–t-list.
THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION
“Role Models”
“So if I said I never did drugs / That would mean I lie and get f–ked / More than the President does / Hillary Clinton tried to slap me and call me a pervert / I ripped her f–king tonsils out and fed her sherbet (B–ch)”
“Who Knew”
“I’m sorry, there must be a mix-up / You want me to fix up lyrics / While the President gets his d–k sucked?”
“Remember Me,” featuring RBX and Sticky Fingaz
“Sick, sick dreams of picnic scenes / Two kids, sixteen, with M-16’s and ten clips each / And them s–ts reach through six kids each / And Slim gets blamed in Bill Clint’s speech to fix these streets?!”
“The Re-Up,” featuring 50 Cent
“He’s already reconciled with his ex, a chainsaw and an axe / Choke a b–ch to death, strangle her neck / While we have sex, while Bill Clinton plays the sax”
“Rap God”
“Made a livin’ and a killin’ off it / Ever since Bill Clinton was still in office / With Monica Lewinsky feelin’ on his nutsack”
THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION
“White America”
“The ringleader of this circus of worthless pawns / Sent to lead the march right up to the steps of Congress / And piss on the lawns of the White House / To burn the flag and replace it with a Parental Advisory sticker / To spit liquor in the faces of this democracy of hypocrisy / F–k you, Ms. Cheney! F–k you, Tipper Gore! / F–k you with the freest of speech this Divided States of Embarrassment will allow me to have! F–k you!”
“Square Dance”
“Yeah, the man’s back / With a plan to ambush this Bush administration / Mush the Senate’s face and push this generation / Of kids to stand and fight for the right
To say something you might not like.”
“Mosh”
“Stomp, push shove, mush; f–k Bush! / Until they bring our troops home, come on…. Maybe we can reach al-Qaeda through my speech / Let the President answer a higher anarchy / Strap him with an AK-47, let him go / Fight his own war, let him impress Daddy that way / No more blood for oil / We got our own battles to fight on our own soil / No more psychological warfare / To trick us to thinking that we ain’t loyal / If we don’t serve our own country / We’re patronizing a hero; look in his eyes, it’s all lies / The stars and stripes have been swiped, washed out and wiped / And replaced with his own face, mosh now or die / If I get sniped tonight, you’ll know why — ‘cause I told you to fight!
“We As Americans”
“F–k money! I don’t rap for dead presidents I’d rather see the President dead / It’s never been said, but I set precedents.”
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
“Campaign Speech”
“Run the faucet, I’mma dunk / A bunch of Trump supporters underwater / Snuck up on ’em in Ray-Bans in a gray van with a spray tan / It’s a wrap, like an ACE bandage… Consider me a dangerous man / But you should be afraid of this dang candidate / You say Trump don’t kiss a– like a puppet / ‘Cause he runs his campaign with his own cash for the fundin’ / And that’s what you wanted
A f–kin’ loose cannon who’s blunt with his hand on the button / Who doesn’t have to answer to no one — great idea!”
“No Favors” (with Big Sean)
“And f–k Ann Coulter with a Klan poster / With a lamp post, door handle, shutter / A damn bolt cutter, a sandal, a can opener / A candle, rubber, piano, a flannel, sucker / Some hand soap, butter, a banjo and manhole cover / Hand over the mouth and nose smother… I’m anti, can’t no government handle a commando / Your man don’t want it / Trump’s a b–ch, I’ll make his whole brand go under.”
The Storm
“We better give Obama props / ‘Cause what we got in office now’s a kamikaze / That’ll prob’ly cause a nuclear holocaust / And while the drama pops / And he waits for shit to quiet down he’ll just gas his plane up and fly around ’til the bombing stops… F–k that! This is for Colin, ball up a fist! And keep that s–t balled like Donald the b–ch!…And any fan of mine who’s a supporter of his I’m drawing in the sand a line, you’re either for or against / And if you can’t decide who you like more and you’re split On who you should stand beside, I’ll do it for you with this: F–k you!”
“Like Home,” featuring Alicia Keys
“Someone get this Aryan a sheet / Time to bury him, so tell him to prepare to get impeached / Everybody on your feet / This is where terrorism and heroism meet, square off in the street / This chump barely even sleeps / All he does is watch Fox News like a parrot and repeats / While he looks like a canary with a beak / Why you think he banned transgenders from the military with a tweet? / He’s tryin’ to divide us / This s–t’s like a cult, but like Johnny he’ll only unite us / ‘Cause nothin’ inside us drives us like this fight does… You stay on Twitter, way to get your hate off, Nazi/ I do not see a way y’all differ/ And all you got are race cards/ Better get the swastika with your name carved in it/ Should be your trademark, ’cause hate’s all you played off/ And you just lick the plate off/ So I guess it pays to feed off of chaos/ So basically, you ate off Hitler.”
“Offended”
“Kiss my butt, my set of principles/ Is gone, but till I get the president to respond/ My pen and pencil is a missile launcher/ And send it to Mitch McConnell/ Just as big of a b–ch as Donald — s–t’s on, bruh!”
“Untouchable”
“But they’re gonna say you’re tryin’ to take an irrational stance/ If you try to slander the flag but/ Somebody has to be the sacrificial lamb/ So they call it a Kaepernick tantrum/ If you don’t stand for the national anthem.”
“Nowhere Fast (Extended Version),” featuring Kehlani
“Sandy Hook, Stoneman Douglas / Another lone-wolf gunman / Sometimes I don’t know what this / World has come to, it’s blowin’ up / And this whole country is goin’ nuts / And the NRA is in our way / They’re responsible for this whole production / They hold the strings to control the puppets / And they threaten to take away donor bucks / So they know the government won’t do nothin’ / And no one’s budgin’, gun owners’ clutchin’ / Their loaded weapons / They love their guns more than our children / Shhh, think another one just entered in our buildin’ / And we’ll be ashes blowin’ in the air.”
“Framed”
“Woke up, it was dawn, musta knew somethin’ was wrong / Think I’m becomin’ a monster ’cause of the drugs that I’m on / Donald Duck’s on, there’s a Tonka Truck in the yard / But dog, how the f–k is Ivanka Trump in the trunk of my car?”
“The Ringer”
“These verses are makin’ him a wee bit nervous / And he’s too scurred to answer me with words / ‘Cause he knows that he will lyrically get murdered / But I know at least he’s heard it / ‘Cause Agent Orange just sent the Secret Service / To meet in person to see if I really think of hurtin’ him / Or ask if I’m linked to terrorists / I said, “Only when it comes to ink and lyricists””
Election Day Election Day Election Day Election Day Election Day Election Day
Like many rappers, Eminem had nothing but love for Barack Obama, and never used his music to tear the former POTUS down.
Shady Records’ GRIP has recently sat down with Sway In The Morning where the East Atlanta rapper talked about his latest project “5 & A F*** You,” most important advice he received from Eminem and more. He also freestyled over Wu-Tang and Capone-N-Noreaga beats.
Sway: I got a call from Paul Rosenberg. Eminem’s manager called me at home like ‘hey Sway, GRIP coming to town, I really need this one.’ I was like ‘Paul, you didn’t even have to call me.’ Now tell us one thing if you can. I’ve known Eminem before he signed the deals. I got pictures of him in my house in LA. I used to school him on my basketball court. I know him for so long, from rap battles to coming on our shows and tours and all the stuff he did on MTV. His knowledge runs deep and I don’t know if folks really get a chance tap into that unless you’re with him personally. Is there something he said or shared with you that really sticks?
GRIP: When we had our second phone conversation, he was just saying — because I was kinda asking him, what it is, I feel like everybody has to have some stick about him to be in this game, because we are essentially characters as rappers, as musicians. You are selling more than music. It’s the personality that comes with it and everything — And he was just literally like ‘Yo, bro, just be yourself and that s–t comes to you. If you find it, it just comes. He was like ‘you got it, you have it already!’ And then I was like ‘If Eminem tells me this, then it’s different. That was probably the most important s–t that he said to me.” said GRIP during the interview.
