Lisa Ann details working with Eminem on “We Made You”

Last year, in an interview with Tom Cridland’s Greatest Music of All Time Podcast, the adult film star Lisa Ann talked about the working experience with Eminem on his Relapse single “We Made You,” which was released in 2009.

Interviewer: “What was it like shooting ‘We Made You’ video with Eminem? That’s so cool.

Lisa Ann: “It was so cool. I mean, because I’m an Eminem fan. So you don’t wanna be fanned out. Your are not allowed to have a phone or anything with you because of the privacy. They didn’t want somebody to release the song.

Lisa Ann: “Very first interaction that was the scene as Bret Michaels from ‘Rock of Love.’ I was just in lingerie in his bed. So the first time we really kind of meet we are climbing in to bed together. He leans over me and says ‘hey’ and I’m also like ‘hey.’ We had a great time on the shoot. He was ton of funny.”

Lisa Ann: “Also he’s very creative. I was impressed to see.. they had everything set up in this huge Universal studio, where we shot the video. After something we shot, he was going over digital animation. There are 20 people on the screen watching and he knew exactly what he wanted. And it was neat for me to see him be in front of the camera and being Eminem. And then getting out of bed going ‘well this is exactly what I had in mind, this is the vision I had.’ I was like ‘wow he’s so artistically talented’.

Lisa Ann: He’s not lazy. He knows his ideas work and he’s not afraid to say to somebody ‘this is the idea I had’. Like there was a girl playing Kim Kardashian gets put into shredder, the wood chipper and money flies out. That was him saying ‘of course wood chips would not but money is gonna fly out of Kardashian.’ All of this in his head. And that is true gift.”

Lil Wayne was asked MGK or Eminem / G-Eazy or Eminem

Two years ago, The Champs chop it up with Lil Wayne where they talked about many things, including Eminem. Check it out below.

Interviewer: Eminem or MGK ?

Lil Wayne: Machine Gun Kelly? I gotta say Eminem cause I do not know too much about Machine Gun Kelly. That is the only reason though.

Interviewer: Eminem or G-Eazy?

Lil Wayne: Again, do not know too much about G-Eazy. Also, I did bunch of joints with Eminem, that is my man. When you get on that joint with Eminem it is like a championship game, and you win it, and they ask you how does it feel. I came in with my game plan and I expected my game plan to work. When you send a song to Eminem you attack it like that, like nah, you not going to do me like this. Either we going be right here (level) with it and we are going to make a beautiful, wonderful, great song, but you ain’t going do me that (above me). And that is what we did. Can nobody say anybody got bodied. I just made sure that he did not body me, cause that boy is a monster.

Lil Wayne and Eminem have previously collaborated on “Drop The World,” “No Love” and “Forever.” Do you think Weezy was equally good compared to Eminem? Watch the interview below and tell us your opinions in the comments.

Study shows Eminem is the most named rapper in Top 5 rappers lists

Last year, Designer and Analyst Svilen Kostadinov decided to do a research on Top 5 Rappers debate to elucidate once and for all who is the greatest rapper of all times as he maps out every rapper’s Top 5 GOAT list to see who’s the most mentioned name. The list is compiled through only rapper’s opinions, no generational discrimination, and no self-nominations. According to the research, Eminem is the most mentioned rapper in other artists’ lists.

“Rule #7 of the Hip Hop barbershop talk handbook states that any discussion sufficiently long will inevitably lead to the the infamous “Top 5 rappers, dead or alive” debate. If you’ve followed my work over the years, you know visualizing hip-hop intangibles is kind of my forte. From quantifying literary devices in rap lyrics with my Rap Genius 2.0 Concept…” – said Svilen Kostadinov . Check out the list below.

1. Eminem – 32 points
2. Notorious B.I.G – 30 points

Rayfield Holloman talks touring with Eminem & why 2020 Eminem tours were canceled

In the latest Tour Tales episode, guitarist Rayfield Holloman talked the touring experience with Eminem. Check out the interview below.

Interviewer: From there, how did you connect with Eminem?

Rayfield Holloman: Adam Blackstone. He’s the chief dot connector. My introduction to Em was me filling in for Adam playing bass. Adam asked me and it felt like a daunting task because the guitar is my main instrument. To fill in for someone as skilled as Adam on a show with Eminem felt a little daunting at first. I definitely got through it. Once I met Eminem, I saw how cool and down to earth he was. In rehearsals, he’d be cracking jokes. It made me feel comfortable in that space. It was a relaxed atmosphere. He doesn’t make you feel you have to meet a certain standard. As long as you’re doing your job, you’re good. It was awesome to see how someone who is such a legend could be humble and super chill. I’ve seen large crowds at 50,000 seat stadiums and festivals. But, I had never played crowds larger than Eminem crowds. When Eminem does a show, especially overseas, it’s no less than 60,000 in the audience. To be in Milan, look out in the crowd, and there are 98,000 people there, I’m like, “Oh my! He’s a god.” They were all there to see him.

This was Milan. from r/Eminem

Interviewer: What is the wildest fan reaction you’ve seen at an Eminem show?

Rayfield Holloman: I’ve seen a few girls in the crowd topless at Eminem shows. I’m not going to hold you, I love shit like that (laughs). I love when you give it your all and be free. I think it was in Australia when we toured a few years ago. I’ve seen people bare it all out there.

Interviewer: What song during his shows do you feel fans can hear your biggest contribution?

Rayfield Holloman: I think one song where the guitar is highlighted would be on the song “The Way I Am.” At the end of that song when he performs it, there’s a guitar solo. It’s a highlight of the show. It’s when Em walks off and allows him to go backstage to take a breath. At the same time, it’s a very dynamic moment musically.

Interviewer: What shows did the pandemic cancel for you and what will be its long-lasting effect on touring?

Rayfield Holloman: In 2020, I had a whole calendar full of shows with a band called Robert Randolph and the Family Band. Robert is family to me and I’ve been touring on and off with him since 2006. We had a lot of shows lined up for 2020 that got cut short along with other possible opportunities. Even with Eminem, there were some things that were in the works that got shut down.

MAJ talks how he managed to get on a track with Eminem

Young Dallas rapper MAJ, who was recently featured on Eminem’s new album Music To Be Murdered By: Side B on a song “These Demons,” has set down with BlackySpeakz to share the story behind the song.

MAJ tell really inspiring story, who like a lot of people, grew up being inspired by Eminem. And now years later he has a song with the legend himself. Check the new interview blow:

“It was really crazy. When I heard I would be on new Eminem album, it was November. I was chilling in my room. And my manager called me, saying, you are not going to believe what happened. They didn’t tell me who was it. Eminem is very secretive person when it comes to drops and when he’s releasing he doesn’t want a lot of people to know about it.”

“When they sent me the track, there was only a hook, different artist singing. And I was like ‘Okay, will do that.’ I made the hook and like in two hours later I called my manager and told him ‘you gotta tell me who I’m doing this for’ and then he made me guess. And when I head it was Eminem… WHAT? Are you serious?!”

“Eminem does not reach out to people. He’s not that type who constantly seeking for stuff like that. He’s legend. He does not have to do any of it. It was so crazy to believe. It was hard to wrap that around my head.”

“That’s idol. He was literally telling me that I’m so talented, amazing, gifted. I was like ‘bro you f**king Eminem. You can’t be telling me this. He literally said I was gonna blow up. That was insane to take it in. It’s crazy to think about being a part of his discography, just being huge fan of him while growing up. Listening to his music. Watching my dad and mom listening to Eminem around me when I was young. It’s insane to be a part of this.”

Eminem explains why he apologized to Rihanna on a song “Zeus”

Yesterday, Eminem made appearance on his SiriusXM’s Shade 45 radio channel to promote his newly released deluxe edition of Music To Be Murdered By: Side B.

In an interview, Eminem opened up about Rihanna lyrics on “Things Get Worse” (2009) where Em used some sharp words towards Riri and “Zeus” (2020), where he apologized to her.

“Honest to God, I told Paul this when it first happened. First, I do not know how somebody got it. Second of all, I have zero recollection of even remembering doing that verse. Like, the rhyme schemes did not even sound familiar to me, so I was caught off-guard. It was most likely recorded during the early stages of working on Relapse album.”

“I’m not making excuses for it. I said it, and I was wrong for saying it. It was f**king stupid.” says Eminem. After that, Eminem continues talking about Snoop Dogg.
