Earlier this year, Eminem and late rapper Juice WRLD teamed up for the first time on “Godzilla,” a single from Eminem’s 11th solo studio album, Music To Be Murdered By.
About a month later, Eminem launched the #GodzillaChallenge which encouraged fans to spit the fast verse in creative ways, lip syncing or rapping, on the Triller app in order to win a shout out and signed lithograph.
The song debuted at No. 3 on Billboard Hot 100 and officially beat “Rap God”s speed in Guinness World Records book.
Google has also revealed the most searched lyrics of the songs in the United States and “Godzilla” makes it into Top 3. Check out Top 10 below:
On Friday, Production company ATTN and Barack Obama announced that they are teaming up to launch a 5-part video series that highlights some of the biggest themes from the 44th president’s new memoir, A Promised Land, the book that became the bestseller in 2020.
“When I needed inspiration on the presidential campaign, I often turned to music. Ultimately it was rap that got my head in the right place, two songs especially: Jay Z’s “My 1st Song” and Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself.” Both were about defying odds and putting it all on the line (“Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity, to seize everything you ever wanted in one moment, would capture it? Or just let it slip…”)” – Obama said, reading a passage from his book.
Eminem responded Obama on his Instagram story with folded hands emoji. You can check out the screenshot below:
Eminem’s manager, Paul Rosenberg also praised Obama’s taste:

Couple of days ago, a picture of Eminem rapping in front of a big green screen surfaced online. The photo instantly sparked the rumors of Eminem dropping the new music video.
Based on the theory provided by one of the Southpawers, @CeaTee_Reviews, this might be true. Read every detail carefully below.
1. In the leaked photo, there are white little dots on the green screen. They are for multiple layered effects.
It is used so they can put something behind Eminem and in front of him at the same time. Like they did it in “Godzilla” music video:
That’s a special green screen that is rarely used for music videos but that’s exactly Cole Bennett’s style. Few days ago, Cole Bennett posted a pictures of a same setup of the green-screen on his Instagram stories:
2. About a week ago, Cole Bennett was in Michigan! Detroit! 8 Mile Road!
3. “It’s gonna be a big December. As of right now there are three videos coming out in December. I can’t say what they are but they are all very special in their own way.” – Said Cole Bennett in an interview few days ago.
4. Kxng Crooked jokingly told fan something related to Eminem happening in mid-December, but was it a joke, at all?!
5. Eminem got really active on Twitter lately. This usually happens when Eminem is preparing to drop something! Em made about 10 tweets in 1 month time span. This is unusual.
6. Why Conway The Machine and Westside Boogie’s albums were pushed back to 2021? Is Eminem releasing something? Tell us your theories in the comments of our social media accounts!
After an incredibly successful year, the Kentucky wonder kid Jack Harlow is now ready to take the next step in his career by dropping his much anticipated debut solo studio album That’s What They All Say which features guest appearances from Lil Baby, Lil Wayne, DaBaby, Chris Brown, Big Sean and Adam Levine among others.
We are celebrating Jack Harlow’s album release with the throwback video of him and his team dropping Eminem bars on Nick Cannon on Wild N’ Out.
“Too smooth like I’m undercover/ I take your girl undercover / Too smooth, ain’t no light brother / Don’t disrespect my white brother” raps Harlow while pulling up Eminem T-shirt to Nick Cannon’s face.
Later, Nick Cannon posted a picture on Instagram, saying how good taste Jack Harlow has in t-shirts:
Genius, the biggest lyrics platform in the world, is doing a poll on their Instagram to determine the lyricist of the year with the help from hip-hop fans.
Genius picked 16 of 2020’s best emcees to compete in the Genius community’s Lyricist Of The Year bracket challenge.
On Wednesday, fans voted in the semi finals to choose the two lyricists that will go head to head in today’s final round and here they are: Eminem and Lil Uzi Vert.
In 2020, Eminem released Music To Be Murdered By and the only album that outsold (excluding posthumous albums) it was Lil Uzi Vert’s Eternal Atake.
But this is lyrical contest, so you better go on Genius’ Instagram story and vote for Eminem.
It has been almost two years since Westside Boogie unleashed his debut LP, titled Everythings For Sale, with the guest appearances from JID, Eminem, Snoh Aalegra 6LACK, and more.
Since then, Westside Boogie has released couple of freestyles: “Fade” and “Expose Me” — and has appeared on some featured songs, including Jay Worthy’s “Bellin,” Reason’s “Trapped In,” SiR’s “Rapper Weed,” and Courtney Bell’s “Lion’s Den.”
Now, the Compton MC is back with a new single titled “Outside,” which features Joey BADA$$ and is produced by Mike Lowry, Tae Beast, and Rascal and is supposed to be the first single from his upcoming Shady Records album.
“I’m the best rapper that, wait, I’m the best rapper alive, I’m talkin’ n***as that’s sinnin’, I’m talkin’ n***as retired, I’m talkin’ n***as that’s comin’, I’m talkin’ n***as that’s tried, I’m talkin’ n***as that died, I’m talkin’ all ‘em combined..” – raps Boogie.
He also interpolates Eminem’s “The Way I Am” lyrics and references Eminem in between the lines: “Funny that I’m standin’ with the dude who made Stan, But never treat me like the fan, ’cause what I am, what I am, Whatever you say I am, s**t, if I was interested, Why would I say I am, s**t? And the, the radio don’t even play my jam.”
A lead vocalist and lyricist of the bands Slipknot and Stone Sour, Corey Taylor has recently set down with Bert Kreischer on 441st episode of the Bertcast.
The two talked about why Corey quit drugs and alcohol, the old music business versus the new music business, fame, horror movies, his new solo album, the story behind the Slipknot masks and much more.
During the interview, Corey Taylor said that he is a massive Eminem fan and also revealed that he loves Prince and generally, many artists from Midwest.
“I am a massive, massive Eminem fan, man. And I loved anybody from the Midwest because I still considered Michigan the Midwest. I love anybody from the Midwest who made it. So not only was I into Eminem, but I was also into Prince because Prince was Minneapolis.” said Corey.
Watch the interview below:
This was not the first time Corey fanned out on Eminem. Few years ago, in an interview RockSverige, the singer revealed that Eminem is his dream collaboration.
“I would love to do something with Eminem. I would love to trade some stuff back and forth with him, because I love the way he writes and the way he flows and the attitude; you know, the emotion that is in it. And I am very, very attracted to that. And I would love to do something where we kind of go back and forth. Will it ever happen? Probably not. But, you know, it is still a dream.” said Corey Taylor.
In the latest episode of Drink Champs, N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN teamed up with battle rap legends Murda Mook, Loaded Lux and Math Hoffa.
They discussed legendary Hip-Hop battles, the evolution of battle rap, the art of battle rap and much more! They also brought up Eminem’s name in the conversation. Check it out below:
N.O.R.E: “I can’t give Eminem, I can’t give Busta Rhymes and I can’t give Jay Z the level of battle rap respect that I give you all (Murda Mook and Loaded Lux). Let me tell you why. I’m not saying they are not battle rappers. What I mean is, I’m not taking anything away from Busta, Jay Z and Eminem but the level of disrespect they didn’t go through that. They didn’t go to training camps.
DJ EFN: “I feel like Eminem comes from that. That’s where he comes from! That’s what he was doing in Detroit back in the days. Em was doing battling!… Em was in that league. Em was the part of all of that.”
N.O.R.E: “But that was not Eminem.”
DJ EFN: “Of course it was Eminem, what hell you talking about?! That’s exactly where he came from. Eminem was the part of that. He had all those.”
Loaded Lux: “I’m with you, I’m with out on that [DJ EFN]”
N.O.R.E: “I’m with you too but they didn’t do the level of disrespect.
After few minutes, they talked about if a battle rapper can make a hit record or a classic album.
Murda Mook: “LL Cool J, c’mon man, you are wildin’, KRS-1..”
N.O.R.E: “KRS-1 is not a battle rapper…”
Loaded Lux: “EMINEM!!!
Murda Mook: I just wanna say this, Eminem had the setting of a Dr. Dre. So, his mind in the frame or the architect work of a battle, I know what I need to set up to make a hot battle rhyme. Now, I can take that same genius mind, and program it over here to make a record, so I am gonna give you the variables to make a song. C’mon, Jay Z, all them ni**as come up raw battling. They came up raw battling, then they got in the studio and the ni**a told them to, ‘Go like this,’ so they can make a record now.”
Eminem’s never before seen picture is circulating around the social media, suggesting Eminem is about to drop the new music video.
New Eminem photo just surfaced from possibly a music video shoot?!? Not sure how real this is but Cole Bennett was in Detroit recently so you never know…LOOK AT THAT THICK BEARD 🧔🏻 pic.twitter.com/OXHqkLf5NO
Westside Boogie is preparing for the follow up of “Everything’s For Sale,” which will be the second release under Shady Records.
Most recently, Boogie shared the behind scenes video of himself and Joey Bada$$. In the video, we can hear the short snippet of the upcoming song which interpolates Eminem’s “The Way I Am” lyrics.

In a lightweight battle, Tony Ferguson will return to the UFC octagon on December 12th, 2020, against Charles Oliveira.
In one of his recent interviews Ferguson said, “That title’s a wet dream. Like that Farmer’s Insurance commercial, ‘You almost got it, keep it going, we are just going to keep dangling it in front of you.’ I do not know what the problem is. I do not know if it is because I am Mexican. I am an American with Mexican parts. Twelve fight win streak, 8 years in the making before women’s sports were even in the UFC. Conor McGregor was on welfare. All these different things and I still did not earn a title shot.”
“But I am still sitting saying f**k the free world, just like Eminem.”
– Tony Ferguson (December 10, 2020)
“The most naked I have ever been my whole entire life. I am still here. I am still waiting. I have got the belt in my room. I could go after another belt, but how much greed is that? I have got an Ultimate Fighter trophy. I have got a Fighter’s Only trophy. I have got a UFC belt. I have got medals and I am Lord of the Rings with all my championship rings.” adds ‘El Cucuy’
