Stay Blessed.”

Diddy says he will do Verzuz Battle only if it’s against Dr. Dre

Couple of days ago, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs revealed that he wants to do Verzuz battle against Dr. Dre, but unfortunately it does not seem as if the California legend is interested.

Last year, there were rumors spreading around that Dr. Dre was in touch with Verzuz founders Timbaland and Swizz Beatz about a match-up, but after seeing Teddy Riley go through major sound hiccups during his Verzuz with Babyface, the Aftermath mogul allegedly decided not to participate.

In July 2020, Juicy J said that he would like to go against the Dre and in the same month, T.I. challenged 50 Cent to bring Aftermath founder, Eminem and G-Unit Records to a matchup.

Few days ago, under one of Instagram posts, Diddy commented “Only person I would do Verzuz is Dre.” You can check the screenshot and a tweet below:

Ja Rule to 50 Cent: “You are nothing without Eminem, white boy made you”

After so many years, the beef between 50 Cent and the Murder Inc. Records is still alive.

After last night’s Verzuz battle between Fat Joe and Ja Rule, 50 Cent became a trending topic on Twitter during the event. This caused Irv Gotti to respond the matter on Instagram:

“You all talking that 50 s**t, all good. He got beat up, stabbed up. Shot up. Sued us. That is all I am going to say. Your hero is not what you think he is. Period and facts.” said Gotti.

50 Cent responded back to him with several Instagram posts, saying: “I put their whole label out of business, f**k with me if you want to. I would stay out of my way if I was not me.”

Today, Ja Rule has also responded to Fifty in an exclusive interview with radio host Big Tigger: “Eminem made you, created you. You are nothing without that f**king white boy. Stop it.”

“We did not get to meet, but we had a phone call that meant the world to me. I have not shared it with the world yet, but I can not wait until the world hears it. He gave me a lot of props that any artist would love to get. Sometimes, the best gem is just somebody you admire, letting you know who you think you are. He let me know, ‘You’re that. You’re dope.’ I have waited a decade to hear that. So it was special.” said Harlow

The Shelbyville, Kentucky-born rapper is probably going to share the phone-call via one of his songs’ intro or as a skit on the album.

Lord Jamar talks about Eminem with Math Hoffa on “My Expert Opinion”

Lord Jamar and Smoke DZA has recently talked with Math Hoffa and the crew on “My Expert Opinion” about Drake and Kanye West, Lyrical rappers never going pop, Eminem and much more.

Math Hoffa literally started the interview with the straightforward question: “Why do you hate Eminem?!” On which, Lord Jamar replied:

“I had a feeling this would go to that direction at some point. First of all, according to Eminem’s fans, every time I speak – I speak about him. Which we know is not factual. I don’t even like to get in it no more. It was never about hating Eminem. It was just stating facts.”

“Hip-hop is black music. We created that s**t. As the creators, we decide who our GOATs are. Not records sales, not record companies, not white people, not any other people other than black people because we were the ones that started that s**t. So he got people coming out like ‘ohh Eminem is GOAT, he sold more records…’ Real hip-hop motherf**kers don’t care about record sales. Like MC Hammer was selling mad records, Vanilla Ice was selling mad records. That is not criteria that makes you good. And at the end of the day, you are not going to hijack this s**t from us and tell us who we f**k with.”

Westside Gunn talks why collaboration with Eminem never happened

Griselda’s Westside Gunn has recently set down on Bars On I-95 where he talked about Buffalo roots, how his music journey paid off, what looks like the last piece of his Hitler Wears Hermès series and what’s next for him.

In an interview, Gunn revealed he has a radio show coming on Shade 45 and explained why a collaboration with Eminem never happened. (Besides Griselda’s “Bang (Remix), which actually was a track with Conway The Machine)

“When I was signed to Shady, I never even wanted to do an Eminem song cause our styles don’t even mix. I don’t do s**t just because ‘Oh I’m with Shady, I gotta do hundred Eminem songs.’ It was not like that but it was an opportunity of being over there with them guys. That’s all I really wanted. I still wanted to have my sound. I’m looking at, trying to do movies. I’m a creator. I wanted to do that Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ and 8 Mile s**t. I wanted to do all that s**t. That’s why I jumped and went that rout. I’m still thankful. Shout out to Paul. We talking right now because I’m trying to get this weekly show on Shade 45 finished. So I’m about to crush him with my own show on Shade 45 cause I’m all for the culture.” – said Westside Gunn

Eminem mural in Detroit gets defaced after 1 day of completion, Chris Devins promises to fix it

Chicago street artist Chris Devins spent his weekend to paint an Eminem mural in Detroit but it was defaced the next day.

Devins began at around 1P.M. and finished 6 hours later, with locals taking photos and paying respect throughout the day. But by the next day, the six-foot tall portrait had been vandalized with 18 bird head sketches drawn with a Sharpie.

“Only one day after its completion, some idiot in Detroit already defaced the new Eminem mural. You can not give some people anything good. Dumb. I can probably fix it but damn…” Devins wrote on his Instagram.

Speaking to The Detroit News, Chris Devins said: “I was devastated. Who would do that? That’s against the rules of street art. I want to restore it to its original value. I would like to re-present it to the community in its unblemished form.”

“It was a great wall. It looked like it was going to sit there for a second, so I thought it could use some beautification. It really enhances that wall. To me, it’s totally appropriate. I wanted to do him looking young and fresh. I didn’t put up anything ugly.”

“There was time and effort spent to make sure it was something people would want, and to make it relatable to the community. It’s not just usual tagging.” Check out the video of completing the mural:
