Clive Davis has recently done interviews with DaBaby, Joni Mitchell, Oprah Winfrey, H.E.R. and more. At one point, during the interview, DaBaby was brightened at being asked by Davis to name his three biggest influences. Here is what he replied:
“Lil Wayne. Eminem. So many people, though. Three is not enough. I was definitely a big fan of Kanye, especially early on, so I would … give 50 Cent and Kanye West a tie… I was blessed enough to be able to see a lot of different people have their era, like even like a Nelly, and Lucacris, T.I. … so many people that just had their waves…”
Last year, Eminem also gave his flowers to DaBaby during the interview with Kxng Crooked: “DaBaby is interesting to me. I never know where his rhymes gonna land and that s**t is so interesting to me cause he does it so well.”

In a chapter from his upcoming book Yearbook, Seth Rogen revealed that he auditioned for the role of Cheddar Bob, the friend of Eminem’s Rabbit character from Oscar-winning 8 Mile movie, who infamously shoots himself in the leg with his own gun during a scuffle.
Seth Rogen auditioned twice for the film after his first attempt proved unsuccessful due to the casting director not liking the “rappery” dialogue. He was asked to come back and bring someone to do the audition with him. That friend was Jason Segel, who was also auditioning to play Cheddar Bob.
“We asked our agents if our auditions could be scheduled one right after the other, so that one of us could audition for Cheddar, with the other reading the Rabbit part, and then we’d switch. We had a sleepover at my apartment the night before the auditions so we could rehearse and then carpooled to the audition together.” Rogen told the Insider magazine.
Rogen read for Cheddar first, then Segel. However, Rogen couldn’t stop breaking character and laughing at the delivery of the lines.
“Yo, yo, muthaf**ka! It’s Chedda! What up, bitch!” Segel said, delivering Rabbit’s lines off-screen. Rogen, responding as Cheddar said: “Yo, yo, Rabbit! You gotta record your s**t at Paisley Park, yo!”
“I started laughing hysterically. And so did Jason. We literally couldn’t make it through the auditions. As soon as one of us started the scene, the other would lose it…It was so silly, we couldn’t finish. We just excused ourselves and saw ourselves out, tears streaming down our faces.” said Rogan.
In the end, the role of Cheddar Bob went to Evan Jones. Rogen and Eminem would later end up crossing paths with one another in the 2009 film, titled Funny People and later in 2014, The comedy movie, The Interview, also starring James Franco.
Due to low ratings for the network, 50 Cent’s TV series called “For Life” has been canceled at ABC after two seasons. The show was inspired by the story of Isaac Wright Jr.
Series star Nicholas Pinnock says not to blame ABC for its decision and that “For Life” is not a network show. Pinnock explained his stance in a series of posts on Twitter:
“I am in no way bitter with ABC for not renewing For Life for a third season. ABC has been nothing but supportive of our show, and has championed it from the start. So I won’t have you bad-mouthing them. I can tell you firsthand how great they have been to me and to our show. Sadly, the live audience numbers didn’t reflect and equal the social media attention,” he continued. “The catch-up numbers were really good, but that doesn’t fit the model of a network show.”
“If we do manage to secure another home for “For Life”… I can promise you we will continue to make a show that is beyond worthy of your time and engagement,” Pinnock added.
50 Cent promises the the show will be back soon, on other Network..
After dropping “Dear Slim” video, Tom MacDonald was interviewed by NoLifeShaq. You can check out the conversation below.
“I have never been so scared to write a song in my life. When you start rapping because of Eminem and then the way the universe work and all of a sudden I got an Eminem beat in my hands, I swear to god… When I get a beat that motivates me to write, I write that shit right away. And I sat with this beat in my phone for a week before I started writing, I was like ‘Nah bro’.” – said Tom.
When he was asked about people thinking that he would diss Eminem, the Canadian rapper responded: “I let everybody think that all week. It was like, I was just saying Em’s name and doing my promo as an independent artist and I knew where everybody will take that sh*t.”
The music video also featured the same car Stan was driving in Eminem’s song. “It is not the one from Eminem’s video but it is the same model. I did some research and found out what Stan was driving. I copped the whip from a junkyard, It was black, I painted the whole thing in the same color as Stan’s car, I went all out.”

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’

In this episode of Pitchfork’s Overrated/Underrated, Jack Harlow rates TikTok dances, John Calipari, Nirvana, Eminem, The Irishman, Los Angeles and much more. At one point, when the Eminem question came, here is what he replied:
“These days, Eminem is underrated. He catches lots of slander from the new generation. I think they do not have the context of what it was. He is truly an icon.”
“When I was 9 to 13 years old, that’s really who I wanted to be. I used to watch 8 Mile and I watched the scene of him in the warehouse, those freestyles and lyrics… I love Eminem and I do not like the new slander. I do not like this new wave that slanders him.” said the Shelbyville, Kentucky-born rapper.
