Cole Bennett, who has worked with almost every new school hip-hop artist, visited Eminem’s Mom’s Spaghetti restaurant in downtown Detroit.
The Lyrical Lemonade founder shared a picture on his Instagram story which was re-shared by Stat Dibiase, a member of CIU Records management. Dibiase is the man who first teased Eminem and Dr. Dre’s upcoming song on social media.
Cole has previously directed two music videos of Eminem: “Godzilla,” featuring Juice WRLD from Music To Be Murdered By and “Gnat” from Music To Be Murdered By Side B.
Now, if connect the dots, the rumor has it that Cole Bennett might be directing the music video for Dr. Dre and Eminem’s new song, which is probably from GTA Online: The Contract.

In the latest episode of “People’s Party With Talib Kweli,” Jasmin Leigh and Talib Kweli sit down with Palestinian-Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer: BELLY. During one hour long interview, the three talked about Belly’s love for Eminem.
Jasmin Leigh: You studied Eminem while growing up. He was one of your favorite rappers. Can you let me know why Em was so vital to your career?
Belly: I loved rap already at that point. I just feel like Eminem elevated certain things like rhyme schemes. The first time certain things like that were heard by the masses. Him rhyming three and four words in one bar.
Talib Kweli: Yeah. He was a part of the scene but he brought it to mainstream.
Belly: There were lot of these guys doing double and triple and compound rhymes and all that but he really was the first one who really kinda made it pop. I feel like when Eminem came it was just like different thing at that time. To me it felt so different. That’s why I doven and really tried to study what he was doing.
Jasmin Leigh: I know Eminem is on your bucket list to do a song with but I was wondering are you wanting to do a song with more like serious-straight-bar-Eminem or more of an entertainment side of Eminem?
Belly: I think it depends on what the studio night’s feeling. If we in the studio and we feel saucy and we wanna do some funny….
Talib Kweli: I think what’s funny about that question is that, funny thing about Eminem is…I don’t know the names of bigger Eminem records he has like Rihanna and certain other records he has but these records are played in the radio all the time but what’s funny to me about Eminem is, it does not matter how pop the record is, he has lots of pop records with pop production right? It does not matter how pop the record is, he, as an emcee, always trying to impress emcees. I just be honest, sometimes, it sounds out of place to me [laughs]. Sometimes the record is so pop but he’s still going so hard! It’s like that EPMD record on the Nas’ joint. It was like, okay, EPMD is rapping, Nas is rapping, everybody understood the assignment but Eminem was like ‘No, no, no! I have to outdo my verse form last year on last feature you heard me from so now I’m just gonna rap!’ And I’m like WOW! I can’t imagine having that amount of pressure every time you getting in the f**kin’ booth. You gotta come like that! You gotta do all that voices…. He always trying to outdo whatever he did the last time. But I guess that’s why he is who he is. It like the song does not even matter. The chart position does not even matter. He does not even care if those bars make sense on that beat, to do that rhyme cause his standard is: THEY GONNA RESPECT THESE BARS, THOUGH.”
Belly: Yeah, it’s crazy. His standard is OVER HERE. Every time he’s trying to beat that, it’s tough man. That’s really my approach too. He really does like that.
This week, Icewear Vezzo set down with Lando Bando and responded to Royce, agreeing Royce that Eminem is not obliged to do anything but if he was in Em’s shoe, you would act differently.
Yesterday, Royce responded back with an Instagram video, saying: “I don’t want none of this stuff to overshadow the way I feel about Vezzo, Young Veeze, Payroll, Peezy, Sada. I can just keep naming people. I’m extremely proud of you all. And I understand exactly how you feel. We don’t disagree on anything. I understand how you feel. I felt the same way when I was in your position. Maybe I said too much when I did my interview.” – said Royce
“Let me just say this: Feel how you feel. I’m not here to change, your feelings, validate your feelings. My job as an OG, is just, when you feel like to do something that can be done to rectify it or gets you to a better place, let me know, I’m here. In a meantime, I support all of you. A hundred percent. Keep doing your thing. I’m proud of you all. Alright? love and respect!” Royce added.

Now the new snippet of Eminem and Dr. Dre song surfaces online!
Thanks David for the info! You can bump the new snippet below:
“I never met Eminem. I don’t know what that ni**a look like. I never heard from him. I don’t know anyone who ever met him other than Big Sean and Royce. I don’t know anybody that he ever reached out to show any type of love to. This is what people gotta understand: For me, I don’t expect a ni**a to do nothing. I mean, he ain’t obligated to do nothing. We ain’t investing in that ni**a. We ain’t the reason he’s rich. You ain’t put that ni**a. He ain’t gotta do s**t. I f**k with Royce. Royce my big brother. I got love for Royce but I gotta disagree with him. He basically said that for ni**a to show love, you gotta be his favorite rapper. That’s what he said. Why would Eminem reach out and do s**t when we say our top five rappers from the city and we don’t mention him. So he gotta be one of our favorite rappers to show some type of love? I don’t think that makes sense. Because why would a ni**a lie? You want us to represent Detroit properly right? We don’t need no ni**as that’s capping. Ni**as should be able to be themselves. If a ni**a gonna show love do that because that’s what you feel like you need to do. For me personally, I would feel like I’m supposed to do that because this is my city. The city I represent. It would be only right from me to reach back out and tap in with young ni**as. I’ve done songs with almost every ni**a in Detroit and I ain’t as big as Eminem. And you think them ni**as told me I was their favorite rapper? F**k no.”
“I was not listening to Lose Yourself and this type of songs. I love my mama. I was not beefing with my mama. I don’t wanna kill my mama. My mama raised my. My mama’s black queen. She taught me what it is to be a man. She showed me how to treat other black women. How to treat women in general. I can’t relate to disliking my mother and I’m not saying Eminem is wrong for that. I just say I can’t relate to that. I was listening to the ni**as I could relate to. And no I don’t think Em owns us anything. He is not obligated to do anything. That’s his money. That’s his career. That ni**a’s a legend. One of the best lyricist of all time. Because we don’t listen to him, it don’t take away from his talent. That ni**as from Detroit. You can’t take that from him. He is really from this b**ch. He struggled in this motherf**ker. We ain’t taking away anything from him. He’s an amazing lyricist but he did not motivate us bro.”
“What Royce said, that literally means ‘in order for me to show you love, I need to be in your top five on interviews, f**k what you feel. And you if don’t, I can’t show you any type of love.’ I think Royce was mad at Em before. They had problems. They might have been for exact same reason as we are. So, I don’t think it’s fair from Royce to be in good spot with Em and not allow us to express our feelings. Because he’s in a good spot with him. You know me and every other ni**a that’s turnt right now, you know how many young ni**as we done motivated just DMing them? Like ‘hey bro I see you. Keep grinding. Keep shining. This could have been a ni**a that was about to give up. Thin ni**a was about to quit. He thought he could not rap. He thought nobody was listening to him. We was gonna get back to the streets, robbing and selling dope and popping ni**as. He was gonna do that but the ni**a that he admired told him don’t do that and you are doing the right thing. That’s all it took. So doing stuff for us does not mean physically. It just means motivating ni**as who need the motivation and might need a little push. Who other better to do it than a ni**a that’s statue, an icon?” – said Icewear Vezzo.
Tom Macdonald continues to show his respect to Eminem.
The Canadian-rapper, who bought Eminem’s beat earlier this year through NFT, has released new song, titled “Naked” where he gives shout out to Eminem.
“Can’t get clout? Don’t give no damns, I got plaques on plaques on plaques on plaques on plaques / I’m just doing what they can’t, uh / No cap, no cap, no cap, no cap, no cap, feel like I’m the rap god / No, that ain’t a diss on Eminem, he practically why I rap, dawg.” raps MacDonald.

“Last year it was, ‘Who’s this new white boy on the scene who can rap his ass off? He’s dope.’ This year I am showing the world who I am. I want to be the biggest rapper. I just want everybody to know I love rap and I’m about to take over.”
“My mother played Eminem to me and this is how I was introduced to rap. The writing, the storytelling, the rhythm of it… I was so attracted to it. It made you move, made you dance, feel confident; it made you feel like the man.”
