Yesterday, Eminem discussed his new deluxe album Music To Be Murdered By: SideB on his own radio channel, Shade 45.
One of the things that Eminem talked about in that interview, was the Rap God explaining the tendency of him dropping surprise albums:
“I feel like when I talking about that album is coming out, if I give people notice. They start seeing the tracklist and they know it’s coming, I feel like, my best shot to avoid it is just to drop it, instead of people thinking to themselves like ‘if he got this person on the album, I ain’t f**king with it.’ It gives everybody too much time to think about it and their expectations what they think it should be I will never meet that. So this is kind of theory I have based every since of Revival.”
In the two years span, Eminem dropped three surprise albums: Kamikaze, Music To Be Murdered By and Music To Be Murdered By: Side B (Deluxe Edition). Watch the interview below:
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.
Eminem has just hit his radio station Shade 45 to promote the deluxe edition of Music To Be Murdered By: Side B.
In an interview, Eminem explains why he felt disrespected by Snoop Dogg.
“Couple of months ago, Snoop Dogg was doing an interview with Breakfast Club. Somehow my name got brought up and he was say things about, you know, I’m not in his Top 10. Everything he said, by the way, was fine. Him saying I’m not in his Top 10 rappers because the 90s I can’t f**k with. Absolutely. Him saying Dre made the best version of me. Absolutely. Why would I have a problem with that. Will I be here without Dre? F**k no! The rappers he mentioned from 90s, KRS One, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, I never said I could f**k with them. I never said that.”
“Everything was good until like…It was more about the tone he was using that caught me off guard cause I’m like: ‘where is this coming from?’ I just saw you! What the f**k! It threw me for a loop again. I could probably get passed to that tone and everything but the last statement that he said ‘as far as his music I can live without that!’ Now you’ve been disrespectful. You just caught me off guard. I was not ready for that.
People started hit me up about it. Asking what you gonna do. And I didn’t know what to do about it first. It confused me and I’m like ‘bro we are on the same team. What the f**k! And I’ve never in my career, my entire career, ever said a disrespectful word about Snoop Dogg. I mean, what the f**k. His impact on hip-hop, I can’t front on that. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. My top 10 can’t be the same as his. How can I be mad at that? I was not mad about the opinion, it was after that. The very last statement was like ‘oh what the f**k. Damn dawg, really?! I said what needed to be said.”
The second season of Verzuz Battle kicked off with record-breaking Gucci Mane versus Jeezy. Since then fans have been wondering which battle will be next and we just might be getting closer to the clash of two music titans: Dr. Dre and Puff Diddy.
During a recent interview with TMZ, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz spoke about their unbelievably successful show with Instagram Live and Apple Music, talking about the possibility of a fight between Puff Diddy and Dr. Dre, which might actually be in the works.
“Now that’s something different. Everybody has these magical wishes that they want to see on Verzuz but the universe has been bringing these magical wishes so I can not even say what is not gonna happen because a lot of the Verzuz, just like the last one we’ve seen, everybody said that it could not happen. Right? So now, we just let the universe naturally make things happen.”
“I am not not gonna say no about Dr. Dre and Diddy battle. I am never gonna say no anymore.” says Swizz Beatz. Watch the video below:
