Yesterday, rapper Young Dolph was shot and killed in Memphis at the age of 36.
Maurice Hill, the owner of the shop where the shooting happened, Makeda’s Butter Cookies, told FOX13 that Young Dolph walked into the store to buy cookies. Someone then drove up and shot and killed him at the South Memphis bakery.
Young Dolph is not a close affiliate to Shady Records but he is another fallen solider of hip-hop who once showed love to Eminem on a song with Kay Glock.
“Water on Water on Water” is a song from Young Dolph and Kay Glock’s 2019 collaborative project titled “Dum and Dummer,” produced by BandPlay.
In the song, the Memphis emcee opens the third verse with the following lines: “Came up in my hood selling fifties like Slim Shady (Fifty) / Flood the street like Walgreens and got choppers like the Navy (Navy).”
“Me and Em, we have a song, he just recently let me listen to his verse and it is just crazy, he is chainsaw and s**t. It is good! I think people will be pleasantly surprised when they hear me and him rapping together. It is the first time we did something together and shout out to Em and Rosenberg and to his whole crew, staff, everybody… This is a record that I think people gonna be excited… What I did with Em is super HOT! “– LL Cool Jay (2014)
2. 50 Cent – “Champions” ft. Eminem (Album: Street King Immortal)
“The other song is ‘Champion,’ me and Em. We actually recorded it in Detroit and it is one of those songs that Em was set on this record. Because when he heard it, he was like ‘this is for me and Fifty’ and he wrote his verse on actual record and I came in and played it and I was like ‘ok this is cool, let me think how actually I wanna approach the record,’ then I go to other studio to record it and had to hear it again. Because he made mentions and I do not wanted to make same mentions. Some of the people that he got a lot of respect for and music culture and I do not wanna repeat that.”– 50 Cent (2013)
3. Royce Da 5’9″ – “Rap On Steroids,” ft. Assassin & Eminem (Album: Trust the Shooter EP)

4. Dr. Dre – Die Hard ft. Eminem (Album: Detox)

5. Daylyt ft. Eminem
“After Total Slaughter I got the call and it was like ‘Yo, here is a gift for you,’ and I did not know what it was. I download the wave and it was just random Em hook and I was like ‘Oh s**t, OKAY. I replied to the email but nobody replied back, then I was like ‘What the f**k I thought we had some kind of friendship’ [Laughs]. He had zero connection… It was like here ni**a take it, now get the f**k out of here. I hit the DM on twitter, on Instagram but nobody replied , then I was like just gotta be happy with what I got.” – Daylyt (2016)

Nasaan is spitting bars from Royce Da 5’9″‘s Heaven Studios as young Detroit rapper is back with the new freestyle titled “Underrated.”
In the song, Nasaan mentions how he gets inspired every time he visits Eminem:
“Plaques? Stats? Can’t cope that conversation. But still will walk in Marshall’s office and talk as through I’m the f**ing greatest, even though I’m nameless.” he raps.
The lyrics are the reference to Nasaan’s tweet from March:

Travis Scott’s Astroworld Music Festival tragedy in Houston, which killed 10 people, has touched off a new debate at the intersection of venue safety, artist responsibility and crowd etiquette.
To help understand the role that policy plays in shaping events like Astroworld, CNN talked to Gil Fried, a crowd management expert and professor at the University of West Florida.
During the conversation, professor Fried brought the example of Eminem to avoid such tragedy.
“I handled similar case a number of years ago with Eminem where there was a crowd rush at an Eminem concert down South. And a number of people got injured, and he ended up making a game out of it.”
“Eminem said to the crowd, “Okay, everyone, I’m going to start a new dance with you. Okay? Two steps back, one step forward, two steps back, one step forward.” And he was trying to alleviate the pressure of everyone that was pushed up against the barricade by doing that. And an artist can do that. An artist can say, “Hey folks, I am going to stop the concert for a couple minutes because we have an issue here. You know what? I will make it up for you guys. I will sing an extra song at the end, but I need you to listen to me. Everyone, let’s turn on the houselights. Let’s do X, let’s do Y.” Artists can do that and that is not going to trigger a mob. People are going to be respectful and listen to that.” said Gil Fried.
Back in 2001, Eminem was headliner at a Scottish festival, Green event in Glasgow. The performance was halted for 30 minutes while security pulled 45 injured fans from the surging. “Eminem and his band D12 did all they could to help the situation and we are grateful for his support,” a spokesman for Strathclyde police told the AP.
50 Cent has recently done an interview with Entertainment Weekly where he talked about seventh episode of Black Mafia Family, directed by himself. In the 7th episode, Eminem makes cameo as a White Boy Rick.
“When Eminem found out I was directing, he committed to do it, and working together was natural. It was an honor to have him on the show and it made this episode extra special.”
“The technology that they used to de-age him was the same thing they used in Robert De Niro’s The Irishman movie. Em actually has a beard, so they first took the hair out of his face using the technology and then they de-aged him all the way down.” said Fifty.

Comic Book Resources, also known by the initialism CBR, which is a Canadian website dedicated to the coverage of comic book-related news and discussion, has recently published a long article about Batman vs. Superman.
Batman vs. Superman was developed in the early 2000s under the working title Asylum, with Wolfgang Petersen at the helm. The initial plan was to promote the film as Batman and Superman, implying a team-up, but then, a week before release, replace the promotional posters with a new version that scratched out the word “and.” The true title would be revealed as Batman vs. Superman.
In the article, it is mentioned that the biggest rumor at the time had Eminem potentially playing Batman.
In the paragraph we read: “Christian Bale was already being rumored to play Batman, while Jude Law and Josh Hartnett were considered for Superman. Petersen also indicated he would be open to Matt Damon playing either role. The most memorable casting rumor at the time had Eminem potentially playing Batman, following the massive success of 8 Mile movie.”

In the song, Yelawolf sings and raps about the events, issues and a good memories that they had during Fatt’s lifetime.
The former Shady Records artist also mentions Eminem in the following lines: “Eminem gave me a record deal / And I hit the road, it made you feel hollow / But you never showed it, you just smiled / All you ever said was, “Wolf, I’m proud” / “Wolf, go kill ’em,” “Wolf, you’ve got this.”

“Taste testing meat sauce yesterday at @momsspaghettidetroit this is [thumbs up emoji] stay tuned!” writes Eminem in caption.
When asked what his favorite menu item is during an interview on Shade 45 at the time, Slim Shady explained: “In ‘Lose Yourself’ I was saying it from the perspective of Jimmy Smith Jr., the character I was playing in the movie…You make a spaghetti sandwich. It’s definitely some white trash shit. I still eat it today.”
On this day in 1996, November 12, Eminem released his debut album “Infinite” through Web Entertainment. Recording sessions took place at the Bass Brothers’ studio, with production handled by Denaun Porter and Eminem himself. Drums were programmed by Big Proof.
Physical copies of Infinite were released on cassette and vinyl, and Eminem sold the copies from the trunk of his car in streets of Detroit.
The album received mixed reviews from music critics, saying Em’s style is the copy of AZ and Nas.
It was also a commercial failure, selling around 1,000 copies but Eminem stated in his autobiography book The Way I Am that the album sold “maybe 70 copies.”
The album is not available on any streaming platforms except the title track “Infinite” which was remastered on its 20th anniversary.
