Eminem and CeeLo Green have a new song on the soundtracks album of “Elvis” movie, produced by Dr. Dre.
“Elvis” is an upcoming biographical musical film directed by Baz Luhrmann, from a screenplay written by Luhrmann, Sam Bromell, Craig Pearce, and Jeremy Doner, with a story by Luhrmann and Doner.
The movie tells the life and career of pop and movie star Elvis Presley (Austin Butler) as well as his relationship with his manager Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks). Luke Bracey, David Wenham, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Kodi Smit-McPhee, Gary Clark Jr., and Richard Roxburgh also star. The film is dedicated to the memory of The Ladd Company’s founder Alan Ladd Jr., who died in March 2022.
“Elvis” premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival recently and new Eminem song was played during the red carpet photoshoot. The movie is scheduled to be theatrically released in Australia on June 22, 2022, by Roadshow Films, and in the United States on June 24, by Warner.
In the song, Eminem references 2 Chainz and Wiz Khalifa with the following lines:
“I grew up like the bottom of the toothpaste do, Blue sued shoes, one missing the shoe lace too, 2 chains, you can call me 2 Chainz, both hangin’ [] loose, Let the fruit cake loose..”
“Attention seekers I treat them like diabetics, got them all on pins and needles / can’t make the next bars out / it never grazed a finger, but when I raise this thing up, it’s higher than Wiz Khalifa..”

At GQ magazine and Warner Bros. special screening of Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic, the director and stars Austin Butler and Yola discussed the King’s artistic development and the parallels with Eminem. In addition, Luhrmann and the cast spoke at length about the importance of this element of the story.
Luhrmann compared Elvis’ embrace of Black music to Eminem, who one of the performers of the film’s soundtrack titled “The King And I,” featuring CeeLo Green, produced by Dr. Dre
“Parker sees this kid who’s grown up in one of the white designated houses in the black community, and is really genuinely like Eminem. Eminem, of course, grew to prominence in the mid-to-late 1990s rapping on tracks alongside the likes of Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg, going on to become one of the biggest rappers alive, echoing Elvis’ movements in rock ‘n’ roll.” said Luhrmann.
Baz also talked about the same topic at the press conference of the movie few days ago. You can check the video below:
Cordae and Eminem reflect on their personal histories for the remix of Cordae’s November 2020 single “The Parables,” from From a Birds Eye View album, which was the soundscape for a Beats by Dre commercial featuring tennis player Naomi Osaka, who is Cordae’s girlfriend.
In the first verse, Cordae reminisces upon the past states of morbidity and poverty he was once familiar with, acknowledging that the vast majority are incapable of empathizing or relating to his struggles. Remarking upon his successes, Cordae demonstrates how fame enables the avoidance of institutionalization in the second verse.
Eminem delivers a braggadocios and confrontational verse, reflecting upon his past and just how unprecedented the level of success he’s accomplished once seemed to him. Addressing his critics/competitors with animosity, Shady ironically enough acknowledges feelings of having a “red dot” on his head as a result of every word delivered throughout his career.
“Parables” are a story or comparison involving multiple things – making the title of the song itself a self-explanatory double-entendre.
“Parables is already a song that was, like, I sent it to Eminem, it’s already out. When I made Parables, I knew Eminem’s vocal tone would sound good on that, because the beat is like that eerie vibe with some Slim Shady Marshall Mathers LP sort of vibe, so I knew his vocal tone would thrive on that.” – said Cordae in an interview on Apple Music.
Yesterday, Cordae went on his Instagram to show the appreciation to Eminem for doing the remix of the song for his own album: “This s**t still crazy to me. A ni**a got Eminem on his album.” Cordae captioned.
Westside Boogie has recently sat down with Bootleg Kev to promote his upcoming “More Black Superheroes” album, the follow-up of his 2019 Shady Records debut album, “Everythings For Sale.”
When the interviewer wanted the Compton rapper to share the details about the album, like – if Eminem is on the album or any other features – Boogie refused to reveal any, but he did share some little details:
“There are twelve to fifteen songs on the album. Everything is a part of rollout. You know, you gotta surprise people. I wanted to be thirteen but I’m still trying to figure out. Probably take something out or add something in the last minute.” said Boogie.
Later in the interview, Boogie talked about Eminem: “He’s nice guy. Sometimes I feel bad for how big he is because he can’t do some of the stuff that regular people do. So I do see him as trapped in celebrity sometimes but I’ll take that.”
When asked to name his top 5 rappers dead or alive, Boogie replied: “My top five is always rotating so I’m gonna say with no order, its Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Tupac and Eminem. Was Eminem political choice? Nah. He might be number one when we talk about the ability to rap.”
Boogie then gives some other details from his upcoming album: “As of now, I have four rapper features and the album is coming out in the next 40 days.
Four icons of the West Coast – Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Too Short and E-40 are gearing up for the release of their supergroup album Mt. Westmore which is set to be released on June 7, 2022.
The supergroup have recently released video for “Bad MF’s” with Snoop Dogg’s official YouTube channel listing the release date of April 20, 2022 in the video’s description but the group decided the reschedule the date and about an hour ago, Snoop announced the release date on Instagram with the caption: “June 7th. The wait is over. BadMFs.”
Mt. Westmore is confirmed to feature Dr. Dre, as well as Eminem who will be featured on the track titled “From Detroit To The LBC”.
In an interview with Smoke-A-Lot Radio, Too Short confirmed that Dr. Dre produced one song on the project, and ProHoeZak has confirmed he produced four tracks (“Won’t You Come Back”, “Canday”, “I Got Pull”, and “Aqua Boogie“), and DJ Pooh confirmed through Instagram that he and Fredwreck jointly produced a track called “Ball of Confusion”.
Few months back, Snoop Dogg talked about his collaboration with Eminem: “There is Snoop Dogg and Eminem song on my Westmore album. It is called “From Detroit to the LBC.” That motherf**ker slapped. That s**t is HUH! It was very challenging for me. Eminem really f**king shot at me. He shot his shot and as a rapper that’s what you want when you get a feature, to have to work you f**king a** off. He is going that hard because he knows I’m going to match him on the same level and that’s what it is when you making records with people that you love. It’s competitive but for the right reason. To bring the best out of each other.”
Minus, a hip-hop artist from the mid west currently representing San Antonio, Texas whose rap style can be categorized as fast rap with deeper undertones of poetry and meaning, has recently teamed up with Royce Da 5’9″ for a new single titled “Plug.”
This is not the first time Minus jumped on a track with Shady Records artist. Last year, he teamed up with Kxng Crooked on a track “Out of Control.”
In the song, Royce references Eminem with the following lines: “Neck and neck on records with Shady / Voices nice you neck and neck with / Necklaces made up moist tonight snow / No Fly Zone ni**a / don’t play yourself but / You and your guys going home or conveyor…”
In a recent interview with, SHOWTIME Basketball on episode 137 of ALL THE SMOKE, The Game claimed Eminem’s music is not played in the clubs, in the streets or in the locker rooms.
“When have you ever heard Eminem song playing in the club? When have you ever heard his s**t in a locker room? I don’t hear Eminem in the streets. It’s not like he can’t rap. The skillset is there but I’m just a better rapper. I just have not been given the light that he has been given. They didn’t put money behind me. I could not pushed to Eminem heights, 50 Cent got pushed to those heights because he played nice. Eminem and him are very close. Ni**as didn’t even know Eminem was not going to do Super Bowl if 50 would not be on it.” said The Game.
In response to Game’s comments, fans shared a videos of Eminem’s music being played almost everywhere. Check some of them below:
Westside Boogie has recently sat down with No Jumper for an interview where the Shady Records artist revealed an untold pandemic story about Eminem.
“Eminem told me a story, I probably should not be saying that story, he told me a story how he was riding a bike around his old neighborhood recently, he go by himself, with no security, with the mask on and he was just riding around his neighborhood. He tripped over like curb or something. Random Eminem story, he probably get mad at me but I want to expose him: HE FELL OVER THE CURB OFF HIS BIKE.”
“Sometimes I feel like he’s trapped celebrity. He that huge. He can’t go nowhere…We are artists, he is just like me. I don’t like being around people. I think if me and Eminem sit in a room for two hours and nobody else, there’s probably be no words. I’m gonna be sitting like ‘alright,” he probably be sitting ‘alright.’ He will try to rap somewhere, I will rap somewhere.” said Boogie

The Game has recently sat down with SHOWTIME Basketball on episode 137 of ALL THE SMOKE. During the interview, The Game opens up to Matt & Stak about his music career, fatherhood, his love of basketball, and his upcoming album “Drillmatic”. Plus, he discusses his relationships with Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kayne West, Kobe Bryant and more.
“Eminem is an outstanding lyricist. Now you put him with Dr. Dre who is from N.W.A. You put him under the machine, Interscope, the biggest label in the world and they tell you this white guy is next. So we were told that Eminem was the greatest and by the way he’s white and that played huge part in his success because you could get white America so you are super solid as far as album sales and he was with Dr. Dre so he got ni**as too.”
“So when I’m saying that I want a battle with Eminem or Eminem is not the greatest rapper and I’m better than him, it is not like when I see Eminem I’mma drown this ni**a or I’mma beat this ni**a. I’m supposed to think that I’m better than every single rapper, else why would I do this s**t at all?”
“When have you ever heard Eminem song playing in the club? When have you ever heard his s**t in a locker room? I don’t hear Eminem in the streets. It’s not like he can’t rap. The skillset is there but I’m just a better rapper. I just have not been given the light that he has been given. They didn’t put money behind me. I could not pushed to Eminem heights, 50 Cent got pushed to those heights because he played nice. Eminem and him are very close. Ni**as didn’t even know Eminem was not going to do Super Bowl if 50 would not be on it.” said The Game.
Eminem has just released the expanded edition of his legendary album, “The Eminem Show,” for its 20 years anniversary, which includes a track titled “Jimmy, Brian and Mike” which was scrapped from another classic album, “The Marshall Mathers LP.”
Eminem’s manager and long-time friend, Paul Rosenberg went on Instagram to share a little story behind the song:
“20 short years ago today we released Eminem’s third Aftermath/Interscope album THE EMINEM SHOW! There was a song that Proof and Denaun Porter always loved and begged Em to release, called “Jimmy, Brian and Mike” that for whatever reason he just never finished beyond demo stages. A couple months ago for this EXPANDED EDITION release Em went back to the lab, recalled the sessions, finished the chorus and put the touches on it so that it could be included in the Bonus Tracks added to the album – along with some previously unavailable for streaming gems like “Stimulate”, freestyles, instrumentals and live performances including Eminem’s legendary first headline NYC show at Tramp’s and others. Please sit back and enjoy the show. Link in bio.” – said Paul.
Mike Saputo, who has previously worked with Eminem many occasions, designed the cover art for the expanded edition and revealed that vinyls are on its way: “For the 20th anniversary of The Eminem Show, we put on some shiny new curtains to celebrate. Jimmy, Brian and Mike approved. Extended Edition available now. Working up some nice vinyl packaging soon!”
For its 20 years anniversary, Eminem has just released the expanded edition of his classic 2002 album, The Eminem Show.

After visiting Power 106 for L.A. Leakers freestyle, Westside Boogie spoke with Variety magazine at The Bakerie in downtown Los Angeles about what it meant to contribute to Kendrick Lamar’s new album “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers,” his experience in the music business, his forthcoming album, “More Black Superheroes,” how Eminem discovered him and more.
Let’s start with “Purple Hearts.” How does it feel to get a track on Kendrick’s album?
It feels amazing. One, because everybody knows that’s one of my favorite rappers of all time. Also, it’s a big leap for me — writing for somebody. I never co-wrote. … My boy Justice blessed me with the opportunity and trusted me. It also helps having LVRN as your management, because, you know, they’re plugged. [Laughs]
What was the creative process like?
It was hard at first … tapping into being a girl. I was doing my little parts at home and I didn’t tell my homies what I was doing. … It’s a little more free when you’re doing it for somebody else. Because as artists, we get trapped in the mind of the artist we’re supposed to be, or how people already see us as. So we do them same type of records because it’s safe. But when it’s for somebody else, you can do whatever.
Do you have a favorite track off Kendrick’s album besides “Purple Hearts”?
“Count Me Out” is my favorite. He was just gassing on there, the way he was rapping. It felt super vulnerable saying how he shared too much and cared too much. I felt that bar, that was heavy for me.
How do you view Kendrick’s place in hip-hop?
He’s Mount Rushmore — one of my GOATs and he has to be one of the rap GOATs. It’s amazing. It’s Compton. Compton is the best music city in the world. No matter what my manager Justice has to say about Atlanta, Compton runs the world.
Eminem said to Dr.Dre that the Kendrick album left him speechless?
Yeah he tweeted Dr. Dre. Eminem’s hilarious on social media. He chooses to tweet Dr.Dre about the Kendrick album, that is so funny to me. I love him.
How has your experience been at Shady?
It’s amazing, that’s my boy. Obviously he’s one of the biggest rappers ever, so there’s that benefit. He opened my career to a whole other fanbase so I’m forever grateful for that. You can always take so much in from him because he’s one of the GOATs.
How were you first discovered by Eminem?
I was signed in 2015. I had a manager named Clayton, who I had reached my ceiling with. Him and my label had a disconnect a little bit. I guess the term would be, I was shelved for two years. My A&R Tim [Glover, EVP at Interscope Records], he loved me. He was the first person to sign me. He got me the opportunity to meet with LVRN… I was on the shelf. I was living in this apartment in Torrance. I got a call from Tim, who said, “Yo, somehow, Eminem heard your music from Paul, He wants to fly you out.” So I flew out the next day, then I was signed. Around that time, I met LVRN. My life started changing, so I could say it was a consistent belief in myself.
