Since its arrival on May 16, Fans, media and hip-hop peers have been discussing Kendrick Lamar’s new album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. With 18 tracks of intense content, the 5th solo studio effort from Compton’s finest takes some time to properly dissect. But it looks like Eminem has already formed his opinion.
About an hour ago, the Detroit legend came through with a tweet praising Dr. Dre for his work done on the album. In the tweet, Slim Shady wrote: “Yo Dr. Dre this Kendrick album is f**cking ridiculous. I am speechless.”
Within minutes, the tweet received over 10k retweets and 50k likes. In the comment section some fans agreed with Em’s take but some not.
Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers was released via pgLang, Top Dawg Entertainment, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. It serves as both the follow-up to 2017’s album DAMN. and Kendrick’s last album for Top Dawg.

Yo @DrDre this Kendrick album is f****** ridiculous. I’m speechless.
Royce Da 5’9 has recently sat down with Smoothvega from Nothing Beats Experience podcast, where the Detroit legend talked about recent Slaughterhouse fallout caused by the release of Joell Ortiz and KXNG Crooked joint project called “Rise & Fall of Slaughterhouse.” Smoothvega also asked him about another PRhyme album with DJ Premier, and a long awaited sequel to Bad Meets Evil project with Eminem.
“I can not say that, I can speak for Preemo, I do not speak for Marshall Mathers, but I am open to another Bad Meets Evil album. I have not seen him the whole pandemic. I just talked to him, we have not seen each other for a while. I am due to see him soon, I will probably see him within the next couple weeks. I just wanna see him, I want to hug him. And then I think… he is always working on s**t, So I wanna hear whatever it is he is working on. If he is doing the album like whatever I do not know what the f**k he is doing. I wanna hear whatever that is.”
“He means everything to me [Laughs]. I am just kidding. I mean he put me in the business and he played an integral role in my sobriety. He is just an important person in my life man, he is just a dope a** dude. I value his friendship. I kind of feels like that about all my friend to be honest.” said Royce.

According to some source, Disney has begun talks with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to play Jinn in the sequel of ‘Aladdin,’ instead of Will Smith.
No matter what kind of movie it is, the famous Rock always prepares for his role with a heavy workout sessions in the gym and often uses Eminem’s songs (especially “Till I Collapse”) to get himself motivated.
Yesterday was no different. Dwayne posted a video on his Instagram story where the Hollywood superstar pumps himself up over Eminem’s “Godzilla” song, featuring late Juice WRLD, from Music To Be Murdered By album.
Kendrick Lamar has just released his 5th solo studio album called “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers.” It’s Lamar’s first full-length album release since the “Black Panther” soundtrack in 2018, and his first solo studio album since “Damn.” in 2017.
The album includes a song titled “We Cry Together,” featuring Taylour Paige and produced by Bēkon, J.LBS and The Alchemist. It is an eighth song on the album and it sees Oklama and Taylor Paige take opposite sides in a couple’s dispute which turned into ugly situation.
The song with its concept is very much like Eminem’s 2000 song “Kim” from The Marshall Mathers LP, produced by Bass Brothers. Some time, in social media, “Kendrick made his version of Eminem’s Kim” was trending which inspired the headline of our title.
Tony Yayo has recently sat down with DJ VLAD for an interview where the two talked about the history of G-Unit.
At one point of the interview, Yayo talked about Eminem as well.
“Eminem is my top five emcees. He’s slept on. [At that time The Marshall Mathers LP had already sold like twenty million copies] but for me it was just one verse “Renegade” with him and Jay-Z. He shows his rapping capability that for the hood. Before I knew Eminem or anything, it was like “Renegade” made me a fan of Eminem and I always say that.” said Yayo.
You can watch the interview and listen to “Renegade” below:
Vince Staples dropped by the neighborhood to talk with Big Boy about where he has been for the past few years, his upcoming Netflix show which is called “The Vince Staples Show” and his new “Ramona Park Broke My Heart” album.
Plus, the hip-hop artist spoke about Eminem, Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Norf Norf, his Sprite commercial, and what he discovered during his time away from music.
At one point of the interview, Vince Staples brought Eminem up as an example to answer a question about if he enjoys doing ‘music business.’
“Put it like this… If I had to choose between to be super successful and not being able to go outside like Eminem type person and working a regular job, I’d be working at the regular job. When you look at people like that and you listen to their music and see just how they interact and the kind of people they are… they are not superficial. Especially when you are talking about Eminem. He is not a superficial person. He is not somebody who cares about that element… he just really loves hip hop music.” – said Vince
The public feud between Benzino and his daughter Coi Leray continues.
Benzino, who did not look happy about Eminem’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame class of 2022, was evidently bothered by his daughter’s defense of Detroit legend.
Shortly after Benzino’s little twitter rant, his daughter fired back: “I’m about love, equality, respect and forgiveness. I have nothing against Eminem, 25 years of my life all I know is he a very talented artist and actor! (8 Mile was great) Let’s build bridges and get over them before you burn the bridge and burn with it.”
Zino replied with now-deleted tweet: “As far as the lil parrot who keeps talking about love and forgiveness. Well there’s this word called ‘loyalty’ and a commandment that says ‘Honor thy Mother and Father’ As far as burning bridges, there no bridge bigger than the one you burnt with your own blood.”
In another deleted tweet, Benzino said: “One day you will realize that the people in these blogs comment section do not really care about you like I do & your label execs will have you sell your soul to make millions. I LOVE & ADORE my only daughter but I will just have to do it from a distance.”
Later, the former Source magazine owner acknowledged Eminem’s induction: “Listen we all know that Eminem is a great artist and sold million of units and deserves any award coming to him, all I’m saying is let’s not forget the legends who paved the way before him. The RRHOF has to recognize everyone if it truly represents Hip Hop.
Listen we all know that @Eminem is a great artist and sold million of units and deserves any award coming to him, all I’m saying is let’s not forget the legends who paved the way before him. The RRHOF has to recognize everyone if it truly represents Hip Hop.
The two recording artists have had beef between them for some time now, and a recent diss track teased by has only added fuel to Fif’s fire.
Yesterday, transgender model Shauna Brooks shared a preview of her new song, on which she throws shots at Benzino following his aggressive online attacks aimed at her.
“I was getting some head from Benzino, no neck / He was all on my line, I could show you the texts / He was begging for help / Love it when they go clap / He be loving on this a** / I be throwing it back.” – raps Shauna.
Once 50 Cent saw it, he started trolling Benzino by sharing the clip with the caption: “Oh s**t she better than Benzino. Shauna s**t sounding fire, he know he want this a**.”
Logic and Atlanta artist Russ use “Therapy Music,” — the third single off of Logic’s 2022 album titled Vinyl Days,— as a way to unleash everything on their minds.
The two go back-to-back with long verses of just bars with no chorus, rapping about everything life has thrown at them in a therapeutic release.
Logic’s verse includes lots of reference, including Eminem. At the end of his verse, he raps: “Still at the top, where I been at? Eight Miles from the surface of Earth, feelin’ Infinite.”
The line is clearly a reference to Eminem’s Oscar-winning movie “8 Mile” and his debut album, called “Infinite.”
Dr. Dre rarely posts on social media but when he does, it’s a special moment!
It’s the most special moment for west-coast rapper who goes by the name of Symba whose freestyle suddenly appeared on Dr. Dre’s Instagram page with the caption: “One of my new favorites.”
Symba responded back with the screenshot of Dr. Dre’s post, saying: “I’ve been learning from “The Goat” lately… Dr. Dre “One Of My New Favorites” WOW! “RESULTS TAKE TIME” coming soon. Love you Doc.”
Royce 5’9″ also showed support by commenting “electric plug” emoji and Aftermath producer Dem Jointz replied with fire emojis.
At 13 years old, Symba was known for being a talented local basketball player in the Bay Area, his hometown. However, he picked up another skill around the same time.
In 2017, he signed a deal with Columbia Records, but when things didn’t work out there because of a staff overhaul, he went independent in 2018. A year later, he landed another deal with a new label, signing with Atlantic Records in 2019. Capping off that year, he delivered the strong project Don’t Run From R.A.P.
Now the young rapper is dropping a new project, titled “RESULTS TAKE TIME.”
Back in 2014, Beats Electronics – the joint venture with Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine – was purchased by Apple but when news of the partnership leaked, it cost 200 million dollars and Tyrese Gibson is reportedly to blame.
In an excerpt obtained by iMore from the NY Times reporter Tripp Mickle’s new book, titled “After Steve: How Apple Became a Trillion-Dollar Company and Lost Its Soul,” the legendary producer and Tyrese Gibson’s infamous video where Dre declares to be “the first billionaire in Hip-Hop” caused Apple to cut $200 million from the initial $3.2 billion agreement.
In the excerpt we read: “It was a sum that Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre could barely fathom. As the lawyers worked through final details, Iovine summoned the leadership team of Beats to his home near Beverly Hills. He told everyone that they were on the cusp of finalizing a massive deal. The only thing that could spoil it would be for word of the deal to leak.”
“Iovine warned his team, “Whatever you do, don’t talk about this,” and even told Dre, “Remember that scene in Goodfellas where Jimmy tells the guys, ‘Don’t buy any furs. Don’t buy any cars. Don’t get showy’? Don’t move.”
However, the next morning, Diddy apparently called Jimmy Iovine informing him that Tyrese publicly shared a video of Dre celebrating the deal and his newly-minted status.
“At 2:00 a.m., Iovine got a call from Puff Daddy, who was screaming that Dre and Tyrese, a rapper, were talking about the deal in a Facebook video. Iovine pulled up the video and cringed as he saw Tyrese bragging about being drunk on Heineken in a recording studio. When word of the video reached to Apple’s CEO Tim Cook, he summoned Iovine and Dre to Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino. He invited them into a conference room for a private conversation. Iovine was anxious and afraid that Cook was going to kill the deal. He told the music executives that he was disappointed and wished that Dre’s social media outburst hadn’t happened but said that the video hadn’t shaken his conviction that buying Beats was right for Apple.”
