Legendary rapper Big Daddy Kane, who is preparing to release a Netflix documentary titled Paragraphs I Manifest, featuring Eminem, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, J. Cole and Common, has recently interacted with a fan on Instagram regarding the comment he made about Eminem under Rock The Bells’ post.

LL Cool J’s radio channel has recently re-shared Dr. Dre’s viral post about Eminem with a caption: “When flow meets a fresh fit ! Shady don’t play! RTB Crew jacket coming soon to Rock The Bells Shop!”

The moment Big Daddy Kane saw the post, he shouted Eminem out with the following comment: “He a beast with it” with lots of fire emojis.

One of the users replied: “Isn’t this the style that made Twista famous? That Percee P has mastered? Why are we giving dude props because he’s biting someone else’s style? Just asking because I’m so tired of the top five dead or alive talk about Em… Top 100 maybe.”

On that, Kane responded: “Maybe you should create your own Top 5 List. Cherish it and stop worrying about what everyone else think.”

Swizz Beatz tells Dr. Dre who should go against Eminem in Verzuz battle

Earlier today, Dr. Dre posted posted Eminem’s fast verse of “Godzilla” with the caption: “Marshall Mathers vs Who???!!” This is the same video Eminem posted two years ago when he started “Godzilla Challenge,” which sparked the rumors of Eminem’s plans to participate in Verzuz battle.

Producers Swizz Beatz and Timbaland, who are also the creators of the Verzuz battle, have reacted to Dre’s mysterious post. “Busta!!!! Let’s Go!!!” commented Swizz and Timbaland just shared the post on his story, asking his fans about their opinions.

Many artists, including Snoop Dogg, DA Got That Dope and Fredwreck re-shared Dr. Dre’s post on their walls and stories.

Could Eminem Verzuz battle be really coming? Is Busta Rhymes the best match for the Slim Shady? Check Swizz Beatz comment and Timbaland’s post down below and tell us your opinions in the comment sections of our social media accounts.

Dr. Dre teases something big related to Eminem

Dr. Dre rarely posts on social media but when he does, we expect something special to happen.

After sharing Super Bowl Halftime show trailer, Dre posted Eminem’s fast verse of “Godzilla” with the caption: “Marshall Mathers vs Who???!!” This is the same video Eminem posted two years ago when he started “Godzilla Challenge.”

Dr. Dre’s post was shared by Fredwreck on his story with the same caption. Later, the same video appeared on d.a. got that dope’s story, who is one of the the producers of “Godzilla.”

In the Super Bowl advertisement trailer, Eminem and his alter ago Slim Shady are trading/shooting bars/words at each other. The trailer and Dr. Dre’s recent post have the same essence: EMINEM VS SLIM SHADY. So, here comes three theories:

1. Eminem is going to do a Verzuz against Slim Shady cause he sees himself the only competition.

2. Eminem is dropping an album where Marshall and Slim Shady will have a war.

3. This is just a Super Bowl promotion and nothing else.

Cordae talks meeting Dr. Dre through Anderson. Paak & how collaboration with Eminem came about

Cordae has recently set down with Ebro in the Morning to have an open discussion on personal topics including his brother Simba who is currently incarcerated, yet featured on his album, and his discussions with Kim Kardashian, the rap scene in the DMV area, being in the tennis world due to his relationship with Naomi Osaka, his weight loss, and studying to be noted as one of the greats one day.

He also talked about his various relationships with the likes of Eminem, Dr. Dre, Nas, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Stevie Wonder and more.

“I met Dr. Dre three years ago. Shout out to big bro. I connected with Dre through Anderson. Paak. I was in the studio with Anderson. Paak and Dr. Dre walked in and joined. Anderson. Paak and Dre are always locked in studio. I was just talking and Dre was like ‘man I wanna hear how your music sounds like cause you look like crazy ni**a.’ And about a week or two later, he called me. He was like ‘yo, pull up to the studio.’ I think someone showed him my first LA Leakers freestyle and he was basically like ‘yo I rock with that freestyle, pull up in the studio, I wanna see what type of music you can make.’ I pulled up on them and we cooked. It was literally my 21st birthday and I had something completely different planned to do that day but I canceled everything to pull up big bro.” – said Cordae.

At one point of the interview, Peter Rosenberg asked Cordae how collaboration with Marshall on “Parables” remix from his new album From A Bird’s Eye View came about: “Eminem was just shouting me out in bunch of interviews, he was like ‘I rock with you bro.’ When I get a verse from Em, that was some cool s**t. That’s some fly s**t.” Cordae responded.

He continues: “He called me and we ended up talking for like an hour and a half, it was probably mid pandemic, we were just chopping about life, hip-hop, rap, everything for like literally two hours. And he was like ‘yo we gotta get some work in and get some music done’ and I sent them…And you know what? that was like June 2020 and I didn’t even send him a song until April 2021, I’m wild low-key. It’s been a year since we talked. I was like ‘let me just get this verse out bro’ and then I sent them ‘Parables’ and boom that’s how it came about.”
