On Saturday, November 5th, 2022 – Eminem was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame by his long-time collaborator, mentor and friend, legendary producer, Dr. Dre.
The Eminem show included a performance of some of his greatest hits, featuring Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, Ed Sheeran and of course Denaun Porter as his hypeman.
The ceremony aired on HBO yesterday, November 19, 2022. To alert the fans about the broadcast, Denaun Porter went on Instagram, shared some of the iconic pictures with Eminem and penned a beautiful message to his long-time close friend and collaborator.
“Too many battles to recount, too many trials to mention , but all in all the journey has been amazing… God had us all along. I don’t speak much or talk a lot because I’m busy trying to live life outside of socially sharing and navigate it’s Bs even in this and how tough it is to do. I am full of gratitude. Eminem, love you Broski and we ain’t even close to done!” said Mr. Porter
It seems Eminem’s manger and friend Paul Rosenberg could not help himself not to react: “You’ve been there since the beginning and he couldn’t have done it without you. Take a bow, Mr. Porter! That trophy is yours too.” he commented.
Royce 5’9″ also commented “The Gawds,” and Bizarre “My guys,” followed by fire emojis from Busta Rhymes, Symbolyc One, Lazarus and goat emojis from DJ Khalil.
Shady Records’ Westside Boogie is capitalizing on his momentum and dropped a LIMITED EDITION of MORE BLACK SUPERHEORES album with six new tracks, which includes three live recordings of previously recorded tracks.
The deluxe edition features live versions of album cuts “KILLA MODE,” “NONCHALANT,” and “CAN’T EVEN LIE.” Their inclusion makes sense, considering their popularity on the album with live instrumentation, but Westside Boogie doesn’t stop there. He also delivers a few new soulful, smooth, and intimate tracks that fit snugly in the tracklist.
There are two solo cuts “FLOAT” and “CONTRADICITONS,” And there’s the Rapsody and Alex Isley-assisted “HALFWAY RIGHT,” on which Boogie and Rhapsody spit from differing male and female perspectives on a failing relationship. Both try to understand why they feel so frustrated and point out hypocrisies in both parties’ behavior. Alex Isley provides the hook.
Boogie has also just released the music video of “NONCHALANT,” featuring Mamii. You can watch it below:
The 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, including Detroit inductee Eminem, has just made its broadcast debut.
The four-hour hall of fame show premiered at 8 p.m. Saturday on HBO, with an immediate re-airing at midnight. The program is also now available for streaming on HBO Max.
Eminem was among this year’s seven major rock-hall inductees, alongside Dolly Parton, Duran Duran, Pat Benatar, Lionel Richie, Carly Simon and the Eurythmics. The program, featuring performances and tributes, was taped November 5, 2022 for a star-filled crowd at Los Angeles’ Microsoft Theater.
Eminem was inducted by his longtime producer, collaborator and mentor Dr. Dre, and was joined by D12’s Denaun Porter for a performance medley. Slim Shady then accepted his induction with a speech rattling off more than 100 hip-hop acts who inspired his music.
The live performance is not yet available on free streaming services but some clips already started to surface on the net. One of them includes a reaction from Olivia Rodrigo when Eminem invited Steven Tyler to perform “Sing For The Moment.”
It has been few months since Westside Boogie unleashed his sophomore LP under Eminem’s Shady Records, titled MORE BLACK SUPERHEROES, and he continues to keep his momentum going in a very creative ways.
Earlier this week, he decided to bless the masses with a performance visual for “CAN’T EVEN LIE,” a Dart and Keyel-produced cut that features Soulja Boy and sees the two artists keeping it real about a series of hood-related issues, followed by Mamii assisted “NONCHALANT” track.
In addition to his live performances, Westside Boogie also paid Funk Flex a visit for his iconic freestyle series, and you can rest assured that he did not disappoint.
It seems all these were the preparation for the deluxe edition of MORE BLACK SUPERHEROES, which has just been released on every streaming platform. The limited edition of the album includes six additional tracks, featuring Rapsody and Alex Isley. Three tracks are live versions of the original tracks.
Jesse Wellens, a YouTuber who signed a deal with Beverly Hills talent agency WME few years back and has previously worked with Snoop Dogg on the music video for “BadBadNotGood,” has sat down with RomanAtwoodPodcast, where the famous pranker revealed he was supposed to direct Snoop and Eminem‘s “From The D 2 The LBC” video and talked about the conversation he had with Eminem about the cancel culture.
“I was supposed to do that Eminem and Snoop video. If you saw that song, they did a record together. That one fell through though, unfortunately. I was close. I talked Eminem on phone. It was crazy. We talked about the Secret Service. He was like ‘yeah, they showed up to me too.’ I was like ‘I’m talking to Eminem. It’s crazy!’ He said some s–t and he said the Secret Service pulled up on him too.” said Jesse
Then he continues: “And then I pitched him on this idea for the video because I’m pushing the limit. I was like ‘I got Eminem now, this is going to be big.’ And I was like ‘Eminem, I want you to cancel Cancel Culture.’ And he was like ‘I’m not touching it.’ I’m like ‘F–k no.’ Then I was like ‘There is only one person who can cancel ‘Cancel Culture’ and that’s you.’ He was like ‘No, I’m not doing it.'”
“The video was so epic. I wrote the treatment. It was basically like, he was a Slim Shady character, like the Jason with a honkey mask and chainsaw he bust into like a cabin and it’s a bunch of Tiktokers and you know, people these time, vaping, TikTok dancing, ring lights. All the stereotypical s–t that everyone’s on the phone. Bust into that with a chainsaw, cuts off somebody’s arm. They are spraying blood. And all the TikTok people are like ‘ohh s–t’ and then he grabs his severed arm that’s holding his phone and starts filming himself. He’s into it cause it’s content. And then he just starting murdering TickTok people. But they are not scared of it. They all think it’s content and they all love it and they are filming it. Think of like an old school Jason horror film. That’s what I wanted to shoot. And then when eventually story progresses, they are like ‘You know, this video is going too far, cancel Eminem.’ Like, they are trying to cancel him inside the video. So it’d be very meta. But Eminem was not into it. I get it though. People are scared of the cancel culture. It’s serious. Look at the Kanye West stuff going on. ”
DaBaby has recently sat down with Math Hoffa, Mr. Mecc, Sean Bigga and Grafh on the latest episode of My Expert Opinion where Cleveland, Ohio-born rapper said there is tow type of version of him, the Baby who makes mainstream music like “Rockstar” and the Baby who raps over the beats on Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole level.
“When you hear me freestyling, you be like ‘boy, this ni–a top five’ but when you hear the music I put out, I am in a music business, these people f–k with ‘Brand new Lamborghini, f–k a cop’ but that s–t ain’t nothing. But you can put this beat on and off, I go Eminem level on that beat. You gotta go get one of them to f–k with me. You gotta get Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole. It ain’t too many. I don’t disrespect nobody but boy, raise your hand! I’m like that! N—as know it too!” said DaBaby.
Earlier this year, during the interview with Variety, DaBaby was asked about his biggest influences, to which he named the likes of Eminem, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West. “Lil Wayne. Eminem. So many people, though. Three is not enough. I was definitely a big fan of Kanye, especially early on, so I would … give 50 Cent and Kanye West a tie… I was blessed enough to be able to see a lot of different people have their era, like even like a Nelly, and Ludacris, T.I. … so many people that just had their waves.”
Last year in his interview with KXNG Crooked, Eminem also praised Baby. “DaBaby is interesting to me. I never know where his rhymes gonna land and that s–t is so interesting to me cause he does it so well.”
According to Games industry veteran Kirk Ewing, the Rockstar Games turned down the chance to launch a Grand Theft Auto movie starring Eminem, a new BBC podcast claims. Kirk, who is a friend of GTA creators Sam and Dan Houser, says a Hollywood agent came to him with the deal.
Based on the story that he told, the brothers were offered $5 million for rights to a movie starring Slim Shady by Top Gun director Tony Scott. But, Kirk tells on BBC podcast Bugzy Malone’s Grandest Game, co-founder and president of Rockstar Games Sam Houser told the agent they were “not interested.”
Released in 2001 on Playstation 2, the pioneering title laid the groundwork for the rest of the series and the imitators that would follow. In the same year, Marshall Mathers was flying high off the back of his record-breaking The Marshall Mathers LP album, which sold 1.7 million copies in its first week of release. Eminem had also just wrapped shooting on his starring role in 8 Mile – a semi-biographical battle rap movie, based on his early steps of his rap career.
‘Are you interested?’ Kirk tells the podcast he tracked Sam Houser to a hotel, where the two stayed up late to discuss the possibility of making a GTA movie. “I think at that point it was still in Sam’s mind that it might be something that he wanted to do,” Kirk says.
He says he was phoned at 04:00 by an LA producer with an offer.
Then Kirk continues: “I was phoned at 4 am by an LA producer with an offer. He said ‘Kirk we have got Eminem to star, and it’s a Tony Scott film – $5 million on the nose. Are you interested?’ And I phoned up Sam and I said ‘Listen to this. They want Eminem in the GTA movie and Tony Scott to direct’. And he said: ‘Not interested’.”
Eminem brings his Mom’s Spaghetti restaurant concept to New York as part of 20th anniversary commemoration of his iconic battle-rap movie, 8 Mile.
The Shopify retail location in New York’s SoHo district will host the Detroit-based concept on November 10, 11, 16, 17 and 18 from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. and November 12, 13, 19 and 20 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Attendees will be greeted by recreations of the 8 Mile set, limited edition and exclusive merchandise and the trademark cardboard carton of spaghetti, with or without the meatballs. Apparel honoring 8 Mile and several vinyl records will be available.
After opening as a pop-up in 2017, Mom’s Spaghetti got a permanent location in downtown Detroit in September 2021. Em’s manager Paul Rosenberg stated in a statement, “We’ve had a lot of fun putting this project together with the folks at Union Joints, and the response from fans has been overwhelmingly positive. The previous pop-ups were really a test for us to determine whether there was enthusiasm for a regularly-occurring Mom’s Spaghetti spot that would be open all year long. We are really pleased to announce the arrival of the walk-up restaurant and adjacent upstairs store, called The Trailer, where fans can experience a uniquely-curated environment and obtain merch and other items from Eminem and his new pasta operation.”
If you are not able to check the pop-up in New York, you can take a look inside in the video below:
Dr. Dre is leaving his Malibu vacation home after more than 20 years of ownership.
According to Dirt, the 57-year-old legendary producer and rapper has listed his beach house, which is close to the Pacific Coast Highway, for a stunning $20 million. Dre’s decision to sell his longtime vacation property follows a period of time during which he was unable to utilize it since his wife Nicole Young remained there throughout their acrimonious divorce, which was finally resolved in December 2021.
Dre’s home has the distinction of being situated on Carbon Beach, which has recently grown to be one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the coastal city of Malibu. The house, which was constructed in the 1990s, is referred to in the listing as a “contemporary beach estate” and is said it “exudes total luxury and sophistication.” Dre must have valued his privacy because there is only one way to get to the house from the road, and that is through a gate. The home has a first-rate security system as well.

To celebrate Eminem‘s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, SiriusXM launched an exclusive new channel called “The Marshall Mathers Station” which will be available to subscribers through April 2023 via the SXM App.
Honoring and coinciding with Eminem being named an inductee in the 37th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on November 5, 2022 at Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, The Marshall Mathers Station features Slim Shady’s entire musical catalog 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The channel also highlights songs from Eminem’s iconic movies 8 Mile and Southpaw. It also includes songs from D12 and Bad Meets Evil.
While surfing in the net, fans spotted a nine second video ad of the new radio channel on social media, which features never before heard instrumental that sounds very much like Dr. Dre’s production. It is yet unclear, weather it’s from a new song or a cut that was just made for the promotion.

ATL Jacob has recently sat down with VLAD TV, where he talked about giving Eminem and Future the same beat. Future used the instrumental on his 2019 album “The Wizrd” on a song called “Talk S–t Like A Preacher” and Eminem on 2020’s “Music To Be Murdered By” song titled “Book Of Rhymes,” featuring DJ Premier.
“The song ‘Talk S–t Like A Preacher’ by Future, that’s the same beat as Eminem’s ‘Book Of Rhymes.’ I gave the beat to Future. Future was not feeling it. I thought he wasn’t, so Eminem randomly called me like, randomly, I didn’t even know he’d get my number. I sent him that beat. Dre was like ‘bro, Eminem loved this beat. We ready to sing it off as soon as possible.’ Em was willing to give me $30,000 for it. I was getting $10,000 from Future. So I was like, ‘cool, let’s set it up.'” – said ATL Jacob
Then he continues: “Then probably a week later, Future told me we gonna put this beat on the album. He let me hear it. I’m like ‘bro Eminem wants to use this.’ So it was like a choice between give it to Eminem for $30k or give it to brother Future for $10k. It was just loyalty so I gave it to Future. I let Eminem know like ‘Man, I didn’t eve know Future used that beat, he loved it and it’s going to be on his album. So we ended up still working it out even though Future dropped it.”
“It’s crazy cause Em is one of my favorite rappers. He’s hard… I though it was cap when they first called me, like someone pretending to be Eminem. Then I thought Travis Scott interview where he was like ‘T.I. just randomly called his number’ and they I thought s–t it ‘s probably real Eminem and might be one of those situations.” ATL added.
Hailie has released the latest episode called “Back To Reality” off her Just A Little Shady podcast and it’s mainly about Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony, where Eminem was accompanied by her.
In the description in the video, Hailie writes: “Being thankful to live in Michigan- even after a surreal weekend in LA attending the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, putting our friendship to the test in Selena Gomez fashion after recapping the drama brought on by her new documentary, acknowledging the positive side of keeping relationships off the internet, and transitioning from our listeners’ seasonal spooky stories back to getting Just A Little Shady.”
The episode starts with the funny stories she went through during the ceremony night: “Getting to be there was definitely an experience I will never forget. There are some things that I will share but then there are somethings that I just love and cherish and will keep close to my heart and not share with you. But I have some funny stories that I have to share. And they are all about me.” said Hailie.
Then she continues: “It’s truly a wild west down there because I had some run-ins with experiences I’ve never experienced before so I’m happy to be home. [laughs]. I went out to eat and I’m used to living the benefits of living in good old Michigan and it would be weird to see a paparazzi, it would be weird to see a celebrity. I’m just not used to that. So I got to eat and a girl comes running over and she’s like, ‘hi, Hailie,’ and I’m like ‘oh my god, maybe somebody that listens to my podcast.’ Well, you wish! All of a sudden, out of nowhere, she pulls out camcorder bigger than her. I look same dead in the eyes because I don’t know what else to do. And I was like a deer in the headlights. I’m saying nothing. No words are coming out. Then I continue walking and a guy pops out nowhere and he’s taking pictures. All I could hear was voice in my head ‘PIVOT, PIVOT.’ So I quickly pivot. Somehow in that time when I pivot the guy gets around me the other side of me. We go back and forth so many times the guy’s laughing. And I’m like ‘Wow, I hope nobody ever see this and I hope it’s not on the video because I could have just acted normal. That has neve happened to me before.”
“And then, on the actual ceremony, while my dad was giving a speech, they wanted to film the audience reaction, they wanted to film my reaction. I’ve never been in such situation, having camera to film my reaction. They bring a knee pad for this guy, cause that guy was kneeling there for that long, and as soon as they throw the pad down for him to kneel on I’m like ‘wow, he’s gonna be there for that long?!’ And I start panicking in my head and I was trying to focus on the speech. But the camera was this close to me. And it was little lower angle because the guy was kneeling and all I could think was ‘oh my god, do I have a booger?!’ I’m like ‘don’t make any sudden movements.’ I was barely blinking.” said Hailie.
