Photographer and Creative Director, Shareif, who has taken some of the legendary shots in his career, shared the never before released pictures of Eminem, 50 Cent, Ca$his and the rest of the G-Unit (Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo) from the interview and the performance they did on 106 & Park in 2006.
During the interview, the Shady Records members talked about The Re-Up album, Jay-Z’s influence, collaborating with Akon and performed “You Don’t Know” on stage.
You can check the unearthed pictures and the interview and the performance below:
Tony Yayo and Uncle Murda have recently sat down with Math Hoffa on the latest episode of My Expert Opinion where they talked about many topics, including Eminem and 50 Cent.
“Let’s stop b**ching in this industry. Ni**as are hoes. I’m tired of this s**t. You know ni**as are supposed to be respectful of who turned the lights on. Who did Em put on?! G-Unit, D12, Slaughterhouse, Joe Budden’s in them and Griselda. C’mon ni**a. Ni**as mad at white boy because he’s a black honkey player. C’mon ni**a! ‘Yo, HiS mUsIc DoN’t PlAy In ThE cLuB’ and that ain’t make him a GOAT? What happened to bars ni**a?!” said Yayo.
“I f**k with Eminem since “Renegade” and that ni**a put me on. He got respect from the hood since “Renegade.” Why do ni**as hate Eminem? Because he’s WHITE…At the end of the day, nobody in my hood, in my family, wore FREE YAYO shirt at the Grammys and looked out for me ni**a!” Yayo added.
Earlier in the interview, the G-Unit member told The Game in front of the camera to apologize to people who gave him the opportunities in his career and try to benefit from it: “Yo Game, apologize Fifty and Eminem. Yo, Buck apologize to Fifty. Banks you know what it is and we can go get this money. Let’s get couple of millions.”
Bobby Shmurda has recently sat down with HipHopDX where he walked through his career, lessons learned, dances to Burna Boy song, shows love and hilariously raps Eminem’s “The Real Slim Shady”, talked about the advices from Diddy and 50 Cent and much more.
“I talked to 50 Cent last month. I love Fifty. I was on the phone for like an hour. Fif got lot of game. I also met first time Eminem in my life [at the 2022 Apefest event in New York City]. Growing up, listening to Fifty, you grow up listening to Eminem too. [Then starts mumbling “The Real Slim Shady”]. I’m just vibing.” said Bobby
On June 24, a clip surfaced online of Eminem performing with Snoop Dogg at the 2022 Apefest event in New York City. The two rap icons performed their collaborative single, “From the D 2 the LBC” from Curtain Call 2 album. After their performance, Em walked backstage and bumped into Cordae, who he instantly recognized and dapped up and hugged. Laying in the cut with Cordae was Bobby Shmurda, and his interaction with Em was slightly different but comical.
You can watch the new interview and the Slim Shady and Shmurda interaction video after the jump below:
In the piece, Em explained that drugs really only became a part of his life after the release of his 1999 album, The Slim Shady LP. He and his friends would make regular trips from Los Angeles to Tijuana, Mexico to buy pills like Vicodin, and the rapper recalled one instance where customs officers threw one guy “on the ground and start[ed] pulling pills out his pockets and shit.”
As his fame increased, and drugs became more plentiful — especially when he went on tour — Eminem said he started to realize he was battling addiction, but still managed to “keep it on the low and keep it together” as much as possible. Things really got bad in between 2000’s The Marshall Mathers LP and 2002’s The Eminem Show, when he was taking a mix of Vicodin, Valium, and alcohol. At one point, he even added the sleep aid Ambien, noting, “I would take a little to perform, which you would think doesn’t make sense, but Ambien is a mind eraser. So, if you don’t go to sleep on it, you get in this weird comatose state.”
50 Cent has responded to Eminem’s latest photoshoot with love and appreciation message on social media: “This my favorite white boy, I swear to God I love him to death.” You can check the post below:
Fredwreck also responded to the event, giving Eminem a nod on Twitter:
Eminem and 50 Cent are back with the animated video of recently released single, titled “Is This Love,” from Eminem’s greatest hits album, Curtain Call 2.
“Is This Love” is an unreleased song from 2009, most likely recorded for Relapse 2 but kept in the vault. This track is one of two recorded by the duo Eminem and 50 Cent in 2009, with the other, “Psycho”, being put on 50’s album called “Before I Self Destruct.” The song contains re-recorded vocals by both artists.
Eminem has just dropped the visualizer for the song which shows tiny animated men with the classic slim shady blonde hair, causing mayhem in the city. Some of them are running after people with chainsaws, while others have rocket launchers.

Eminem has recently released his second installment of the greatest hits album, Curtain Call 2 and it includes 2009 unreleased track song “Is This Love” with 50 Cent which was re-recorded for its release. The song is produced by Dr. Dre, Trevor Lawrence Jr., Mark Batson and Eminem himself.
Eminem and 50 Cent have made numerous tracks together and it seems the legendary duo still have some other songs in the vault. “We still got few more in the Vault” tweeted Fifty yesterday.
To our knowledge, There exists a song called “Champions” in Fiddy’s vault, which was supposed to be in the mystical Street King Immortal album.
“We actually recorded ‘Champions’ in Detroit. When Em heard it, he instantly thought this is for me and Fifty. He wrote his verse, it came in, I played it and I was like ‘Okay this is cool, let me think how I want to approach the record.’ He made some mentions and I didn’t want to make same mentions. Some of the people that he respects in music and I did not wanna repeat that.” – previously said 50 Cent in an interview with Fuse TV.
Eminem’s “Is This Love” song with 50 Cent produced by Dr. Dre, Trevor Lawrence Jr. and Mark Batson, is an unreleased song from 2009, most likely recorded for Relapse: Refill or Relapse 2, yet was kept in the vault due to the negative reviews from critics. This track is one of two recorded by the duo in 2009, with the other, “Psycho”, being put on 50’s Before I Self Destruct.
Like “Jimmy, Brian and Mike,” the track contains re-recorded vocals by both Eminem and 50 Cent and it is included in the greatest hits album “Curtain Call 2” which drops tomorrow, worldwide.
The song is already out in New Zealand and Australia. For the international release, there are still 15 hours remaining but Kiwis and Aussies are already able to listen to the song on Apple Music.
Queens native and former G-Unit member Bang Em Smurf has has recently talked about a time when he and Eminem almost went into a gunfight against Suge Knight.
In an interview with 9 Side Entertainment he said once, while recording the music video with 50 Cent’s “In The Club” single, the Death Row founder pulled up and was ready to go.
According to Smurf, he was getting a haircut on the opposite side from where the crew was when Sha Money XL told him that Suge Knight had arrived on the set with some goons.
“I had to shake that off me and ran back like ‘I’m about to kill this ni**aa,” So I ran inside and said, ‘Yo, Suge outside. What you want me to do? Blow his head off?” said Smurf.
“I know if I killed him I would have been like five years. That’s nothing, and I would have been played like I was scared for my life.”
However, 50 Cent told him to hold it down. Then Bang Em Smurf returned to where Suge Knight was, and he said to him, “What’s popping?” And guess what? Eminem accompanied him with his bulletproof vest on.
“Eminem came back with the vest. Eminem was outside. Shout out to Eminem. Dre was not outside, 50 Cent was not outside but Em was outside. Shout out to Eminem, I love that ni**a. He gave us our first deal. Proof is my man. Rest in peace to Proof.” Smurf added.
“Curtain Call 2” symbolized as CC2, is the follow-up to Eminem’s 2005 greatest hits album “Curtain Call: The Hits” which includes three new tracks: “From The D 2 The LBC” with Snoop Dogg and Elvis movie soundtrack “The King And I,” with CeeLo Green and as it turns out “Is This Love (’09),” featuring 50 Cent. The rest of the album is compiled with hits from 2009 to this day.
Couple of days ago, Grammy and Emmy winning Aftermath producer Trevor Lawrence Jr. has revealed that new Eminem track which also involves Dr. Dre, is dropping next week. B y connecting two facts, “This Is Love” is produced by Dr. Dre and features 50 Cent.
The name of the song was unveiled by Target store. A pre-order for the 2LP vinyl has appeared on the store’s site with the official artwork which has a sticker revealing the title of the song ‘Is This Love’ (09′) featuring none other than former Shady/Aftermath hitmaker 50 Cent.
The song is probably from 2009, as the title suggests so we are getting Relapse era Eminem and 50 Cent this or the next Friday! Check the screenshot of the sticker below and visit here for the full tracklist of “Curtain Call 2.”
