Nasaan reveals he was jealous of Eminem & Cordae relationship

Detroit rapper Nasaan, who is a song of Big Proof and is now mentored by Royce 5’9″, has just revealed the reason he has been dissing Cordae for 3 years which is directly related to the relationship with Eminem.

“Should I rant? think I’ma rant. I apologize to the Cordae fellow. I’m growing and realize I started trolling you out of envy. Was gonna put all this in a song but rhyming s–t with your name is difficult n-gga! He was getting the love from Marshall that I had always wanted but unfortunately just never got. I felt like I was a way more talented rapper sitting in front of his face yet he chose him to champion (granted I was 19). But I never quite understood it. I’m older and more mature now so I internalize all this a lot differently now.” said Nasaan.

Then he continued: “Since a teenager I kind of just wanted to make Em and his team proud and build this uncle like bond with them where I can, come around, ask for advice wherever need be, etc. and it just never got to that point and in retrospect I guess that frustrated me and made me jealous. Okay so why all this? lol. To be honest, I feel like I owe dude an apology. I trolled the s–t out of him 3 years straight, haha. And as far as Marshall, I just don’t feel comfortable lying in interviews anymore its bothering me at this point.”

“Yes there is no relationship [with Eminem]. I have none with him. but who cares he doesn’t owe me that, he was my fathers friend not MINE. He took care of my family financially for years! Off GP. He’s great in my book! I’m 26 now. I accepted I’ll never get the relationship I wanted with him… The distant love we have for one another is more than enough for me. Thank you for everything Marshall and sorry again Cordae. Love you guys.” Nasaan added.

Royce 5’9″ urges Eminem again to another Bad Meets Evil project

Nasaan and Royce 5’9″ have recently sat down with Way Up With Angela Yee where they talked about Nasaan’s upcoming album Error 404 that’s releasing on April 25, 2024, featuring BabyTron, Royce 5’9″, Icewear Vezzo and more. They also talked sobriety, Cordae, Eminem, Paul Rosenberg, Obie Trice, Big Proof, their biggest mistakes and much more.

Nasaan & Royce 5’9″ on Cordae
Nasaan: I don’t even have a problem with the dude. I actually like him as a person. I picked on him a few years ago and then my fans just loved it. It’s like an inside joke. That’s messed up. That’s mean. I probably gonna stop. So, shout out to Cordae though. It’s rooted in competition. It’s not like a personal beef.
Royce 5’9″: I love Cordae. He is so emotionally intelligent. That’s why I didn’t think anything of it. And you know how the rappers are when they are young. I was the same way. I was doing more than ripping pictures.

Royce 5’9″ on DJ Premier and Eminem
Me and Preem working on, it’s a joint thing we do together called PRhyme, so we working on third installment right now. As far as me and Marshall, all he has to do is sent me a text message and I’m to the studio whenever he’s ready. We pretty much do that on his time. And he’s always on some type of time. He’s always on some sort of mission. I don’t know what he’s doing right now but I know he’s recording a lot of stuff.

Nasaan on Paul Rosenberg
When Paul discovered me I was somebody who was just really good at rapping. I didn’t have myself figured out. Now I understand more who I am, not only as an artist but as a person. There is more to steer and guide now. Paul is helping and plying a part and it’s easier for him to understand who he’s working with. He’s a big homie. He’s always in my corner.

Royce 5’9″ on Obie Trice 
I have not spoken to Obie Trice in a while. I bumped into him couple of times but it was an environment where we could really like kick it but I’ve heard some things. I’ve got that feeling [to reach out and talk] couple of times watching him. That’s a slipper uphill slope. I don’t wanna step on toes or say anything that’s gonna offend anybody. I know, how us as addicts, we get defensive when people come at us in any kind of way about our problems. If ever the opportunity for me to speak to him, if he ever feels the need to speak to somebody I’m certainly somebody he can definitely reach out to. I’m always available for that. That’s like a big thing to me too as well. Just not only being sober but taking the steps through my sobriety helping other people. It’s so tough to do because you don’t wanna seem like one of those people who got sober and now you coming from a place of judgement.

Cordae talks Eminem influencing him musically

During Spout Podcast, Cordae tells the story of his unique collaboration approach, revealing that he’s never paid for a feature, not even from the biggest names like Eminem and Lil Wayne! And he takes you inside his literal ‘Dre. Day’ as he tells the story of visiting Dr. Dre’s house.

“I remember when I was at Dr. Dre house a couple of years ago. I had to use bathroom real quick, literally had to just thank god. It’s the same with Eminem. I think I posted a couple of month ago, I was like, ‘yo, I really got a song with Eminem.'” said Cordae.

Then he continued: “Ten years old me, having an iPod. Even before the iPad days, before I even had an iPod, it was MP3 where you downloaded off LimeWire to your computer, listening to The Marshall Mathers LP, The Slim Shady LP, Infinite album and was just listening to him and now I got Eminem on a song and he gassed on it. I got a platinum song with him! Dawg, it’s a blessing. I got a platinum song produced by J. Cole. Crazy! God is good man. I take no credit for it.”

Later in the interview, Cordae listen an artist that influenced him as a musician: “Just my personal people that influenced me the most musically are Kanye West, Jay-Z, Nas, Eminem and J. Cole. Also Big L. He’s rhyme skills are ridiculous. Oh and Kendrick Lamar. That’s like The 7 and then you throw in the eight like Stevie Wonder and Usher. Usher has a huge influence on me.”

Eminem & Paul Rosenberg to make animated cameo in Juice WRLD & Cordae’s new “Role Model” sampled single

Cole Bennett and Lyrical Lemonade preparing their first ever compilations album LL1*. It is yet unknown when the album will be released but the first single “Doomsday” by Juice WRLD and Cordae will be dropped this Friday (June 23, 2023).

“Doomsday” by Juice WRLD and Cordae samples Eminem‘s iconic single “Role Model” produced by Dr. Dre and Mel-Man, from his 1999 classic album, The Slim Shady LP. According to the cover of the single, Eminem and Paul Rosenberg will make an animated cameo in the music video of the single.

Last year, Cole Bennett talked about the album during the interview with Our Generation Music: “You know, obviously like the Lyrical Lemonade album has always been in discussion for you know, since things really popped off. It was always like it would be really cool if there was a Lyrical Lemonade album, you know. That was just built out with a lot of like, you know, it’s a compilation album with a lot of the artists that we work with and just creating different vibes and bringing different worlds together, but I never wanted to do it, because… man, man I really hated labels really really bad for a long time. Just because it just rubbed me the wrong way. Now, I’m learning to just appreciate it more. I think I just matured, you know what I mean? Because I was so DIY, like anti-industry and I just never wanted to do it, the timing was wrong.” he said.

Then he continued: “But I think its because it was when all the labels wanted to do these joint ventures and have Lyrical Lemonade to be a sub label and I never wanted to do that. I didn’t know what I was doing and I never go into anything if I’m not fully knowledge on the situation. I’m not a numbers guy either. I don’t wanna be tied into contracts with anyone. I do this because I love it. This is my passion. So, to see people operate solely off just finances and things of that nature, not to get into it too much, I feel like I was getting pulled in by some s–t that I didn’t want. The album being mentioned right around that time, after all of these labels trying to do all these things, I was like all of that type of stuff I was iffy about it and I just knew that the time wasn’t right, you know? I’m big on timing with everything, if I feel even the tiniest gut feeling in the opposite direction, I follow it.”

“Recently, because now I’m ready to take things to the next level, I’m ready to start working on movies and start building Lyrical Lemonade into different worlds. I got some crazy ideas. My imagination, my drive is in a better spot than it’s ever been. This is a unturned stone, like this is something that had to be done. It’s a Lyrical Lemonade album and I know that now with my experience and a lot of the relationships I’ve built, I think I could really do something cool. Bring people together and just make different sounds that maybe wouldn’t get made otherwise and getting more involved with records and that executive producer role, in terms of helping, construct, and layer songs. It’s exciting for me. I want to be in the studio, bringing people together and just building records, so I think this would be really cool.” Cole Bennett added.

Few snippets of the song “Doomsday” by Juice WRLD and Cordae has already been leaked. You can check it out in the video below:

Eminem barely recognizes Bobby Shmurda & Cordae backstage at ApeFest 2022

Cordae shows love to Eminem for “Parables” remix

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.

Cordae says he almost put Eminem and Lil Wayne on the same song

Cordae has recently sat down with Ebro Darden to unpack his album ‘From a Birds Eye View,’ where he talked about Eminem and Lil Wayne collaborations on the album.

“When I made ‘Parables,’ song I knew Eminem’s vocal tone would sound good on that because the beat is like that airy vibe on some Slim Shady, Marshall Mathers LP sort of vibe. So I knew his vocal tone would thrive on that.” – said Cordae

“With ‘Sinister,’ with Lil Wayne, that really wasn’t even going to be an album cut, but Wayne accented that, he brought that record up, honestly. So I just want to make the best music possible, versus like, ‘Okay, I got Em on this, let me redo my verse, let me redo this verse because I got Wayne on it.’” – Cordae added.

He continues: “Funny enough, I was going to put Eminem on ‘Sinister’ as well. It was going to be Wayne and Eminem all on ‘Sinister.’ Just for all the Hollywood glitz and glam, it would have been cool because it is Wayne and Em on the same track. I know how Drake did it on ‘Forever,’ and I was just like, ‘Yo, that is just a flex move of putting Wayne and Em on the same record.’ Nobody has done this since Drake did it on ‘Forever.’ I am kind of just showing my muscle. But it would not have been the proper record, if that makes sense.”

Cordae says Eminem asked him to redo his verse & be more lyrical on “Killer (Remix)”

Cordae has recently set down with Bootleg Kev to promote his latest album “From A Birds Eye View.” The two also took a deeper dive in the into and interlude tracks of his new project and how personal this piece of art really hit at home.

At one point during the interview, Cordae was asked about working process with Eminem:

“We had two hours conversation about life and hip-hop. He has always been showing me genuine love and support very early on and I appreciate all love and public support I get because I’m not signed to him, so he does not have to do that. I don’t feel entitled for anybody to show me any type of love so any genuine love and support I get publicly, I really appreciate that.”

“You know, I did my first verse for ‘Killer (Remix).’ I sent it over to Em and I did it more like Andre 3000, E-40 type of flow and then Eminem called and told me ‘Yo, I wanted you to be more lyrical. Do some rap-rap s**t on it. I’m like ‘alright cool, whatever’ so he had me redo my verse because at first I thought this record was not for rap-rap, it’s more like a vibe sort of thing and that’s why I gave that verse but he was like ‘I want you to attack it’ and I’m like ‘alright, cool, lets try that.’ And if Eminem asks you to redo the verse, you redo for sure.” – said Cordae.

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.

“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.”
