Treach agrees on what Eminem rapped about Drake on “Zeus”

Legendary rapper Treach from legendary hip-hop group Naughty by Nature, has recently set down with Sway In The Morning for an interview. At one point, Treach was asked what he thinks about Eminem’s longevity reference on “Zeus” where he namedrops Drake.

“Of Course I can relate what Eminem said, you know what the thing is, a lot of artists did not understand that. We didn’t understand. When you come out there and you think like this is forever. Like I am going to keep making these records. I am going to keep getting these radio plays. I am going to keep shooting these videos. Keep boom boom boom. One thing that is definite in the game that we have seen is if you on your dean is torment until the pandemic comes. You got to realize you are looking at a decade if you are blessed. A decade before you considered old school and the new doors opening up for the younger artists coming out. Because Hip-Hop has always been a new artist game.” says Treach.

Eminem issues warning to Drake on a new song “Zeus”

On Side B of his album Music to Be Murdered By (Deluxe Edition), Eminem offers some advice to current king of Hip-Hop charts: Drake. The Rap God warns the beloved Toronto rapper that while he may be on top now, that could change.

In the song Eminem raps:

I’ve had a great view to see the (See the) game through (Through)
And, Drake, they’re gonna turn on you (You) one day too (Too)
And the more you win, the sooner (Sooner) they do
They’ll be calling you a trash bin
Sayin’ that your new one isn’t better than your last and
Even if it is, once they start to turn their backs
They ain’t never comin’ back in
They did it to Chance
Next they’ll be mentionin’ Future in the past tense (Yeah)
Or sayin’ “Adiós” to Migos
I ain’t dissin’, I’m just tryna keep this s**t a C-note

Drake himself was feeling the process has already started. In his 2018 song “God’s Plan” he raps:

And still, bad things
It’s a lot of bad things
That they wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’ and wishin’
They wishin’ on me
