Paak and Shady Records’ Westside Boogie, is a song from the soundtracks for the 2017, Eminem-produced American battle rap comedy-drama film, Bodied, that was released in US theatres on November 2, 2018. The film has also been released on the video streaming service YouTube Premium on November 28.
Back in 2018, Paak talked about the track: “That track was hard. It was, like, a dance track. Uhm, I don’t know what they’re gonna do with it, hopefully use it. It’s a funky tune, man. What’s his name is on there, Boogie.
The snippet of the song was featured in the movie but full track has never seen the light of until today. The song has just surfaced online. You can bump it below.

Snoop Dogg has recently sat down with DJ Whoo Kid to promote his new album “Missionary” with Dr. Dre. At one point of the interview, the West Coast legend talked about “Gunz N Smoke” song, which is on his new album and features 50 Cent and Eminem.
“Getting them [50 Cent and Eminem] on a record meant a lot. I wanted him and Eminem on. And Dre wanted them on. It was the first that that everyone agreed that was the perfect song everybody to get on. Let’s get it done. And 50 went first. He knocked his s–t out first which made it hard for me because I had to come behind him. And then Eminem. He always just kills s–t. He don’t give a f–k who’s before him. You just better not go after him.”
“When I rap with Eminem. I know I gotta be the f–k way up cause this ni–a ain’t playing. He makes you go hard. He’s the type of ni–a that when you finish the song he gon’ go back and change and do four more bars. I was like ‘n-gga you cheating man.’ Why you get four more bars? You motherf–ker you already cut my head off and now you going with four more bars? Goddamn it Marshall, you bad mothef–ker. I’m glad you on my team.”
DJ Whoo Kid also revealed that he has an Eminem interview coming. You can watch Snoop’s interview below:
During a recent interview on The Breakfast Club with Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne tha God and DJ Envy, television personality and recurring cast member of the hit Bravo show, “Real Housewives of Potomac,” Gizelle Bryant talked about her legal battle against Eminem‘s team to trademark the term “Reasonably Shady” for their merchandise line.
“You all know a guy named Paul Rosenberg? We deposed him. It’s almost over. The opposition was, Eminem’s team had me and Robin deposed, so all is fair in love and war, we going to depose Eminem. So, when our side said ‘okay, we need to depose him’ all hell broke loose. They were like ‘oh no, no, never, he does not even know anything about this.’ Well, if he does not know anything about this, why are we here? but that’s a lie. You had to have told him something. So, because of that I think they have decided ‘okay these girls aren’t going away’ and Patent and Trade is gonna settle it. We are at the end of the road. All depositions have been done, all disclosures and yes we have spent a lot of money.” said Gizelle Bryant.
She then continued: “You don’t own the word SHADY. There have been other small companies that have had SHADY in their name and they paid them off to go away. But we are not going to do that or unless y’all didn’t offer us something that could make us go away but we are too far in now. And I don’t even get why would you be doing this to us. Thank God we had money but let’s just say we didn’t and we are just two black women out here to make a dollar out of 50 cents.”
The drama began last year when reality stars Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon attempted to trademark the term “Reasonably Shady” for their merchandise line. Eminem’s team, however, argued that their use of “Shady” would infringe upon his own established brand, built over decades with trademarks like “Slim Shady,” “Shady,” and “Shady Limited.” While Bryant and Dixon denied any association with Eminem’s brand, they pushed for a deposition with Eminem himself. But Em’s legal team was not playing those games. They argued that his extensive cooperation, including handing over 2,500 pages of documents, was sufficient, per In Touch. The United States Patent and Trademark Office Board ultimately sided with Eminem. The need for Bryant and Dixon to gather information was acknowledged but it was also determined that deposing Eminem’s manager, Paul Rosenberg, would be more productive.
The board pointed out that “Mr. Rosenberg, not [Eminem], provided the declaration supporting the motion.” This decision is a major win for Eminem. It protects his brand and avoids the potential for a public spectacle had he been forced to appear in person. While the case is ongoing, Eminem has successfully defended his trademark turf for now. You can watch the new interview below:
Snoop Dogg has just released his Missionary album under Death Row Records, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records! Production is entirely handled by the one and only Dr. Dre and Snoop himself.

Eminem and 50 Cent are featured on a song titled “Gunz N Smoke” which is co-produced by C.S. Armstrong. In the song Eminem once again brings forth his “rap persona,” Slim Shady, to contrast his rebellious, unrestrained alter ego with his more mature and composed self by showing how Slim Shady would act in similar circumstances: “Comin’ up? So like that syrup, they canceled / I’ma say, “F–k you and your momma,” then blame my rap persona…F–k around and buck these h-es, ain’t talkin’ no luxury clothes / Two nines I tuck, see those? Like Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, try and duck deez, yo / Hey, what the f–k you want? Didn’t I just see you yesterday? F–k outta here, f–k it, b–ch.” Em raps.
Furthermore, Em’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022 stands as one of his most significant and prestigious accomplishments as a rapper…You can stream the song below:

50 Cent also briefly spoke about “8 Mile” TV show about Eminem, that he announced couple of years ago: “Yeah, we are working on the television. It’s going pretty good. It gets difficult at points because they are so used to having entire control of projects. When you gotta deal with networks and other forces involved, you get little, you know…” Fif said.
“I got a few things [about new music]. I got a piece coming out with Snoop and Em on Snoop’s new album. It’s dope dope!” – 50 Cent added. You can watch the interview below:

Last month, The Sun Magazine reported that Eminem filmed a secret cameo for Adam Sandler ’s upcoming comedy movie “Happy Gilmore 2” and impressed the cast with his “great comedic acting skills.” It turns out, the insider was not messing around.
During an interview with Dan Patrick Show, Adam Sandler confirmed that Eminem is really going to be in the movie. “Eminem was cool. He came by and he was great! I can’t tell you [how we reached out to Eminem and what role he has in the movie] but I’ve known Eminem for a long time, he’s a great guy and his cameo was funny as hell. We just hang out a day with Eminem, he was insane, he said a million things we can use and we are glad we had him on tape.” he said.
It’s actually an onscreen reunion of sorts for Eminem and Adam Sandler, who appeared together in the 2009 film, titled Funny People. Meanwhile, Eminem is far from the only major star to have appeared in the sequel to the iconic 1996 golf comedy as Travis Kelce and maybe Taylor Swift are also rumored to appear. The movie is expected to be released on Netflix sometime in 2025.
Detroit rapper Latto may be one of the biggest stars of the rap and hip-hop world, but that hasn’t stopped her from worrying about what Eminem thinks of her.
While sitting down with Jennifer Hudson during a Dec. 4 appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, Latto, 25, opened up about a run-in she had with the 52-year-old rapper, revealing it didn’t quite go as expected.
When Hudson, 43, asked the Rhythm + Flow judge what it was like having Eminem as a guest judge on season 2 of the Netflix music competition, Latto said she was “so gagged.”
“I was like, ‘Oh, I bombed that. He thinks I’m weird because I just was like, ahh. I didn’t know what to say, so I was like, ‘Gah, thank you!’ ” she said, referring to Eminem revealing he’s a fan of her music during his appearance on the series, which aired its season 2 finale and announced the winner of a $250,000 cash prize on Wednesday.
She added, “My daddy listened to Eminem so much growing up, that’s, like, probably his favorite rapper. So, it was just like, ‘Oh, don’t lie to me. For real?’ And he was like, ‘Yeah.’ And then I asked for a picture later, and he was like, ‘Yeah.’ He probably thinks I’m a little awkward.”
One way to score a massive album this year was to put your title in all caps or no caps. Genius’ list of the Top 10 albums of 2024 as determined by the pageviews of their platform contains eight LPs whose titles employ such unorthodox approaches to capitalization. It’s like the only way to get people’s attention anymore is to shout or whisper.
It’s not even remotely surprising which artist led the way this year. Taylor Swift has been the most famous person on the planet for about a decade, and since the launch of her Eras Tour in 2023, she’s somehow become even bigger and more beloved. If she was enjoying an imperial phase before, now she’s now something like a benevolent global overlord. Just look at the last 12 months. In February, she won the Super Bowl, and then on April 19, she dropped THE TORTURED POETS’ DEPARTMENT, an album that ballooned to 31 tracks due to the day-of surprise-release of an anthology edition. It was a feast, and Swifties were very ready to dig in.
Eminem holds the second place. Labeled as one of the biggest comebacks in recent years, The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace) debuted at No. 1 on Billboard 200, making Eminem his 11th album to top the chart, tying him with Barbra Streisand, Kanye West, and Bruce Springsteen for the fifth highest number of albums to reach the summit. It also earned Em 8th nomination at the Grammy Awards for Best Rap Album, after winning six of them.

Hip-hop’s hidden architect finally tells his story. Matt and Stak sat down with The D.O.C. on ALL THE SMOKE podcast to discuss his journey through West Coast hip-hop’s most notable period. From his near-fatal car accident that changed his voice forever to navigating the complex dynamics of NWA, Suge Knight, and Death Row, D.O.C. reveals never-before-shared stories about his relationships with Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Eazy-E. He opens up about his connection with Erykah Badu and teases upcoming projects. His voice might have changed, but the words D.O.C. drops in this episode are as powerful as any you’ll hear.
“It was during one of our break when Dre found Eminem. He started working on “2001” record. He reached out to me and said ‘I need your help.’ Usually if Dre calls, I’m just gon’ jump on the bird. And when I went there, he said I want you to hear something and he played this song called ‘I Just Don’t Give A F–k.’ And I was like, ‘wow, this motherf–ker’s off the chain. He reminds me of the early records we were making because his subject matter is so throwed off.” said The D.O.C.
Then he continued: “He said, let me show you picture of him. And he looked more like an actor. Who is this white boy? He said ‘that’s him.’ I was like ‘wow, that motherf–ker’s off the chain. I’m the purest in the form, I just like dope s–t. I wouldn’t give a f–k who you are, if you were red, black, green, purple or orange. If you dope, and if you not dope, I don’t give a f–k. Eminem is one of the greats in this music and you can’t take that away from him.”
