Justin Bieber has recently hit DJ Khaled at his podcast on Amazon Music where the pop megastar from Canada was asked to name his top five emcees of all time. Here is what Justin replied:

“When you open this conversation there is always room for ‘ahh I can’t believe this’ but I would say Lil Wayne, I would say Biggie. I just watched his documentary and I was like ‘oh my goodness.’ I will say Eminem, Kanye West and Drizzy Drake.”

When Justin mentioned Eminem, DJ Khaled commented: “For sure, for sure. That’s another big one. Shout out to Eminem.”

Today, 18 years ago, Eminem became first rapper ever to win an Oscar

On this day, exactly 18 years ago (March 23, 2003), Eminem became the first rapper in history to win an Academy Award. Slim Shady won an Oscar for Best Original song in 8 Mile movie for “Lose Yourself” but he was not present to accept the award.

Eminem later on explained why he didn’t attend the ceremony: “Actually, I was sleeping that night. I just felt like I had no chance of winning because, you know, when I heard I was nominated, I thought that was for actors… I was not sure what exactly Grammy or Oscar meant, what a certain award meant, I was not sure what they meant, so even MTV awards, all that stuff, I just didn’t know what awards meant and this particular award…I didn’t go to the show… I just felt like I had a snowballs chance of…I think I got it confused when they said about Oscar. They were talking about the song but I was like ‘ye but isn’t there other movies that got rock songs and stuff like that’ ? At that point, in my life I always thought like rap never gets as fair shake on anything. That was one of the reasons I didn’t go for the first Grammys I was invited to, because I pretty much protested it. I didn’t understand why there was a rap category and best album category and I couldn’t understand why rap album can not be in the best album category.”

Watch it below:

There are only three hip-hop acts in history who have won an Oscar: Eminem for “Lose Yourself” (2003), Three-6 Mafia for “It’s Hard Out Here For A Pimp” (2006) and Common for “Glory,” featuring John Legend (2015).

Big Naz remembers the time when Eminem & him were flashing guns at each other

Eminem’s former bodyguard Big Naz adds one more story to his crazy moments spent with Eminem back in the days.

“Once Eminem and his team canceled checks for me cause I was going to quit if they would not pay me properly. I had to pay $6000 to the bank. I went apeshit. I went all the way Detroit. You don’t play with my money. You don’t play with my family. I called Eminem and he was explaining something. I said ‘don’t talk to me like that cause you are talking to somebody who knows everything about you. I know where you at all times a day, what you do, who you thinking about, who you going to see. I know everything that you do, so please don’t do that man.'”

“We had a big fallen out. Then I called Paul and I left a message to Paul and this is where I messed up. I said ‘if I don’t get my money back on my account we have a problem. You all got my wife fired [she was working at the bank at that time], you all pull the money that I already earned and now you all put me in a tight! I need that f**kin’ money or some s**t gon’ down.’ Paul takes the voicemail and sends it to to his attorney and attorney sends it to state police. The state police file a PPO. By this time, I’m driving to the Em’s house. I get there. There are Em and Kim. I knock on the door. Em was not there. Kim answered the door and whole house was in panic. ‘Oh my god, Naz is here to kill us all.’ I did go there with bulletproof vest on, heavy artillery. I was hoping to talk but I was prepared for war.”

“So Kim opened the door with holding Hailie. I said I don’t wanna problem. I’m here to see Em. I just want my money. She said Em’s not here and ask me to leave. As I turned to walk away Em’s is pulling up the street in high speed. I’m walking down the stairs. I’m showing my hands and I said I need to talk to you. He jumps out the trump and pulls out the gun that I took to get registered. He’s brandishing at me. But what he don’t know I got my 40 cow in my coat pocket. I got bulletproof vest on. I got two extra magazines. I said we need to talk. He was like ‘f**k that, get off my property. We went back and forth. He said that ain’t loyalty and I said I was more loyal than he thought. I said I loved you like a brother. And when I went to my car, he said ‘that ain’t loyalty. When the Death Row is at me, you left me.’ I said I gave you option to pay me more money. He was screaming ‘that ain’t loyalty as I was leaving.’ He was hurt that I left and I was hurt that I was leaving him. Cause I still felt guilty about leaving. I still feel guilty to this day man…”

Hopsin makes Eminem’s “8 Mile” reference in his new music video

Yesterday, Hopsin returned with a new single called “Alone With Me,” a track that finds him exploring the inner darkness and having a brutally honest conversation with himself.

In the song, Hop references Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole and Joyner Lucas with the following lines:

Be honest, you live in the shadow of Joyner Lucas 
Jealous? I know that you are, my point is proven
F**k happened to you?
You was spittin’ so cold, you was the “Ill Mind of Hopsin” on the list with the GOATs
Then you fell off, you should’ve took a different approach
I hate to say it, but you’ll never be like Kendrick or Cole

Eminem fans also noticed that Hop is referencing Eminem’s “8 Mile” at one point of the music video. Check out the post below:

[Hopsin – Alone With Me] Was this part in the vc a reference to Eminem? I mean, he kinda makes the same movements as Em does in the 8 Mile battles. I know Hopsin & Eminem respect each other though. Thoughts? from r/Eminem

Melle Mel: “I can easily beat Eminem in a rap battle”

Iconic rapper, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five’s Melle Mel has recently set down with DJ VLAD where the two talked about battling Eminem:

“I would easily beat Eminem in a battle. It would be the easiest thing I ever did. Easy. Technically he is a great rapper but I’m the greatest. I know how to write it. When I put it down it’s gonna stay down. It would be the easiest thing that I ever did. And when people bring that up, just say ‘you can’t beat Eminem’. I’ve been doing this all my life. I don’t even write how I used to write but still, easy. Rap is my destiny. Everybody that’s out there rapping, they all trying to do something that I did 40 years ago.” said Melle Mel.

Then he continued: “Rakim was one of the rappers that could rap when we were rapping back then. He definitely is and he changed the game. He was rapping different but when I heard Eminem rapping, I could rap the same. The game didn’t change. It wouldn’t stop nothing. They toss around greatness to much. If you want to be great you have to change something.

“Eminem is great rapper why there is no 50 great white rappers? Why nobody saying who is top 50 white rappers? Cause Eminem changed nothing. I’m not saying he is not a good rapper but what I’m saying is what I did was greatness.” Melle Mel added.

Nasty C tells Eminem not to pay attention to his recent video

Couple of days ago South African rapper Nasty C, who is signed to Def Jam Records did an Instagram live for his fans where the rapper threw some shades at Eminem.

“I can spank Eminem. The reason I say this cause recent Eminem is not really relatable. He is dope and bars are out of this world but he is not relatable. If you are rapper, you go crazy over it, if you are normal person it’s like you get at the end of the verse and you are like ‘what he just said? what the f**k was that.’ Me, on the other hand, I can do both. I can totally make no sense to a normal person or I can be super relatable. I can spank Eminem. I know you guys don’t believe that but don’t doubt me like that, dawg.”

In his recent Instagram story, Nasty C apologized (kind of) to the Rap God and asked him not to pay attention to that video: “Dear Eminem. I love you. If you see the video gong around right now, do not pay no mind to it. Just laugh about it and move on. Ngyak’saba.” Reportedly the last word in Zulu language means ‘I am scared.’ Check out the screenshot of his story below:
