Listen: Incredible Eminem AI songs compilation

Artificial Intelligence music generators are the biggest challenge for musicians in 2023. Nowadays, it’s absolutely possible to make an Eminem song without Eminem involved to it and it’s becoming headache for music creators day by day.

Artificial intelligence tools that generate text, images and music are moving art into new territory — and that’s raising tricky questions for the business of creativity.

For early adopters like Insider, the publication that this week announced an experiment with A.I.-aided articles, the new tools promise more efficient content creation. But for many artists, and the businesses that own their work, generative A.I. is a double threat. These systems can produce copycats of human works that dilute the market, and they use artists’ production, without their permission, as training data.

Some see that as stealing intellectual property: Universal Music Group recently told music streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music, to block A.I. systems from scraping its music.

As an example of A.I. generated music, we use Eminem’s case. In the video below, you can check out The Slim Shady LP era, The Marshall Mathers LP 2 era, Relapse era and Music To Be Murdered By era Eminem created by artificial intelligence.

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:

Mr. Porter reacts to new Eminem album rumors

Since Cole Bennett dropped some hints on new music, the speculations for new Eminem album have stormed the social media.

@stanistheone Instagram account shared a screenshot of supposedly Interscope’s now deleted tweet that said: “It’s official! The next Eminem album, his first in over 3 years, will be released on Friday. Executive produced by Dr. Dre, the album will debut on streaming services along with the new music video directed by Cole Bennett.”

In the caption the fan account wrote: “Reportedly @interscope tweeted this by accident on Twitter yet I don’t know anybody that actually saw said tweet. Notice how there isn’t a specific Friday that’s mentioned just the day itself. Keep in mind there is absolutely no physical proof to substantiate such a claim that an album is coming but remain alert nonetheless.”

In the comment section, Mr. Porter commented laughing emoji, meaning, the above information is bulls–t, unfortunately.

Eminem celebrates Father’s Day by promoting Snoop Dogg’s cereal

It’s been a long time since Eminem last shared anything on his social media accounts. It appears Father’s Day was a special day.

Father’s Day is a holiday honoring one’s father, or relevant father figure, as well as fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. Eminem is a father of three.

Slim Shady celebrated the day by promoting Snoop Dogg’s cereal, a natural flavored fruity hoopz with marshmallows. He posted a picture of himself, eating the cereal alongside Snoop Dogg’s “Doggystyle” cassette tape with TikTok anthem “Mockingbird” playing over the picture. In the caption, Eminem wrote: “Happy Father’s Day… thanks 4 the breakfast @snoopdogg!!!”

Snoop responded by reposting the screenshot of Eminem’s Twitter post with the caption: “@Eminem
8mile Breakfast @snoopcereal @amazon @walmart

Cole Bennett teases new Eminem song next week

Cole Bennett is leveling up in the video production space. The Lyrical Lemonade frontman took to his social media accounts to drop the official Rick Rubin-narrated first-ever short film, titled whyrush?, which was released today on June 18, 2023.

At the end of the film, there is a very strange audio recording. It appears it is reversed audio of Eminem’s “Role Model” intro and fans were quick to figure that out.

In the YouTube’s comment section one of the users commented: “It says “Okay, I’m going to attempt to drown myself” at the end which is reference to Eminem – Role Model. I don’t know why they included this at the end.”

On which the official account of Lyrical Lemonade replied: “Watch what happens next,” with Shushing Face emoji.

The interaction was shared by Cole Bennett himself on his Instagram story with the caption: “See you all next week!”

THIS IS A BIG HINT. Eminem is probably dropping something next week so you better stay tuned on Southpawer! Check out the video below:

Kid Capri says Eminem is hated cause he does “black stuff” better

During a recent interview on Audacy’s Hip-Hop Made podcast with host Mike Street, Kid Capri talked about his favorite rappers and how the majority of people decide on their Top 5 hip-hop artists.

The New York City DJ and rapper discussed how he believes that Eminem is denigrated because he is white and that he raps better than those who hate on him.

“Everybody goes by the popularity of the person instead of the real skill set. Everybody keep going at Eminem because he’s white. You’re mad because he’s doing Black stuff better than you are. Like 50 said. That’s what it is. The boy is nice, you can’t take that from him. Wisely use his name in your mouth every time. That boy is nice. You can not f–k with him on stage at all. ” said Kid Capri.

50 Cent said something similar years ago to defend Slim Shady from haters: “Hip Hop is Black music, without question, and, unfortunately for some people, it’s tough to accept that you have a White artist that does it better than Black artists.”

This is not the first time Capri made statements in defense of Eminem. During an interview with HipHopDX last year, he explained how Lil Pump dissing Eminem inspired his latest album, The Love.

“That was just one of the things that did inspire,” Capri said at the time. “I got tired of seeing the younger dudes thinking that the older people ain’t capable. Like we ain’t been here building this business from the ground up from day one.

Then he continued: “Sometimes, it is the truth. A lot of older people, they get out of touch. They don’t want the younger people to come in and do their thing, and it be just back and forth exchange.

“But when I watch Lil Pump disrespect a dude that became the Elvis of Hip Hop, this dude that sold millions and millions of records, created opportunities for so many people and is one of the greatest MCs on the planet, for him to just disrespect him like that, we losing our respect level.” he added.

Ice Cube says he’d choose Eminem as his ally in a rap battle

Legendary Ice Cube took some time to touch on a variety of topics with The Guardian magazine.

While the interview covers things from his past, like his break from N.W.A., he also touched on a hypothetical situation. The interviewer asked: If you had to choose two rappers to join your team in a rap battle, who would they be and why?

On which Cube replied: “Eminem is one of the best rappers that’s ever blessed the mic, and I feel the same way about Lil Wayne – I would not mind going into battle with those two.”

This is not the first time Ice Cube showed love to Eminem. Couple of years ago, he listed the top 15 greatest emcees of all time and included Slim Shady into it.

“I go back to guys who set the bar.” said Cube. “One of my first greatest is Melle Mel, another great emcee, I believe who brought more style to rhymes is KRS-1, another guy is my favorite of all time who introduced consciousness on another level into rap it’s Chuck D. Another one is another trendsetter, one of the OGs who helped the west coast get on the map, that’s Ice-T.”

Then he continued: “Snoop is one of my favorite rappers of all time, so is Biggie, so is Jay Z, so is Nas. We got rappers like Ras Kass on the west coast that’s crazy, Eminem – one of the best to ever touch the mic. Lil Wayne goddamn, he’s nasty! Oh, and Black Thought, monster! I’m gonna say Slick Rick. I’m gonna leave the last one blank [Laughs]. There are so many great emcees to name.”

Jack Harlow talks about Eminem, responds Machine Gun Kelly diss

During a recent appearance on Rap Radar podcast with Elliott Wilson and Brian ‘B.Dot’ Miller, Jack Harlow briefly talked about Eminem and responded to Machine Gun Kelly’s ‘Drake flow’ diss after claiming himself as the best white rapper since Slim Shady.

“I used to order bunch of XXLs and I think I was just reading old interviews, y’all put Eminem on the cover every month. I was reading a lot of Eminem interviews and I remember I was reading this one section and there was a whole column that said ‘Eminem bad for hip-hop’ and y’all had some of the biggest rappers in the game answered. Jay-Z gave his answer. I read that and everyone answered like ‘F–K NO! EMINEM NOT BAD FOR HIP-HOP. HE’S DOPE AS S–T.’ And that’s what connected with me.” – said Jack Harlow

Then he continues: “At the end of the day, if you can rap, what else we talking about? We are not perfect. He made few mistakes in his career, sure, but it don’t f–king matter because he can rap his a– off so I said, I just had a moment I was like ‘just rap bro, there is so many things you could try to be everything’ but at the end of the day on this one I just wanted to rap.”

Later in the interview, Harlow responded to Machine Gun Kelly’s “Renegade” freestyle diss: “Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, and I feel great about what I said, and I feel great about the reaction. It just is what it is. I’m an MC! I’m talking my s–t. This ain’t new concept to feel yourself. I fell no reservations about what was said at all.

Earlier this month MGK dissed the Kentucky native in a freestyle over Jay-Z’s Eminem-produced 2001 hit, “Renegade.” In the freestyle, he rapped: “I see why they call you Jackman, you jacked man’s whole swag / Give Drake his flow back, man, I eat rappers like Pac-Man.”

Alaina says Eminem walked her down the aisle at her wedding

Alaina Scott, Eminem’s eldest daughter, wed her longtime lover Matt Moeller on June 9, 2023 in a “Great Gatsby glam” themed event and Eminem played a particular role in the wedding.

“I had an 80-ft long black and white checkered aisle and my dad walked me down the aisle. He wasn’t going to miss that.” Alaina told the People magazine in an exclusive interview.

Then she continued: “Getting married is a sacred thing and we wanted to be surrounded by people who share in our daily lives. We did something super untraditional and didn’t allow many plus ones. This was important to us.”

“These are once-in-a-lifetime moments and I’m just so grateful to be loved the way I am by everyone. None of this would have been possible without my Dad. I’m beyond blessed.” she added.

At the reception, Eminem’s brother Nathan “Nate Kane” Mathers performed his song called “Slide on Over” which was “really fun,” according to Alaina.

Wicked says Eminem can go against Lil Wayne on Verzuz battle

Wicked from the Ghetto Mafia has recently sat down with B High Atl where he listed rappers who go against Lil Wayne in a Verzuz battle and included Eminem as the main candidate.

“If we are talking one on one, my catalog against yours, Eminem can go toe to toe with Lil Wayne. Jay can go toe to toe with him. LL is another guy. LL can go against anybody. Rock The Bell album alone, every song on that album, it’s 15! Nas, you know Snoop can go at anybody. His own partner Drake too. I said Em. We can throw Kanye up there.” said Wicked

Then he continues: “If we are talking about just lyricists, I have no argument with Lil Wayne. I know some people might be upset when I say but Eminem! Em’s a bad motherf–ker. We can’t hate. You know, some people are like ‘I can’t put him in there’ but that’s bulls–t.”

“After Dre and Snoop for a moment, I don’t know their personal business, but it was a little moment that they would not f–king with each other and that’s when he came in with Em and 50 Cent. And when he came with Em like ‘Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say’ Snoop was like ‘hold on now. Snoop had to do like that for a minute and he was like ‘maybe I should talk to Dre and square this away’ so like I said, I would put Em up there, like Nas and Jay but Lil Wayne does not have to apologize for saying that. This man held down this industry for 30 plus years.” Wicked added.

Today in 2000, Eminem’s “The Marshall Mathers LP” debuted at #1 on Billboard with record-breaking sales

23 years ago today (June 11, 2000), Eminem’s “The Marshall Mathers LP” debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 charts with 1,760,000 sold in it’s first week and stayed atop for eight consecutive weeks. A significant commercial success compared to the release of “The Slim Shady LP” just the previous year, the album sold 1.78 million copies in its first week, which made it among the fastest-selling studio albums in the United States.

It spawned the hits like “The Real Slim Shady,” “The Way I Am” and “Stan,” featuring Dido, is certified diamond by RIAA and is the best selling rap album in Soundscan history.

“The Marshall Mathers LP” has been included in numerous all-time lists and is widely regarded as Eminem’s greatest album.

“Stan”, the third single released from the album, became a number-one hit in both the United Kingdom and Australia. The song, which details around a crazed fan of the same name, has been highlighted as a work of poetry by critics, and soon gave rise to the Oxford English Dictionary term “stan.”

Big Daddy Kane reveals few things Eminem talks about in his upcoming Netflix documentary

In a recent interview with AllHipHop magazine, Big Daddy Kane provided an update on his forthcoming Netflix documentary, titled Paragraphs I Manifest, which boasts several high-profile interviews with everyone from Eminem and Jay-Z to J. Cole and Common.

“We’re in the editing stages right now. And hopefully, we’ll be finished within the next two months. That’s what I’m praying for, you know, because I really feel that it’s important to get this out as Hip-Hop is celebrating 50 years.” says Big Daddy Kane.

Then he continues: “The most rewarding part of this experience is hearing different artists’ perspectives. To sit with someone like Common, who I respect as a great lyricist and is someone with a unique flow other than the norm and representing a city other than New York, to hear his influences and his thought process, things of that nature. To hear Eminem talk about losing a rap battle. To hear him talking about what motivated him to write a song, who he listened to and studied, stuff like that.”

“The biggest thing I learned was something Eminem said, because I never really thought about it. When I am writing and I am doing what I do, I am just in my zone. I am listening to him talk, but as I am listening to him, I am trying to think who did it before me, and I actually could not come up with no one. I was just sitting there really blown away.”

“When we left, I actually went listening to different artists that had songs out before me to see if anyone else did that in their writing style, and I did not find no one. I am not saying that I am the first,  am just saying that so far I have not found anyone. It was crazy.” Big Daddy Kane added.

Eminem narrates “Be Like Mike” new campaign by Gatorade

Thanks to Gatorade, a week filled with journeys down memory lane comes to a satisfying conclusion. Eminem serves as emcee, and his 2010 track “Won’t Back Down,” featuring P!nk from Recovery album bubbles up, too. But the Detroit legend’s participation is just one nostalgic element of a :30 from the PepsiCo brand.

We’re also treated to way-back commercial footage of Michael Jordan — with the “Be Like Mike” jingle reverberating from more than 30 years ago to rock our brainpans.

Titled “The Way to Be Great,” and developed with TBWA\Chiat\Day L.A., the spot serves as a bridge between generations, a merging of past, present and future. Clips of sports legends in their prime segue into footage of contemporary athletes. Along with M.J., Serena Williams and Lionel Messi appear, plus Jayson Tatum, Elena Delle Donne, Sydney McLaughlin and more.

“We know our brand has everything athletes need to fuel Greatness. We have fueled the greatest athletes of all time over the last 60 years, and ‘The Way to Be Great’ is an anthemic campaign meant to bring to life what greatness has been, and what greatness looks like in the future.” – says Anuj Bhasin, chief brand officer at Gatorade.

In the Gatorade video, Eminem says: “You wanna be like greats? First, believe yo are. Greatness requires drip. Not like that, like this! The Greats are not afraid to fail. They fuel by it. Trophies require greatness but greatness does not require trophies because greatness is not about what you have done, it’s about what you do next!”
