NF responds to people who think he dissed Eminem on “MOTTO”

In the latest episode of Lowkey Deeply, NF spoke about his upbringing, his process of writing music and mental health. The Gladwin, Michigan-born rapper also talked about how his new album titled HOPE came together and revealed if there really is a feud with Eminem.

Even though NF has cited Eminem as his biggest influence when growing up, fans think there has been going on some back and forth between the two since Slim Shady dropped Kamikaze album. In the song “The Ringer,” Marshall raps: “Last week, an ex-fan mailed me a copy / Of The Mathers LP to tell me to study / It’ll help me get back to myself and she’ll love me (ooouuu) / I mailed the b–ch back and said if I did that / I’d just be like everyone else in the f–king industry / Especially an effing Recovery clone of me (NFing).”

“An effing” is a minced way of saying “a f–king”. Em is supposedly taking a shot at NF who makes music often compared to Eminem in his Recovery era, but who refrains from using profane language in his lyrics. Eminem softens his own profanity to mock this, while simultaneously turning it into a pun on NF’s rap name.

In one of his latest singles, titled “MOTTO” NF raps: “(Oh, snap) This is the industry… (Oh, yeah) Would’ve gave anything / To be respected by the artist I was listening to / but not no more, them days are history.” Fans thought those lines were response to Eminem but the young rapper denied the rumors in the latest interview on Lowkey Deeply.

“The older I get and the more I do music I just don’t care about it as much. Some people trying to take lines like that and make personal thing towards a person specifically but overall, I’ve never felt less of a need to get the nod from anybody artist wise. Because I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished, whether or not I’m ever get the nod from the industry itself, I’m proud of the shows I’m able to do. The records I’m able to sell.” said NF.

Then he continues: “It’s not that a nod from certain artist would not mean something to me but it’s just I don’t feel the same as I would have. So yeah, the reason is, once you just have been around and you have seen the industry more, I feel like you feel just kinda shifted how I thought about the industry and music and stuff like that.”

At one point of the interview, Eladio Carrión spoke how Eminem and 50 Cent influenced his writing style: “I have always loved to rhyme. I am big Eminem fan and Lil Wayne and 50 Cent. So, I always had that curiosity for clever wordplay…I always thought, like Eminem, how can I do music like him and make people feel it. Em, 50, Wayne showed me how to write rap. And Kanye West was the first rapper who made me feel the beat.”

This is not the first time Eladio Carrión gave Eminem his flowers. Last year, during the conversation with XXL magazine, the Puerto Rican artist revealed that Nas and Slim Shady introduced him to rap: “When I was like, in the first grade, I’d be hearing 50 Cent’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’, Nas, Eminem’s Curtain Call. Jay-Z, Big L. I was introduced to hip-hop very early. Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott, all of that. my favorite rappers like Big Sean, Lil Wayne, Eminem, 50, each of those rappers taught me something. Like 50 Cent, he taught me the importance of feeling sure about yourself when you rap. Eminem taught me about deliveries and wordplay. Big Sean also, his delivery and wordplay is crazy. Lil Wayne, you don’t have to wait every four bars to do a punch line. You could do a punch line every bar. Every bar there could be a punch line.”

Trinidad James & T-Pain perform Eminem’s “Marshall Mathers” on Nappy Boy Radio

Trinidad James has recently sat down with T-Pain on the Nappy Boy Radio podcast where the two had a good time with Eminem‘s “Marshall Mathers” track from his 2000’s classic album, The Marshall Mathers LP.

At one point of the interview, when T-Pain asked Trinidad and Tobago-born rapper which song he would perform from front to back if he had gun to his head, James quickly started rapping some lyrics. The crew first got confused but T-Pain realized that it was one of Eminem songs, however they could not remember the title of the track. After googling, they came out with the name of the song and started performing “Marshall Mathers” together.

“Marshall Mathers” is a title track off “The Marshall Mathers LP” which is a direct reaction to the turmoil Eminem’s life went in to after the release and runaway success of The Slim Shady LP.

In the book “Angry Blonde,” Eminem wrote: “While putting together my second album, I kind of wanted to come up with an “I Don’t Give a F–k,” Part 3. Jeff from FBT was playing this acoustic guitar track. He then started singing the hook “Cause I’m just Marshall Mathers”. It’s ill, because every time we’re f–king around in the studio we seem to come up with the dopest s–t. We’ll f–k around and be smiling while we’re saying s–t and I’ll say “Yo that’s dope. I should use that.” When I thought of the chorus I felt that what I needed to talk about in the verses was just me and my opinions. So I touched on everything the newest trends in hip-hop (which I’m not really with), to ICP, to my mother, to my family members who don’t know me and always wanna come around. I wanted to just spit fire in each verse and have the soft-a– innocent chorus. I think it captures the whole “front porch” feel despite on the album’s cover. When I recorded this I decided to call the album The Marshall Mathers LP.”

Tom Green says he didn’t take Eminem’s namedrop as a diss

Canadian-American comedian, show host, actor, filmmaker, podcaster and rapper Tom Green has recently sat down on Boomsies with Dan O’Toole where he was asked about Eminem name-dropping him on “The Real Slim Shady” song from 2000’s The Marshall Mathers LP album.

“Finally got to ask Tom Green where he was when he first heard The Real Slim Shady.” Dan tweeted with the clip of the video where the two is talking about Eminem mentioning Green on his classic hit song. Tom retweeted it with the caption: “Awesome!! Thanks Dan! And thanks Eminem!!!”

“Sometimes I wanna get on TV and just let loose / But can’t, but it’s cool for Tom Green to hump a dead moose / My bum is on your lips, my bum is on your lips.” raps Eminem in the song.

During the interview, Tom recalled the moment he heard the song on the radio for the first time: “[You are on a freaking Eminem song] Yeah, I know, it’s wild. I was just driving in Los Angeles and it came on the radio and I heard it. Nobody had told me about it before and I guess it had just been released. It was pretty cool. I mean, it’s pretty cool getting a name dropped in an Eminem song.” said Tom Green.

Then he continues: “It’s funny cause people sometimes interpret it like it’s a diss, but if you really listen to what he’s saying, it’s not actually a diss. He’s saying that he wants to go on TV and let loose, but he can’t, but it’s cool for Tom Green to hump a dead moose, right? So, he’s sort of almost saying he envied the fact that I was able to let loose on TV while he could not. But he did, of course, end up getting to let loose on TV himself. And when he did, he did not choose to hump any moose. But, that was a Canadian moose as well. So it’s two Canadians referenced in that one line – myself and the Moose were both Canadians. That was just outside of Red Deer, Alberta, that I humped that moose.”
