Erick Sermon says he’d go harder if he knew Eminem was on Nas’ “EPMD 2” track

EPMD’s Erick Sermon has recently visited Math Hoffa on his My Expert Opinion where he talked about how Nas’ “EPMD 2” with Eminem came about.

“Nas had called for the permission to use EPMD name, that happened, and then Hit-Boy was like ‘yo, you wanna jump on the record?’ I’m like ‘hell yeah, I jump on the song.'” said Erick Sermon.

Then he continued: “I really didn’t even know about what to do [write] so I was trying to go on what Nas was talking about. It was Covid. So, the s–t was going on so I was trying to being political with that cause I probably would have came different. Especially knowing that Eminem was coming up behind me.”

“So, you know, MCing, I don’t give a f–k if I can’t get him. I’m not gonna do that. If I know that Em is right there [Em is reckless]. And then, Nas said, ‘oh yeah, Eric, I put Em on the record.’ I was like ‘HUH?!’ We had 16 [bars] but he cut it because Em was going long. So, he only gave us 8. But it was cool. I respect that he called it EPMD. That was cool.”

“I would have kept saying metaphors, I would have kept going. Causse, I’m here, I wrote the whole thing so I would have went cause I’m not afraid.” Erick Sermon added.

Eminem & Mr. Porter show love to EPMD with new photo, fans believe its a new project, even though Em says it’s not

Eminem has recently hit the social media with the new picture with Denaun Porter and couple of Mercedes-Benz cars around him.

In the caption, Eminem wrote: “With me and Denaun Porter it’s always personal never business! EmDp, Mercedes Benz, (just having fun this ain’t a new project, ain’t an advertisement),” while tagging Mercedes Benz’s official twitter account and hashtagging #EmDp (Eminem and Denaun Porter).

The picture is actually a homage to legendary hip-hop duo EPMD. It references the album cover that Erick and Parrish made back in 1989, called “Unfinished Business.”

Last year, on a song called “EPMD 2,” Nas recruited Eminem and EPMD on a track that served as the sequel to Nas’ February 2021 track, which also features producer Hit-Boy, who co-produced the song and King’s Disease II album. The artists dive into the religious side of ongoing events and pay tribute to those who have passed away recently.

Even though Slim Shady said it himself that it’s not about the new project, fans believe it otherwise. Last time Eminem showed homage to legendary hip-hop act, KAMIKAZE album dropped. So, maybe fans are right after all. Check out some reactions below:

Kxng Crooked shares his thoughts on Nas, Eminem & EPMD’s “EPMD 2”

Kxng Crooked has recently shared his thoughts on Nas, Eminem and EPMD’s news song “EPMD 2.” Here is what the Slaughterhouse emcee has to say:

“About Em… A lot of people were like ‘why he had to go so hard’. His fans tweet me all the time and they say ‘if he does not do that, then they say oh he didn’t kill it this time he should have killed it or he laid back or he took his foot off the gas pedal’ and I feel like those people need to be more open-minded and be educated on different ways that you can kill a beat.

“If they think that the only way to kill the beat is aggressively attacking it and butcher knife it to death, just those people who feel like that, be a little more open-minded because there are lots of slow flows that have killed beats over time. We talk about Rakim, BIG, King Tee, Ice Cube, Scarface. They have all killed beats with slow flows.”
