Actor, rapper and singer Orlando Brown, best known for his roles as Cadet Kevin ‘Tiger’ Dunne in Major Payne, 3J Winslow in Family Matters, Max in Two of a Kind, Damey Wayne “Waynehead” in Waynehead, Sticky Webb in The Proud Family, Cornelius Fillmore in Fillmore!, Eddie Thomas in That’s So Raven, and Frankie in Eddie’s Million Dollar Cook-Off, has recently sat down for the interview on Cam Capone News where he talked about The Game’s Eminem-diss record “The Black Slim Shady.”
“I’ve heard like three seconds of it and I don’t like it. It’s none of my business.” said Orlando. “Ten minutes? Why ten minutes? It’s personal. Really, really personal. What was the point of that? You guys are from the same camp, it had to be personal. I don’t like it and I think Kendrick did it. Kendrick Lamar wrote that s**t. Everybody knows Game does not write his own lyrics.”
Then he continues: “Eminem is never gonna respond to f**king Game. It’s just not gonna happen. It’s just so distasteful. I that think he’s that SHOOK about it. I think it’s hilarious for Eminem. It would be f**king funny to me if I was Eminem. I would be like ‘AHAHAH GAME DID A DISS-TRACK ON ME?!’ That’s f**king hilarious. ‘Let me go chill with Bon Jovi and talk about it over some f**king sushi.'”
Then the two continue talking about Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s upcoming project. You can watch the interview below:
Westside Boogie has recently sat down with Charlamagne Tha God and Angela Yee on Power 105.1 FM’s Breakfast Club where he talked about his latest album More Black Superheroes, his past relationships, therapy sessions, linking up with Eminem, relationship with Kendrick Lamar and much more.
About ‘More Black Superheroes’ album
The process of making this album was tough because the accountability factor that came with therapy. By that time I had a healthy relationship and when I lost her I was still happy because I was like ‘I’m gonna make a fire album, I can make a heart-break album.’ Then I’m at therapy and my therapist make me address the stuff and make me hold myself accountable so I felt like I could not approach music the same. It was hard to make certain songs and it took awhile to figure out what I wanted to talk about.
About linking up with Eminem
I was sitting in church in Compton. I was doing gospel raps at first and there were a little kids who were going to church and were already a gang members and I thought they were the coolest ni**as in the world so I became a follower. I started going in church with them and gospel rap was not a thing anymore. Just started rapping around the city. Got my baby mama pregnant at 19. I was recording in my mama’s room for about 4 years. This white man hit me on Twitter. In a hood we think that any white man hit us means we made it. That’s what I thought at that time. He became my manager. He came from Indian background. He was working with the likes of Skrillex.
Interscope ended up calling me. But they put me on the shelf. Then LVRN came around and two weeks before that my new manager had called me and said ‘hey man I don’t know hw Paul Rosenberg found your music but he f**king with you and he wanna fly you to Detroit.’ I had new management and Eminem took over my contract out of nowhere. I don’t know how he found me. They said Rihanna’s post about me was a thing. Eminem told me the songs that he liked was like my album cuts and he was explaining me those lyrics and that’s what made me trust a judgement because he was not talking to me about the viral songs. We had that conversation, I went home and he just gave me the freedom to create, that’s why I appreciate him. Because he gave me advice when I needed it but he does not overstepping my creative process.
About relationship with Kendrick Lamar
That’s my favorite rapper. He’s from my neighborhood and I just appreciate the doors he opened with just about being himself. I never expect Kendrick to do nothing for me. He did gave me opportunities because just let me come around and to see certain stuff being in the studio with him. So yeah, shout out to him. I do have a relationship. It’s not like he’s my best friend but somebody from my neighborhood who was accessible to everyone from my neighborhood.
Westside Boogie has recently sat down with Bootleg Kev to promote his upcoming “More Black Superheroes” album, the follow-up of his 2019 Shady Records debut album, “Everythings For Sale.”
When the interviewer wanted the Compton rapper to share the details about the album, like – if Eminem is on the album or any other features – Boogie refused to reveal any, but he did share some little details:
“There are twelve to fifteen songs on the album. Everything is a part of rollout. You know, you gotta surprise people. I wanted to be thirteen but I’m still trying to figure out. Probably take something out or add something in the last minute.” said Boogie.
Later in the interview, Boogie talked about Eminem: “He’s nice guy. Sometimes I feel bad for how big he is because he can’t do some of the stuff that regular people do. So I do see him as trapped in celebrity sometimes but I’ll take that.”
When asked to name his top 5 rappers dead or alive, Boogie replied: “My top five is always rotating so I’m gonna say with no order, its Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Tupac and Eminem. Was Eminem political choice? Nah. He might be number one when we talk about the ability to rap.”
Boogie then gives some other details from his upcoming album: “As of now, I have four rapper features and the album is coming out in the next 40 days.
After visiting Power 106 for L.A. Leakers freestyle, Westside Boogie spoke with Variety magazine at The Bakerie in downtown Los Angeles about what it meant to contribute to Kendrick Lamar’s new album “Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers,” his experience in the music business, his forthcoming album, “More Black Superheroes,” how Eminem discovered him and more.
Let’s start with “Purple Hearts.” How does it feel to get a track on Kendrick’s album?
It feels amazing. One, because everybody knows that’s one of my favorite rappers of all time. Also, it’s a big leap for me — writing for somebody. I never co-wrote. … My boy Justice blessed me with the opportunity and trusted me. It also helps having LVRN as your management, because, you know, they’re plugged. [Laughs]
What was the creative process like?
It was hard at first … tapping into being a girl. I was doing my little parts at home and I didn’t tell my homies what I was doing. … It’s a little more free when you’re doing it for somebody else. Because as artists, we get trapped in the mind of the artist we’re supposed to be, or how people already see us as. So we do them same type of records because it’s safe. But when it’s for somebody else, you can do whatever.
Do you have a favorite track off Kendrick’s album besides “Purple Hearts”?
“Count Me Out” is my favorite. He was just gassing on there, the way he was rapping. It felt super vulnerable saying how he shared too much and cared too much. I felt that bar, that was heavy for me.
How do you view Kendrick’s place in hip-hop?
He’s Mount Rushmore — one of my GOATs and he has to be one of the rap GOATs. It’s amazing. It’s Compton. Compton is the best music city in the world. No matter what my manager Justice has to say about Atlanta, Compton runs the world.
Eminem said to Dr.Dre that the Kendrick album left him speechless?
Yeah he tweeted Dr. Dre. Eminem’s hilarious on social media. He chooses to tweet Dr.Dre about the Kendrick album, that is so funny to me. I love him.
How has your experience been at Shady?
It’s amazing, that’s my boy. Obviously he’s one of the biggest rappers ever, so there’s that benefit. He opened my career to a whole other fanbase so I’m forever grateful for that. You can always take so much in from him because he’s one of the GOATs.
How were you first discovered by Eminem?
I was signed in 2015. I had a manager named Clayton, who I had reached my ceiling with. Him and my label had a disconnect a little bit. I guess the term would be, I was shelved for two years. My A&R Tim [Glover, EVP at Interscope Records], he loved me. He was the first person to sign me. He got me the opportunity to meet with LVRN… I was on the shelf. I was living in this apartment in Torrance. I got a call from Tim, who said, “Yo, somehow, Eminem heard your music from Paul, He wants to fly you out.” So I flew out the next day, then I was signed. Around that time, I met LVRN. My life started changing, so I could say it was a consistent belief in myself.
Since its arrival on May 16, Fans, media and hip-hop peers have been discussing Kendrick Lamar’s new album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. With 18 tracks of intense content, the 5th solo studio effort from Compton’s finest takes some time to properly dissect. But it looks like Eminem has already formed his opinion.
About an hour ago, the Detroit legend came through with a tweet praising Dr. Dre for his work done on the album. In the tweet, Slim Shady wrote: “Yo Dr. Dre this Kendrick album is f**cking ridiculous. I am speechless.”
Within minutes, the tweet received over 10k retweets and 50k likes. In the comment section some fans agreed with Em’s take but some not.
Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers was released via pgLang, Top Dawg Entertainment, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. It serves as both the follow-up to 2017’s album DAMN. and Kendrick’s last album for Top Dawg.
You can check the Eminem’s tweet below:
Yo @DrDre this Kendrick album is f****** ridiculous. I’m speechless.
Eminem has recently sat down with Sway on Shade 45 to promote his Super Bowl Halftime show where he talked about relationship with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, his favorite Super Bowl performances, his plans in future and more!
On Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick is very top top tier lyricist. Not only for this generation but all time.
On Beyoncé
Beyoncé f**king destroyed the Super Bowl Halftime show.
On Snoop Dogg
Snoop is in every other commercial. You just can’t escape him. It’s great that he made himself to be this relevant to this day. It’s incredible. That’s crazy. Me and Snoop are good. We talked months ago about whole thing. We just set down and realized nobody wants a beef within their own camp. Snoop is Snoop man. I will say this about him too, he literally could be a stand up comedian. He’s still f**king funny. That thing he did with Animal Planet…Bro he’s like that constantly, when you are around him. It’s constant and never stops.
On Dr. Dre
My relationship with Dre is absolutely the same. I have not seen Dre for two years, I talk to him all the time but it’s like we could just pick up where we left off if we don’t see each other. It never stops. Our method is pretty much the same as it always been when we are in the studio together.
On his new album
I’m always working. I’m always working on something. And when I’m done working on it, we usually put it out. (If we told you it would not be too much of a surprise – Paul Rosenberg added)
Eminem has recently sat down with SiriusXM’s Sway Calloway ahead of his upcoming Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show performance on Shade 45’s Sway In The Morning show.

The 2022 Pepsi Super Bowl Halftime Show is just around the corner and the new trailer featuring Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige has just been released.
The slick video is made in collaboration with filmmaker F. Gary Gray and features all of the performers, who are scheduled to perform onstage together for the first time on February 13, 2022 at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
In the video, the five music icons play characters in sort of an action movie. Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar are seen doing their own thing before being summoned to a pre-performance by legendary Dr. Dre.
Joe Budden and his crew have recently discussed Cordae’s new album “From A Bird’s Eye View” and talked about the Eminem collaboration “Parables,” (Remix).
“I think ‘Eminem we know you can rap’ is an unfair criticism. He has been doing this s**t. My beef is with people who keep letting him do this on their songs. Shut that s**t off! But you are not chopping Eminem off but you can’t rap for 3 minutes on my song dawg! He’s one of the rappers that you just never play around baddies.” – said Joe.
“But I will say, if you ask Em to come an do a song with you then maybe this is what you want him to do, cause if rappers keep letting him do this, extending the beat or he does it and sends it back and they just accept it then…I would cut his verse cause he cut mine! [Laughs]. Do that s**t with Wayne. Do that s**t with somebody that gonna do it back. He can rap for 5 minutes on Lil Wayne song but Wayne is never putting it out without Wayne rapping for 6 minutes. That will never happen. ‘Hey , rap all you want cause I’mma do it too. Do it there. Don’t do it with ni**as that are putting out 12s or 16s bars songs. What was it, was it Nas’ album that he did that s**t? He just goes off on very feature.” Joe added.
Later in the interview, Joe and his crew discussed Eminem and Kendrick Lamar “Love Game” song from 2013 and they called it ‘terrible.’
“That Eminem and Kendrick Lamar record is high on the list of worst record ever made by two superstars. It was a mess. That happened with Hova too. Who was on that record Kingdom Come? Was it Beyonce or Usher?” said Joe Budden.
Snoop Dogg has recently appeared on “Monday Night Football” with NFL legends Eli and Peyton Manning and he told the brothers he’s grateful for the opportunity to perform with Dr. Dre, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar at Super Bowl Halftime Show on February 13, 2022.
“It’s gonna be a great performance. You got Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Snoop Dogg. It’s gonna be a great presentation. We’re so thankful that NFL is accepting hip-hop on stage and letting us do what we do.” said Snoop.
“We plan to put on together a great show to you and giving the people something they’ve been waiting for. They love to watch a great Super Bowl game and at halftime, they love to see who’s gonna perform, so we’re gonna give you the greatest performance you’ve ever seen in hip-hop history.” Snoop added.
Finally, Nardwuar landed his J. Cole interview. The interview with Dreamville head honcho has been at least a couple years in the making.
In almost 1 hour long interview, J. Cole briefly talked about getting inspired by Canibus, Eminem, Royce 5’9″ and Big L.
“Canibus was huge inspiration on my teenage years of rapping. Just ferocious, barred up, lyrical, punch lines, any cypher, any gathering of three or more people that wanted to rap, destroying it. That was my whole mo, my forte and Canibus was big part of that. Eminem was big part of that. Royce 5’9″ as big part of that, Big L was big part of that.” – said Cole.
At one point during the interview (After 43 minutes), J. Cole confirmed that he told Dr. Dre about Kendrick Lamar: “Who told you that? Who gave you that piece of information? The answer is yes, I did. I’m not gonna say I was the first to tell him but when Dre was working on Detox album, yes, I was like ‘you gotta sign this kid from Compton. Shout out to Dr. Dre, he made right decision.”
