Method Man & Redman praise Eminem and Slaughterhouse

Method Man, Redman and Raekwon are each hip-hop legends, but they aren’t resting on their laurels. Huddled inside of Red Bull’s Los Angeles studio, the veteran MCs kicked their Red Bull Spiral Freestyle. Before filming the cypher, the three hip-hop icons did an interview with Billboard where they praised Eminem and Slaughterhouse’s freestyling skills.

Redman: I like Kendrick Lamar’s freestyle on BET. Him and TDE. There’s so many elements to a freestyle. It’s not just about bars. It’s the movement; it’s the body language. My favorite part of Kendrick’s freestyle was when he high-fived ScHoolboy Q. See, I pay attention to little things like that. It was the perfect high-five! It was clean and you heard it! I know when or if he sees this, he’ll be like, “Wow, that guy is detailed. He knows what he talking about.” Because I know that hand slap was practiced and perfected. Eminem too… Em always bodyin’ s–t. What he was talking about during a BET Hip-Hop Awards freestyle, the purpose he was talking about when he was freestyling is what I liked. He could have blacked out and just went HAM, but he talked about purpose and things that was going on, so I highly respect it.

Method Man: My favorite moment — I wasn’t there, but it was when Busta and Dirty had that cypher…It was kind of like a battle, but it wasn’t, but it was very respectable. And I think that started their friendship from that day, where they was, like, inseparable…I also really liked the Slaughterhouse/Eminem cipher. That s–t was dope. They was killing it. I also liked a battle rapper cipher that they did on their own. Everybody caught a body on that. K-Shine killed it. Those are the ones that stick out in my mind.

Raekwon: One year, we went to the Jack the Rapper convention. It was an event, but it felt like a neighborhood, because everybody from all over was there… We’d run up and start battles. I remember, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, God bless his soul, would approach artists and say, “Shoot your rhyme.” They shoot they rhyme, thinking that we were just inspired, but they don’t know they just walked into a f—kin’ liquid sword fight. I remember Dirty goin’ crazy. “I grab the mic and I damage ya/ Crush ya whole stamina/ Here comes the medical examiner!” Those three lines right there was like, “Holy s–t!”

Nick Cannon picks one of 50 Cent’s songs as the biggest song in hip-hop history

There are total of 419 songs in Spotify history that managed to cross the 1 Billion streams and 50 Cent’s 2003 mega hit song “In Da Club,” produced by Dr. Dre from Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ album is one of them. The song now has over 400 million more streams than his second biggest hit on the platform, “Candy Shop,” from The Massacre album.

To celebrate, Spotify sent 50 Cent a plaque sporting a silver plated version of their logo. Fiddy shared the photo on Instagram with the caption: “Take your time, make it a classic then it won’t go away.”

In the comments section, Method Man and Bobby Shmurda commented fire emojis. Nick Cannon also replied: “Biggest Song in HipHop History!!” adding fire emojis.

Nick Cannon’s shout out came shortly after he threw shots at 50 Cent over his weight. Cannon made the comments about Fiddy while discussing Vivica Fox during one of the episodes of his “The Daily Cannon” podcast show. “You can like, fantasize about Fif from 15 years ago. That’s a different Fif than this fat ni**a that’s walking around now. He is fat! He look like he got a pack of hot dogs on the back of his neck. You looking at them pictures from ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’,’ now it’s get thick or die fryin’.”

50 Cent seemingly responded on Instagram, saying: “If your marketing campaign is say something about 50. Your not going to make it, have a nice day.”

Staten in the buildin’, ain’t no accident
We might take a knee, amen, Kaepernick
I’m dope but I ain’t traffickin’
Nah, ain’t no comparison
Babblin’ rappers imaginin’ they battlin’ Eminem usin’ them bars, embarassin’
Everytime I ate I turn my passion into passionate
You hazardous and half of my Mobb Deep ain’t having it
Master this music, I ain’t Harriet
But still I took the underground road with no swing loose from chariots…

Redman wears t-shirt with Eminem quote on it during Verzuz battle against Method Man

Few hours ago, Method Man and Redman went hit-for-hit during the “How High 4/20 Special” VERZUZ event. The “battle” was a lighthearted event where the two collaborators and friends danced and joked around with each other pretty much the entire time. The two legendary hip-hop artists ended by announcing that they’re working on Blackout! 3.

RZA, Inspectah Deck, and Cappadonna made guest appearances, and RZA also announced that a new album with DJ Screw was on the way. DJ Kool showed up and did “Let’s Get Dirty” and “Let Me Clear My Throat.” EPMD, Keith Murray, and Lords of the Underground’s Dupre “Doitall” Kelly made an appearance. Kelly announced that he was running for office in Newark.

One of the highlights from the night was Redman’s T-shirt which had Eminem lyrics from “Till I Collapse” on it: “It goes: Reggie, Jay-Z, 2Pac and Biggie…” Reginald “Reggie” Noble, better known by his stage name Redman, is one of Eminem’s favorite rappers, with his horrorcore style being a significant influence on him.

Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg shared Redman’s picture from the night, saying: “I need one of those Redman t-shirts from Verzuz.” Check it out below:

Method Man & Math Hoffa discuss Eminem & Snoop Dogg situation

In one of his My Expert Opinion’s latest episodes, Math Hoffa chopped it up with legendary Method Man where they discussed Snoop Dogg and Eminem situation.

“In a room where we just in it. We boys and s**t like that. We say that kind of s**t to each other. You know ‘I don’t f**k with your s**t, it’s wack’ but when it’s put in a public form, it takes whole different lights. For example, I can tell my best friend to shot the f**k up when me and just him in a room. He will take it no kind of way but when we are in the room full of motherf**kers and I say that then it takes whole different lights. It’s like ‘you gon’ tell me that in front of these ni**as?'”

“Eminem should have look at it as boys being boys. It’s like ‘you don’t f**k with my music? so what? but that was a public platform that’s why it hits little different. So for Eminem who is revered not just by white kids but also blacks cause we know he respects the genre. Eminem can say the wackest bar in the world and they will be like ‘omg dude did you hear what he just said.’ It’s the same thing for Snoop. I’m pretty sure Em heard verses from Snoop and he was like ‘ni**a that s**t was garbage.’ But Em is a type of person that only tell Snoop that in a safe space. In a safe environment. Snoop on the other hand, he ain’t rapper anymore. He’s public persona. He’s beyond superstar. Everything he does it’s a public form.”

“We all know Eminem does not have thick skin. You can tell that by his records that he does not have thick skin and if anybody said anything sideways about him he went ape-s**t” and went in on him to the point where he ruined careers but we loved that s**t cause that where the culture came from. Especially battle rappers. They love that s**t. And I think everybody Eminem ever dissed on a record he hated their a**es but he don’t have that energy with Snoop so it was more hurt than ignite.”

After that, battle rappers talk about Eminem’s very first lines on “Zeus” and Ms. Fit thinks Eminem dissed her with those Tekashi lines cause about a year ago Ms. Fit said MGK’s diss record was better than Eminem’s. She also calls “Zeus” record a phenomenal record. Watch the interview below:
