“I love Lil Wayne. He keeps getting better. I think people don’t realize it because some of the beat choices but that man only got better on some technical skills in a good way unlike Marshall (Eminem), Marshall got too good that it’s like gross, he’s like too technically good that bro we can’t even fathom it. STOP. Wayne is tastefully good now. Watching one of the greats keep getting better makes no sense to me. Even Jay Z.” says Tyler.

In the first two diss songs, titled “The Invitation” and “Pray For Him“ respectively, Nick Cannon was assisted by Chicago rapper Prince Eazy, who said that infamous words: “God should’ve taken Eminem’s life instead of Juice WRLD.”

Yesterday, Prince Eazy sat down with Manny Akiio on “Off The Porch” show, where he explained why he backed Nick Cannon even though Eminem is one of his favorite rappers of all time. \

“A lot of ni**as talk s**t about Nick Cannon cause they see the goofy him on Wild N’ Out show, but they do not know that man paying for people funerals in Chicago and all type of s**t and never bragged about it once. Bro, how could you not respect a ni**a like that. It is so much on the internet that you all see but you all do not see that happening outside the internet.”

“Nick is my brother, I love Nick. You see that why I dissed Eminem for and Eminem is one of my favorite rappers. This ni**a Eminem is a monster, if you think Eminem can not rap, you stupid. He is a monster, he get busy, he even murdered his mama, period. He do not got no f**ks about life, he is a f**king GOAT. And Nick’s getting ate the f**k up, he needed help. I got you bro come on. That is all that was. I ain’t gotta smoke with it, I love Eminem.”

“And Bizarre is bogus as hell cause this fat a** used to follow me but unfollowed me after we dissed Eminem. You bogus as hell. I still f**k with Bizarre, I still follow his a** though. It is just rap bro, it is no real street s**t.” – said Prince Eazy.

“He is not technical all the time. He is piecing up syllables but sometimes he do not, sometimes he rhyme one syllable.” said Cassidy and raps “The Way I Am” as an example.

“That is one syllable,” Cassidy continues, “It’s just you all think he piecing up all these syllables. He do rhyme more syllables in other raps but a lot of times he just do not even be piecing up it is just a lot of rhymes and you think that he killing it.”

Philadelphia rapper the raps “My Name Is” and comments: “I know the science of this sh*t is a two-syllable piece up. That is the best Eminem right there. When he rap like that, that is when I really like him. But a lot of people do not even understand the way that you are supposed to rhyme and piece it up.”

“You gotta really break the science down the proper way like not just rappers, fans too, everybody. Like I know this is one syllable, this is two, this three, this is this. Once people could do that, rappers gonna have to step it up and fans gonna demand more cause they are gonna understand better.”

“I know it’s gonna sound crazy cause you ain’t never really heard nobody from Detroit say this. Eminem. But not like that, though. My mommy used to have these CD cases, you know, the ones you zip, and they hold all that. So I had moved to Memphis with my grandma when I was like four or five. On the way down there, I had a little Sony CD player, you know, the one with the batteries you click open. My grandma and grandpa, they’re driving to Tennessee, they’re doing 55 the whole way there. They’re not playing no music except gospel tapes. So I played that “The Marshall Mathers LP” for probably a week. It f**ked my head up because that’s how I thought life was. You know, Eminem had got a lot of issues. To be four and to play this music. My sister had just died, I was seeing my mama cry a lot, so it was like, ‘Damn, that’s what this sh*t is really like.’ It was so much, I couldn’t even take it all in. I don’t know, I let it grow with me.”

Then he also revealed his favorite songs from Eminem: “Stan, Mockingbird, Kill You, and Kim. The Way I Am, that’s my favourite one.” says Baby Smoove. You can watch the interview below:

BECK remembers losing Labi Siffre sample to Eminem

This Friday marks the 25th anniversary of Beck’s landmark album Odelay. Beck went on Matt Wilkinson’s Apple Radio show today to discuss the Odelay era and other career tidbits.

At one point the interview drifted ahead a couple years to the moment when Beck was preparing to release 1999’s Midnite Vultures.

“I went in my first meeting with Jimmy Iovine and I had Midnite Vultures and I was going to play it for him. He said, “Before we do anything, I just signed this kid. It’s going to be massive. It’s going to change everything. We just got the video. They just sent it to us today. Sit down and watch this.” Me and my manager sat down and we’re looking at each other like, “Ah.” So he puts on the record and the video comes on and it’s like, “Hi, my name is.” And it’s this blonde kid rapping. And the song is funny. And then my jaw’s on the floor, because the loop, the sample is a Wurlitzer keyboard, just like on “Where It’s At.” It’s the sample that the Dust Brothers were saving for me to be the follow-up for “Where It’s At.” It’s the exact sample. “I Got The Blues.” Which we were saving for the follow-up to Midnite Vultures. And then Dr. Dre got to it first and he used it for Eminem’s first single.”

Wendy explains how she got signed Eminem to Aftermath: “Nobody wanted to sign him”

Wendy Day, is a legendary mentor and consultant for hip-hop artists, who was the advisor and mentor of Tupac Shakur and Chuck D of Public Enemy. She organized the 1997 Rap Olympics, where Eminem was invited by her via his demo tape Infinite to perform which gained him an Interscope Records deal. Wendy detailed that process in a recent interview with B High Atl.

“After Twista, Eminem was on my radar. His bars were crazy. I knew he was gonna be big but I didn’t know he was gonna be as big as Eminem got. Nobody knew. When I was shopping his deal, the reason I did Rap Olympics is I could not find a label who would sign a white boy who could rap. The just kept playing him to the left. The real funny thing is when I first started shopping his deal, I burned CDs in my home of his demo (meaning writing songs on the CD) and I dropped off packages to every label. Something that went wrong while burning CDs was that I burned blank CDs. All of his demo CDs were blank. I did not know that.”

“I took them to every label and only one label called me. Which means, only one label listened to that CD and it was Rich Isaacson’s Loud Records. He called me and said: ‘Yo, did you mean this CD to be blank?’ It was so embarrassing. I hat to burn new CDs and take them back to everybody but they all passed. Because at that point of time Milli Vanilli just been stripped off their Grammys and Vanilla Ice was not doing as great as people wanted him to in black community and for white rappers it was very hard and labels were like ‘no, we do not want to be the one.'”

“We tried getting him write up in The Source but that didn’t help. We did Unsigned Hype, that didn’t help. At that time, music was going from being lyrical on the underground like backpack type rap to Gangster and mainstream. More like bad boy type rap. So I decided to do an event called ‘Rap Olympics’ to bring attention and press to real lyrical guys to show the world that they are still there and to showcase Eminem cause he is lyrical and it worked. It got him signed to Dre, to Interscope, to Aftermath.” said Day.
