Tony Yayo has recently sat down with DJ VLAD for an interview where the two talked about the history of G-Unit.
At one point of the interview, Yayo talked about Eminem as well.
“Eminem is my top five emcees. He’s slept on. [At that time The Marshall Mathers LP had already sold like twenty million copies] but for me it was just one verse “Renegade” with him and Jay-Z. He shows his rapping capability that for the hood. Before I knew Eminem or anything, it was like “Renegade” made me a fan of Eminem and I always say that.” said Yayo.
You can watch the interview and listen to “Renegade” below:
Vince Staples dropped by the neighborhood to talk with Big Boy about where he has been for the past few years, his upcoming Netflix show which is called “The Vince Staples Show” and his new “Ramona Park Broke My Heart” album.
Plus, the hip-hop artist spoke about Eminem, Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Norf Norf, his Sprite commercial, and what he discovered during his time away from music.
At one point of the interview, Vince Staples brought Eminem up as an example to answer a question about if he enjoys doing ‘music business.’
“Put it like this… If I had to choose between to be super successful and not being able to go outside like Eminem type person and working a regular job, I’d be working at the regular job. When you look at people like that and you listen to their music and see just how they interact and the kind of people they are… they are not superficial. Especially when you are talking about Eminem. He is not a superficial person. He is not somebody who cares about that element… he just really loves hip hop music.” – said Vince
Jack Harlow’s highly anticipated sophomore album is here.
Come Home The Kids Miss You arrived with 15 songs that features Lil Wayne on the song titled “Poison,” Justin Timberlake on “Parent Trap,” Drake on “Churchill Downs” and Pharrell Williams on “Movie Star.”
To promote his new album, Jack sat down with DJ Woo Kid on Shade 45 where he talked about Drake, Eminem, Dua Lipa and Bad Bunny.
“Eminem into to Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame? Much respect to the legend! One of my biggest influences. I did remix for him, I did “Killer” remix which I was honored to hop on but I still ain’t shook his hand, you know?” said Harlow on Slim Shady.
After teasing fans with new singles, titled “Show Me Where It Hurts” and “Falling Apart” respectively, Skylar Grey is back with her first self-titled album, the first in six years!
To promote her new album, Skylar spoke with stupidDOPE magazine about reestablishing herself, the power of TikTok, being put in the songwriter box, relationship with Eminem and much more.
You’ve been a part of so many projects and so many hit songs over the years. What’s one song or project you worked on that really affected you the most?
I mean, “Love The Way You Lie”. Obviously, the one that really set my career off and also was the beginning of an amazing relationship with Eminem. He continues to work with me and take my hooks and put them on his albums and it’s really awesome.
It’s great that you guys have maintained this relationship after all this time.
I know, I’m so grateful, he’s the best.
It seems like he really trusts you with your vision and you guys just work so well together. On the other hand, do you ever get tired of people asking you about Eminem?
Yeah.
That’s got to be the go to thing people ask you about.
Yeah it is but you know, I’m grateful for everything he’s done for me and being able to to work so closely with him. So it’s to be expected. It’s okay.
Pusha T has recently visited Morning Hustle Show to promote his new album, It’s Almost Dry.
During the interview, one of the hosts asked him to name a person that people tried to make him diss but he never intended to do so. Here is what King Push replied:
“I saw just recently on Twitter people sayin’ my stuff at Eminem. I’m like ‘BROO!’ It was just misinterpretation something I said before. People decode and think their own thing. Nah man, Em is somebody that I respect. He’s one of the people that I really like what he does because after all of his success I can still find lyricist lounge Eminem. That’s a goal for me, personally.”
J.U.I.C.E., emcee from Chicago, is revered as one of Hip-Hop’s all-time elite freestylers and punchline wordsmiths however, he is also recognized for his fascinating history surrounding Eminem. He contends to be one of three artists who ever defeated Eminem in a battle, among Big Proof and Rhymefest.
In a new interview with 247HH, J.U.I.C.E. details a turn of events around Marshall Mathers that changed Hip-Hop history.
“A very special moment for me was… Well, it started out in Cincinnati when I battled Eminem. I was fortunate enough to beat him. After I beat him, Wendy Day called me and told me she was doing a Rap Olympics competition, and I told her about Eminem. She was like, ‘Who is he?’ I’m like, ‘He is the coldest rapper I have ever heard. We should bring him to Los Angeles.”
“She got us a hotel room, me, him, and Thirstin were basically staying like a room away from each other. So I am in L.A. for the Rap Olympics, it’s Wendy Day’s event. Wendy is a savant visionary who owns a company called Rap Coalition and she was the sole engineer of this Rap Olympics competition. So she got Thirstin Howl, Eminem, me, Kwest Tha Madd Lad and Wordsworth. And she got us all hotel rooms in L.A. So we were all staying by each other, cyphering… It was a crazy time. We ended up giving Eminem’s demo tape to a friend of ours named Evan Bogart who was producing for Interscope at the time. Evan gave the tape to Jimmy Iovine. Apparently, Jimmy had already got the tape from somewhere, and saw it twice. He was like, ‘Wait a minute, I gotta really look at this tape.’ So that’s basically how it happened. Then we all went to The Wake Up Show, ’cause I was gonna go anyway.”
“In Cincinnati, he was a brash young dude who had never lost a battle and so was I. He was basically like, ‘If we battle, it’s gonna be ugly.’ We were at the bar. I ordered like three Heinekens, and I gave him two, and he’s like, ‘Why’d you give me two Heinekens?’ I’m like, ‘Well, you’re Eminem; there’s one for both of y’all.’ So the mental game started there. But I knew he was as good as me – possibly better. But I felt like I had enough to pull it out if we went head-to-head. I never saw what would happen for him ’cause I never saw him getting a record deal, ’cause what we did was underground; we never did it for that. So I never thought we’d go to L.A. and then Dr. Dre, of all people, would hit him and have Jimmy behind it. And then, with Jimmy behind it, it would blow up to a level bigger than anybody else – even Snoop Dogg, and be the number one dude in the world… I never could have thought that.”
In 2017, J.U.I.C.E. publicly challenged Eminem to a battle rematch. More recently, Em’ spoke of J.U.I.C.E. on Mike Tyson’s podcast. “I got all the way to the end of the Scribble Jam battle, and then I lost to this guy named J.U.I.C.E.. To this day he is still a really good f**king rapper. He is so good that it is okay that I lost to him.”
Snoop Dogg has recently appeared on the Full Send Podcast where he talked about many topics, including Eminem.
During the interview, one of the hosts asked if Eminem does anything nowadays, on which Snoop replied: “He do what he has to do. When you have been the biggest rapper in the world for so many years it’s like ‘what more can you do?’ He’s finding his moments now. When he wants to come and when he wants to drop and pop because his fanbase ain’t going nowhere.”
Few seconds later, interviewer asked Snoop how he feels about rappers going at Eminem in disrespectful way: “Those rappers are sitting in the shell right now and one thing what they gonna do is make him pop that motherf**king shell open. People take shots at rappers like that it’s because they are invisible for the moment but that’s the way of getting back visible, when you start poking the bear. He still is who he is. Don’t get it f**ked up. When you poke the bear with your nails, you get your nails broke.”
The Game has recently chatted with Fat Joe at The Big Big Show where the two hip-hop artists talked about Eminem, 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine and more. You can read the conversation about Eminem and watch the video after the jump below:
The Game: When I went through the beef with 50 Cent, Eminem and Dr. Dre had to side with 50. Eminem because Fifty and Shady and Eminem and G-Unit. And I thought Dr. Dre was going to ride with me because its N.W.A, it’s Compton but it’s a business and at 24 years old, I did not know that.
Fat Joe: You know, Eminem is super loyal. I was mad cool with Eminem and when I beefed with 50, he never said nothing about me but he never talked to me and once I squashed the beef with 50, Eminem became my boy again. He’s a loyal mather**ker.
The Game: You were about to go bar for bar with Eminem?
Fat Joe: Nah, come on, that’s Eminem…
The Game: Wait, hold on, you, Fat Joe, can’t go bar for bar with Em?
Fat Joe: Yo, Eminem is dead nice… I would go against anybody but what I’m saying is Eminem was my man. And then when I had beef with 50 Cent, me and Eminem had a track “Lean Back” remix and all that, he just faded back. He didn’t diss 50 or he didn’t diss Fat Joe, he just stayed in the cut once everything got cool he passed it up and showed love again.
Then the two continue talking about The Game saying Kanye West did more for him in two weeks than Dr. Dre in his entire career. You can watch it below:
Bizarre has recently done an interview with VLAD TV where the D12 rapper recalled lots of stories about Eminem and Dirty Dozen, including that one time D12 beating up Esham for mentioning Eminem’s daughter on “Chemical Imbalance” with a following lines: “They won’t let me on MTV I’d beat up Carson Daly and remind Eminem of D’Angelo Bailey, Hailie’s in a coma, Hailie’s in a coma.”
During the interview, Bizarre said: “We were on a world tour. We heard that Esham was going to be on the same tour and they were trying to separate us, they made sure that he went on like five o’clock and we went like eight or nine because they didn’t want us to bump to each other. One day we were performing and he was in a front raw shouting, wearing black mask on and holding cross and s**t and I’m like ‘damn, what the f**k.’ He was like taunting us.”
“One day we were leaving and he was outside with his fans and everybody was in the back of the bus and I was in the front watching TV. I looked out of the window and I see Esham with 40 ounce of bottle with his hand, he got all his fans behind him and was going to throw a bottle at the bus and he threw it. We come out of the bus an get to running to Esham. He was behind this big barbed wire gate so he was thinking like ‘ain’t now way you can get me’ so when we get close Proof just jumped in the air and did this f**king karate kick like BUUM. And in just one kick the gate got open a little bit and Proof slid through it first, went to Esham like ‘come here, bam! come here, bam!’ then Denaun came in, bam, bam, bam, we owned them and after that they kicked us off the tour. But shout out to Esham, that’s my boy, we squashed it. That’s a homie.” – said Bizarre.
Jack Harlow had a whole lot to say in a recent interview with Rolling Stone as the young rapper continues the rollout of his new album “Come Home The Kids Miss You.”
At one point of the interview, Harlow talked about Eminem and criticized fans who criticize Slim Shady’s new music.
“I think Eminem’s music is still forever immortal, and we are gonna get back to it. We are a couple years away from everyone reviving that shit as a culture and being like, ‘Look at this s**t.’ And everyone’s gonna pay their rightful respects again. No matter how the production ages to people, like, he put so much into his words that it immortalized him, even though that s**t aged as ‘circus music’ to some people.” – said Harlow.
Last month, in an interview with Rolling Stone, Louisville, Kentucky-born rapper said: “Not believing is what made Em so hard — he was in the dog pile. I want to be the face of my s**t, like the face of my generation, for these next 10 years. We need more people in my generation that are trying to be the best, and you can not do that with just ear candy, vibe records.”

Rory and Mal has recently chatted with Conway The Machine where he talked about Eminem and his deal with Shady Records.
“I will keep it one hundred. I can’t really talk about how Pau and them do business prior to me. I signed my deal in 2017. We fulfilled our deal but I was never in none of the meetings. I never read a paperwork. I never complained anything. I will keep it one thousand bro I ain’t make no bread off Shady – Griselda – Insterscope deal. I just jumped in a driver’s seat and did good with my albums.” said Conway.
Then he continues: “I gotta shout out Paul and Shady. From what I see he exceeded my expectations. Eminem called me ‘yo ni**a that s**t is a classic bro, I’m listening to classic here. I got two songs left but you might have just dropped a hip-hop classic. Eminem told me like that. I don’t need no money, that’s more than any check anybody could sign me cause I hold Em on that high regard.”
“To be even part of this s**t and then just have my name etched in that history book and being a part of this story that means a lot to me.” Conway added.
In the new interview with Mikey T on Report Card Radio, Bizarre talked about 50 Cent’s beef with Suge Knight, Eminem signing D12 to Shady Records, wanting to battle Gillie Da Kid and much more.
At one point of the interview, Mikey asked the legendary D12 rapper about the possibility of Eminem going back to battle rap. Here is what he replied:
“Back then the battle rap culture was a freestyle. 8 Mile is damn near very description of what it was. It was really like that. Motherf**kers had clicks. Your click was like your game. Kinda how it is like today but back then it was some rap battle s**t. It used to be intense and everybody knew Eminem was the king of all that s**t. He was undefeated. He was like Floyd Mayweather of rap battle s**t… Eminem returning to battle rap? I don’t know if it will ever happen. I can’t never say never.” – said Bizarre.
