Parables (Remix) Archives

Cordae shows love to Eminem for “Parables” remix

Cordae and Eminem reflect on their personal histories for the remix of Cordae’s November 2020 single “The Parables,” from From a Birds Eye View album, which was the soundscape for a Beats by Dre commercial featuring tennis player Naomi Osaka, who is Cordae’s girlfriend.

In the first verse, Cordae reminisces upon the past states of morbidity and poverty he was once familiar with, acknowledging that the vast majority are incapable of empathizing or relating to his struggles. Remarking upon his successes, Cordae demonstrates how fame enables the avoidance of institutionalization in the second verse.

Eminem delivers a braggadocios and confrontational verse, reflecting upon his past and just how unprecedented the level of success he’s accomplished once seemed to him. Addressing his critics/competitors with animosity, Shady ironically enough acknowledges feelings of having a “red dot” on his head as a result of every word delivered throughout his career.

“Parables” are a story or comparison involving multiple things – making the title of the song itself a self-explanatory double-entendre.

“Parables is already a song that was, like, I sent it to Eminem, it’s already out. When I made Parables, I knew Eminem’s vocal tone would sound good on that, because the beat is like that eerie vibe with some Slim Shady Marshall Mathers LP sort of vibe, so I knew his vocal tone would thrive on that.” – said Cordae in an interview on Apple Music.

Yesterday, Cordae went on his Instagram to show the appreciation to Eminem for doing the remix of the song for his own album: “This s**t still crazy to me. A ni**a got Eminem on his album.” Cordae captioned.

Cordae responds to Tiktoker who criticized Eminem’s “Michelle Obama” line

Few days ago, Cordae released a new album titled “From A Bird’s Eye View” and it includes a remix version of “Parables,” featuring Eminem.

In the song, Eminem raps: “I was painfully shy, now I’m proud of myself / Like Obama’s kids, I came outta my shell (Michelle)”

Em uses “My Shell” as the wordplay of “Michelle.” He is happy that he came out of his shell (Got over his tough times) which is compared with Obama’s daughters coming out of his wife (Giving birth).

Some of the TikTok users criticized Eminem for inappropriate use of words, with Joey Hip-Hop saying: “Ain’t no way Eminem actually thought this was a bar.”

Cordae responded in the comments: “It’s definitely a bar and I’m not just saying that cuz he on my album lol”

Popular tiktoker and hip-hop artist who goes by the name Tyrese Pope also commented: “It’s a bar, you trippin'”

Joe Budden says Eminem & Kendrick Lamar song is terrible, discusses Em’s verse on Cordae’s album

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.

Cordae calls Eminem one of his biggest influences, talks how “Parables” remix came together

Cordae has recently released a new album From A Bird’s Eye View which included a song “Parables” (Remix), featuring Eminem.

To promote his new project, Cordae visited Nessa’s show where he talked about the album and having multiple conversations with Eminem:

“Eminem did an interview [with Kxng Crooked] and he was really like ‘I really rock with Cordae, he is one of my favorite new artists.’ To summarize what he said. He basically gave me a lot of love and the fact that he knows who I am and likes my music that I put out, that was already enough for me. He reached out to put me on “Killer Remix” [with Jack Harlow] and I was like ‘yo I am gonna send you something as well.’ We had a phone conversation. We talked for like an hour and a half. It was a really dope conversation. We were just talking about Hip-Hop and everything. It was a great conversation and he was like ‘yo we got to work too you know, If you need something… We did not talk about music until like the very end and he was like yo whatever you need from me I got you, we definitely gotta get in some work so It was very dope.”

“Eminem is like the biggest, in terms of pure sales and success, like he is the biggest rap artist of all time. Straight up. And other than sales and success commercially and all these other things he is like one of my early influences in music. Those first two albums man [The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP], like every artist that raps with some sort of dexterity or lyricism, takes notes from those first two albums, I guarantee. So it’s definitely blessing have him on there for sure.” said Cordae.

“Matter of fact, I just text him, I sent him a voicemail like I appreciate you, bro.” – He added
