Snoop Dogg & Eminem Squash Their ‘Beyond’ Beef
Source: 2020HHA / Getty Looks like that weird and unexpected plant-based beef between Eminem and Snoop Doggy Dogg is officially cooked. Things between the two went left after Snoop Dogg left the G.W.O.A.T. off his All-Time Top 10 Rappers list a few weeks back during an interview with The Breakfast Club. Naturally Slim Shady caught feelings and threw some jabs at The Doggfather on his recently released cut “Zeus” where he rapped “Last thing I need is Snoop doggin’ me/ Man, Dogg, you was like a (Yeah) damn god to me/Nah, not really (Haha)/I had “dog” backwards/But I’m startin’ to think, all these people takin’ shots at me.” Snoop was less than impressed and clapped back at Em for his “soft a** sh*t” he called bars. But things between the two iconic rappers seem to be on the up and up again a...
Royce da 5’9 Boots ‘The Source’ Co-Founder Dave Mays Out Clubhouse Room Over Eminem Beef
Source: Catherine McGann / Getty It is a well-documented fact that Royce da 5’9 and Eminem are close friends in Hip-Hop and that their connection is more of a brotherhood than anyone on the outside can understand. While hosting a Clubhouse chat, Nickel Nine got into some funk with The Source co-founder Dave Mays regarding Slim Shady which got testy. As Clubhouse becomes one of the hottest spaces online for industry minds to meet and, at times, hash out their varying opinions, fans are uploading the previously privatized chats to social media, especially when veer off into the spicy side.

Snoop Dogg Taunts Eminem On Instagram For “Soft Ass Sh*t” Lyrics On “Zeus”
Source: Tim Mosenfelder / Getty Snoop Dogg and Eminem are kicking off the new year with new beef and it’s not staying respectful. Over the weekend an Eminem fan account captioned a post on Instagram asking if Snoop was being “disrespectful” when he said during an interview in July that he could live without Slim Shady’s music, amongst other flagrant comments. Catching wind of the post, Snoop jumped in the post to slam Em and the song “Zeus” from his deluxe album Music To Be Murdered By – Side B released last month. “Pray I don’t answer that soft ass Sh*t,” he taunted in the comments. The song in question calls out the Long Beach legend directly. “And, as far as squashin’ beef, I’m used to people knockin’ me/But, just not in my camp/I’m ...
Eminem Pins Offensive Rihanna Lyric Jab On Learning How To Rap Again After Overdose
Source: Sheri Determan/WENN.com / WENN Eminem has always lived on the edge when it came to his lyrics, with his unsuspecting targets often blindsided by the barbs. After apologizing for one such offensive jab at Rihanna that he’s since apologized for, Slim Shady says that the R&B singer’s name drop was due to him learning how to rhyme words again. In a talk with SiriusXM’s Gray Rizzy, Eminem explained that the lyrics aimed at the Barbadian superstar were recorded during the early sessions for the Relapse album and that he isn’t sure how the verse got out to the public. “It was pretty recently that that verse had leaked and, honest to God, I told Paul [Rosenberg] when it first happened I was like first I didn’t know how somebody got it,” Eminem began. “I have no, zero recollection of ev...
Royce Da 5’9 Speaks Truth About Harmless Lil Pump After Struggle Rapper Comes For Eminem
Source: Catherine McGann / Getty Absolutely no one in their right mind thinks Lil Pump is in the same league as Eminem. Nevertheless, the Trump-supporting rapper dissed Slim Shady, and was promptly read for filth by the rapper’s fellow Detroit native and buddy Royce Da 5’9. You may have seen Lil Pump roll with the tired “Rapper X is old” cliche to try to diss the Hip-Hop legend. “F*ck Eminem, you is lame as hell,” said the “Gucci Gang” struggle rapper. “Ain’t nobody listening to your old ass. You is lame as f*ck bitch.” Sound like he’s still made from when Em hurled a jab his way back in 2018 on “The Ringer.” Afterwards, Royce took to his IG to issue a statement on the matter. “I’ll slap them glasses so far off his face, they’ll land in a whole nother genre…” wrote Nickel Nine. “Not cuz I’...

Watch Eminem Make a Cameo in SNL Christmas-Themed ‘Stan’ Parody ‘Stu’
Saturday Night Live returned from its Thanksgiving hiatus this weekend with an episode hosted by Jason Bateman. Among the show’s highlights was a holiday-themed parody of Eminem’s famous “Stan” video starring Pete Davidson as an obsessed Santa fan named Stu who really wants a PS5 for Christmas. Kate McKinnon is featured as Dido (read: Stu’s mom) and Bowen Yang plays Elton John; however, the real Slim Shady does make a cameo at the end. Watch the “Stu” sketch below. [embedded content] We commemorated the Marshall Mathers LP’s 20th anniversary earlier this year with a reflection of that time in Eminem’s career.

The 35 Best Albums of the Last 35 Years
Let’s face it: With most “Best Albums” lists, you know the broad strokes of the ranking before you even click. Part of that predictability is understandable: Most iconic records earn their reputation. But these rankings shouldn’t be fossilized, and a shit-ton of amazing LPs have been shoved aside in the pursuit of maintaining the status quo. We didn’t ignore the unimpeachable on our list — you’ll see plenty of the staples you’ve come to expect. But we also hope we’ll spark your curiosity and encourage you to hunt for a title you may have missed over the last 35 years. 35.

The Most Influential Artists: #25 Eminem
As part of our 35th-anniversary, we’re naming the most influential artists of the past 35 years. Today, we’re at #26. From Detroit, Michigan here is Eminem. CREDIT: J. Shearer/WireImage Marshall Mathers. Slim Shady. Eminem. An unholy trinity embodied by the blonde-haired, blue-eyed best-selling solo rapper of all time. For better or worse, Eminem kicked the door in for white rappers at the dawn of the millennium. After critics investigated and Jim Carrey eviscerated Vanilla Ice, Eminem battled to the top of every doubting cipher from Detroit to L.A. When Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine discovered him, he took the antagonism, shock, comedy and verbal dexterity of battle rap and made it commercial. His Aftermath debut, The Slim Shady LP, and its darker, horrorcore-leaning sequel, The Marshall Mathe...
50 Cent Imagines Mock Meat Political Beef Between Eminem & Lil Wayne
Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Election Day is upon us and like clockwork, lines are being drawn in the political sand right before our eyes. Sensing this natural divide, 50 Cent took it as a moment to imagine a mock meat beef between Eminem and Lil Wayne given their political affiliations of late. The artist born Curtis Jackson rarely misses a moment to troll, doing so via his favored tool of social media to get some jokes off at someone else’s expense. Using a photo of a Black man holding a large confederate facing off against a white man with a Black Lives Matter sign, Fif captioned the image “Wanye vs. Eminem” with a laughing emoji. Recently, Wayne has joined an alarmingly growing list of rappers who have put their faith into President Donald Trump. On the reverse, Eminem gave Joe Biden a...
You Mad Bro?: Benzino Goes On Salty Twitter Rant Against Eminen
Source: Marcus Ingram / Getty Unless you are Ja Rule and 50 Cent time has proven to be the healer all Hip-Hop beefs. Unfortunately Benzino still wants all the smoke with Eminem. As spotted on Hot New Hip Hop the Boston rapper and reality show star still very much feels a way about his infamous Rap rival. Earlier this week the “Bootee” rapper took to social media to make it clear he still does not bear witness to Slim Shady’s greatness. He started throwing salt rocks at his fans saying, “Face it stans y’all will always be hip hop goofiest most out of touch fan base Rolling on the floor laughing straight bozos,” he wrote. “All Stans are ugly awkward pussies that aren’t accepted in the real black culture because of how goofy and out of touch they are in the streets.” The venom would be q...
