VMAs 2022: Eminem and Snoop Dogg Trip Through the Metaverse
Eminem and Snoop Dogg took a trip through the proverbial metaverse during their MTV Video Music Awards performance of “From the D 2 the LBC” tonight (Aug. 28). Much like in the song’s recent music video, the veteran rappers transformed from human into animated Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT characters. This time out, the segment began with Eminem and Snoop relaxing on a couch while the latter puffed on a comically oversized joint. The fumes apparently sent Eminem hurtling into a virtual world, where he and Snoop flew through midair from great heights and commandeered a weaponized flying car. The real artists finished the song in front of the similarly real VMAs audience at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. Eminem and Snoop performed “From the D 2 the LBC” for the first time on June 23 during...
The Game Drops 10-Minute Eminem Diss Track “The Black Slim Shady”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Cooper Neill / Getty It’s new music Friday and though artists like Megan Thee Stallion, Rod Wave and Corde dropped off new projects, The Game has been the talk of social media. Not only because of his own latest album, Drillmatic, but because of a lengthy diss song featured on his lengthy LP. Months after challenging Eminem to do a Verzuz with him, The Game has taken things up a notch by dropping a 10-minute diss track dubbed “The Black Slim Shady” in which he mimics Eminem’s style throughout the cut while slandering him saying “And my d*ck stay hard when I see Lizzo on the internet (another BBM) / my d*ck get little on the internet / my intellect is NFT’s and crypto’s, I could never be a Crip though / I tip-toe with my red rag around 6-O’s.” Looks like W...

Snoop Dogg, Eminem Transform Into Bored Apes on New Single, Video
Snoop Dogg and Eminem have teamed for a new single, “From the D 2 the LBC,” accompanied by a video in which they transform from human into animated Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT characters. The veteran rappers performed the track live for the first time last night (June 23) during ApeFest at New York’s Pier 17. [embedded content][embedded content] Although Snoop previously appeared in tandem with Dr. Dre, Nate Dogg and Xzibit on “Bitch Please II” from Eminem’s 2000 album The Marshall Mathers LP, this is the first time the two artists have released a song with just the two of them. Snoop, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige also performed together earlier this year as part of the Super Bowl halftime show. The “From the D 2 the LBC” video appears to tease the upcoming release of Emi...

Wack 100 Says The Game Is About To Drop A Record Dissing Eminem
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin C. Cox / Getty A few weeks ago The Game made some waves when he stated that he was a superior artist to Eminem. And while Slim Shady is remaining mum on Chuck Taylor’s proclamation, he might have to stand up for himself sometime soon if what Wack 100 just said happens to be true. During a recent conversation on Clubhouse, Wack 100 revealed that The Game is gearing up to drop a song dissing Eminem after being asked what Game’s first single was going to be introducing to the masses.

Of Course Fox News Takes Issue With Eminem Taking A Knee At The Super Bowl
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: VALERIE MACON / Getty Many people figured that the Hip-Hop led Super Bowl Halftime Show was bound to rub conservatives and Trumpians the wrong way, one way or another. But when Eminem took a knee on stage (whether to pay homage to Tupac or Colin Kaepernick), y’all just knew the far-right was going to flip their MAGA lids. During a Fox News segment led by anchor Joe Concha, he discussed the “controversial” moment at the Super Bowl Halftime Show with an all-female panel and after taking a few shots at Colin Kaepernick, Concha asserted that Eminem shouldn’t have taken the stage if he planned on taking a knee the whole time. “If he truly wanted to be courageous here, he could’ve protested by not performing at the halftime show at all,” Concha said. “Instead h...
Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar Tear the House Down During Super Bowl Halftime Show
Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar took the Super Bowl LVI stage during halftime and unsurprisingly tore the house down. They stampeded through a slew of their greatest hits, with Dre and Snoop serving as the de facto emcees. The Super Bowl Halftime Show was befitting for the Big Game, which took place at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium. Opening with Dre and Snoop’s “The Next Episode,” the stage was a replica studio, house and buildings that served as a tribute to Los Angeles. They went into “California Love” before 50 Cent popped up to perform a verse from “In Da Club.” Following Fiddy’s cameo, Blige hit the stage for “Family Affair” and “No More Drama.” Then Kendrick Lamar hopped on stage for “m.a.a.d. city” and “Alright.” Eminem (who would take a knee in support of...
