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. Slim Shady also made our “35 Most Influential Artists of the Past 35 Years” list, coming in at number 25. SNL plans to air two more episodes before the year’s...
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.

With love songs, of course. ...
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...
Joe Biden Uses Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” In New Campaign Ad
Source: YouTube / Youtube Forgive the sports analogy, but we’re in the 4th quarter with about two minutes left, so Joe Biden is pulling out all the stops. Today (Nov. 2), the Democratic Presidential candidate dropped a new campaign ad that features Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” as its musical backdrop. “Lose Yourself” was first released in 2002 as the lead single to the 8 Mile Soundtrack to Slim Shady’s loosely autobiographical film of the same name and eventually became the Detroit rapper’s first No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100. The song also won an Academy Award for Best Original song and a Grammy Award for Best Rap Song & Best Rap Solo Performance. It only makes sense that Biden use the song considering Michigan is a battleground state during this year’s election. The bl...
Eminem’s ‘Lose Yourself’ Soundtracks New Campaign Ad for Biden
In this most fractious of election years, when artists are lambasting politicians for using their songs, Eminem has endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden by allowing his 2002 classic “Lose Yourself” to be used in a new 45-second Biden campaign ad. Released the day before the election (Nov. 2), Em tweeted his support for the Democratic candidate by sharing the video featuring the track — which includes footage of Biden at a rally in Michigan, along with black-and-white footage of voters — with the caption “One opportunity… #Vote” See the video below.

Westside Gunn Remarks On The Lack Of Shady Records Promotion
Source: Jeremy Moeller / Getty If there is anything that has remained true in the Hip-Hop industry, it’s that signing to a rapper’s label can either be a gift or a curse. While we’re no closer to knowing if the Griselda Records partnership with Shady Records has been fruitful for the Buffalo, N.Y. outfit, it appears that there could be some rumblings of an issue afoot if Westside Gunn‘s response to a social media post is any indication. With Who Made The Sunshine, Gunn’s formal debut with the Interscope-backed label helmed by Eminem, it has been hailed by several critics as one of his better works in a year where he’s arguably released two other projects in the album Pray For Paris and the mixtape Flygod is an Awesome God II to measurable acclaim. However, the eagle eyes over at Hot New Ne...
The 50 Best Songs of the Year 2000
The year 2000 looms large in pop culture history: the Y2k non-scare, the Seinfeld “Newmannium” episode, the “In the Year 2000″ sketch from Conan O’Brien’s original late-night show, the Hulu series PEN15. And just like, say, the grunge-defined 1991, the year immediately conjures specific sounds: gleaming teen-pop, earnest radio rock, the Neptunes and Timbaland. There’s never a bad time to revisit this music. But in the middle of a pandemic, with America on the verge of collapse, it feels extra comforting — a blast of nostalgia for a time when you could safely exit your home, visit your local mall’s Sam Goody and buy Mystikal’s “Shake Ya Ass” CD single. For this list, our only criteria was that the songs appear on albums or soundtracks released in 2000. Here we go. 50. Papa Roach, “Last Reso...
