Source: Kevin.Mazur/INACTIVE / Getty Snoop Dogg has earned the right to be a stern critic of his peers given the fact he is a living legend in the realm of Hip-Hop by all accounts. In a recent interview, the Doggfather rightfully gave praise to Eminem as a top-tier lyricist but says he doesn’t even crack his top 10. Sitting with The Breakfast Club, the D-O-Double-G spoke his mind as he’s known to do regarding his mentor and producer, Dr. Dre, who gave the Long Beach, Calif. OG his big break back in the early ’90s and broke the career of several other artists after his tenure with N.W.A. was in the rearview. When the conversation turned to Dr. Dre’s massive influence and legendary status as a producer, Snoop passionately championed his longtime friend by noting his ear for talent and how he...
A trio of tracks from Juice WRLD’s posthumous album release Legends Never Die (Polydor) are pushing for top 20 berths on the U.K. singles chart. Following the weekend’s sales and streaming activity, the hip-hop artist’s “Come & Go” with Marshmello flies in at No. 10 on the Official Chart: First Look.

On Monday, June 22 an alternate version of Conway The Machine’s “Bang” leaked over the weekend. On the track Eminen takes some pointed shots at the Revolt TV. “Yeah, shout to Puffy Combs, but f*** REVOLT / y’all are like a fucked up remote / now I get it why our button’s broke / cause you pressing the heat but do nothing though / especially when it comes to punch this throne” he rapped.

While Eminem has been included on others’ lists for great rappers of all time, who would be his G.O.A.T.? Over the weekend, someone randomly tweeted and asked him that very question. But what surprised everyone wasn’t that Marshall Mathers actually responded. Instead, it was who was on his list. And he couldn’t just name one. “For me, in no particular order… Toss up between wayne, pac, royce, jay, redman, treach, g. rap, biggie & king crook…. [sic],” he tweeted. He also added, “Plus redman, LL, nas, joyner, kendrick, cole, andre, rakim, kane…[sic].” Now we’re not thinking that he noted Redman twice because he thinks the Muddy Waters rapper was the GOAT but more that Eminem wanted to ensure he was on the list. What’s interesting is that he praises hip-hop artists from across the years —...

I just don’t have the rage I did back then.”– Eminem, 2017 Vulture interview “It sounded like something Stephen King would write.
