Eminem Thinks It’d Be ‘Great’ To Make An Album With 50 Cent: ‘We Just Gotta Stop Bullsh*tting And Do It’

December 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eminem and 50 Cent have been close friends for decades now, but somehow, the two have never sat down and made a full album together. Well, it turns out that’s not completely out of the question, at least from Eminem’s point of view.

In a recent interview on Shade 45, Eminem was asked about the idea of making an album with 50 and he said:

“That would be great. I think we just gotta stop bullsh*tting and just do it. […] I would never say it’s not possible.”

During that same interview, he also spoke about how he thinks Kendrick Lamar will fare at the 2025 Grammys, saying, “It’s very stiff competition. Kendrick is gonna sweep that sh*t. He’s going to, and he should.”

Meanwhile, in a recent interview, 50 spoke about why he doesn’t make much new music these days, saying, “My ideas are getting so big that it’s changing even how I can deliver things. I have to be conscious of what I’m saying or what I’m doing because the idea — it’s going to disrupt my idea. A lot of the music, if you listen to the music that’s out right now, I have to tap into my stupid. I have to tap into the stupid side of me to write the right thing when it comes time to write the music. This is why I haven’t created as much content as I was creating in the past.”

Eminem Has A Bold Prediction For Kendrick Lamar At The 2025 Grammys

December 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar‘s eventful 2024 will continue into 2025 with a Super Bowl Halftime Show performance and what’s expected to be a big night at the Grammys. The rapper is up for Record Of The Year and Song Of The Year for “Not Like Us,” as well as Best Rap Song, among other categories.

Eminem think it’s going to be a clean sweep for Lamar.

“It’s very stiff competition. Kendrick is gonna sweep that sh*t,” he said during SiriusXM’s “Shade 45” 20th anniversary special. “He’s going to, and he should.”

Eminem and Lamar are both nominated for Best Rap Performance, while GNX likely would have been up for Best Rap Album, like The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), but it came out too late to be eligible.

Eminem previously called Kendrick “at the very, very top tier of lyricists. Not just of this generation, but of all time.” Ed Sheeran also once shared a story about how Lamar impressed the “Lose Yourself” rapper:

“Eminem heard that Kendrick Lamar was the best rapper and he invited him to the studio to get him on a song. He arrived and Kendrick came with all his mates and Eminem said, ‘I just want you in the studio, just you on your own and then my engineer is gonna come in and then record you doing it, but your mates aren’t allowed in.’ Kendrick did it, wrote a sick verse, and then everyone came in to listen to it. Eminem said that he did it to test Kendrick because he thought he had a ghostwriter. He then realized that he didn’t then claimed [Kendrick] was the best.”

Eminem Claims Kendrick Lamar Deserves To Sweep Grammy Awards

December 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eminem had a big 2024. The rapper dropped The Death of Slim Shady, his most acclaimed album in years, and scored a few hit singles along the way. Em delighted fans with his rollout, too which included an interview with his titular alter ego. Eminem is likely to secure a few nominations in the rap categories when the Grammy Awards come around in 2025. The thing is, he doesn’t expect to win any of them. He declared Kendrick Lamar the favorite to win each of the rap categories. Straight up: Eminem predicts a K. Dot sweep.

Eminem was asked about the upcoming Grammy Awards during a radio interview on Christmas Eve. The rapper graciously accepted praise for his album, but felt that the competition was stiff in categories that he’d compete in. Kendrick Lamar is the number one reason why. “It’s very stiff competition,” Eminem told the host. “Kendrick’s gonna sweep that sh*t. He’s going to and he should.” Eminem’s humility should not come as a surprise. The rapper has always been open about the artists who inspire him to up his game. He cited Lamar and J. Cole as two people who have compelled him to improve as a rapper over the last decade.

Eminem Considers Kendrick Lamar “Stiff Competition”

“My role in today’s hip hop is to always try to be the best rapper,” Eminem told XXL in 2022. “That’s how I want to feel inside. That’s what I want to feel. I can’t do that until I listen to… what the f*ck did Kendrick just put out?” Eminem says that his desire to be the best rapper alive keeps him recording, and attuned to what people like Lamar drop. “I hyper-focus on people like Kendrick Lamar, Joyner Lucas, J. Cole and Big Sean,” he said. “Watching them and how the f*ck they’re doing their sh*t. Because they’re also focused on being the best rappers.”

The influence goes both ways. Kendrick Lamar has cited Eminem as an influence on his rhyming style in the past. Fans drew comparisons between the two rappers as recently as Lamar’s new album, GNX. Fans felt that Lamar was directly channeling Em on the standout cut “Reincarnated.” It’ll be intriguing to see whether Eminem’s prediction about the upcoming Grammy Awards comes true. Given how many people love GNX, it’s safe bet.

‘Can We Just Lay Down And F*ck,’ Eminem Asks In A Hilarious New Video For Snoop Dogg’s ‘Missionary’ Album

December 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg’s new album with Dr. Dre at the helm, Missionary, is out now, and he’s been having a ton of fun with the promo, given the suggestive nature of the album title. There’s the missionary mix-up teaser video, the condom-inspired album cover art, and now, a terrific new promo video starring Eminem.

The clip, simply filmed in the style of a PSA, sees Eminem talking to the camera, complaining about something he apparently thinks men are tired of. He says:

“Fellas, are you tired of blowjob like I am? I think it’s time to take it back to the basics. Who wants their dick sucked every day? That sh*t can get to you, man. I mean, every day, just [mimes obscene gesture]. Sh*t gets old. It gets boring. Can we just lay down and f*ck? I don’t know why everything’s got to be so f*ckin’ complicated. You don’t have to put your leg over your head.

Snoop Dogg, Missionary: Just f*ckin’. In stereo.”

Eminem’s delivery puts the script over the top, though, so check out the video above.

Meanwhile, Eminem did more for the album than just this promo video, as he and 50 Cent teamed up with Snoop and Dre on the “Gunz N Smoke.”

Eminem Promotes Snoop Dogg’s “Missionary” With Hilarious Commercial

December 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eminem has always used comedy to his advantage. He’s one of the zaniest rappers of all time, as evidenced by his music videos, lyrics, and Slim Shady alter ego. Em may have retired said alter ego on his last album, but he hasn’t lost his sense of humor. The Detroit rapper decided to drop a commercial in promotion of the new Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre album Missionary. Eminem appears on the album, but he doesn’t hype the music up so much as riff on the album’s suggestive title.

The opening line of the commercial is guaranteed to elicit giggles from longtime Eminem fans. “Fellas, are you tired of blowjobs like I am,” he asks with a straight face. The somber delivery and the music that accompanies him evokes a commercial about a serious health issue. “I think it’s time to take it back to the basics,” Eminem adds. “Who wants their d*ck sucked every day?! That sh*t can get to you, man.” The rapper proceeds to mime the sexual act that he’s grown so tired of. “It’s boring,” he exclaims. He does have a solution for those with the same affliction as him, though. And it’s the title of the new Dre and Snoop album.

Eminem Wants Listeners To Go “Back To Basics”

“Can we just lay down and f*ck?,” Eminem aggressively asks. “I don’t know why everything’s gotta be so f*cking complicated. You don’t have to put your leg over your head.” The rapper gives his endorsement to Snoop Dogg’s latest venture. He leaves listeners with another gem of a line: “Just f*cking. In stereo.” Eminem’s promotional game has been strong for most of 2024. The rollout for The Death of Slim Shady included memorable videos with the likes of 50 Cent and magician David Blaine. Em also sat down for a side-splitting interview with his aforementioned Slim Shady alter ego.

Eminem and Snoop Dogg are both Dr. Dre proteges, but they haven’t always been cool. The two rappers actually disliked each other for several years. Eminem told Pod Paul: Curtain Call 2 host Paul Rosenberg that the dislike stemmed from a misunderstanding back in 2000. It wasn’t until Dr. Dre suffered a health scare that Em and Snoop Dogg decided to squash their differences. “I don’t remember if I called him or he called me,” the rapper explained. “But we talked it out.”

Eminem Will Have A Role In Adam Sandler’s Sequel For “Happy Gilmore 2”

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Guess who’s back? Back [on the big screen] again? It’s Eminem, and he’s coming to a major project that’s coming out sometime next year. According to XXL, comedian extraordinaire Adam Sandler made an appearance on the Dan Patrick Show to discuss Happy Gilmore 2. Yes, after nearly 30 years since the original classic, a sequel is currently in the works. In fact, when the interview between Patrick and Sandler was posted online, they were wrapping up filming. Netlfix announced in May of this year they were picking up the project, so it looks like it won’t have a theatrical release. Still, given how many fans adore the inaugural film, it should get a lot of streams.

Speaking about its premiere, that remains to be seen. Sandler was not able to give a clear-cut answer to Patrick when asked. “I don’t know 100%, but I think around July. Not July 4, but we’re trying to get it done in time for July. (But) you never know what’s going to happen. We’re just finishing today.” That was the theme for most of their chat, as Sandler was not able to share a lot of information regarding its plot or characters.

Adam Sandler On Eminem’s Acting Chops

However, he did manage to share some anyway, especially in the cameo department. As we hinted at the beginning, Eminem was going to be involved one way or another. From the sounds of it, he won’t have a major role. But Sandler was very impressed with his work on set. “Eminem was cool. He came by and he was great,” he began.

“He came and was funny as hell. I think we just hung out a day with Eminem. He just shot and shot and it was insane. [He] said a million things that we can use and a million things that we’re glad we have them on tape.” Funny enough, this isn’t the first time that these two have been in a film together. Back in 2009, Slim Shady, Sandler, Leslie Mann, Seth Rogan, and Jonah Hill were in a project called Funny People. Other notable cameos in Happy Gilmore 2 will include Bad Bunny, Travis Kelce, among others.

50 Cent And Eminem Reunite On ‘Gunz N Smoke’ From Snoop Dogg And Dr. Dre’s New Album, ‘Missionary’

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

20 years ago, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, and Eminem were running hip-hop, and all four of them are still getting after it today. In fact, they all just teamed up on “Gunz N Smoke,” a new one from Snoop and Dre’s just-released album, Missionary.

50 spoke about his admiration for Snoop in a recent interview with Big Boy, saying, “I’m a fan, I’m that first. This is why you seen him on ‘P.I.M.P.’ immediately. I’m listening to him and Dre before I could attract from him, you know what I’m saying? It’s an honor to work with him.”

He also recently discussed why he doesn’t make as much new music these days, saying, “A lot of the music, if you listen to the music that’s out right now, I have to tap into my stupid. I have to tap into the stupid side of me to write the right thing when it comes time to write the music. This is why I haven’t created as much content as I was creating in the past, and I started going toward the film production and development of these projects. Because I think I can impact things in a bigger way through that.”

Listen to “Gunz N Smoke” above.

Snoop Dogg And Dr. Dre Deliver The Goods With New Album “Missionary”

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre are the most iconic duo in hip hop history. They broke the mold with “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang” in 1992 and they haven’t looked back. They’ve also managed to keep the bar for their collaborations astoundingly high. 2001 and Compton were musical triumphs. And now we have the long anticipated Missionary, the sequel to Snoop Dogg’s debut, Doggystyle. Making a sequel to a classic is a daunting task, but Snoop and Dre manage to deliver the goods. Is it as good as their best material? Not really, but it’s still excellent.

The album opener, “Fore Play,” is a soulful and lush banger featuring BJ the Chicago Kid. It sets the table by establishing a laid back and G-Funk anchored sound. It works perfectly. The singles have been hit or miss, especially the Sting collaboration “Another Part of Me.” Fortunately, the gimmickry is at a minimum throughout the album. Missionary plays it straight, while allowing Snoop Dogg to flex his chemistry with a ton of superstar guests. 50 Cent and Eminem shine on the posse cut “Gunz N Smoke,” and Dr. Dre does his thing on his trio of guest verses. “Outta da Blue” is probably the standout cut in terms of Dre rhymes. Unlikely features also deliver, whether it be Jelly Roll or the late, great Tom Petty. Missionary can feel a bit like a kitchen sink album, sometimes, but the final product is a lot of fun.

Let us know what you think of this brand new album, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Eminem Pays Tribute To His Late Mother In Low-Key Fashion At His Recent Concert

December 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eminem’s relationship with his mother, Debbie Nelson, was certainly not the easiest a son could ask for. When one of your own, especially your caretaker, sues you for alleged defamation, it certainly hits a little harder. That was just one rough patch that these two went through, but time managed to take away some of the disdain for the Detroit MC. In the mid-2010s, Slim Shady did show some signs of remorse for the harsh words and actions he directed toward her. His 2013 song “Headlights” featuring Nate Ruess was a sign of him trying to turn things around.

Mrs. Nelson also began to show more love than hateful energy by congratulating her superstar son for his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction two years ago. “Marshall, I want to say, I could not let this day go by without congratulating you on your induction into the Hall of Fame. I love you very much. I knew you’d get there. It’s been a long ride. I’m very, very proud of you.”

Eminem Couldn’t Bring Himself To Perform “Without Me” In Full

It’s very unfortunate that it’s unsure where their relationship was standing prior to Debbie’s death last week. But based on those previous examples and this most recent one, it seems that they were in maybe the best place they had been for quite some time. According to Uproxx, Em had a big concert in Abu Dhabi at their F1 Grand Prix raceway just a few days after she tragically lost her battle to advanced lung cancer.

During the performance, he made sure to pay some sort of tribute to her, doing so during “Without Me.” Most remember the controversial lyric, “F*** you Debbie!” However, Eminem decided to skip that and let the crowd shout it out instead. It might not be the perfect way to go about it, but him making the subtle change is definitely better. He has yet to publicly comment on Debbie’s passing. During this time, we are continuing to wish the best for him and his loved ones.
