Eminem Brings On WESTSIDE BOOGIE & GRIP For A “Shady Edition” Of “Fuel”

September 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

WESTSIDE BOOGIE and GRIP are two names on Eminem’s Shady Records that have shown off just how gifted they are. Both have great lyrical abilities and those are on full display on “Fuel – Shady Edition”. If you heard the original version of The Death of Slim Shady, you would remember that Eminem and JID shared the song of the same name. Overall, it’s one of the biggest highlights, if not the biggest, for us on the album.

At first, the debate was purely between who had the stronger verse on the inaugural “Fuel”. Some were even dubbing JID the winner and labeling it the best guest appearance of the year. Now, that back-and-forth has to be extended to just which version is more complete. WESTSIDE BOOGIE and GRIP make the most of their time on this tweaked track, rapping with elite proficiency about being counted out but never out for the count. Of course, sticking to “Fuel” “tradition”, Em’s got more bars for Diddy. We are also messing with the slightly darker and more low-key production switch-up too. In the end, we need some more listens, but the “Shady Edition” is giving the original a run for its money.

“Fuel – Shady Edition” – Eminem, WESTSIDE BOOGIE & GRIP

Quotable Lyrics:

I say the feelin’ I get from me killin’ a rapper just show me that Heaven exist
Shootin’ ’til ain’t nothin’ left in the clip, shootin’ ’til I get respect in this b****
I might just go get a Tec in this b****, I might just go at the ref in this b****
Guessing you think this s*** new to me, huh? Guess you ain’t know what’s fuelin’ me, huh?
I just had enemies shoot at me, tell me, just what could this industry do to me, huh?
Helpin’ the hood and the homies and plus the community think that it’s two of me, huh?

Eminem & 2 Chainz Are Hip-Hop’s “Kyrie & Luka” On New Expanded Edition Cut

September 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eminem has delivered the Expanded Mourner’s Editon of his newest record The Death of Slim Shady with four new songs. Right after the emotional closing cut “Somebody Save Me”, it leads into a Steve Berman skit which essentially says that Slim Shady will always be around in some capacity. After that, fans will be treated to a remix of “Fuel” with Shady signees WESTSIDE BOOGIE and GRIP. Next is “Like My S***” and then, Eminem wraps things up with “Kyrie & Luka”. This cut features another previous collaborator in 2 Chainz, albeit a one-timer.

Prior to this, we heard them together on the remix of “Chloraseptic” that also featured PHresher. Sort of like the title suggests, “Kyrie & Luka” is essentially a track that displays how lethal of a one-two punch they are in hip-hop. They don’t trade bars, but they do both go on lengthy verses, just like how Irving and Doncic can go on extensive scoring runs on the basketball court. Also involved with this track is the legendary DJ Premier, and this is his first-ever full beat he’s made for Eminem. This track also plays into the “Kyrie & Luka” theme with the instrumental. For Tity Boi, he rides an interpolation of Eric B. & Rakim’s “Move the Crowd”. As for Em, he tackles more of traditional trap-like backdrop. Check out the track with the link below.

“Kyrie & Luka” – Eminem & 2 Chainz

Quotable Lyrics:

I hit you in the f***in’ head with the mic stand
I f*** my girl in the daytime on a nightstand
You ain’t know that, did ya?
Real recognize real and you don’t look familiar
I’m from Riverdale Road, we ain’t got no river
Got the pole concealed behind the partition, listen
