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

by

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 Offers His New Signee Grip Sage Advice On ‘Walkthrough!’

by

Eminem‘s Shady Records has had a bumpy go of it over the years, as the label’s head honcho’s star power seemingly overpowered the shine from every new member of the roster, from Cashin and Stat Quo to Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf. Lately, though, it seems that the imprint has regrouped somewhat, recruiting members of Buffalo-based Griselda Records, Compton’s Westside Boogie, and most recently, Atlanta rapper Grip, who released his debut album for the label, I Died For This!?, today.

Naturally, Eminem appears on the album to show his newest artist some support, delivering a rapid-fire verse full of sage advice for the younger rapper. To be honest, it’s probably one of Em’s most coherent and focused verses in years, and you love to see him showing support for an up-and-coming prospect rather than trying to compete with him. “No pun intended, but GRIP, hold on to this moment,” he advises. “‘Cause soon as you reach the top, they gon’ want you to fall from it.”

It’s similar to Em’s progress on the “Side B” deluxe version of Music To Be Murdered By and his recent “Killer” remix featuring Cordae and Jack Harlow. He’s taking a longer view of the rap game — even though he still finds time to give the long-dead Autotune horse a couple more kicks for some reason — and as for Grip? Not only is his career in good hands, but he’s also showing he’s got the talent to take it far into the future, big-name co-signs or not.

Listen to Grip’s “Walkthrough!” featuring Eminem above.
