Fans Remind Jay-Z That Eminem Out-Rapped Him On “The Blueprint”

by

Jay-Z celebrated the 22-year-anniversary of his 2001 LP, The Blueprint yesterday. Unfortunately, social media users hopped online to remind him that Eminem out-rapped him on his own record. They even compared their “Renegade” collab to 9/11, as the album was released on the same day as the attacks. Though it was far from the first time this argument was brought up, Eminem fans were certainly out in full-force yesterday.

“Y’all remember 9/11 because it was an tragedy on American soil,” one Twitter user writes. “I remember 9/11 because it’s the day Eminem murdered Jay-Z.” It didn’t stop there, however. Another user writes, “Today in History: September 11, 2001 a Horribly tragedy took place in America that humanity will never forget or fully recover from. Jay Z Dropped his Most iconic album ‘The Blueprint’ just for EMINEM to completely wash him on it.” Countless others also weighed in, noting how Snoop Dogg even claimed he wouldn’t put Eminem on one of his songs after watching what happened to Jay-Z on “Renegade.”

Though Eminem fans continue to argue that he got “murdered” on “Renegade,” many continue to believe that Jay-Z is the greatest of all time. Last week, Juvenile spoke on his longstanding debate with Lil Wayne at BMI’s R&B/Hip-Hop Awards in Miami. “We’ve argued over the years,” Juvenile explained. “He say JAY-Z the G.O.A.T., I say he the G.O.A.T. My lil’ bro the greatest rapper of all time. He know how I feel about that.”

The Blueprint‘s anniversary isn’t the only thing Jay-Z celebrated recently. Last week, he also celebrated his wife Beyonce’s birthday. She shared photos from her Renaissance show in LA, posing alongside Jay-Z as she enjoyed her disco ball-themed birthday cake. She recently brought her world tour to LA for the first time, which of course brought in a slew of celebrity guests. Her husband was even spotted teaching Kris Jenner how to do the electric slide in the audience.

Machine Gun Kelly Dropped A Diss Track Aimed At Jack Harlow Over The Beat Of Jay-Z’s 2001 Song ‘Renegade’

by

Jack Harlow may go to extreme measures to weasel his way out of interviews. However, he holds nothing back when it comes to trash-talking both on-screen and in his music. In his song, “They Don’t Love It,” featured on his latest album, Jackman, the rapper declared himself the “hardest white boy since the one who rapped about vomit and sweaters.” That was clearly a reference to Eminem and it prompted fans to flood social media with their thoughts on the matter. Now rapper-turned-rockstar Machine Gun Kelly is chiming in.

Instead of firing off a series of tweets, Machine Gun Kelly took it back to the essence of rap by dropping a diss track aimed at Harlow. Ironically enough, the diss was performed over the beat of Jay-Z’s 2001 song “Renegade,” which featured Eminem, his longtime rival. Throughout the freestyle, the musician takes subtle jabs, but near the end of the track, he goes in for the haymaker.

“I’m a great white I can eat these barracuda / See who I am? You’re stupid, it’s nice to meet you / I just put this hole in the ground for you like a soccer cleat shoe / I see why they call you Jackman, you jacked man’s whole swag / Give Drake his flow back, man, I eat rappers like Pac-Man / Must I regurgitate and show you who’s in my stomach / From the Last Dance? I battle rapped, no Instagrams,” raps Kelly.

Despite pouring all his energy into his creative endeavors late last year, Kelly ensured that he “never departed” from his rap music roots. This freestyle is just another example of that sentiment.

Machine Gun Kelly Raps Over JAY-Z & Eminem’s “Renegade” In New Freestyle

by

Machine Gun Kelly shared a new freestyle on Saturday in which he raps over JAY-Z’s The Blueprint track, “Renegade,” featuring Eminem. Despite his beef with Eminem, the song doesn’t include any direct shots at the rapper, although he does take aim at Jack Harlow. Harlow had recently claimed to be the “hardest white boy” since Eminem on his “They Don’t Love It” track. Harlow released the song on his latest album, Jackman, which he dropped last month.

MGK shared his new freestyle on Instagram. “Never been afraid to say what’s on my mind at any given time of day. New cypher out now,” he captioned the post. He also introduced the song by explaining that he was recording it in a friend’s backyard.

Machine Gun Kelly Disses Jack Harlow On “Renegade Freestyle”

As for the Harlow diss, Kelly raps, “I’m a Great White / I could eat these Barracudas / I see why they call you Jackman / You jacked man’s whole swag / Give Drake his flow back, man.” It’s unclear why Kelly has decided to diss Harlow, as TMZ describes the two as being friends. Back in 2020, Kelly even appeared on a remix to Harlow’s “What’s Poppin.”

As for Kelly’s relationship with Eminem, the two have had beef for many years. The animosity stems from a tweet Kelly posted about Eminem’s daughter, Hailie Mathers, back in 2012. Kelly later dissed him on Tech N9ne’s 2018 song “No Reason.” In response, Eminem took aim at him on his Kamikaze song, “Not Alike.” He rapped, “He wants to keep up his tough demeanour / So he does a feature, decides to team up with N9na (Yeah) / But next time you don’t gotta use Tech N9ne / If you wanna come at me with a sub, Machine Gun / And I’m talkin’ to you But you already know who the fuck you are, Kelly / I don’t use sublim’s and sure as fuck don’t sneak-diss / But keep commenting on my daughter Hailie I keep on telling motherfuckers / But, just in case you forgot really and need Ja memories jarred / like strawberry or pineapple apricot jelly / I respond rarely, but this time Shady ’bout to sound off.”

Quotable Lyrics:

The truth is my closest tried to cross me like Judas
But can’t cross me like I’m Jewish
The Crosshair’s a little shakey, they missed me by two inch
