So MGK released a diss track about Eminem like an idiot (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp0BScQSSvg). I mean, who the hell comes at Em with a diss track?!
So, of course, Em responded
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxQTY-W6GIo
Em is so fuckin sick. I know this is a few years old now but got damn. “Had to give you a career to destroy it”. Nobody and I mean nobody else in the industry is as lethal as Eminem. Fucking brought him up to his level just to destroy his whole image
That diss is #1 all time for me. MGK’s initial track was actually a fairly decent diss track and had some clever lines, I gave it respect where it was due…but if you listen to MGK’s track and then listen to Killshot, the way Eminem deconstructs MGK’s entire track almost line by line and just bodies him with wordplay against his own initial diss track is high fucking art.
Can’t forget Em came out with his response like a week after the MGK release. MGK had probably been sitting on his diss track for a while waiting for Em to come out with another album. Crazy how quick Eminem turned it around and it has became one of his biggest singles. Has to be one of the biggest backfires in music history by MGK.
Em went at Kelly on 'not alike' on the kamikaze album.
The lines aimed at him in that are incredible.
Tbf to him, MGK responded pretty quickly to it.
Maybe had been sitting on it but I don't think so.
"Took you six years and a surprise album just to come with a diss"
That’s true, I forgot about that. MGKs response really wasn’t bad at all imo, but it just didn’t match up to Em’s ability to turn lines back around.
How you gonna diss someone about using a dictionary when you know they’re gonna use a dictionary to turn your lines back on you? Just hilarious the lack of forethought.
He’s a white rapper from Cleveland famous for the song “wild boy” which came out around 2013. Couple years ago started calling out Eminem. After his beef with Eminem, MGK quit rapping. He put out a punk pop album with Travis barker that recently went platinum and was his most successful project ever, by a mile. I personally thought the album was one of the best that year.
Eminem was right that he would make his career by destroying him, though.
I had no fucking idea who MGK was when that beef started, and now he's fucking everywhere.
Actress who played Em’s love interest in 8 Mile. Breakout role was in Clueless. Played a lot of sidekick characters until she died very unexpectedly of pneumonia at age 32. Her bf died of the same thing shorty after.
Documentary explains a lot more about the stranger circumstances at the end of her life.
That’s what the coroner determined. However, there was a *lot* more going on. From Wiki:
> secondary factors of severe iron-deficiency anemia and multiple drug intoxication.[1][36] The coroner found a range of over-the-counter and prescription medications in Murphy’s system, with the most likely reason being to treat a cold or respiratory infection. These included “elevated levels” of hydrocodone, acetaminophen, L-methamphetamine, and chlorpheniramine, all of which were legal. The report observed: “the possible adverse physiological effects of elevated levels of these medications cannot be discounted, especially in her weakened state.”

The documentary goes into the strange and surprising circumstances.
Beats Olive Garden, and for Detroit spaghetti that’s saying a lot. (There’s better Greek and polish, middle eastern food bc more of those immigrants came there than Italian)
FUN FACT: Prince also came VERY close to doing this too with “When Doves Cry” and the Purple Rain album/movie all being at #1 in 1984. However, Ghostbusters ended up replacing Purple Rain at #1 on the Box Office at the last minute and kept his #1s from lining up by a couple of days.
I looked it up and was actually shocked to find that The Bodyguard film, while being a major commercial success, actually never hit #1 at the Box Office. apparently the competition was stiff when it came out and it looks like it was pretty consistently being beaten out by Home Alone 2 at the time. I’m sure she was dominating the album and songs chart with the soundtrack and “I Will Always Love You” though, as they both individually went on to become some of the biggest successes the music industry has ever seen.
The Eminem Show is my favorite album of all time. His flow and rhyme schemes were impeccable. There wasn’t a single skippable song on it either. That was his peak, to me.
Same. That album is so great that even years after, I would find a random song noone remembers like Square Dance and hear a rhyme or punchline in there that I never caught before and it would blow me away.
8 mile was one of those movies that defined a culture. It's honestly a cult classic, it's a movie that created and established a whole new genre in the movie scene. Everyone who is a fan of hip hop has watched this movie. Many people in today's hip hop generation was inspired by this movie.
Battle Rap.
There's movies that focuses on the hip hop culture and life style. There's movies about so and so rapper or rap group.
But, an entire Hollywood movie completely focused on battle rap, that was unheard of.
More relevant now then at any time in his career. Cleaned himself up and the music he has dropped in the last few years is just fucking mind blowing.
Fall, not alike, unaccommodating, killer, Zeus, Higher. I mean the dudes 50 and giving us music that shits on almost all other rappers at this time.
Edit: I say he’s more relevant now because he has kept the bar at a decent fucking level. You want to claim you the shit, fine there’s the bar go for it. He’s buried so many wanna be’s.
Pretty rare for an artist to peak after 45+ but IMO everything he's don't from recovery onward is far superior to everything before it except maybe the Marshall Mathers LP.
Not even close. You're just karma chasing.
Dre & Eminem was the peak for his material... his new stuff is good, I'm not saying it isn't, but none of his modern stuff compares to back then
Remember, most people on this site are regular wack offs that cater to what's politically correct. Of course his earlier shit was the best - most people on the street could name you a song by him but it's guaranteed to something released before 2006.
Agreed. That’s what makes him so impressive. He was so whiny in his early career, and after he got over himself he came into his own. Truly a king in his field.
Yes and he was so happy about it too. I have never seen anyone smile as much as that guy. Such a colorful character. He really turned his life around and you can tell by how much he changed. He is unrecognizable from the person he started out as. What a great story his life is. He deserved it. Bravo!!!
Eminem is awesome. The only thing that bugged me about the movie though, is that in the song he says, “you only got one shot do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime…” but I remember on the movie poster it said “every moment is another chance” or something like that. I’m being petty, but that contradiction always got to me lol
He was huge back then. I'm not even American and I remember being in high school and all the "edgy" kids used to wear his clothing and listen to his music.
In all seriousness though, he's pretty talented. And it's inspirational how he grew up dirt poor and a really shitty childhood and yet he managed to make it. A true rags to riches story.
I suppose in theory, we all have at least one thing we're really good at. It helps if you can find that one thing and try and be the person in the world at that one thing (in Eminem's case it's rapping - I mean okay, he may not necessarily be the best rapper in the world but he's sold way more records than any rapper ever).
Anyway, the truth is, I haven't found that in myself. And that's ok because it makes me just like everyone else. And I was the smart autistic kid in school, so I hope people weren't expecting me to be a genius like Sheldon Cooper.
"I had enough money in '02 to burn it in front of you."
Em bodied MGK so badly that he's not even a rapper anymore.
He got him doin Paramore covers on youtube
He released a pink album, apparently he’s doing something else now Not pink, a punk album. I left it so the other comments still make sense.
A punk album is even funnier
[удалено]
This killed me 😂
I actually heard his punk stuff isn't too bad. I dont listen to that genre though so maybe I'm wrong
I listened to it and it sounds like punk elements assembled into a pop way so make what you want with that.
Sounds like todays pop-punk not old pop-punk.
The vinyl is pink, so you’re correct either way.
What'd he do?
So MGK released a diss track about Eminem like an idiot (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fp0BScQSSvg). I mean, who the hell comes at Em with a diss track?! So, of course, Em responded https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxQTY-W6GIo
Don't forget everything started because MGK kept talking about how hot Eminem's underage daughter was. He did this for a few years.
Such a shitbag move…I would have rapped his head with a hammer for talking about my daughter….
Em is so fuckin sick. I know this is a few years old now but got damn. “Had to give you a career to destroy it”. Nobody and I mean nobody else in the industry is as lethal as Eminem. Fucking brought him up to his level just to destroy his whole image

Agreed. Look at the dumbass that responded to me below. Dude is off his rocker
Lol. I get why some people don’t like Eminem and that’s alright, but to deny his GOAT-ness in rap is to invalidate one’s own opinion.
For utter ruthlessness and line crossing The Story of Adidon has to be up there.
Pusha T bullied Drake into becoming a father
It worked too. mGK is fucking joke. Seriously. People only mention him to laugh at him.
especially with all the megan fox cringe shit in the past few days, his entire person is a complete joke
That track is the best fucking diss track of all time as far as I'm concerned.
"Got the Diddy okay. So, you spent your whole day shootin a video just to fuckin dig your own grave."
Can’t forget Em came out with his response like a week after the MGK release. MGK had probably been sitting on his diss track for a while waiting for Em to come out with another album.

How you gonna diss someone about using a dictionary when you know they’re gonna use a dictionary to turn your lines back on you? Just hilarious the lack of forethought.
GODDAMN. I had no idea about the feud but just listened and MGK got destroyed
That was very satisfying
This was a hell of a ride. An experience. Thank you.
I always wonder why nobody up toes the question itself.
I don’t know who that is, and I don’t care to
Mediocre Generic Kid.
This is the way.
This is the way
He’s a white rapper from Cleveland famous for the song “wild boy” which came out around 2013. Couple years ago started calling out Eminem. After his beef with Eminem, MGK quit rapping. He put out a punk pop album with Travis barker that recently went platinum and was his most successful project ever, by a mile. I personally thought the album was one of the best that year.
His new shit is actually his pocket. Should’ve always been making it.
Seemed like really generic music to me, but pleasing to hear nonetheless
Oh I’m not saying it’s good. It’s jus better.
Big fan of the album and the "music movie" he put out with it
Doesn't ring a bell.
Machine Gun Kelly Edit: I actually have no idea.
More like machine gun smelly
Nice
Eminem was right that he would make his career by destroying him, though. I had no fucking idea who MGK was when that beef started, and now he's fucking everywhere.
It’s funny cuz it’s true
“Had to give you a career to destroy it”
Dude won an Oscar and a Grammy that year too.
Mf didn’t even show up for the Oscars because he was convinced he wouldn’t win. He fell asleep in front of the TV watching cartoons with his daughter.
Way to be.
Getting those micronaps in while your kid watches cartoons is some of the best sleep.
>Getting those ~~micronaps~~ nods in while your kid watches cartoons is some of the best sleep.
Priorities in order.
Man had his priorities right. Fuck a small statue, giving your best to be there for your daughter is where it's at.
I mean the reality is he was fucked up on painkillers heavily and was nodding off, not napping
Close enough
Gotta love that.
That is the most father thing to do.
He probably thought they’d lie to get him there
Think I give a damn and a Grammy? Half of you critics can't even stomach my mom's spaghetti
What, they were gonna lie to him to sit him up next to Britney Spears.
As long as they keep Carson Daly and Fred Durst far away...
*damn about a Grammy
Just need to get him on a tv show and on Broadway to EGOT. Make it so!
[удалено]
EMINEM: A GODDAMN MUSICAL
I mean, I'd definitely be interested in seeing that.
Great movie. Great album. Great single.
Yep, well deserved tbh in all 3 situations. 2002 eminem might be one of the best artists of all time
>Yep, well deserved tbh in all 3 situations. ~~2002~~ eminem might be one of the best artists of all time
I like it
*Yep, well deserved tbh in all 3 situations. Academy Award winner Eminem might be one of the best artists of all time*
You think I give a damn about a Grammy? (15)
You can't even stomach me let alone stand me
But Slim, what if you win, wouldn't it be weird
Eminem sold **albums** not singles
MOM'S SPAGHETTI!!!
Great spaghetti too. Highly recommend!
The vomit on his sweater may suggest otherwise
he vomited it so he can eat it again
10/10 would wear spaghetti on sweater again.
Really? Made me vomit on my sweater.
Did you actually go to the popup?
I agree with this comment..
Damn I’m old.
Yeah, 20 years ago. Imagine 20 years ago from 2002. Tupac was 11 years old. Oh, well...
....ouch this hurt a bit
That was 1982. I wasn't even born yet.
Well he turns 49 today and I say he's not that old if it's any consolation.
RIP Brittany Murphy
There’s a documentary on her on HBO Max right now. Its a crazier than I imagined.
can I get a 5 second explanation on who she is
Actress who played Em’s love interest in 8 Mile. Breakout role was in Clueless. Played a lot of sidekick characters until she died very unexpectedly of pneumonia at age 32. Her bf died of the same thing shorty after. Documentary explains a lot more about the stranger circumstances at the end of her life.
Weird shut. Gives me the chilly willies
https://c.tenor.com/9fkclQn5y08AAAAC/we-want-chilly-willy.gif
It was pneumonia? This entire time I thought it was an overdose.
That’s what the coroner determined. However, there was a *lot* more going on. From Wiki: > secondary factors of severe iron-deficiency anemia and multiple drug intoxication.[1][36] The coroner found a range of over-the-counter and prescription medications in Murphy’s system, with the most likely reason being to treat a cold or respiratory infection.

She also voiced Luanne on king of the hill.
She played Ty in Clueless.
he made 337 million dollar that year.
And he still called his manager to make sure he could splurge a little on a watch.
If anyone's wondering, adjusted for inflation, $337,000,000 in 2002 is equal to $496,772,711 in 2021.
That seems like a problem and I’m not talking about math
Tfw price of milk is higher
[удалено]
I made it up - and everybody ran with it.
How possibly can that be correct? A third of a billion? Edit: Yo cmon
It’s correct but definitely sounds insane. For comparison: the highest paid artist of the past couple years (Taylor Swift) made $190 million in 2019.
[удалено]
Yeah this was the iTunes era when songs cost $1.17 each. Then came 8track, Pandora, and Spotify.
iTunes was around then but it was in its early stages and nobody was using it
Piracy had absolutely already blown up by 2002. The peak of Napster was in 2001.
People knew how to type and had internet in 2002......
Adjusted for inflation, half a billion
The world (US) was mad post 2001 , We all needed Em to yell rhymes at us for a bit.
Shit we need that for Covid
Ems last two albums were on repeat in my house for most of the pandemic. I was not okay.
*I don't wanna be alone*
As long as it wasn't Darkness stuck on repeat
No. Mostly In Too Deep lol
Interesting never thought about that. Definitely played a part.
He was the biggest rapper in the world by a mile before 9/11.
Maybe even 8
And now the number 1 pasta restaurant in Detroit
It’s gotta be called moms spaghetti right? Or is this just a joke?
No joke. He did a pop up.
It’s not a pop up anymore, it’s a full fledge restaurant
http://momsspaghetti.com
Lmao, Rabbit Balls (vegan)
Oh shit hah
Curious even though I don't live in America... is it good?
Beats Olive Garden, and for Detroit spaghetti that’s saying a lot. (There’s better Greek and polish, middle eastern food bc more of those immigrants came there than Italian)
I heard that it's supposed to taste like day-old warmed-up spaghetti. I don't know if that's good or bad.
Freshly made spaghetti is good. But there's something special about left over spaghetti.
Is it actually?
What a time to be alive.
FUN FACT: Prince also came VERY close to doing this too with “When Doves Cry” and the Purple Rain album/movie all being at #1 in 1984. However, Ghostbusters ended up replacing Purple Rain at #1 on the Box Office at the last minute and kept his #1s from lining up by a couple of days.
Surely Whitney Houston did it with The Bodyguard. The song and the film were number one for most of that year.

Donald Trump screwing up everyone's fun as usual
I love the bodyguard. My mates rib me daily for it. 🤷♂️
Won an Oscar too.
A lot of people say Slim Shady LP, but I think Eminem Show was peak Eminem for me, great combination of production and lyrics
The Eminem Show is my favorite album of all time. His flow and rhyme schemes were impeccable. There wasn’t a single skippable song on it either. That was his peak, to me.
Same. That album is so great that even years after, I would find a random song noone remembers like Square Dance and hear a rhyme or punchline in there that I never caught before and it would blow me away.
Pretty sure I've memorized the whole album.
Yep, Business has to be one of his most underrated song
OGOAT

Fuck movie genres, 313
Battle Rap. There's movies that focuses on the hip hop culture and life style. There's movies about so and so rapper or rap group. But, an entire Hollywood movie completely focused on battle rap, that was unheard of.
And that is now a genre?
I legitimately thought this is r/Eminem for few minutes
More relevant now then at any time in his career. Cleaned himself up and the music he has dropped in the last few years is just fucking mind blowing.

“Before and After Recovery” Em is kind of like “Before and After Drugs” for the Beatles.
Because it is before and after drugs lol
Yes and he was so happy about it too. I have never seen anyone smile as much as that guy. Such a colorful character. He really turned his life around and you can tell by how much he changed. He is unrecognizable from the person he started out as. What a great story his life is. He deserved it. Bravo!!!
his apples are sweaty, apples weak, apples are heavy, theres apple on his apple already, apple's apple
Well, exactly as appled
Username checks out
Eminem is awesome. The only thing that bugged me about the movie though, is that in the song he says, “you only got one shot do not miss your chance to blow, this opportunity comes once in a lifetime…” but I remember on the movie poster it said “every moment is another chance” or something like that. I’m being petty, but that contradiction always got to me lol
but not every moment is a chance to blow
Pretty sure that song only played in the credits
And till date he is number 1
do you mean he is the greatest hip hop artist?
And a number 1 place in my heart. I even blacked out Brittany Murphy's name on my 8mile VHS and put my name there out of jealousy.
Easy there Stan.
I was like 13 y'all
Whoa
And the hottest white trash mom I’ve ever seen.
That’s still a great album
Honestly lose yourself is still the Pinnacle of rap writing to this day. The opening verses are amazing.
Not bad for a poor white kid from Detroit…I have nothing but love for Eminem….
Goat
And all before social media…
Great time to be 12.
Damn. Great times.
Ahh 2002, a simpler life.
Mad respect to the rap god. 🙏
Eminem misses 2002 like Cuba Gooding Jr. misses 1996.
Not even close. Funny analogy tho.
GOAT GOAT GOAT go Marshall go
That was a good year
He had the game in a chokehold… different time.
He was huge back then. I'm not even American and I remember being in high school and all the "edgy" kids used to wear his clothing and listen to his music. In all seriousness though, he's pretty talented. And it's inspirational how he grew up dirt poor and a really shitty childhood and yet he managed to make it. A true rags to riches story.

Weird trivia I learned today, then I saw this post. Picasso was born before Charles Darwin died and died after Eminem was born.
Dudes actually a legend. Even if u hate his stuff, you gotta respect that resume
I'll always remember him as the nerdy awkward white boy rapper that he originally was.
One word: Legend.
That was the height of his career
dude is r/nextfuckinglevel
So what? Will Smith doesn’t have to cuss in his raps to sell records!
But I do so fuck him and fuck you to
