Jamal Crawford Says Jay-Z's Effect on Rap Surpasses Eminem's Album Sales

Jamal Crawford Says Jay-Z’s Effect on Rap Surpasses Eminem’s Album Sales

/0 Comments/in /by

Jamal Crawford, during an interview with Shaq and Nischelle, says that Jay-Z’s effect on rap outweighs any album sales by Eminem. The 3x NBA Sixth Man of the Year believes that the effect Jay-Z has in rap music far surpasses the impact of the millions of album Eminem has sold. 

Crawford altered a controversial statement that many of Eminem’s fans may not agree with. In his opinion, he believes that rap music doesn’t care much about how many album you sell. Rather, it’s about your influence in the industry and the authority you command. 

Don’t forget, Pimp C turned down ‘Big Pimpin’ appearance because of Jay-Z‘s masturbation mix-up according to Roc-A-Fella A&R Kyambo “Hip-Hop” Joshua. 

Joshua said, “But once he got past that, he thought Jay was saying that he was playing with his dick in the truck. So he’s like, ‘Man, I’m not getting on no song with another man talkin’ bout playing with hisself in the truck! Young Hop, you my boy, but what you tryna have me doin’, man?’ He said, ‘That’s like career suicide!

50 Cent didn’t agree with what Jamal said. He commented on the video post of the interview and wrote “Bullshit.”

The G-Unit founder, 50 Cent, remarked at the occasion on how Snoop Dogg and Eminem approached filming in different ways. 

Despite believing himself to be the cast member who is the most intense, he pointed out that Snoop Dogg provides a laid-back approach and frequently plays music to keep things light. Additionally, 50 Cent spoke of his son Sire Jackson, who attended the event and the rapper appreciated him for his easygoing attitude. “I would definitely be the most intense on set,” 50 Cent stated. Snoop appears to be listening to music since he looks so at ease.

50 Cent replicated Snoop Dogg’s voice while talking about his experience working with Snoop Dogg and Eminem on the set of his popular STARZ drama series, BMF.

subsequently, He made a remark about his son Sire Jackson’s upbeat presence by his side and his easygoing demeanor. “Watch that? When I arrive here, I want to be like that, Fif declared, He doesn’t care that we are here, actually. He doesn’t care where we are; he will enjoy himself.”

Although Snoop Dogg’s character, Pastor Swift, has grown to be a significant role in the show as the Flennory family’s spiritual leader, Eminem’s character, “White Boy Rick,” played by Eminem, only made an appearance in one episode of BMF.

Snoop Dogg expressed his delight to take on the role again and develop his character’s mentorship and spiritual guidance in a clip used to promote the second season. “I thoroughly enjoyed Season 1.” I’m delighted they gave me the chance to return and change up my persona, because that’s what’s about to happen. You know, everything is kept spiritual by Pastor Swift. You are aware that you require my mentoring and advice.

It is currently unknown if Eminem will make another appearance in the second season of BMF, but 50 Cent recently announced that he and Eminem are collaborating on an 8 Mile TV series.

“I wanna bring — I’m gonna bring, 8 Mile to television,” 50 Cent said during a recent interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood. He continued: “We in motion. It’s gonna be big. I’m working. I ain’t got no duds. I’m batting 100 … I think it should be there for [Eminem’s] legacy because it’s important to me that they understand it.”

A recent report from Deadline also announced the development of an animated superhero series called Trill League for BET+ from G-Unit Film & TV, 3 Arts, and Lionsgate Television.

Dr Dre and 50 Cent are teasing new songs.

Eminem recently received praise from 50 Cent for receiving the most views as a rapper on YouTube last year. In addition, the G-Unit rapper hinted that he will be releasing new songs, a new film, and more television programs in 2023. The Detroit rapper texted Fifty about recording new music with Dr. Dre, according to a recent interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood.

“Immediately after saying that, I received a text from Eminem saying that he had already spoken to Dre and that Dre was inside with some wild things for me to hear,”

got some crazy stuff for me to go hear,” said Fifty. “This is my process: I’ll go make something, what I can find, the best music that I can put my hands on. And when I feel real good about it, I bring it to put pressure on Dre to offer me something. ‘Cause he’ll have something… He’s always had something.

The power mogul also admits that Dr. Dre handed him the beats he made for himself on multiple occasions. Eminem, Dr. Dre, and 50 Cent teamed up with Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige, and Snoop Dogg for the NFL Super Bowl half-time show show just over a year ago.

Eminem Rejected $8 Million Offer to Perform at 2022 World Cup

Eminem Rejected $8 Million Offer to Perform at 2022 World Cup

 Eminem has enjoyed some significant financial success in his career as a rapper, but he won’t pass up opportunities like the World Cup sponsorship offer he received last year.

50 Cent, a longtime friend of the rapper and a former Shady/Aftermath performer, dropped by Big boy’s Neighborhood to promote the second season of his smash TV show BMF.

During the conversation, the G-Unit entrepreneur recounted how his performance with Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige at last year’s award-winning Super Bowl Halftime Show led to him and Eminem being given a large sum of money to perform at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

“Because of the Super Bowl, I got an inquiry about the World Cup,” 50 Cent told Big Boy. “They had a budget of $9million for it. So they was gonna give — I would have took one, Big. Then the other eight would have been for Em.”

50 Cent added that if anyone was looking to do a “one-off” they’d probably do the “biggest live sporting event in the world.”

Once the offer came in, 50 Cent called Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg to discuss it but was ultimately turned down — although it’s not completely clear whether news of the offer made its way to Em directly. “I called and spoke to Paul and everybody around him,” Fif explained. “They was like, ‘He’s not gonna do it.’”

While Eminem and his team may have declined the World Cup, 50 Cent stated that the opportunity they did not pass up was the chance to remake the Detroit legend’s 8 Mile film and turn it into a TV series.

“I wanna bring — I’m gonna bring, 8 Mile to television,” he told Big Boy before confirming that the project is already “in motion.”

“It’s gonna be big,” he added. “I’m working. I ain’t got no duds. I’m batting 100 … I think it should be there for [Eminem’s] legacy because it’s important to me that they understand it.”

Elsewhere during the chat, the “In Da Club” hitmaker offered additional details about the new album he’s planning to release later this year, revealing that Dr. Dre will be contributing to the project.

“As soon as I [announced it], I got a text from [Eminem] that he had already spoke to Dre, and that Dre is in there and he got some crazy stuff for me to go hear,” he said.

“This is my process: I’ll go make something, what I can find, the best music that I can put my hands on. And when I feel real good about it, I bring it to put pressure on Dre to offer me something. ‘Cause he’ll have something… He’s always had something.”

Eminem is Praised by Tony Yayo For Helping Him in His Career

Recently, Tony Yayo appeared on Vlad TV  to speak with DJ Vlad. He thanked Eminem for being Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on the broadcast and recalled how the Detroit rapper helped him when he first started out.

“Eminem just got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, shout out Eminem,” he said. “One of the greatest. Shout out to Eminem. Always loved Eminem. Big accomplishment, one of the best emcees in the world. Shout out to Eminem. Give him his flowers while he’s still here.”

“He always helped me in my career, He’s on my first album. He wore a free Yayo shirt at the Grammys. So, I’m always gonna show him respect, love and salute him as well as Dr. Dre and everyone else who built this legacy. As well as Jimmy lovine too. Cause I mean Jimmy Lovine was a genius, Eminem was a genius, Dr. Dre was also a genius. And we all fell in line. I feel like that was the best deal ever.”

“I feel like Eminem always got hated on. Benzino and Source Magazine was big at that time, they were calling us ‘house niggas’ and all kind of shit back then when we were signed to Eminem. Color never really meant nothing to me. I’m from New York. It’s a Melting pot of a color. I went to grade school and my first too friends was Ralphie and Frank Harveen, he was an Italian. I never seen colour. It was white, it was black, it was Indian, Jewish, Spanish, Haitian, Jamaican, Trinidadian, Guyanese…It was always a melting pot of people So, I never felt that way.”

“Nobody ever did anything in my career besides Eminem and 50 Cent. And I always say, Em doing free Yayo while I was in jail, I only had to go about two years and they kept my name alive. They started putting my name in videos and stuff like that and free Yayo shirt was selling. I’m always gonna salute him….Being attached to Eminem was the best deal, without Eminem and Dr. Dre we would not have that much of a success. Jimmy lovine, interscope, Shady, Aftermath. It was a fucking movement that was just fucking unstoppable. And you’ve seen how Eminem singlehandedly took down the Source magazine cause Benzino was always just fucking mad. I don’t know why but he was just always mad.”

At the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2022, Steven Tyler and Ed Sheeran Performed Alongside Eminem

The 2022 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony took place Last night, at the Microsoft Theater in Downtown Los Angeles, and Eminem became the latest rap artist to be inducted. The rapper gave a set of six songs to the audience after being introduced by his longtime mentor, friend, and producer Dr. Dre.

The “My Name Is” classic by the Detroit legend opened the performance, which was followed by the quick-rapping “Rap God.” Steven Tyler of Aerosmith then joined Marshall Mathers for “Sing For The Moment” before he was helped by Ed Sheeran for “Stan.” Along with his verse from Drake’s “Forever,” Eminem also performed “Not Affairs,” one of his inspirational Recovery singles.

Here is the fraction of  Eminem’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction speech:

“This shit is crazy… I realize what an honor it is right now for me to be up here tonight, and what a privilege it is to do the music that I love, and the music that basically saved my life.

“Where’d the man, where did Dre go? The man who saved my life, ladies and gentlemen, Dr. motherf-ucking Dre. So I’m going to try to make this as quick and painless as possible. I’m fucking stuttering and shit, I mean Jesus Christ.

“So I’m probably not supposed to actually be here tonight because of a couple of reasons. One of them that I’m a rapper, and this is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And there’s only a few of us right now that have been inducted in already, but there’s only a few of us.

Eminem Announces a 20th-anniversary Soundtrack for “8 Mile”

Rap legend Eminem has announced that the acclaimed 8 Mile soundtrack will be given a 20th-anniversary reissue. The movie, which was notable for being released on November 8th, 2002, featured the rap battles that helped make Eminem famous and told the semi-autobiographical tale of his early life and career in Detroit.

8 Mile, which starred Anthony Mackie, Kim Basinger, and the late Brittany Murphy, is one of the highest-rated hip-hop films ever made, with worldwide box office receipts of more than $240 million (£207 million). In addition to introducing everyone to a side of America that few people were aware of at the time, the film showcased Eminem’s acting skills, with L.A. Confidential director Curtis Hanson saying: “Marshall gave me all a director could ask for from an actor – enormous talent, focus, dedication and a total commitment to the story we were trying to tell. He came at the job with humility, respect, and tremendous self-discipline.”

Eminem very joyfully announced the anniversary release of the soundtrack on Twitter last week, along with a montage of movie snippets. He quoted the sentence “‘I’m still standing here screaming ‘f*** the Free World,'” from the movie 8 Mile. The soundtrack for “8Mile 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition” becomes available for streaming on Friday.

A demo of the album’s most well-known song, “Lose Yourself,” as well as instrumental versions of each song are included in the new, deluxe edition.
