The Game Says He’s Better Than Eminem At Rap

The Game maintains that he is a greater rap artist than Eminem. The rapper told co-hosts Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson during his interview with the All the Smoke podcast. The podcast debuted on YouTube on Friday (May 27), that despite Eminem’s superior poetic skills, he could still beat him in a rap battle.

“When I say that I want to rap battle with Eminem, or Eminem is not the greatest rapper, or I’m better than him…I’m supposed to think that I’m better than every single rapper,” At the 58-minute mark, the rapper from Compton, California, explains.

Slim Shady, according to The Game, received a lot of help from Dr. Dre and Interscope Records, which he credits with catapulting him to MC superstardom.

“[I’m] not saying that [Eminem] can’t rap, the skillset is there. I’m just a better rapper,” he said. “I just haven’t been given the light that he’s been given. They didn’t put the money behind me.”

The Game On His Former Label And Eminem

The Game is referring to his former labels Aftermath and Interscope Records when he mentions “them.” The Documentary artist believes that the Interscope “machine” turned Eminem become a brilliant rapper. That is why he’s currently receiving so many plaudits. The Game feels that if Interscope gave him the same type of financial and marketing support as Em, he would be a fantastic MC as well.

The Game admitted that he understands that bragging about being a better rapper than Eminem will make headlines, but he stands by his words. “[Eminem is] a great lyricist, he’s just not better than me and if he is better than me I need to see it,” he stated.

Benzino Responds To Coi Leray’s Eminem Defense

Benzino responded on Twitter to his daughter, Coi Leray, after she defended Eminem. After his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s class of 2022, Benzino called out the Detroit rapper.

“As far as the lil [parrot emoji] who keeps talking about love and forgiveness. Well there’s this word called ‘loyalty’ and a commandment that says ‘Honor thy Mother and Father’ As far as burning bridges, there no bridge bigger than the one you burnt with your own blood,” Benzino tweeted in reference to Leray’s tweet.

Coi Leray said she’s “about love, equality, respect and forgiveness,” she continued. “I have nothing against Eminem, 25 years of my life all I know is he a very talented artist and actor! (8 Mile was great) Let’s build bridges and get over them before you burn the bridge and burn with it.”

Benzino added in a tweet: “One day you will realize that the people in these blogs comment section do not really care about you like I do & your label execs will have you sell your soul to make millions. I LOVE & ADORE my only daughter but I will just have to do it from a distance.”

Benzino responds to critics on using the bird emoji, he replied: “For all you fartherless half retarded commenters out there, there’s a saying caked ‘little birdie’ not ‘bird.’ I know half of y’all’s dads bounced for whatever reason but I was actually in my daughter life all the way.

Benzino Accuses Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame For Eminem Induction

Benzino promised to quit mocking Eminem after years of doing so, but the former Source publisher is still weighing in on Slim Shady’s entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022.

According to reports, the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta alum isn’t overjoyed with the news. Benzino attacked the Rock Hall on Twitter on Wednesday (May 4) for disregarding Black Hip Hop musicians that paved the path for Eminem to stroll down the red carpet.

“Rock and roll hall of fame is just like the Grammy’s,” he said. “They have no respect for our culture, Black or Hip Hop and if you don’t agree, you’re racist, period point blank.”

Someone at Rolling Stone shared this sentiment, stating in another tweet, “Eminem has now been inducted to the Rock and Roll of Fame before countless Black hip-hop pioneers who paved the way for his success. What message does that send?”

Benzino Questioned Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame

“So where’s Nas, Eric B. and RAKIM, Kool Moe D, EPMD, Fearless Four, Fat Boyz, Lauren Hill, Little Kim, OutKast and 100s other Black rappers?? GTFOH.” Benzino quoted the tweet.

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 were the first pioneering rap group to get inducted into the Rock Hall in 2007. They are often credited as the forefathers of conscious Hip Hop. In 2009, Run-DMC got honored, and the Beastie Boys got honored in 2012, shortly after MCA died of cancer.

N.W.A. got admitted in 2016, 2Pac in 2017, The Notorious B.I.G. in 2020, JAY-Z in 2021, and Eminem in 2022, bringing the total number of Hip Hop acts honored to nine in the Rock Hall’s 36-year existence.

Eminem inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s class of 2022. The Rock Hall released the final roster on Wednesday.

Unmatched superstardom,” The Hall stated as it introduces Eminem on its website. “As the single best-selling artist of the 2000s, a 15-time Grammy winner, and the first artist to have ten consecutive Number One debut albums on the Billboard 200, Eminem’s accolades speak for themselves. His world-renowned status solidified hip-hop as the most commercially successful music on the planet.”

Eminem has performed at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony twice before. He gave a speech inducting Run-D.M.C. into the Rock Hall in 2009, and he returned in 2021 to perform “Rock the Bells” with LL Cool J.

The Hall of Fame finished voting for a fan ballot last week, which influenced their ultimate decision on the class roster. Eminem came in second place in the poll.

Dolly Parton, Eurythmics, Duran Duran, Pat Benatar, Carly Simon, and Lionel Richie are among the other members of the class.

“Congratulations to our newest Inductees, and to all the fans who helped them get here,” the Hall stated on its website, before announcing the date for the induction ceremony. “We’re excited to celebrate with you on Saturday, November 5th in Los Angeles.”

“On some oceans 11 sh*t, we’d be outside the studio, So four am in the morning, we get information on who’s in the studio. So Jay-Z, the whole Clique is in there. So we just hang out till like 6-7, till they come out and when they come out, we go in.”

He continued “Usually, the engineer is getting like seven dollars an hour, so we’d give him like $500 and they’ll give me like all the sessions. Not like the song, but you hear like ‘Jay-Z yo bring that back, yo f**k that, take this out’ like everything is in this session because he’ll record the whole sh*t. So then we come and take it we cypher through those daps. We had that dap machine, which would really pan all in the f**kin order.
