New Music: Conway x Eminem - BANG UPDATE: Leaked verse disses Joe, Diddy & REVOLT

B.I.G. on Benjamins is another one where it switches up

True but he didnt go like 60 bars to smash that record...

And i think his stature and the length of the record also made it a great choice.

The earlier songs i mentioned notice they did NOT change the beat up.

Again i aint criticizing Marshall, but i think i would have liked to hear Em try to not only rap on that beat but try to maintain the subject matter.

I'm only saying this because there is a signature sound to MOST Eminem songs...

And Marshall is more than capable of tackling different beats...

Dead Wrong for example
 
Been rockin wit Em since 96 but this shit is trash. Conway killed it and didn't fuck up the head nod. Keep the dope bars within the context of a good song or go do battle rap

Eminem didn't start talking about Charlemagne until his most recent album, which came out in August 2018, in response to Charlemagne's criticism of his 2017 album. So this is almost definitely in the past 12 months (and it sounds like his most recent style).

I think it is more that he became a nostalgia rapper with 2013's Marshall Mathers LP 2.

For example:



My apologies, no disrespect to technology
But what the heck is all of these buttons?
You expect me to sit here and learn that?
Fuck I gotta do to hear this new song from Luda?
Be an expert at computers?
I'd rather be an encyclopedia Britannica, hell with a Playstation
I'm still on my first manual from Zelda
Nintendo, bitch, run, jump, punch, stab and I melt the
Mozzarella on my spaghetti, put in on bread
Make a sandwich with welch's and belch
They say this spray butter is bad for my health, but
I think this poor white trash from the trailer
Jed Clampett, Redd Sanford welfare mentality helps to
Keep me grounded, that's why I never take full advantage of wealth, I
Managed to dwell within these parameters
Still cramming the shelves full of hamburger helper
I can't even help it, this is the hand I was dealt, a
Creature of habit, feel like I'm trapped in an animal shelter
With all these pet peeves
God dammit to hell, I can't stand all these kids with their camera cellphones
I can't go anywhere, I get so mad I can yell, the

Other day someone got little elaborate and stuck a fucking dead cat in my mailbox
Went to Burger King, they spit on my onion rings
I think my karma is catching up with me


On that album, he doubled down on living in the past and he still seems to be there six years later. I thought it was a phase, not a permanent transition... He plays with new rap trends but, in terms of substance, he wants to live in the 20th century.

I recently watched Eddie Murphy on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. As he and Seinfeld talked about the old glory days of comedy, almost all of his impressions were 80s/90s era figures like Mike Tyson, Michael Jackson or Prince. (He did have a nice Chappelle imitation.) He talked about how much he loved to stay home and do nothing-- literally nothing-- and totally disconnect from society. I think Eminem is the same way and it's a limitation to live as an isolated relic and still try to be an active rapper.

It's no secret that Eminem and Joe Budden have had an interesting relationship, and while there were times in which the dynamic was amicable, it eventually soured to the point of open hostilities from both parties. And while Em took a few potshots at Joe on Music To Be Murdered By's "Lock It Up," the beef largely settled on its own, though a peace-making conversation between the two does not appear to have transpired. For the most part, it seems as if Em and Joe decided to live and let live, a decision that was nearly upended when an unreleased verse to Eminem and Conway's "Bang" leaked over the weekend.​
As Em's verse did take some shots at Joe Budden and State Of The Culture's network REVOLT, Joe took a moment to address the leak on the latest episode of his Joe Budden Podcast. Off the bat, it's clear that Budden is unfazed by the jabs, showcasing some self-deprecating humor as he listens to some of the verse. Despite his co-host Rory playfully goading him to clap-back, Budden opts to take the high road in his response.​
"Listen, I was one hundred percent prepared to come on here and scream on Paul [Rosenberg] cause I thought Paul leaked this," explains Budden. "I was prepared to come on here and tell Paul and Em to read the room. Now's not the time for all of that. But this is an old verse. Mal is right, you don't get offended by old verses. And two, I don't think anybody's on that right now. I don't think Em is on that, I don't think my Slaughterhouse brothers is on that. I don't think anybody is on that side right this second. I feel safe speaking on that, I won't tell you why I feel safe speaking on that but I do."​
"That's not really where the focus is right now," continues Budden. "That's not where our concern is, or where it should be. It's way to much important shit going on right now. Even if I was going to come in here and start screaming, I'm not rapping so that's not fun. Nothing about this is fun. It's more power in the unity. I'm going to assume we were taking some baby steps to try to reach unity with some of the behind-the-scenes conversations that were taking place. So, nah, this is not thirty-five year old Joe that's going to come and fuck everything up cause I'm mad about some old shit. I'm going to be mature -- I'm forty. Great verse!"​
Check out Joe's reflections on "Bang" around the fifty-seven-minute mark.​

 

Diddy's Revolt TV Calls Out Eminem for Being an 'Unneeded Distraction' Following 'Bang' Diss: Exclusive
6/24/2020 by Carl Lamarre

REVOLT isn't ready to back down after Eminem charged at the media company in his alternate verse on Conway The Machine's "Bang" earlier this week. In a statement sent to Billboard, REVOLT attempts to thrash the 8 Mile MC about his decision to war with them.
"Why does Eminem, someone who is a guest in Black culture, think he can talk down to REVOLT," says the statement. "REVOLT is a BLACK media company, owned by a Black entrepreneur, with a majority Black team – that is authentic and real about this. With the immediate need for REVOLT to use our platform for the important issues regarding social justice, equality, and ensuring continuing to be the outlet – across ALL OUR PLATFORMS, we're doing important work. Eminem trying to come for us is an unneeded distraction. It is not OK."
After Eminem's verse aimed at REVOLT and Joe Budden went viral, Diddy's media company sent a simple, but searing rebuttal on social media: "F-- you too Eminem."

The statement sent to Billboard also addresses REVOLT's involvement in police brutality and its relevance to the culture. "REVOLT is busy putting in work: launching REVOLT Black News, hourly field correspondence updates, covering important rallies, as well as partnering with the NAACP for air their Black Family Reunion. Partnering to air the funerals of George Floyd and Rayshard Brooks, as well as President Obama's remarks back in June. REVOLT is a Black business that is relevant and needs to be here, like all our Black businesses. We need to be supported to be the platform and voice of this movement – that otherwise wouldn't have."
They continue to skewer Eminem by suggesting that his verse served as a "distraction" towards their mission and encouraged him to spark change rather than feuds.
"What Em's 'mess' could've done – is it could've harmed our business. Fortunately, it was a minor social media distraction, but the potential implications should not be OK. We're busy using our energies, efforts and platforms as a Catalyst for Change. The real question is what is Eminem doing – other than being a distraction. If the diss was intended for Joe Budden why include REVOLT? REVOLT has supported both artists throughout their careers – and has zero to do with their beef with each other. And how did this verse supposedly and allegedly get 'leaked' anyway."

Billboard reached out to Eminem's rep for comment.
UPDATE: Eminem has responded to Revolt's statement, sharing on Twitter Wednesday night (June 24): "I agree with Revolt...this is an unnecessary distraction. I never meant for that verse to be heard, I was heated in the moment and thought better of it and decided to pull it back."
"Stuff that I never intended to release continues to leak from the huge WeTransfer hack. I don't have any issues with Revolt...I'd actually welcome the opportunity to work with them on some positive things and turn this in a different direction."


 

Eminem Takes Shots At Joe Budden On Leaked Alternate Version Of Conway’s “Bang”

“Wasted tissue, tell this journalist stick to the stuff he knows / Like always runnin’ from Migos.”

Eminem first linked up with Shady Records signee Conway the Machine for “Bang” last July. This week, an alternate version of the track surfaced online featuring Eminem taking shots at Joe Budden as well as Diddy’s cable channel Revolt.


On the track, he takes aim at Budden, referencing the former Slaughterhouse rapper’s infamously contentious interview with Migos at the 2017 BET Awards:
Wasted tissue, tell this journalist stick to the stuff he knows
Like always runnin' from Migos
Here a mic, there a mic
Everywhere a mic, share and share alike
But just don’t compare alike
Instead of comparin' me, pick a fair fight
At the time “Bang” dropped, Em was already engaged in a major feud with Budden, his former signee who has offered sharp criticism of Em’s recent output. Eminem first went after Joe on 2018’s “The Fall”:
Somebody tell Budden before I snap, he better fasten it
Or have his body bag get zipped
The closest thing he’s had to hits is smackin’ b-tches
More shots came on 2020’s “Lock It Up”:
I just let the poker chips fall where they were supposed to fit
Now those days are over, scrapin' change in sofas
Tryna save at Kroger (Yeah)
So why would I give a f-ck about backstabbin' Trader Joe for?
Budden has frequently discussed the tracks on his Spotify podcast, but thus far resisted the urge to come out of retirement to respond with a diss track. This newly surfaced “Bang” verse seems unlikely to change that calculus.
Em also directly name-checks Diddy and Revolt:
Yeah, shout to Puffy Combs, but f-ck Revolt
Y'all are like a f-cked up remote (Ha-ha)
Now I get it why our button’s broke
‘Cause you press him but he don’t do nothing though (Damn it)
'Specially when it comes to punches thrown
He previously referenced Diddy on 2018’s “Killshot,” where he made a joke about rumors that Diddy had 2pac killed:
Killshot, I will not fail, I’m with the Doc still
But this idiot’s boss pops pills and tells him he’s got skills
But, Kells, the day you put out a hit’s the day Diddy admits
That he put the hit out that got Pac killed, ah!

Joe Budden Reponds To Eminem's Leaked "Bang" Verse

By Mitch Findlay




Following the release of Eminem's original "Bang" verse, Joe Budden addressed some of the disses against him on The Joe Budden Podcast.

It's no secret that Eminem and Joe Budden have had an interesting relationship, and while there were times in which the dynamic was amicable, it eventually soured to the point of open hostilities from both parties. And while Em took a few potshots at Joe on Music To Be Murdered By's "Lock It Up," the beef largely settled on its own, though a peace-making conversation between the two does not appear to have transpired. For the most part, it seems as if Em and Joe decided to live and let live, a decision that was nearly upended when an unreleased verse to Eminem and Conway's "Bang" leaked over the weekend.

I like No Life Shaq but he goes too far overboard for Eminem. The dis was weak but don't apologize you wrote the lyrics then went into the studio and recited it. And how many days was this track down. So he had plenty of time to say I need to delete those lyrics. Same as his black girl dis. I never meant for that to get out, well don't say it then. I like most of Eminems music but you cant apologize for something you intentionally did.

2020 is the year of the apology
