Eminem Recruits Big Sean, J.I.D & More For Cameo-Heavy “Doomsday Pt. 2” Video

Eminem dropped the music video for his song “Doomsday Pt. 2” on Wednesday (March 13). Several rappers made cameos in the video, making fans wonder if Slim Shady had plans to record music with the artists.

The “Doomsday Pt. 2” video featured Big Sean, J.I.D, Denzel Curry, Teezo Touchdown, Cordae, BabyTron and Swae Lee. It was directed by Cole Bennett, who released the video on Lyrical Lemonade’s YouTube channel.

“Doomsday Pt. 2” appeared on the Lyrical Lemonade compilation All Is Yellow, which dropped in January. The track reignited Eminem’s longstanding beef with Benzino.

“What is the opposite of Benzino? A giraffe/Go at his neck, how the f### is that?/How can I go at something he doesn’t have/Arms so short he can’t even touch his hands/When they’re above his head doing jumping jacks/Sorry, I don’t mean to upset you Ben/When I talk about all the debt you in/I hear that you been creeping on the low/In them cheap hotels that they catch you in,” Eminem rapped.

He continued, “Jesus Christ, dog, when you said 210/Never guessed you meant at the Red Roof Inn/In a room with one single bed, two men/Shady, man, you can’t, yes, you can/Well, I guess then I regret to inform you, hate to spoil the day/But this doesn’t bring me no joy to say/Guess that Coi Leray feat’s in the toilet, ay.”

Benzino responded with two diss tracks: “Vulturius” and “Rap Elvis.” Benzino threatened to release another diss if Eminem didn’t respond.

“I’m going to go down in history as the Eminem slayer,” Benzino declared. “But right now, it’s f### Eminem. I stand on everything I said. I stand on everything I’ve been saying. And ‘Rap Elvis’ destroyed him. I’m still waiting on the response. If he don’t, I’m gonna drop another one.”

Cole Bennett Directs Eminem’s “Doomsday 2” Visual With Denzel Curry, Big Sean, And Other Friends

Earlier this month marked the 25th anniversary of Eminem’s “My Name Is.” The classic song remains one of the rapper’s best-known releases, though he’s still sharing new music with us all this time later. Marshall Mathers has matured a lot since he first got his big break, but his fast-paced flow remains undefeated. We’ve heard him and Benzino going back and forth on various diss tracks in recent weeks. In particular, hip-hop heads are loving his work on Lyrical Lemonade’s compilation album, All Is Yellow, in late January.

Em appears on “Doomsday 2” with some words for his rival and today (March 13), he and Cole Bennett finally unleashed their music video. “Now I got a riddle, one condition, you mustn’t laugh /What is the opposite of Benzino? A giraffe,” the Detroit native remarks. “‘Go at his neck,’ how the f**k is that? / How can I go at somethin’ he doesn’t have?” he continues over production from Daniyel, John Nocito, Mel-Man, and Dr. Dre.

Eminem Carries Himself With Confidence Through “Doomsday 2”

As Uproxx notes, Bennett opted to use the same building where he filmed the original “Doomsday” visual with Cordae and Juice WRLD. While the camera keeps its focus almost entirely on Mathers, we do see cameos from several other rap icons. Teezo Touchdown, JID, Big Sean, Cordae, Denzel Curry, and Babytron all appear throughout, along with Swae Lee of Rae Sremmurd fame. After proving his lyrical prowess on “Doomsday 2,” rumours of Eminem “falling off” have all but been put to bed. Now, we’re curious to see what he has in store for us next.

Other popular titles to appear on All Is Yellow earlier this winter include “Guitar In My Room” with Lil Durk and Kid Cudi, “Stop Giving Me Advice” from Jack Harlow and Dave, plus Latto, Swae Lee, and Amine’s “Special.” Tap into the full 14-track LP at the link below, and check back in with HNHH this weekend to stream more of our release recommendations.

Royce Da 5’9″ Reveals Grudge Over Kanye West & Big Sean Upstaging Slaughterhouse

During a recent appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast, Royce Da 5’9″ spoke to its titular host about their rap group Slaughterhouse‘s time at SXSW in 2012. They performed for S.O.B.’s 30th anniversary party and were the last show of the night with a lineup that also included 2 Chainz, Machine Gun Kelly, and Big Sean. The latter, Royce’s fellow Detroit MC, brought out Ye to perform “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” and the crowd went ballistic. Now, Joe and his Slaughterhouse partner recalled how they felt when the G.O.O.D. Music duo (at the time) upstaged them and killed a lot of hype for their performance with something grander that came right before in the form of the Chicago artist.

“I’m still mad at [Ye] about that,” Royce Da 5’9″ shared on the podcast, although not in an overtly serious or combative tone. Him and Joe Budden got around to talking about it when the latter brought it up, and Budden even joked about still having nightmares about it. “I’m mad at Big Sean too,” the podcast’s special guest continued. “He’s the one who brought him out. He was on stage. He f***ing showed me, I’ll tell you that.” For what it’s worth, neither artist seems to hold any true animosity for the Yeezy mogul.

Royce Da 5’9″ Appears On The Joe Budden Podcast: Watch

“Big Sean was up at SXSW, Slaughterhouse was closing… Why?!” Joe Budden told Royce Da 5’9”. “Man, we back there doing our little Slaughterhouse chant. ‘All hands in the middle! Slaughterhouse on three! One, two, three!’ Then from the stage, [we heard], ‘La, la, la, la, wait ’til I get my money right.’ Everybody’s like, ‘Ahhh!’ I said, ‘Give me my hand! I ain’t f***ing with y’all! Y’all cr*zy as hell!’ By the time we went up there, it ain’t look like the same crowd. I was tight.”

To be clear, though, the Bad Meets Evil member isn’t really mad at the Sean Don; they’ve collaborated a lot and have shown each other a lot of respect over the years. “Royce Da 5’9 is a literal big brother, so I gotta go with Royce,” “The Baddest” MC said of his fellow spitter on Drink Champs, picking him over another Detroit legend in Eminem. “Eminem is, like I said, a god MC and a dream come true to work with, but I’ve been in the trenches with Royce for real.” For more news on Royce Da 5’9″, Joe Budden, Big Sean, and Kanye West, stay logged into HNHH.

Big Mack & King Reegz – “The G Template” (Album Review)

A project dedicated to real “G’s”, San Francisco’s Big Mack & King Reegz connect for a 17-track collaborative project “The G Template”, taking us back to when Hip Hop was represented in it’s purest ways with raw lyrics and hard hitting beats. In this project, you will find a mixture of raw boom-bap, soulful tunes, and Bay Area signature club bangers. Being that this is a lengthy project, we will 3 songs off the project, each of the styles of rap just described.

Due to the Bay Area vibes all throughout the album, lets get to the club banger first. Track 4, “VIP” is a true radio and club worthy track while both emcees describe beautiful ladies you typically find in the VIP section of all clubs who are also gold diggers, yet they don’t fall for the trap. The soulful side of the project we have to say goes tot he single, “G Code”. This track we think encompasses the whole project consisting of a soulful hook and lyrics to compliment. King Reegz & Big Mack are definitely no pretending when living the “G” lifestyle.

Now let’s get into that raw boom-bap and raw lyricism! We have to highlight “Look What You Done”. Front to back, the whole project is dope, but this song takes this project to a whole new level. There is always that classic song in every album, and “Look What You Done” will go down as that head banger classic.

Bay Area Hip Hop is alive and kicking, King & Big and keeping the torch lit. We rate “The G Template” a solid 8/10. Also, make sure to watch the official video for “Peel Awf” off the project above.

San Francisco is the home of King Reegz & Big Mack.

Dive Into 40 Years of Def Jam Recordings’ Hip-Hop History

Def Jam Recordings‘ hip-hop history is unmatched. Forty years after getting into the music business, the label is celebrating its rich lineage with a special anniversary hub.

Def Jam has created an interactive timeline highlighting major milestones and moments over the course of its four-decade long legacy. The Def Jam 40 hub dives into the expansive heritage of the brand and the hundreds of artists who have helped shape the lasting imprint.

Documented in the hub timeline, the label, cofounded by Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons in 1984, the label’s hip-hop run started with humble beginnings. The first releases were 12-inch singles for T La Rock and Jazzy J’s “It’s Yours,” LL Cool J’s “I Need a Beat” and Beastie Boys’ “Rock Hard.” The label would press forward with future Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees LL and Beastie Boys, starting what would be a  time-tested run.

In the last four decades, Def Jam has helped push the culture forward with dozens of successful  and groundbreaking rap signings including Public Enemy, Slick Rick, EPMD, Onyx, Method Man, DMX—the first living rapper at the time to have two albums reach No. 1 in a calendar year—Ludacris, Rick Ross, Jeezy and more.

Several other artists have been under the Def Jam umbrella through partnerships with Jay-Z’s Roc-a-Fella Records in 1996 and Murder Inc. in 1997, including Kanye West, Ja Rule, Cam’ron and others.

The label’s current roster includes names like Pusha T, DJ Khaled, Big Sean, Benny The Butcher, Wale and others.

Rolling Loud Los Angeles is in full swing. The annual festival kicked off on Thursday (March 14) with Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign and continued into Friday (March 15) with a headlining set from Nicki Minaj. At one point, YG was introduced to the stage, where he shocked his fans by bringing out Saweetie.

While the two reportedly broke up in January, by all appearances, it looks like they are still going strong. As she walked off stage, YG said, “I love you, girl, with your fine a##.”

The couple initially fueled dating rumors in May 2023, when they were spotted canoodling in Cabo, Mexico. Saweetie also attended YG’s birthday party that March and they were allegedly snuggling at Coachella a month later. But in January, it was reported they had ended their seven-month romance. YG was quick to squash that rumor, posting a photo of the pair cuddled up at a Beyoncé concert.

Rolling Loud, meanwhile, is gearing up for night three on Saturday (March 16) with performances by Post Malone, $uicide Boy$, Summer Walker, Big Sean, Larry June and Flo Milli, among others. The concert wraps up on Sunday (March 17) with appearances by likes of Future x Metro Boomin, Don Tolliver, Bryson Tiller, Ski Mask the Slump God, NLE Choppa, That Mexican OT and Chief Keef.
