I feel you 100%, i was drawn to Eminem and became a fan bc of his rawness in his music and his writing, like storytelling and all that. He has that something special that makes his music amazing,my opinion. I love more his personal songs, above the others. The Paul Pod was weird, i think that too and i feel like Paul is controlling idk, but Em talked about his writing process on other occasions. Like i remember him talking about Darkness on Crook's Corner (love that interview) or how he connects the words from the paper. He should talk about it more, but maybe he doesn't remember much about his early ones bc of his drug usage, just my guess, like how he said there was another version of Lose Yourself which he has no idea how that came about. I also was annoyed by Jeff Bass, more by his entitlement if i can call it that, like he thinks ppl like the songs he did just bc of his production or gives himself a little too much credit, when in reality, those songs were carried by Eminem. Tbh i don't think Em is that proud of Kim or 97 Bonnie and Clyde now, since they're some very cruel songs..but yeah,they're HIS songs. As much as those songs are his, they're also the production's team songs too yk? Like if they want to talk about them, they can do it..it's annoying but it's a little insight anyway. Hope he releases another book like The Way I Am too, i liked that book. i just saw like this interview clip of jeff being condescending as hell like "em didn't know what a snare was.. cleaning out my closet was the first song we let him produce..." when em has talked about how he came up with the bass line for the way i am himself. and then i read this interview of his:(2001) Fridge Magazine w/ D12 (#00011) Pt.2 The Fridge: Is this the first album that you’ve executive produced? Eminem: (With) the job title, yeah. But nothing has changed from my first album to this one, besides maybe I’m more hands-on. But, I’ve always been hands-on with both of my albums. I was in the studio, you know, writing and producing the shit. I wouldn’t shit on my production company, because they’re the guys who gave me the start in this business. Without them, I wouldn’t be here right now. But I could honestly say that on the first two albums, I didn’t get the proper credit I deserved as far as producing, but shit is better now, I’m more in control of things as far as production goes and shit like that. I still work with the Bass Brothers, but now the proper titles and credits are given on everything and riders and all that shit is distributed more fairly. As far as my albums, I came up with “Criminal,” Anything that Dre didn’t produce on my last two albums, I produced, aside from the song “Kim,” which Mark and Jeff produced themselves. They just did the track and I liked it. As far as the rest of the shit, I was in there, hands-on. The Fridge: Who were the producers on the D12 album?Eminem: Me, Denine, and Head. The way it works is like this…Head’s the go-to man for drum sounds. Usually, I’ll make the pattern or sometimes Head will make the pattern. Then, we go from there. I usually start thinking of bass lines and riffs and shit like that. Denine brings a lot of tracks to the table. He’s got a couple tracks on this album that he produced by himself. As far as outside production, Dre’s got three tracks on this record.link: www.youtube.com/post/UgkxM9Jp0PaEBqViUEX2PSsCGurrn0IHBs_Jso theyre clearly shady in how they hand out credits. and maybe em felt a certain way about that. and then again the publishing company seems to hold alot of rights to his music and its lame seeing all these headline talking about em loosing his case against spotify when his team says he literally only found out about the case after it hit the news so if they were making some money off of him there clearly he isnt seeing any of that. then again he did credit jeff bass on houdini so who knows. i just thing it would be really cool if everyone stopped pouting about what em owes them I understand, but i don't think it's on Em how the credits to the songs are distributed..i don't really know about this stuff. His team is weird, that's for sure and kinda unprofessional. I'm not worried about Em, he has money, but like you said it's annoying how everyone wants something from Em or expect something from him, like Em owes you. I think Em credited Jeff on Houdini bc it has an interpolation of Without Me which was produced by Jeff B., correct me if i'm wrong here, but i don't really understand why are they complaining tbh... Idk Wait, you say that his team is shady on how they hand out credits, like they don't credit Em on the producing part? As far as the writing part, we know Em writes his lyrics. |

That's why Denaun also didn't mention them as producers on Devil's Night and why they were excluded on D12 World. They take credit for everything single thing made. Jeff really believes he's the one responsible for Lose Yourself greatness. He isn't. Hush also said he produced 97 Bonnie and Clyde with Em and Bass Brothers (originally Just the two of us), but Bass said it was his idea and execution only. |

He literally insinuated that the reason encore is the way it is is because he wasnt available to work on the album and he couldnt give his creative direction so em is less of his usual self that fans want and more of a circus boy cause its such a goofy album. The fact that em literally couldnt function without pills and the album got leaked beforehand are literally afterthoughts to this guy. And he also willingly acknowledges that they were stoned out of their minds together in the studio. It makes me think that it was because em was surrounded by these kinds of people that his addiction got as bad as it did, like he was talking about how theyre relationship fell through because it became a business thing but were you really friends? If these were the kinds of friends em had im glad he kicked them to the curb. |

starrdreamer71 if you’re still attending tomorrow, please report back anything and enjoy! I did attend. I didn't get pictures and wasn't as close to the stage as I wanted to be, but it was an awesome show. Sklyer Grey was awesome too and they sang Love The Way You Lie, 2 my favorite version. I was hoping to get close enough to the stage to give him a birthday gift but that didn't happen, and security wouldn't give it to him. 😞 I wonder if there is any way to mail it to him? I don't know if he even gets anything given to him from a fan mail address. |

Hey guys, Just catching-up to all this Royce D. nonsense - I'm sick and tired of this guy and his self-proclaimed genius status + memes (I personally thought the meme's he included over the past few days of his dad + various act's he has had problems with were tasteless and immature)! Royce D. is a narcissistic psychopath and the fact that he has the utmost respect for Royce is indicative of his personality behind the scenes. . . I don't know what to think but the fact that he hasn't said anything suggests that he's behind Royce's antics, looks like Royce has been working over-time on behalf of Mr. Mathers and if so how lame/pathetic! He's a grown ass-man and it's sad when you think of how he and his team has been manipulating his audience, I lost respect! If he has something to say, he should say it but I guess he's afraid of the backlash/losing fans (whatever happened to Mr. I Don't Give a Fuck) I have a feeling he has Royce D. making amends on his behalf because a) he might be retiring soon and wants to end everything on a good note/closure or b) he's tired of "hiding" aspects of his personal life and is hoping to come clean and doesn't want anyone attacking him c) a possible new project between him and Royce D. (barf) I know it's entertainment (the feuds were more than likely staged) but with what Royce D. is doing (most likely on his behalf) he is literally ruining the image/legacy he built in the early 2000's - he is becoming a joke/clown! p.s I don't think Mr. Mathers is away from social media like I once assumed, I think he is very much obsessed with his fame/status right alongside Royce D. except he is silent - or he has let his manager Paul R. takeover as usual (sad/lame) wish he had the same confidence/playfulness he once did and took control over his social media accounts. . . I'm sorry to say this but i don't think , and said this before, that Em is behind Royce's antics or that he's a narcissistic psycho just like him.If Royce is an idiot doesn't necessarily mean everyone around him are idiots too. How Royce behaves is an indicator of his personality, NOT Eminem's.. i'm not going to judge Eminem based on Royce,this is just stupid. Maybe he didn't say anything in order to not cause problems idk.Em just respects him as a rapper,nothing more,as friends they don't seem that close, and i feel like Em might've kept Royce as a "friend" all this time just bc Em has a good heart (yes, despite all his issues and flaws) and turns a blind eye to Royce's bs or maybe bc he's used to it, just my opinion. Plus everyone knows that Em is loyal when it comes to ppl he trusts..Call it bs idk. But how is what Royce's doing is actually on Eminem's behalf? Or the amends stuff...That's something i didn't get either.. And what's the deal with "manipulating the audience" you keep bringing about? |

Either way it doesn’t matter, I was just curious. it’s actually very common for people to be paid for endorsements, but you could see what kind of attention it brings to some, so hopefully it is something they are passionate about and not just for a paycheck. |

I don't think they paid her or Em. Celebrities campaign on behalf of candidates because they support them not because they are looking for a payday. Besides, she campaigned for Obama both times he ran. I don't recall Em showing up at a political rally before, so I think this is a first for him. Also, did you see how the audience booed when they realized she wasn't going to perform? She's always performed before at political rallies. They should have asked her to perform. Bruce Springsteen performed. Usher and GloRilla performed. Beyonce should have performed. |

I’d assume they might be reimbursed for travel or other expenses, but they do have to disclose it, so it could be found out later. I don’t see either of them taking money - it comes across as inauthentic and she’s performed at democratic events w/ Obama when in office, and he’s been outspoken |
