Damn a lot of stuff involving Eminem has happened recently, and that includes him getting into
a little bit of beef with Joe Budden and MGK. Eminem recently gave his perspective on this
situation in an interview with Sway, and today I’m just gonna run through it and let you
guys know what I think. So with that being said, this is CDTVProductions, and let’s
see what eminem had to say about Joe Budden and Machine Gun Kelly.
Joe Budden:
So Eminem explained that the reason he’s been going at Joe lately is because he feels
backstabbed by what Joe has been doing recently. Eminem talked about how he was trying his
hardest with his platform to put Slaughterhouse on, the rap supergroup that Joe was a part
of along with Crooked I, Joell Ortiz & Royce Da 5’9”, whereas Joe used his platform
to criticise Eminem’s music harshly, specifically the song Untouchable and the album Revival.
Now I can kind of understand Eminem’s anger here, he was mostly annoyed at the way Joe
expressed his frustrations with Eminem’s music, not purely the fact that he was frustrated
with it. I think it’s perfectly fine for Joe to criticise Eminem’s music if he feels
it is subpar, everyone has the right to do that, but I will admit the exact wording he
used did come off as a little unnecessary at times, such as when he labelled some of
Em’s music as trash. Joe does like to deliver his criticisms in a very blunt and up front
way, and I feel like that is what caught Em off guard. As Eminem says, it’s hard to
believe that Joe genuinely thinks Untouchable is one of the worst songs he’s ever heard
in his life. More than anything, he genuinely seemed quite upset about the whole situation,
and did bite his tongue a bit when it seemed he was really gonna start verbally bashing
Joe. I can honestly see where each person is coming from here, but I’m leaning more
towards siding with Eminem, and not just because I prefer his music, that’s not a factor
here, but because I understand his perspective on this one. Yes, Joe has every right to express
how he honestly feels about Eminem’s music despite all the support that Eminem has given
him over the years. That support shouldn’t stop him from speaking his mind. BUT the way
in which he did it, didn’t seem very genuine at all. I do feel like Joe really over exaggerated
his opinions about Eminem’s recent music for the sake of controversy and being a bit
more entertaining, and I can see why that would come off as a slap in the face to Eminem.
I think Eminem firing back at Joe was justified. That’s how I feel about that, and I’d
be interested to hear your thoughts on it in the comments. but we’re not done yet.
So now, lets have a look at what he had to say on MGK.
MGK:
Now I gave some of my thoughts on this situation in the newest BlackySpeakz video which I featured
in, so check that out if you wanna hear a couple of the points I had to make. Now this
was interesting as Eminem revealed the exact reason he dissed Kelly, with the primary one
being Kelly’s subliminal disses at Eminem in the song No Reason by Tech N9ne and MGK’s
shots at Eminem in an LA Leakers freestyle. Eminem was definitely still angry at the fact
that MGK said some things about his daughter, how could he not be, but he makes it clear
that that was not the primary reason for his disses. The interview really starts to get
good when Eminem starts talking about how he just doesn’t give a f*** about MGK or
his career, and he reveals that he’s not sure if he’ll make a response track to MGK’s
diss, and it seems kinda unlikely that
he will. I can see Eminem’s point of view on this one, him making a whole track aimed
at Kelly would undoubtedly just give him more and more relevance, but I’d be lying if
I said I’m not upset at the idea of there being no diss track at all. I was really excited
for it, and it seemed like it was getting hyped up. Speaking of Rap Devil, MGK’s diss
track, Eminem even discredited a thing or two that Machine Gun had to say in that track.
For example, he says that he never called Interscope or Diddy, which MGK claimed Eminem
did do to try and hinder his career. Overall, Eminem described the track as “not bad by
MGK’s standards” and says it was pretty “pitiful”. I’m still holding out hope
that we might see a response, but
right now it
seems like it won’t happen.
