Eminem’s Thoughts on Collaboration
Eminem expressed that he believes a collaboration with 50 Cent “would be great.”
After contributing to the new album by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg titled ‘Missionary,’ where he worked with 50 Cent on the track ‘Gunz N Smoke,’ Eminem recently chatted with Shade 45 DJ Woo Kidd. When questioned about the possibility of recording an album with 50 Cent, he stated: “That would be great. We just need to stop the bullshit and just do it.”
Eminem further remarked: “I would never say it’s impossible, damn it.”
Their Collaborative History
Their joint effort on “Gunz N Smoke” marked the latest instance of the two rappers recording together. Eminem initially signed with 50 Cent’s Shady Records in 2002 and featured on 50 Cent’s 2003 debut album Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ on tracks like “Patiently Waiting” and “Don’t Push Me.”
Since then, they have collaborated on various songs, resulting in nearly twenty recorded collaborations to date.
Recent Developments in Eminem’s Career
Before his involvement in Missionary, Eminem released his latest album, The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace). In a three-star review of the album, NME wrote: “Much more powerful is ‘Temporary,’ a truly touching ode to his daughter Hayley that proves Marshall Mathers can say something important when he wants to.
“So, who killed Slim Shady? By bringing him back into the light and casting him as irrelevant, Eminem may have ended his old pal for good. Okay, we get it – Shady was a shocking character. Now that he’s dead, how about we get some new material?”
Recently, Eminem opened the 2024 MTV VMAs, performing “Houdini” and “Somebody Save Me.” He also won two awards: “Best Hip-Hop” and “Best Visual.” His performance included a creative homage to his early 2000s acts, featuring an army of Slim Shady clones.
Eminem is set to make a cameo appearance in Adam Sandler’s upcoming film in 2025, Happy Gilmore 2. While Sandler did not disclose Eminem’s role or the specifics of his contribution to the plot, he stated, “Eminem was cool. He came, he was great. I’ve known Eminem for a long time, he’s a great guy, he came in and was funny as hell.”
Sandler elaborated: “I think we just spent the day with Eminem and he just kept shooting and shooting, and he was crazy. He said a million things we can use and a million things we’re glad we got on tape.”
