Em takes us back in time. The publication of a special edition of his album The Eminem Show on streaming platforms a few days ago, in order to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the release of the cake in stores, will have made it possible to (re)discover a well-buried piece, in which Slim Shady attacks to Ja Rule.
The archives show me
Back to the early 2000s, at a time when clans Shady Aftermath and G-Unit Records had united against Murder Inc. The beef may have been extinguished for a long time, but that did not prevent Eminem from pulling out of his archives a clash intended for Ja Rule, to be found on theExpanded Edition of The Eminem Show, listening recently on Apple Music, Spotify and others. The title in question, Bump Headsmakes it possible to find a firebrand intended for the interpreter of Never Againon which align themselves besides 50 Cent but also Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks.
Em’s passage is particularly salty: « But this motherfucker Ja must have lost his mind/That X, got him thinkin’ he was DMX/Then he switched to Pac, now he’s tryna be him next/So which one are you? X, Luther, Pac or Michael?/Just keep singin’ the same song, recycled » (“That kid Ja must’ve lost his mind/That X (ecstasy) must’ve made him think he was DMX/Then he switched to Pac/So which one are you?/X, Luther, Pac or Michael/Just sing the same songs, recycled. »)
A scud that arrived late, unearthed for the occasion, and which should bring back some memories to listeners of the time.
