Following the release of Eminem’s ShadyXV record “Fine Line,” Outsidaz lyricist Young Zee has responded to the record with a song of his own titled “Dear Shady.”
On “Fine Line,” Em gives a shout out to Young Zee and the rest of the Outsidaz as he raps, “Zee, you always supported me / You vouched, I will never forget that and / How you guys accepted me for me and Pace / I love you too, you slept on my couch.”
In the music video for Zee’s “Dear Shady,” the visual starts off with vintage footage of Eminem and the Outsidaz taking part in an interview.
“I met Zee in New Jersey,” Eminem says in the video footage. “I came out like a month later. Met Zee. Met the rest of the Outsidaz. Got down with the crew. You know what I’m saying? And the rest is history. It’s like a whole family thing.”
Following the interview footage, Zee’s “Dear Shady” record then begins to play.
Despite a disclaimer at the start of the video that states that Eminem and Zee are “two friends,” on the song, the Newark, New Jersey rapper expresses his grievances with the rapper as he raps about being left out of Slaughterhouse and Em not being there when his house burnt down or when he was arrested.
“Let me ask you / Why you ain’t come to my avenue / When you grabbed dudes for your rap crew / I paid mad dues…Anyhow, my house burnt down/ I’m in Jersey now / You ain’t care, you ain’t even come around / I got locked up for selling quarter pounds down Bordentown / You could have looked out, you could have came and bailed me out,” Lil Zee raps.

So hes mad at shady hes a bum and kept selling drigs after he got put on n em didnt bail him out??fo
Black ppl always think whiite ppl owe u sum esp when a white mans involvedlol em dont owe u shit
true shit and i wonder if he knows slaughterhouse existed before they were signed to shady.
How the fuck did E put Outsidaz on? he was on one song that sounded mad old off the Night Life EP. Other than that Em didn’t do shit for these dudes.
” Lil Zee raps.
Because you keep selling drugs and being a hood rat, rich people don’t get involved with that. grow the fuck up
Dumbass Young Zee. The early Outsidaz/Em collabos were put together shoddily and Em murdered everyone of them on the track. Why the fxck would he want a bunch of other whack niggaz on his music? This guy already had 5 rappers in D12 to put on plus Royce. The only old school shit that woulda been tight would have been if Em signed to Rawkus. That label might have stayed afloat if they coulda held onto Mos, Kweli, Pharoahe Monch than grabbed up Em.
you want shady to spend his money to bail u out..did shady c any of that drug money
flippin lbs and cant even bail himself out
Though this song may be quite condescending, it doesn’t change the fact that “The Outsidaz” are the Illest from the brickz.
REDMAN?
Dope beat. Dope flow. Wack concept.
Damn eminem and zee on this beat together would be insane
+10
Eminem is a dirty MF not even worth a response. But young Zee been rockin, and becuz he addresses a situation with EM, now HHDX decides to give him play, which only shows HHDX’s bias… This is why bullshit rapsites like DX don’t get no street love
Commercial rap gets the GUNCLAP
People aways making excuse for not being loyal Em need the outsiders to be real isn’t ever the best won he just was more gimmicky all this nonsense of if Rawkus would sign Em they would’ve stayed afloat they would sold the company anyway plus Em aint shit without Doc just like Snoop Em hasn’t had a great album in long time all this Em suck needs to stop y’ll be acting like groupies Em don’t know you he know Young Zee so stop acting like bitches
Yo em why didn’t you keep me from going bankrupt.
LOL
Hahaha…
YO EM’ BAD LOOKIN OUT. WHY YOU AINT PROTECTING OUR CURRENCY YO? WE AT 1.20/DOLLAR NOW. MULTI YEAR LOW. YOU SUPPOSED TO BAIL EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING OUT, SON
niggas lookin for handouts from freedman’s bureau
Damn white people
how come rah digga ain’t bail him out? haven’t you learned anything from watching 8 mile? the white boy of the crew always moves on to bigger and better things at the end
Lil Zee? wow.
I’m a 53 year old white male. I’m not going to pretend I’m into rap or follow rap music in general. I don’t. However, I don’t need to be tuned into the rap world to see that Eminem’s rise to fame and wealth resulted in him abandoning a friend. That speaks poorly of Eminem. I think Eminem either needs to start being a real friend, and help Young Zee get some opportunities in the music business, or stop saying he and Young Zee are friends. It’s hypocrisy on Emninem’s part.
what do you know these guys?
middle aged black troll alert
eminem and royce… that’s a perfect example of em reaching out.
many things wrong with this
first off your 53 on a rap site..
2- your a male but your names kelly
3- if you knew anything u know DRE got em where he is lmao
and 4- eminem has put millions in so many peoples (mainly black) pocket its crazy. esp his childhood friends
Zee should probably learn to take responsibility for his own actions, nobody told him to go out and sell crack or do any of that dumb shit. Did he he reach out for help or is he expecting everyone to guess his situation through telepathy? None of the other Outsidahs were on the Shady disk either. Lastly how are you going to accuse someone of being a bad friend on a song in public rather than talking to them in private? Seems a tad hypocritical to me.
As I get older I’m starting to realize “friendships” with white people don’t last. They always turn on you or distance themselves from you after a certain period of time, even if you did a shit load of things for them. I don’t even acknowledge their existence in real life anymore, they’re too racist and shady. Shout out to all my black people.
yeah im sure its all the white folks fault and not you’re bitch ass thats the problem
Yep, all 1 billion or so White people are all the same including the ones being born as we speak. They are born evil
Wow, no wonder you don’t have any friends…
Because his on going friendship with all the other black rappers has broken down because of race? Not to mention his relationship with Royce.
If u cant keep a friendship ur prob a piece of shit
Im sure many black ppl csnt stand u but if u lose all ur friendships thru many yrs let me give u a clue..ur the problem
I’m sorry that a human with white skin has hurt your feelings so badly. If you want to have piece in your life, you should just forgive them, and treat them how you want to be treated. Because really, you’re only hurting yourself by being a racist. Food for thought, let it digest for a bit.
Eminem is blacker than you.
Are you joking? It seems like people don’t know what the fuck racism is anymore. Lemme break it down. Defining someone or discriminating against them based on their skin colour or ethnicity is racism. You’re calling out white people as a whole and “shout out to all my black people”. YOU”RE A FUCKING RACIST. Just because you’re black, doesn’t mean you’re immune to being racist. Fuck sakes.
Nigga is mad wack tho. I dont blame Em for not puttin him on
want some cheese with your whine?
lmfao. “Why you ain’t come to my avenue / When you grabbed dudes for your rap crew” cuz you ass boi! Pacewon is actually nice tho
For anyone saying Shady didn’t put him on the label because he’s wack……please explain why Bizarre was ever made famous then.
cause bizarre was at least an interesting personality
yea don’t get me wrong, zee is a dope ass rapper. i checked out his album musical meltdown a few months ago on youtube. it was supposed to be released commercially but got shelved. lauryn hill and a few others were featured. also the jedi mind tricks song design in malice, zee kills his verse. i just don’t see why he’s acting like shady should put all these dudes careers on his shoulders, he already did that with d12 and royce, plus giving zee a 8 mile and d12 feature.
bc bizarre grew up with him and he didnt just meet him after he started blowing up.
Didnt Em put him on the last D12 album? On his own track?
This just sad and embarrassing. Like that cat Tom Gist who did shit with Camron in like 06-07, then a couple years ago came out with Dear Killa, complaining that he doesnt talk to him anymore.
i think you are thinking of bugz. *checks wikipedia* nope your right. i don’t remember that song but your right. what a twat.
Lol right! Gave him his own track on an album that im sure went atleast platinum.
i just listened to the song and remember that they did it as a promo for him the same way they did for obie on the first d12 album. like zee was going to sign with shady or something. i definitely heard a long ass time ago that he signed to mr. porters label but i don’t think anything ever came out of that.
No good deed goes unpunished. That’s why you keep your circle small. Give somebody a shout out and they use it as an excuse to disrepect you. Would have been better off just forgetting he’s alive.
this nigga expect Em to bail him out because he got caught selling crack LOL stupid ass nigga
HEEEEEY!WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU TROLLING WHEN I GOT LOCKED UP FOR POSESSION OF DRUGS HA?!?YOU COULD HAVE BAILED ME OUT NIGGA!!!!
i mean if i had millions of dollars i would deff bailed him out. thats what friends are for. but life makes u cold. and ur ego grows. and u start not trusting ppl. and u end up dont giving a fuck about anyone anymore. bail is only 10 % of the actual bail. so how much a drug bale could have been the most? 10gs 20 gs?
Well that was wack!Stand up for your own mistakes and stop acting like a fuckin kid!He look hella high in the video too!And who the FUCK is that ugly bitch?!?Thats what nightmares are made of!
Oh your a baboon for sure.
if i was eminem the biggest star in the world in 2002-05 would i spend a bunch of money to get a friend out of jail who was doing dumb shit? outsidaz were also down with the fugees, why didn’t zee hit up wyclef too?
Because Wyclef is broke. Busted an MC Hammer and spent it all on his people.
Why you ain’t giving me breakfast in bed?
just watch the vid..is zee retarded?
Eminem did more for Young Vee (without signing him) than Baby did for (most of) the 2009-2013 Young Money Roster.
No name niggas is always lookin for a handout….
How many albums you put out ?? …… Wow many shows u rock ????…. STFU bum
All these comments are from dick sucking land stilling culture vulture taking dick in the booty white boys who know nothing about hiphop but eminem. Fucking neanderthals lol
siCK beAT THO…I lIKE THIS jOINT.
Dude is just asking him if we were crew why didn’t you put me on ? Em was an underground cat for yrs before his music got terrible and sold out….Zee got caught up in the mix like others… Young Zee is a dope rapper but he doesnt have pop appeal like the others that EM chose.
HAHAHA Thats a stupid argument!Dont you think underground artists wanna blow up?Do you think they choose to not make money?Yeah sure i could “sell out” and make millions of dollars,but i wanna stay underground so that only a few selected people can hear my music.HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Stop blaming Em for your shortcomings and fuck ups homie! That man don’t owe you shit!
Fuck swizz beatz!!WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU WHEN I SAT IN THE CAN?!?YOU COULD HAVE BAILED ME OUT!!!FUCK YOU!
Fuck PUSHA T!!WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU WHEN I SAT IN THE CAN?!?YOU COULD HAVE BAILED ME OUT!!!FUCK YOU!
Fuck 50CENT!!WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU WHEN I SAT IN THE CAN?!?YOU COULD HAVE BAILED ME OUT!!!FUCK YOU!IMMA SUE THE SHIT OUT OF YOU!
Fuck DJ KHALED!!WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU WHEN I SAT IN THE CAN?!?YOU COULD HAVE BAILED ME OUT!!!FUCK YOU!DONT MAKE ME SUE YOUR ASS!
Fuck WAKA WAKA FLOCKA THE FLAME!!WHERE THE FUCK WERE YOU WHEN I SAT IN THE CAN?!?YOU COULD HAVE BAILED ME OUT!!!FUCK YOU!IM ABOUT TO SUE HERE!!
While Zee does sound mad salty, his rhymes were good. Was always a fan of him and Pace. Btw, was he trying to mock the Stan vid?
SMACK battle
