Rumors of an impending alternative version of Eminem’s Music To Be Murdered By album have been floating around online for the past several days. While KXNG Crooked more or less debunked its existence — or at least played coy about knowing anything about it — producer Dem Jointz appeared to suggest otherwise.
In an Instagram post shared on Tuesday (December 15), Dem Jointz displayed the cover art for several projects he says he worked on this year. In addition to crafting the song “Never Love Again” for Music To Be Murdered By, Dem apparently contributed to a Music To Be Murdered By: Side B, which sits right next to the original cover art in the photo.
He wrote in the caption, “Even Thru The Shit-Storm, Thank God For Another Successful Year!! . . . #ProducedWrittenMixedByDemJointz.”
Whether this was an egregious error and Slim Shady and his team are chewing him out as Wednesday (December 16) gets underway remains to be seen. But Shady sleuths have been attempting to uncover clues to confirm another dose of Eminem is right around the corner.
The rumor started to gain steam after fans spotted director Cole Bennett, who was behind Shady’s “Godzilla” video, in Detroit’s 8 Mile area. Then, a heavily bearded Eminem was snapped in front of a green screen, pointing to another music video.
On Sunday (December 13), an album cover for the mythical Music To Be Murdered 2: B Sides project began making the rounds on Twitter and was followed by a tracklist boasting features from Royce Da 5’9, Cordae and singer Skylar Grey, among others.
But Crooked insinuated the alleged tracklist was bunk after someone pointed out the COB (Circle of Bosses) logo was fake, tweeting, “Oh I know that part for sure because I own that company haha but salute.” He added, “Dear Stans.. I can absolutely not confirm ANYTHING that has my logo on it. Sorry guys.”
As for Dem Jointz, the Compton native has worked with Dr. Dre numerous times in the past. In 2015, he co-produced four tracks on Dre’s third studio album Compton — “Genocide” featuring Kendrick Lamar, “Medicine Man” with Eminem, Candice Pillay and Anderson .Paak, “Deep Water” featuring Kendrick and Justus and “Satisfiction” with Snoop Dogg, Marsha Ambrosius and King Mez.
KXNG Crooked Addresses Eminem 'Music To Be Murdered By' Sequel Rumors
This year’s credits include Kanye West’s “Wash Us in the Blood” featuring Travis Scott and Super Junior’s “2YA2YAO!” He’s also produced music for Janet Jackson, Brandy, Jordin Sparks, Rihanna, and Christina Aguilera.
Music To Be Murdered By found Eminem rapping over Dre beats for the first time since Recovery’s “So Bad.” The billionaire Hip Hop mogul is credited as executive producer on the album. For now, Shady fans are hoping Side B will arrive on Friday (December 18).
Here come the incels to tell us either Eminem is the best to ever do it or how butthurt they are that he’s not a fan of Donald Trump lmao
Listening to a certain artist makes you an incel?
When youre a racist who hates white people succeeding.. yes.. either an incel or uncle tom depending who replies
Ohhhh okay, I didn’t know musical preference makes someone a racist. My bad..
I didn’t read that anYwhere in dude’s post but Nice try…
I’m so happy Eminem is still releasing new music! He is definitely one of a kind!
Here come the internet gangsters who can’t handle that one of the greats is white and say nonsense like “No one listens to Eminem in the Hood”; blah blah blah.
Who cares what they listen to in the hood?
Lord Jamar says hi.
“who cares what they listen to in the hood?”I couldn’t have thought of a whiter response in my life. Much like with most of this generation you take everything at face value. Where did rap popularize from?… The hoods of New York. So when a person say that no one listens to Eminem in the hood he’s saying that people who truly resonate with hip hop don’t really find him as dope as others may. Its like when Aries spears said that Key and Peele aren’t that funny in the hood. its saying that while they are t funny that their humor doesn’t resonate with those who have an authentic understanding of African American culture and humor…Like a Dave Chappelle, Eddie Murphy or Richard Pryor. I will however tell you who does care what they listen to in the hood…thats white america cause that’s where they find their trends from.
It’s really not that serious
Lord Jamar says hi.
I never listen to Em when I’m pistol whipping old folks and charging them 10k to clean their ducts
Em looks like Ellen Degenerate even more now that that elf has Covid.
Eminem is the GOAT
If the tracksuit is indeed real fuckin way too many features cmon. 1-2 ok not almost the whole list tho
not really, Em has a lot of features to give other artists a chance to get out there. He’s gotten shit for not doing much for artists signed to his label in the past, so giving them features on his album is doing them a huge favor. Plus Em has always been a “better in small-moderate” dosages type of artist. a 10-12 song album filled with nothing but Em bars would get repetitive and tiring fast.
Lets see if this albumn can be better than MTBMB. Idk mtbmb is one of his better albumns since mmlp2. No disrespect to kamiakze which is a fine albumn and revival.
