Eminem‘s diss track, “Smack You,” aimed at both Suge Knight and Ja Rule, has leaked online.
The song, which appears to date from the mid ’00s during the height of 50 Cent‘s feud with Ja Rule, sees Em eviscerate both the former Murder Inc. star and Death Row Records co-founder.

He pointedly blames Suge for the deaths of 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G., rapping: “I’m holding Suge responsible for the deaths of the two greatest rappers to ever grace the face of this planet.”
The Detroit native then adds: “If only the late, great Mr. Christopher Wallace could talk / He could tell you himself / I’m holding Suge responsible for the death of Ja Rule or anyone else down with Tha Row.”

Slim Shady also mocks Ja for trying to associate with Suge: “Beggin’ Suge to get him to follow you to all the clubs / But you’re too dumb to see that your publishing’s all he wants / Thinkin’ you friends ’til he gets it and you’re the next rapper / Sittin’ on the passenger side of that Benz that gets hit again.
“And LAPD’ll be saying, ‘Who did this shit again?’ / Knowing who did it, but still nobody admits it / But if I get killed for this shit, I know who did it.”
Eminem continues to go at the Queens, New York native for modelling himself after 2Pac: “I don’t know why the fuck you even gotta get me started / I swear to God, you gotta be retarded, you’re regarded / The hardest workin’ artist since ‘Pac? Stop, no, you’re not / Oh my God! Knock it off, Ja, get off his jock.”
Eminem has not commented on the decades-old track leaking, while Ja Rule and Suge Knight are yet to issue a response to the diss.

“Smack You” is one of over a dozen Em tracks that have leaked in recent days, with previously unreleased collaborations with 50 Cent, Nate Dogg, Slaughterhouse, Anderson .Paak and Westside Boogie also surfacing online.
Longtime Aftermath producer Fredwreck did not take kindly to the leaks, warning the culprit on social media: “FYI to the criminal who’s leaking the Eminem music. We will find you. Street law will be applied. Ask ‘Koolo’ what happened to him last time he leaked. We know where he lives and Yes this is a threat.”
While on “Smack You” Eminem blames Suge Knight for the death of 2Pac and Biggie, on more recent tracks he has pointed the finger at Diddy.
On a remix of his Death of Slim Shady track “Fuel,” he spit: “The Notorious B.I.G.’s death was the domino effects of 2Pac’s murder / Like facial tissue, whose card should I clean next? Puff’s?”

“‘Til he’s in police handcuffs, guilty, will he step up? / Like gee, never turned himself in, who knows all the murders there’s been / Or me next up, prepare for me to not choose none of my words carefully.”
