Rumors of a B-Side to Eminem’s Music To Be Murdered By album began making the rounds on social media over the weekend.
The chatter picked up steam after fans spotted director Cole Bennett, who was behind Shady’s “Godzilla” video, in Detroit’s 8 Mile area. A heavily bearded Eminem was then captured in front of a green screen, leading many to assume another music video was in the works.
Soon, an album cover for the mythical Music To Be Murdered 2: B Sides project appeared followed by a tracklist that boasted features from Royce Da 5’9, Cordae and singer Skylar Grey, among others.
But on Sunday (December 13), KXNG Crooked fielded some questions surrounding the rumors and he basically insinuated there was no truth to them. When someone commented on the alleged tracklist and pointed out the COB (Circle of Bosses) logo was fake, Crooked replied, “Oh I know that part for sure because I own that company haha but salute.”
Crooked, Eminem’s longtime friend and collaborator, also shared another Twitter post with the same tracklist attached and wrote, “Dear Stans.. I can absolutely not confirm ANYTHING that has my logo on it. Sorry guys.”
Crooked often addresses Eminem-related topics. Last week, he talked about Em’s longstanding beef with former Shady Records artist Joe Budden during an interview with Smoothvega’s Nothing Beats Experience podcast.
“One day I’m hoping that him and Em will be able to sit down,” he said. “They don’t gotta be friends again, they don’t got to be none of that. Just be men and sit down. Because guess what, they’re two, they cut from the same cloth. They really deep artists, they love their craft.

“If you listen to an Em stan and a Joe fan, it’s a lot of similarities. And they’re good dudes tryna to do the right thing. I just feel like all that was for no reason. I really wish that they would sit down and it might happen.”

I hope Em’s next album is better…MTBMT wasn’t bad, but it was kind of forgettable. Dude needs to drop another Kamikaze or Marshall Mathers LP 2 to avoid being a has been.
Mmlp2 was top 2 worst em albun ever, fym??
You’re a clown. That album was so underrated. Not his best, but it was good. It had a few songs I could do without, but most of his albums do as he tries to reach all of his fans and their interest.
Any music from the Rap God we treasure it, as a devoted super Stan, I will be happy.
Eminem’s name speaks for itself, he is bigger than hip hop itself.
Eminem himself would disagree that he is bigger than hiphop itself because he has too much respect for the art & craft. Fans such as yourself have none which is why nobody takes you stans serious.
Well said…I can tell dude is super pale by his thoughts
I can tell someone is super dark by there hypocritical racism and the inability for true self-analysis or real analysis of “the culture” and its effect on the perception the world has of it
Well Eminem is bigger than hip hop itself that’s a fact. His music charts even in non English speaking countries, Revival was number one in 30 countries that’s power
wu-tang also charts in non english speaking countries. so does drake and kanye. asap rocky & freddie gibbs even charts in non speaking countries. what does any of that have to do with being bigger than hiphop??? You dont listen to hiphop you just listen to Em. Which is the issue right there. Don’t speak on a genre you know nothing about all because you listen to Eminem.
Rap God? Bigger than hiphop?? Ok Stanley. LMA0
I like Em. I was his demographic for a long time when he first came out (I was 16 when he was in the unsigned hype column of The Source), so I’ve been following his career pretty f’n close.
It’s a joke to think he’s bigger than hip hop.
I like Em much less these days. He’ll still kill a verse, but his albums aren’t a fraction as good as they used to be. Or maybe my ears matured, while his sound didn’t.
Well good for yourself to think like that, convince yourself that you matured, that doesn’t even harm or tarnish Eminem. For some of us, he is getting better and better by each album, the old Eminem is for mentally unstable people the new Eminem is for mature people.
Eminem is the GOAT
I am the biggest Stan ever. So fucking big, that I’ve blowed Eminem, along with D-12 and they all took turns hitting me from the back and they all blowed their load on my face and stretched my asshole really, really big, like this big> O…
