Videographer Cole Bennett, who directed Eminem’s “Godzilla” and “Gnat” videos, clearly has a direct line to Slim Shady. So when Bennett suggested an Eminem and Post Malone collaboration was possibly in the works, Stans worldwide stood up.
On Sunday (May 23), Bennett shared a since-deleted photo to his Instagram Stories that included both an M&M figure in the background and a baseball bat adorned with Post Malone’s signature barbed-wire pattern, as previously used on his Beerbongs & Bentleys album.
He added a “shocked” and “shhh” emoji as well, pointing to a big announcement.
Singer-songwriter White Gold, who appeared “You Gon Learn” and “Zeus” from Eminem’s Music To Be Murdered By [Deluxe] album, first perpetuated the rumor after Side B was released in December 2020.
“I got some shit man,” he said at the time. “There’s one I really want him and Post Malone to do. I have the perfect song for them to be on.”
Eminem has linked up with plenty of pop artists during the course of his storied career, including Rihanna, Sia, Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé.
Dr. Dre, Eminem & Kendrick Lamar Collab Rumors Explode On Twitter
In fact, “Love The Way You Lie” featuring Rihanna is one of Shady’s most successful crossover hits. Released in 2010, the track spent seven consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was eventually certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
The video for the song currently boasts over over 2.2 billion YouTube views. Considering Post Malone’s immense star power, a duet with Eminem could just be one of the biggest songs ever.
Revisit the video below.
As long as Em is just in charge of his verse and has no say in the hook, it should be fire! Lol
Honestly, his music is so joyless and out of touch with modern music that as long as he just hums while Post Malone raps, everything should be fine. Seriously, they need to just give him a harmonica and have Post Malone say “Shut up!” everytime Eminem busts in with his ridiculous gibberish.
“I’m a Goat and don’t you forget it!”
Post Malone: SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH THAT NOISE!!!!
And then he can finish the song
Lol I didn’t mean all that…. I’m an Em fan, I’m js he can have some corny ass hooks sometimes… that said, his last two albums were some of his best!.. and It’s good he’s out of touch with the way modern music sounds cause it all sounds the same.
Yes! when real hip-hop happens it’s epic (white boyz stand up!!)
“Check my ball hair, make sure it’s all there…”
Actual lyric from Eminem’s “Real hip-hop album” about his dad beating him with a belt when he was 5. Set over the tune of a stolen Alfred Hitchcock song.
“White boys stand up! Let’s all check our ball hair! Make sure it’s all there! Cheer for Fred Astaire! Touch women down there!”
*facepalm*
God love your heart, I can’t even go on here.
Eminem the greatest face facts period
2 legendz in da game
They should be a group .. the meth poots…
Call me old fashioned (i’m new school futuristic…) but the reason i can’t like the millennial trap rappers is a few things:
1-they all got ugly stupid names (Migos , Post Malone , Sway Lee , DaBaby , A Boogie With Da Hoodie , Your Old Droog , Young M.A , Lizzo , K Camp , Rich Homie Quan , Roddy Ricch , Fivio Foreign , Freddie Gibbs , CyHi the Prynce , B.O.B , Kid Cudi , Chance the Rapper , Homeboy Sandman , Takeoff , Fredo Bang , Young Thug , Justin Rarri , Anderson Paak , Moneybagg Yo , OMB Peezy , YNW Melly , 21 Savage , Wifisfuneral , Stunna 4 Vegas , Gunna , Kodak Black , ILoveMakkonen , Blueface , Trap Beckham , Smokepurpp , Dej Loaf , Harry Fraud , Tierra Whack , Lil Baby , Lil B , Lil Yachty , Lil Uzi Vert , Youngboy Never Broke Again , Guapdad 4000 , 03 Greedo , etc. (and the list of names goes on…)
2-they all don’t have any DJ scratching on their songs or instrumentals -* which is why they are not real hip hop artists
3-they all don’t have any breakdancing in their songs (or don’t dance or make up some sellout dancing that is not cool) some of the trap rap people dance , but not in the b-boy/b-girl styles
4-they all don’t have any graffitti or creative art for their album covers and merchandise , which is why they are not real members of the nubian black artists culture timeline. they are not hip hop…
*and many more reasons , as to why i will never like , listen to , or work with any millennial musicians (they all suck really bad). This is my personal opinion (think whatever you want. disagree or agree) I like to listen to the lyrics in the music i purchase/download and i like to learn lessons of intelligent information being given to the fans in rap music (no millennials have any smart lyrics and all just talk sex , drugs , money , violence , war and crime. None of them are politically aware of Earth events and none of them make any truly creative conscious music to listen to , where a person could gain some thoughts/feelings from listening to these ‘rappers’. All of them are dumb and aren’t saying anything important , so , in terms of industry politics organization , the whole generation is a loss/write-off and never needs to be out in the game.
-you all can like whatever you want , and these new kids , who do seem to make money , are successful , but none of them have what it takes to be remembered as a legendary lyricist in the history of hip hop. Like them if you want , but , we’ve seen artists like them all come and go and just be a flash in the pan as they say. One hit wonders. It’s good that they developed their own ‘lane’ and stay true to whoever they all are (!*) but no one , of their generation , or any generations before them (2020, 2010, 2000, 1990, 1980 + etc.) have to like or love them , if we don’t agree or feel , or know what kinds of music they are ‘creating’ and no one has to buy them , not even based on the fact that they are the ‘new kids on the block’ and are “popular” or trending viral in the internet era.
-And also , these young artists are being totally disrespectful to the older artists , when they say that , “oh , you old MCs are over and done with and you people need to leave the music entertainment industry , because you are over the hill and old and outdated and don’t matter anymore [for the record, in rock and roll , singers do music from birth to death and beyond. if you millennial kids didn’t know this about life , you should learn it…people can make music forever. there is no timestamp or age limits on anyone making music. so you little punk brat trap millennials need to shut the hell up with your unnecessary opinions about ‘rappers from the past being too old’. None of them are. They are experienced veterans in an ever-expanding entrepreneurial industry and are in the middles of their careers. (not being punk rookies like you millennials/new jack rappers) so fall back , when it comes to saying negative stuff about the older , wiser classic experienced MCs before you , who paved the way in the world of money to even create the reality of hip hop in the public places (millennials don’t know how much war and pain and loss and struggle and death , money and work* people put into getting hip hop as far as it has gone, because , way back in the days , we didn’t even have the internet , so the MCs had to do alot more labour and earnest entrepreneurialism to get our music heard on the radio and played in the clubs. music was not as easily accessible to the universe , as it is today with websites and mp3s and streaming services and youtube , itunes , etc. . oh how little these new kids know about the reality of life in the world. and they’ll never really , really know because I speak of an era of existence before their birth and time. Some of these legendary superstar celebrities have albums older than you new kid rap people. Always remember that…
+All in all , i’ve said what I needed to say and , personally , if i could have it my way , i’d get rid of 99% of the new people in the music industry business game and just listen to the songs from yesterday…because if the black race is making any indication about where do we go from here , entertainment-wise , then , things aren’t looking so good for the hip hop culture , and music in general , so , millennial ‘rappers’ , to be anyone in this game , please remember to work on your -wordplay -lyrics -voice -imagestyle -character -personality -information -artwork -message* -music meaning*! and actual beautiful creations in this thing we call “Hip Hop”…because if you don’t know the past , then you don’t know the future…-! Enough. I’m done. for now. thank you for hearing my side of personal opinions. That’s my story and i’m sticking to it. Listen to my words with cautious critical concern , because , the life you save might be your motherfu*king own… 1
Bitch that took me half a day trying to scroll through and ignore
I see you like writing books.
“They all got stupid names that are black sounding and I think black things are stupid. I don’t understand this culture and think a dude naming himself after a candy is really, really spiritual and dopey… I mean dope.”
So basically I’m completely white and relate to white things and black men with gold teeth scare me.
Well boo MF, they’re not going away.
(2) Intelligent lyrics from Eminem’s last album: “Stick a thermometer up her ass,” and “Check my ball hair, make sure it’s all there.” Along with literally – and I counted them – 1,001 similes that a third grader might have come up with when they’re bored. So basically that’s strike 2.
I’m not even going to get to strike 3 which is… just wow, like I can’t even get that far, I’m retiring here like Eminem should.
thats why its called new school rap, dont mix it with hip hop, there are still few hip hop acts, but mostly rap took over.
TLDR.
Imagine writing all that, no one cares and 99% wont read past you listing 1000 names you dont like
I stopped reading after you started calling these Gen Z rappers, Millennial.
Bruh…it aint that serious
well…. uh, congrats on being the only person in the history of the world to lump Homeboy Sandman and Lil Yatchy in the same musical group.
An old washed up wigger and a younger wigger. Should be great content. Lmao.
I made sure I screenshot your comments for Eminem and Posty too see wow degrading is not cool.
Sounds like a career suicide for Post Malone working with this 60 year old peepee poopoo fart and burp sound rapper.
Says a wack , mumble, simple-minded , half-witted retarded ,benighted son of a dumb strumpet who sucks dicks for a slice of pizza ???
Like ur grandma, right?
Em! Prepare to be a legend!!!! Post Malone is the only thing missing from your catalog. Thank him in advance. You’re about to transcend stardom with this one.
could be good – don’t see any reason why Em wouldn’t want to collab with Posty. They are different types of artistes might be an fun combo
Yes the person who posted on here about Eminem being old I give credit where credit is earned at least Eminem is not addicted to drugs and alcohol like Post Malone is and not one person can out rap Em. He is a great performer they both are but he has his act together Em does. That be good idea for them too collaborate a song together absolutely.
Stan here, and I gotta say this is the type of song that Eminem will ruin and just not fit. The feature he had on “lord above” last year was the best feature verse he did in at least 5 years. This will be that kid Cudi type bullshit from last year. The one massive gripe I have with Em is he ducks real talent even though he will still either tie or best them. Why not collaborate with Jigga again? Lupe? Kendrick again? Lyrical underground cats? My one gripe that is too late in his career to overturn unfortunately
I realize I’m late to this discussion but here’s my two cents on why this is a bad idea:
Malone has shit on hiphop and black culture whereas Em has embraced it. Em was born elsewhere, grew up in Detroit and at least shows respect to the black mans art form. Malone on the other hand is a privileged white kid from the suburbs that openly uses hiphop for strictly profitable gains, while having been recorded dropping n****r (and having his white fans brush it off), and openly dissing hiphop as having no substance to it and being merely party music. But hey, when you’re hot like Malone is people will overlook the problems for a good paycheck. Everyone has a price tag attached them.
