Snoop Dogg and Eminem‘s decades-long friendship soured last year when Snoop left Slim Shady out of his Top 10 rappers of all time list during an appearance on The Breakfast Club, arguing his lofty stature in the rap game is due to his association with Dr. Dre.
The omission didn’t sit well with Eminem, who responded to Snoop Dogg on his 2020 album Music To Be Murdered By: Side B. “Last thing I need is Snoop doggin’ me/Man, Dogg, you was like a damn god to me/Nah, not really/I had ‘dog’ backwards,” he rapped on “Zeus.”
Snoop dismissed Em’s lyrical jabs as “soft-ass shit,” while Method Man and KXNG Crooked weighed in on the spat between the two Hip Hop titans. However, the “Bitch Please II” collaborators eventually managed to settle their differences, with Snoop revealing on Instagram in January that he and Em are “good.”
During his return to The Breakfast Club on Wednesday (October 27), Snoop Dogg explained how he and Eminem buried the hatchet, revealing they had a “long conversation” in which Snoop apologized to Em for speaking out of turn.
“Man, I love Eminem!” he said. “The thing is that we love Hip Hop so much, we competitive, we battle rappers, so that was supposed to trigger that in him. But we brothers and we family so we learned to appreciate each other for what we do and how we get down, and we had a long conversation about the respect that we have for each other and the way we need to talk in public about each other.
“I felt like I was out of pocket. I apologized to him and I let him know that I’m just bettering myself. I make mistakes, I ain’t perfect, I’m Snoop Dogg.”
Snoop Dogg, who recently celebrated his 50th birthday, has been applauded for owning up to his mistake. “It’s called GROWTH. Wish it was contagious,” one fan commented on The Breakfast Club‘s Instagram post, while another wrote, “That’s G Stuff!!! Tell ya Dawg when you wrong!”
Snoop Dogg and Eminem are set to join forces at the Super Bowl LVI next February, where they will perform at the Pepsi halftime show alongside fellow Hip Hop and R&B luminaries Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige. It appears there’s also a collaboration in the works between the “Bitch Please II” pair.
Eminem & Snoop Dogg Have A Collaboration On The Way Despite Past So-Called Beef
Meanwhile, Uncle Snoop and Slim Shady recently teamed up to star in 50 Cent’s BMF series, with Snoop playing a pastor and Em portraying FBI informant Richard “White Boy Rick” Wershe Jr.

Big ups to Snoop for apologizing, real rec real
“I’m sorry I told the truth, and God forgive whatever delusion you have that leads you to believe you were actually in the top 5 of anyone’s list but a pre-pubescent girl or boy. Peace.”
Wasn’t really a beef, just a minor disagreement. The media really blew it out of proportion.
Not really. Eminem made verses about it. Which were also terrible and a good demonstration of why Snoop Dogg was right. But Snoop needs to sell records to white boos, so gotta suck up to whitey. Eminem is a pop artist. The fact that he ever took himself seriously as a hip-hop artist is laughable.
Eminem stans blew it out of proportion too, like the over-sensitive asses they are.
Thank you for keeping this 64 year young cauc woman in the beat she lives to be in……wooooooord up
So did this really just start because Eminem didn’t like that he wasn’t in Snoop Dogg’s top 5? That sounds really childish “I can live without that shit” Yeah, he saying that he can live without Eminems music. Where tf is the crime, lmfao You guys are so sensitive, christ almighty I mean… Dude is making millions of dollars, and has probably billions of fans. One of your buddies saying they don’t fuck with your music shouldn’t be making someone in that position that upset lol If Snoop doesn’t rock with Eminems music, what, do yall snowflakes want him to lie about it, just so you guys don’t catch hurt feelings? Like, tf? If you aren’t honest with your friends, then they aren’t real friends. Sorry that you’ve been robbed of that experience, apparently.

People here are so damn sensitive towards any criticism of Eminem, or anyone saying they personally don’t rock w/ his music
the only one to be sensitive about dat apology’ shit is you…
u wrote a whole bible about ur “opinion “…
Pathetic !!!
If you were friends with someone for 20 years and had a big respect for one another this would bother any rational person. Are you that stupid or just dumb?
They both squashed it because 12 people even noticed it. Gotta get another headline. At this age, every fabrication counts.
What’s unbelievable is that Eminem actually thought he would make a Top 5 of anyone who knows a damn thing about Hip-Hop. Just the Beastie boys trio would knock him out of any Top 5. Throw in Ice Cube, 2Pac, Biggie, Jay-Z, and any rapper other than Ed Sheeran, and Eminem’s pretty much the hip-hop N’Sync. He sold a lot of records and apparently takes that way too seriously.
You’re an idiot because many of the dudes in top 5 convos put eminem in their top 5. Unless you believe the legends of hip hop dont know shit about hip hop. Kids are dummmmmmmmmmmb
don’t say kids are dumb because tf
12 ppl? Thousand of ppl were talking about it this in many places. Also, Eminem is in many ppl top 5 as he should be and deserves to be. He ranks high in every statistical category aside from sales. Bars, delivery, word play, story telling, longevity all of that he ranks high in so I’m not sure what your deal is but you just sound like a hater. Even if you don’t care for his music like a lot of ppl you should acknowledge and respect what he’s done for hip hop instead of sounding like a bitter little baby.
Eminem wasn’t mad about the top 10 list, but snoop was saying he wouldn’t be anything without Dre which is true , and Snoop said he could do without Eminems catalog which is what made Em upset, because Snoop was always supportive. I hope they work things out for good.
Em didn’t care about snoop putting him in his top 5, because in realty EM will smash snoop and his whole top 5. But when your suppose to be boys and you talk reckless like snoop was then its disrespectful. Anyone who says EM isn’t one of the GREATESET is just mentally handicap and his bars are over there head. That’s why they listen to people like Migos and future, garbage azz mumble rap.
Typical suburban rap listener comment.
Haha, u don’t have to live in the suburbs to acknowledge Eminem’s status as one of the most successful rappers of all time. I really like ems first few albums but nothing much within the last 10 years. Eminem has never been the music u bump driving to show it off but it’s high quality and it’s like saying the Beatles suck. I don’t even like them but I know they don’t suck. Props on snoop and em handling it like respectful gentlemen.
Off subject…. Eminem is only 12 months younger than Snoop.
SnoopLion would crush Marshall Matthers…??
You funny, Eminem would lyrically kill snoop. Em the goat and snoop just a mf mutt.
Okay first of all Snoop Dogg is a G so why are you saying Eminem is better
Leave snoop dogg, Dogg, the beef between him and Eminem have been squashed so move on
Cuz u woke up and realized that cracka raps 50 times better than your ass and would destroy u in a battle
