Par for the course, a handful of Hip Hop/rap singles arrived at midnight EST on Friday (June 24). But nobody was really expecting a collaboration from Eminem and Snoop Dogg — at least not tonight. Shortly after the magical hour, Eminem posted a tweet promoting a new song called “From The D 2 LBC” and its accompanying video.
He wrote in the caption, “Took too long to reconnect with @snoopdogg you know we had to make a movie! http://Eminem.lnk.to/FromTheD2TheLBC #FromTheDToTheLBC #curtaincall2 @BoredApeYC.”
The post included the single art, which boasted a comic book aesthetic and two cartoon monkeys intended to represent both Snoop Dogg and Slim Shady and their connection to NFT collection Bored Ape. He quickly followed up with another tweet plugging the video as well.
Eminem and Snoop Dogg hit a little bump in their longtime friendship in 2020 after the D-O-Double-G failed to name his fellow Dr. Dre protégé in his Top 10 rappers list. Shady returned fire with a lightweight jab on the Music To Be Murdered By: Side B cut “Zeus” when he rapped, “As far as squashing beef I’m used to people knocking me/But just not in my camp/And diplomatic as I’m tryin’ to be/Last thing I need is Snoop doggin’ me/Man, Dogg, you was like a damn god to me/Meh, not really (haha)/I had dog backwards.”
Snoop Dogg replied with, “Pray I don’t answer that soft ass shit.” Eminem later explained it was Snoop’s tone that didn’t sit right with him during a December 2020 interview with Shade 45.
“Everything he said, by the way, was fine, up to a point,” Em explained around the 30-minute mark of the interview. “Him saying I’m not in his top 10 because there are some rappers in the ’90s I can’t fuck with…A: Him saying Dre made the best version of me, absolutely, why would I have a problem with that? Would I be here without Dre? Fuck no, I wouldn’t. The rappers he mentioned from the ‘90s—KRS One, Big Daddy Kane, [Kool] G Rap—I’ve never said I could fuck with them. I never said that.”
Snoop Dogg Reveals How He & Eminem Squashed Their Beef
He continued, “I think it was more about the tone he was using that caught me off-guard ’cause I’m like, where is this coming from? I just saw you, what the fuck? It threw me for a loop. Again, I probably could’ve gotten past the whole tone and everything, but it was the last statement where he said, ‘Far as music I can live without, I can live without that shit.’ Now you’re being disrespectful. It just caught me off-guard. I wasn’t ready for that.”
Less than year later, Snoop and Eminem were posted up at the studio working on new material, which Snoop confirmed when he took over Shade 45 for an interview with his Mt. Westmore brethren Too $hort.
“Everybody’s solo song was the last verse of the song before that, except the one with me and Eminem,” he explained. “Because I felt like that was like a big reveal. When n-ggas hear that Eminem on that muthafucka, that’s just a whole other level.”
DJ Whoo Kid shared the clip to his Twitter page and appeared to confirm the collab with, “That new @snoopdogg and @eminem is coming soon.” And it looks like Hip Hop fans just got it. Check out the visual component below.
I guarantee you drake will not be a washes up sellout like these 2 50 year old grandpa’s. Either he will reinvent rap for generations or retire ar his prime.
Weird comment wtf does that have to do with anything. It never makes sense when someone has that much animosity about people but still clicks into posts about them. Scroll on then, Mad Rapper lol
These 50 year olds need to keep going because every single young rapper apart from people like Joyner, Kendrick, Boogie & a few more… Suck so bad.
Stop being salty about that Saturday night fever album drake put out and taking it out on everyone.
Drake transitioned into the village ppl genre lolz
It’s actually dope!! Drake is reinventing the house genre
Slow down there buddy. Drake’s dick can’t be that good.
Get Drake’s dong out your mouth.
This song was trash. Snoop tryna rap fast but have to whisper to make it through. And his adlibs messing up the whole flow. Em sounds like a robot as usual.
Cap, id like to hear how you would keep up on that beat . Snoop definitely kept up with em… Which is rare… Especially for someone who rapped n damn near the 80s. Snoop, fat Joe, Nas, and hov really the only ones who can keep up on new beats who rapped in the early 90s
Im not a rapper so I dont gotta keep up with anything. All I know is Snoops verse couldve fitted right in on that Ying Yang Twins joint with his whispering bs. Snoop obviosly rapped fast because he was scared of being washed instead of trusting in his own style. His lyrics are fine btw, but that delivery was terrible. Eminems delivery was terrible too. Back to BP2.
We already know wut time it is w Em, but I wasn’t expecting that from Snoop, this is hot.
Yeah never thought snoop could keep up with em .. and he did. One of the few old school rappers that can hop on new tracks and change his flow. Busta rhymes for example can’t even keep up with future on futures tracks lol … Big W for snoop on this one. Snoop feeling like hov at this point.
Eminem is honestly overrated. His gimmick style fools people into thinking hes better than he is. Snoop actually showed him how to rhyme fast while still sounding melodic and not robotic. And he uses actual sentence structure, not just connecting rhyming words that dont form complete sentences.
Eminem is a cuckold who hate his own skin color.
Your a hoe
I got love for Em and Snoop. But this ain´t my type of joint. Still wish them great success with it.
And to the rest in the comment section. F#ck you!
Try to be positive and respect the legends.
Song is fire. Fkin love it
This complicates my album roll out. I suppose I should pivot back to photoshopped dick pics on IG. Maybe diss some other legends like God, Albert Einstein, Scorcese
LMAOOOOOO. PLUS HE GOT UNCLE SNOOP COSIGN.
Holy cow eminem sounds like a broken robot right here where the song is skipping lol. Soo freaking bad.
MUSICALLY THIS SOUNDS LIKE DJ GREEN LANTERM INVASION EM. NOT BAD!
Em produced it
EM PRODUCED THE GREEN LANTERN JOINTS TOO. WHAT’S YOUR POINT.
god this is garbage
Says the mumble garbage fan
It’s a good joint in my opinion. Both bring it. Snoop steps his game up with the flow. The visuals are also great.
bt like, u know Em wrote snoops verse rright lol
No matter what you make of Em or Snoops rapping style are we just gonna ignore the fact Em came with that hard production again… Dude needs to get back spitting on his own beats again cos dude is highly underrated for his beats!!
“The rappers he mentioned from the ‘90s—KRS One, Big Daddy Kane, [Kool] G Rap” Someone forgot to tell Snoop these rappers are from the 80s.
Eminem is the one who made the comment not Snoop and the rappers began in the 80’s, but reached their prominence in the 90’s which placed them in the 90’s category
Snoop concentrating so hard with that verse like ‘”damn I know eminem bout to pull my throat out my asshoIe I gotta really bring it with this sh!t!”
really dog, you didnt realize Em very obv wrote snoops bars…he always does but based on the flow here this is beyond obv lol pretty sure snoop even admitted it lol
Yikes! Snoop washed em on this. A lesson in how to rhyme fast while still staying on beat. ?
He didn’t stay on beat and he practically whispered his way through it so he could go at that place. Get a grip.
Tell me you don’t know hiphop without telling me you don’t know hiphop… Frydai goes first
really do? You just tooka HUGE ‘L’ with that comment
cuz im guessin you didnt realize Em very obv wrote snoops bars…he always does but based on the flow here this is beyond obv lol pretty sure snoop even admitted it lol
Mf you’re wrong af. Snoop has a legendary pen game when he’s in the booth with the right ones, and was battle rapping before the industry shit. Don’t disrespect Snoop because he didn’t let ‘Em do him dirty on a song.
PS…Hov didn’t get smoked on Renegade either you goofy.
This ain’t it. Sorry Stans.
You know Em produced it cause of the snare lol still not a fan of his beats tho. But this song really good, Snoop had to bring that quick flow.
YOU ALL ARE MESSING UP MY ALBUM ROLLOUT. Going to need to go back to thotting around on IG with shopped dick pics
Anything new from Eminem is what gets my rap attention. The rest can pass.
This is the hardest song out right now. Snoop switched his flow, Em Killed it as usual. ????
