Melle Mel has dropped a trailer for an Eminem diss track just days after being called out by the Detroit rapper on record.
On Monday (August 7), the 62-year-old veteran shared a brief clip on his social media promoting a new song that is scheduled to drop on Tuesday (August 8) at 5 p.m. EST.
“Breaking News! Melle Mel @mellemelglover Takes a Stand!” the post’s caption reads. “Stay tuned for an Exclusive Sneak Peek coming your way. Something BIG is about to drop! [microphone emoji] #MelleMelEminemShowdown #ComingSoon”
In the video, the Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five rapper can be heard spitting: “No apologies, this ain’t a disclaimer/ I’m the king of legend, the first hall of famer/ Makin’ diss tracks, I know you with that/ Now everybody get ready for the kickback.”
Then as the audio fades, he can be heard saying: “Why you hurt?”
In March, Mel told The Art of Dialogue that Em’s relevance in Hip Hop is directly tied to his skin color.
“Obviously he’s a capable rapper,” he said. “If you was talking about sales, he’s sold more than everybody. If you were talking about rhyme style, okay he got a rhyme style. But he’s white. He’s white!
“So now if Eminem was another n-gga like all the rest of us, would he be Top 5 on that list when a n-gga that could rhyme just as good as him is 35? That had records and all that? He’s 35. He’s white.”
He continued: “And anybody could be as mad … They could feel how they wanna feel. If you don’t think that race plays a part in the equation of how great he is — I heard one of the dudes that’s down with him, Royce Da 6’9″ [mislabelling Royce Da 5’9″] or one of those – I heard he’s just as good as Eminem. Why he ain’t as big as Eminem? Because he’s Black! Ain’t none of that shit hard to figure out. Eminem gets a top spot because he’s white.”
Eminem never quite forgot about the comments as he addressed them in a firestorm of deadly bars on Ez Mil‘s new track, “Realest.”
Released on Friday (August 4), the single features Shady staring down his critics as he raps: “Hip Hop has been good to me, huh/ But when they say that I’m only Top 5 ’cause I’m white, why would I be stunned?/ My skin color’s still working against me/ ‘Cause second, I should be, to none/ Bein’ white being why they put me at five (Nope)/ That’s why they can’t put me at one.”
Then, turning his attention to Melle Mel, he spits: “Shoutout to Furious Five and Grandmaster Flash, but boy/ There’s someone who really is furious/ Stay out his path, his wrath avoid/ I’ll be the last to toy with a juice head whose brain is half destroyed, like a meteor hit it/ Now with Melle Mel, he lost his ass to ‘roids.”

😂 he’s releasing it at 5pm because his bedtime is 8pm
This is fun. It’s what hip hop is all about( used to be anyway) I’m sure Mel can still rhyme and Em is well, he’s the same so why not lets here the old school bring the record back type shit. I’m into it.
Melle Mel > Eminem
Maybe at shuffleboard, rummy and whatever other games he plays at the Senior living facility
wtf did he do ? That shit was hot garbage haha
This dude said Royce isn’t as big as Em… because… wait for it… he’s black. Lmfao. I hate anything Em has made for the past decade, and it’s still solid as a whole. But emonem from 1998 to 2005 or so was wild. Idc what anyone says, he had dope memorable and catchy beats, insane flow and rhyme schemes, and engaging stories, as well as more shock value than NWA. He raided the bar for shock value. Nobody can be taken seriously saying Royce would be as big as Em if he was white too lol.
Name anybody who doesn’t want to preserve their relevance. I hope that’s all this is. If I was Em, knowing the “love” he shows to Hip Hop, and his creativity. I would simply “usher” Melle out to pasture with an “Anti-diss” track; called “We got the message” I’d use Tribe Called Quest’s “We Got the Jazz” beat, and hype it up. It would give props to the founders of Hip-Hop and show respect to Mel as a pioneer. It would also express no desire to beef and no reason to incite one “for all the wrong reasons”. It would be awesome, and Mel would be a fool to try and clap back.
