Lord Jamar talks about ending beef with Eminem.
Lord Jamar recently sat down with SamAnt & O’God on Hip-Hop Uncensored Podcast where he was asked about squashing his longtime feud with Eminem recently. “That sparking conversation from you splitting with Vlad, was a conversation you had with Royce, and then from there you see Royce saying that you and Eminem peaced it up, is that true and then how’d that happen,” asks Hosts.
After being chastised for misquoting preacher Louis Farrakhan last month, Lord Jamar has finally promised to cease giving interviews to DJ Vlad. When Royce learned about Vlad’s gaffe, he pleaded with him to make a public apology, but Vlad refused. Instead, Vlad stated that the only way he would apologize is if Farrakhan agreed to an interview with him.
Royce laughed off his request, saying, “Not only are you not getting an interview with the minister, you would never sit in the same room as the minister. Who the f**k do you think you are, man? Why are y’all talking about this like this is even realistic? That’s a joke. That’s a farce. That s**t will never happen. This has nothing to do with Minister Farrakhan. We don’t need you to like Farrakhan brother.”
Slim Shady’s longtime buddy and colleague said in the video that he helped mediate what was effectively an end to Lord Jamar and Eminem’s prolonged feud. “For the record, now that all this Vlad sh*t is done, tell your boy Marshall, you know — we good,” Lord Jamar, who has been one of Eminem’s most vociferous opponents (particularly when he’s on VladTV’s sofa), said.
“Yeah, and see that’s why this is a great moment in time too,” says Lord Jamar. “Like it’s not just about Vlad, It’s about people coming together. In the past me and Royce had, you know traded barbs and it was all this nonsense that kind of was fueled by Vlad, his platform kind of fueled that whole sh*t. I didn’t want him asking every f**kin person that he interviews, ‘what do you think about what Lord Jamar said about Eminem. What do you think about what Lord Jamar said while people are guest in the house of Hip-Hop,’ you know what I mean, but he kept doing it and even when I was like yo why you keep asking about Eminem, I was like why you keep doing that bro.”
It comes after the two have had a long-running feud, which began when the Brand Nubian rapper called Eminem out in a series of interviews.
Eminem retaliated by naming Jamar on his surprise 2018 album’s single “Fall.” Despite their feud, Slim Shady recently acknowledged that Jamar’s statements were true and that he was a hip-hop visitor. Eminem’s latest diss track-laden album, “Music to Be Murdered By“, was unexpectedly released and few people were spared. Lord Jamar has added his two cents to the discussion on Joe Budden’s podcast about the lyrics that may have been directed at him.
Royce Da 5’9 was a recent guest on Lord Jamar, Rah Digga, and comedian Godfrey’s podcast The Godcast. Due to the Brand Nubian’s MC’s long-standing animosity for the diamond-selling artist, the topic of Eminem inevitably came up.
However, the Bad Meets Evil MC made an unusual disclosure throughout the chat, implying that those days are past. Lord Jamar, who has been one of Eminem’s harshest detractors (particularly when he’s on VladTV’s sofa), brought up the subject with VladTV “For the record, now that all this Vlad sh*t is done, tell your boy Marshall, you know — we good.”
In an interview on MRecktv’s “Backstories” podcast, Jamar again looked back at his beef with Eminem. What I said was not about Eminem. It’s more about what Kanye is saying right now. This is just about us as Black people, who are the creators of hip-hop. This is about us deciding who is who and what is what. That’s all it ever was about. It was never about any hatred towards ‘Eminem. Don’t know him personally. It was just about saying ‘Y’all can’t tell me who the king of hip hop is based on whatever criteria you say’ We as Black people decide who is the king. And it might not be based on how many records they sold. That’s it. But then you get all the kickback, you know, people wanna backtalk me. Then I had to say sh-t like, ‘Well, if you keep it real, no shade, we, Black people, was not even listening to Eminem like that’. I don’t wanna get back in this ‘cause this will sound controversial but I’m just saying he didn’t have the same impact on our culture as he had on theirs, that’s it. So, how are you gonna call him the king? I don’t care how many records he sells. That’s it. Nothing against him. But that’s all that people who wanted this narrative to go that kept making the sh-t flourishing.”
He continued, There was never any beef on my side. And he made a song and all that. He tried to hit me on the verse and all that, but it was nothing. It was light. It almost proved my point… No, I didn’t respond. Do you know why? It wasn’t like in our culture when Drake hit Meek Mill. He said, ‘You just got bodied by RnB ni–a.’ That stung in our world. They played that in the clubs! Meek Mill had to go to the club and hear that! Do you think I went to one club? One cook-out? Anywhere where they played that diss song? Do you think I had to hear that anywhere? And be like, oh sh-t, let me get outta here, they playing that joint. No. That never happened. Proving exactly what I was saying. I never even felt the sting. There was no sting to feel. ‘Boohoo, go fetch me the remote.’ That’s not even worth the response. No matter what I did. I could have come with the illest sh-t and all his fans would say he is the illest ni–a. So what would it matter?”
