B-Real Talks about the beef between Eminem and Everlast.
B-Real sat down with Vlad TV for an interview session, where he talks about Everlast making a diss track that would’ve taken the beef with Eminem to another level but ultimately decided against releasing it. B-Real also talks about how he helping the two squash things and why he thought people underestimated Everlast’s emceeing abilities.
Everlast, a House of Pain rapper, had a spat with the Slim Shady in 2000, when the Detroit rapper was on the verge of becoming one of hip-hop’s biggest names. On Everlast, Detroit Rapper released a diss track called “Girls.”
So, what happened between Everlast and Eminem?
Everlast and Eminem got into a feud. In early 1999, Eminem and Everlast met before a show. Eminem claims he didn’t welcome Everlast because he didn’t identify him immediately away, and Everlast also claims he didn’t acknowledge him. According to Everlast, he sought to congratulate Eminem on his achievement, but Eminem ignored him. Everlast’s lyric on the Dilated Peoples all-star hit “Ear Drums Pop (Remix)” contains a thinly disguised allusion to Eminem (“C**k my hammer, spit a comet like Haley/I buck a.380 on those who act shady”)
Eminem and Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst decided to collaborate on a song. Eminem claimed Durst was all for a couple of shots at Everlast, which he claims he wanted to add. Durst, on the other hand, dropped out at the last minute and publicly chastised Eminem shortly after (claiming Everlast could easily beat Eminem up). Eminem replied in kind, attacking Durst as well as Everlast.

He says, “He didn’t let me hear the song he let me hear some words from the song like he sung me some lines from the song and it was pretty f**king dope like he didn’t let me hear the song in full because it wasn’t all the way but he gave me the F**king idea of it, had this song come out it would f**king splashed heavily because you know everlast is you know they’re both exceptional f**king mc’s but people underestimating everlast was capable of.”
He added: “Remember Everlast is no slouch, he can get with the best of them. he didn’t release his last song. He had another song aimed at Em. it wasn’t a rap though, it was him singing and it was pretty fu**ing good. But it never got out because he asked me to speak with Em on behalf of the innocent fans and road crews that could have got hurt over this particular bullsh*t. So it never came out, he holstered it and it didn’t escalate past that.”
