Eminem shows his support for new Redman single “80 Barz” through “Till I Collapse” lyrics.
Redman recently went head to head with Method Man in a entertaining Verzuz battle which is more of a joint concert. Along with that, he also dropped the official video for his new track “80 Barz“, where he mentions the likes of Eminem, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, Wu-Tang Clan and more. After that, Eminem himself reshares the single on his social media where he quotes lyrics from his classic “Till I Collapse“, in which he was calling Redman one of his favorite rapper.
Although it was released as a single, the track has charted several times throughout the world and is Eminem’s second most listened track on Spotify, with over 1.35 billion streams as of June 11, 2022. The Recording Industry Association of America certified it double-platinum in 2012 for selling 2,000,000 copies in the United States. This was succeeded by quintuple status in 2018 and octuple-platinum status in 2022.
The Detroit rapper quotes the part of the following line, “It goes: Reggie, Jay-Z, 2Pac and Biggie, André from OutKast, Jada, Kurupt, Nas, and then me.” And it looks like Eminem also tuned in to recent Verzuz battle between the two legendary MCs where Redman wore the t-shirt with the same quote on it.
While it’s conceivable that his list has changed much over the years, Em’s lyrical endorsement of eight big hitters has become one of his most quotable moments. In fact, Redman wore a t-shirt repeating the top four names on Em’s list during his recent 4/20 Verzuz show with Method Man, confirming Slim’s status as a connoisseur of the trade.

Redman also shared the link to buy the shirt, after everyone was asking about it, including Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg.
Despite the fact that they only worked twice, on “Off The Wall” (learn more about that wacky and lyrically-driven duet here) and the deep cut “I See Dead People,” it has long felt as though a third collaboration was long overdue. Em still holds Redman in high esteem, as demonstrated by his most recent post, which is expected given how much the New Jersey rapper has influenced his own work. Perhaps now is the moment for Reggie and Slim Shady to finally reconcile, with public expressions of mutual appreciation at an all-time high.
The long-awaited successor to Redman’s legendary 1996 album “Muddy Waters” has been revealed. ‘Muddy Waters 2′ is set to release this summer and will follow the rapper’s VERZUZ fight with longstanding rhyming partner Method Man. The virtual event dubbed as “4/20 Special,” will take place on Tuesday, April 20 to commemorate the international cannabis smoker’s holiday.
While Redman did release his 3 Joints EP this year, it has been six years since his eighth studio album Mudface, a 13-track effort that included Josh Gannet, Stressmatic, Runt Dog, and Ready Roc. Rockwilder, Mike & Keys, Rick Rock, Jahlil Beats, !llmind, and — of course — the Funk Doc himself contributed production to the album. He is now working on Muddy Waters Too, the official sequel to the 1996 classic Muddy Waters. To date, fans have heard what are assumed to be songs from the next album — “I Love Hip Hop” and “YA!” — both of which were released in 2018.

Redman’s announcement of his next album was followed by the release of a new song called ’80 Barz.’ It features the New Jersey MC rapping nonstop for three minutes, peppered with clever punchlines and hard-hitting phrases.
Redman said in April 2018 that he intended to release Muddy Waters 2 that year, however it did not materialize at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado. Redman provided an explanation for the delay in a later interview the following year.
“You have to understand that I’m a self-contained artist,” he said at the time. “That means I engineer everything right here in my house that I’m talking from. I engineer, I write the music and I mix in my house. What I learned from Def Jam — because I’m a Def Jam baby — I learned all my tutelage on how to put out music through Def Jam.
“The only thing now that’s missing is me having a date and me rushing when they want me to put it out. I’m able to move on my own time. Last time I talked to you, I thought I was ready, but I wasn’t. A couple of months ago, I knew I was ready to put the album out, but COVID hit. I’m like, ‘I want to be able to be out there to promote the album, not sit from a couch doing interviews.’”
