The D.O.C. stand with Eminem in Melle Mel beef.
Eminem made his return to music with his first verse of 2023, as he assisted Shady Records, Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records’ newest signee Ez Mil on the new single “Realest“. The rapper’s verse is making headlines as he took shots at his critics, including Melle Mel.
The Kamikaze rapper took aim at Melle Mel, who recently stated that Eminem is only top 5 because he’s white. “But when they say that I’m only top five / ‘Cause I’m white, why would I be stunned? / My skin color still workin’ against me / ‘Cause second I should be to none / Being white ain’t why they put me at top five / It’s why they can’t put me at one,” he raps.
“Shout to the Furious Five and Grandmaster Flash, but, boy / This someone who really is furious, stay out his path, his wrath, avoid / And I’ll be the last to toy with a juice-head whose brain is like half destroyed / Like a meteor hit it / Well, there went Melle Mel, we lost his a-s to ‘roids,” he raps in another bar.
Following the song, the internet is divided over the beef, and now the legendary The D.O.C. also gives his opinion on the situation. “There is no any of us without Mel,” The D.O.C. told AllHipHop. “But I think Mel was voicing his opinion and he’s a gladiator in this sport as well. So, he should have known if he thought the little kid was going to be afraid of him, you can only push the little guy around so long before he feels like he’s in a corner and got to do something. I think Eminem did what he thought he was supposed to do and I stand by Em and what he did.”
“I don’t know whether Melle Mel took sh-t, that’s not my concern,” The D.O.C. added. “They writing raps. I look forward to Melle Mel and seeing what he got to say after that. Maybe that’ll bring Mel back to the forefront in a way where he can get in and get his point across.”
Following the song, Melle Mel also readies a diss track targetting Eminem. “No apologies, this ain’t a disclaimer / I’m the king of legends, the first Hall of Famer / Making diss tracks, I know you’re with that / Now everybody get ready for the kickback,” raps Melle Mel in the teaser.
