Is Eminem And Snoop Dogg's Feud Officially Over?
Are Eminem and Snoop Dogg on speaking terms again? As fans will recall, a feud between the two rappers sparked in 2020 after Snoop Dogg questioned Em's rapping abilities. Speaking with "The Breakfast Club" in July of last year, Snoop said the rapper has Dr. Dre to credit for his success, whom he called "the dopest producer in hip hop."
"[Dre] has probably put Eminem in the position where he would be considered one of the top ten rappers ever," Snoop continued. "I don't think so, but the game feels like that he's top ten lyricists and all that comes with it." He continued, "That's just because he's with Dr. Dre. and Dr. Dre helped him find the best Eminem that he could find." However, Snoop did give Em props for encouraging white rappers.
"Eminem! The Great White Hope!" Snoop added. "White rappers had zero respect in rap. Let's keep that one thousand." Snoop's comments didn't go unnoticed, though. A few months later, Eminem took a shoot at Snoop in a song on his 2020 album "Music To Be Murdered By." "Last thing I need is Snoop doggin' me / Man, Dogg, you was like a (Yeah) damn god to me," Em raps on "Zeus," via Genius. "Nah, not really (Haha) I had "dog" backwards / But I'm startin' to think, all these people takin' shots at me / S***, it's no wonder," Now, it looks like the two may be cool again, according to Snoop's latest interview.
Snopp Dogg says he and Eminem are 'brothers'
Shortly after losing his beloved mother Beverly Tate, Snoop Dogg stopped by "The Breakfast Club," once more, where he gave an update on where he and Eminem stand today. "We brothers, and we family so we learn to appreciate each other for what we do and we get down," Snoop explained. "We had a long conversation about the respect that we have for each other, and the way we need to talk in public about each other."
He also had something to say about his previous criticism of Eminem's rapping. "I felt like I was out of pocket," the rapper admitted. "I apologized to him, and I let him know and I'm just bettering myself. I make mistakes." He continued, "I ain't perfect, I'm Snoop Dogg." Still, he explained that those comments were meant to spark a reaction from Eminem. "We competitive," Snoop said. "We battle rappers, so that was suppose[d] to trigger that in him."
Now that Snoop and Eminem are friends again, they will share the stage at the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show, alongside Dr. Dre. "[He] is one of my closest associates," Snoop said. "When I knew he got the call, I figured I was going to get the call soon." The show will also feature Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige too, per Variety. "These are his super friends to actually show people why he is who he is," Snoop said. We can't wait to watch it!
