Eminem Speaks Out About Snoop: ‘I Never Liked That N**ga’ – What really happened between two of hip-hop’s finest legends?

If there was a college for students of Dr. Dre, Eminem and Snoop Dogg would be its most successful alumni. Dr. Dre helped launch Eminem into the spotlight with the rapper’s debut album, The Slim Shady LP, and he produced a major number of songs on Snoop’s debut solo album, Doggystyle. These two rappers, alongside Dr. Dre, also collaborated on 2001, Dre’s album in 1999.

But despite Eminem and Snoop Dogg being teammates in Dr. Dre’s elite team, they were really not the best of friends. In fact, it was only after Dr. Dre had a near-death experience that these two rappers squashed this beef!

But what really happened between two of hip-hop’s finest legends? To answer that question, we have to go back to the beginning.

The narrative unveils the intriguing relationship dynamics between two hip-hop legends, Eminem and Snoop Dogg, shedding light on their collaboration, fallouts, and eventual reconciliation. The journey begins with the recognition that a hypothetical college for students of Dr. Dre would undoubtedly consider Eminem and Snoop Dogg as its most successful alumni, given their significant contributions to the rap genre.

The Slim Shady LP, Eminem’s groundbreaking album in 2000, marked a pinnacle in his career. The collaboration on “B**** Please II” with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and others showcased the potential for further collaborations. However, despite being part of the Up in Smoke tour, Eminem and Snoop’s collaborative momentum seemed to stall, leaving fans puzzled.

Daz Dillinger, a former record producer at Death Row Records, provided a possible explanation for this hiatus. According to him, Snoop Dogg had sought a feature from Eminem, feeling entitled due to their previous collaboration on “B**** Please II.” When the request was declined, tensions arose, potentially sparking the underlying feud between the two.

Fast forward over two decades, Daz’s revelation adds a layer of understanding to the strained relationship. Eminem’s battle with addiction during this period might have affected his ability to collaborate, and Snoop Dogg took this personally, leading to an unspoken rift.

In 2020, Snoop Dogg’s controversial remarks on a radio show questioned Eminem’s position in the top 10 rappers of all time. This sparked a public feud, with Eminem responding in his 2020 album “Music to be Murdered By – Side B,” directly addressing Snoop Dogg. The beef escalated further, with Snoop teasing an unreleased diss track.

However, the turning point came with Dr. Dre’s life-threatening cerebral aneurysm in 2021. The scare prompted Eminem and Snoop Dogg to reflect on their feud, realizing its triviality in the face of a close friend’s health crisis. Eminem revealed that they had a conversation, squashed the beef, and regained mutual respect for each other.

The narrative concludes with the hope that this newfound understanding may lead to future collaborations between Eminem and Snoop Dogg. Recent appearances and performances suggest a positive trajectory, leaving fans optimistic about the potential for a “B**** Please III” or even a collaborative album.

In the grand scheme of hip-hop history, this saga between Eminem and Snoop Dogg becomes a testament to the complexities, rivalries, and reconciliations that define the genre. It underscores the human aspect behind the iconic personas, revealing that even legends have their moments of misunderstandings and growth.
