Some sources say fans might get to see more Eminem and Snoop Dogg collaborations in the future.
Their friendship took a hit in 2020
Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Snoop Dogg
The troubles in their longtime friendship began in 2020 when Snoop Dogg didn’t mention Dr. Dre’s name in his Top 10 rappers list. Eminem responded to this in his song “Zeus” from his album Music To Be Murdered By: Side B. He said,
“As far as squashing beef I’m used to people knocking me/But just not in my camp/And diplomatic as I’m tryin’ to be/Last thing I need is Snoop doggin’ me/Man, Dogg, you was like a damn god to me/Meh, not really (haha)/I had dog backwards.”
Snoop Dogg replied, “Pray I don’t answer that soft ass shit.” Eminem later talked about this in December 2020 in an interview with Shade 45, he said it was Snoop Dogg’s tone that didn’t sit right with him. He said,
“Him saying I’m not in his top 10 because there are some rappers in the ’90s I can’t f**k with…A: Him saying Dre made the best version of me, absolutely, why would I have a problem with that? Would I be here without Dre? F**k no, I wouldn’t. The rappers he mentioned from the ‘90s—KRS One, Big Daddy Kane, [Kool] G Rap—I’ve never said I could f**k with them. I never said that.”
He added the part where he mentioned Snoop Dogg’s statement that caught him off guard and he wasn’t taking that. He said,
“I think it was more about the tone he was using that caught me off-guard ’cause I’m like, where is this coming from? I just saw you, what the f**k? It threw me for a loop. Again, I probably could’ve gotten past the whole tone and everything, but it was the last statement where he said, ‘Far as music I can live without, I can live without that shit.’ Now you’re being disrespectful. It just caught me off-guard. I wasn’t ready for that.”
Roughly one year after this incident, things seemed to go back to how they were, Snoop Dogg confirmed in an interview that he is working on new material with Eminem.
