Eminem is now considered an icon in the world of rap music, but there was one a time when he was just trying to make a name for himself.

Along the way Em got to meet his heroes, and he recently sat down to talk to LL Cool J for his Rock The Bells Radio show on SiriusXM which is set to air on September 1.

Eminem shared the story of the first time he met LL Cool J in a Foot Locker, and he noted that LL quoted lyrics from one of his songs.

“And the next thing you know, I’m in Foot Locker with Kirdis Tucker and she’s getting outfits for the ‘Just Don’t Give a Fuck’ video, and I see you,” Em continued to LL. “I’m like, ‘Yo, he’s in here by himself.’ I was buggin’ the fuck out… You quoted a lyric back to me. You said, ‘Yo, how can I be white / I don’t even exist.’ You quoting that lyric back to me, was like, I think I s**t myself.”

Eminem has played quite a few shows throughout the course of his career, but he just took his first on stage selfie a few days ago.

During a performance of “Rap God” in London the legendary rapper decided to snap a photo, but it looks like Slim Shady might need to work on his selfie taking skills, just a little bit.

This is my first on-stage selfie.  Thank you London! #selfie🐐

Eminem returned with a new album a few months ago, but he still has a lost album that’s been sitting on the shelf for years.

DJ Whoo Kid recently asked 50 Cent if he and Em might collaborate and create a full album together someday, and he said that it’s something that could happen.

He then went on to say that he and Eminem collaborated on Em’s lost album “Relapse 2” but Em decided not to release the album because of the response “Relapse” got.

“When we did Relapse, we did Relapse 1 and 2,” 50 said via HNHH.com. “My favorite music was on 2. We collaborated on a lot of joints on the second one, but when he didn’t like the response he got for Relapse, he went to Recovery.” Unfortunately, there seems to be one major hurdle – Eminem himself. “He’s his toughest critic,” says 50. “But I always look at this shit like, did you hear what they just put out? This shit is garbage! You could put this shit out right now!”

It’s no big secret that Eminem has had his fair share of troubles with addiction, but 10 years ago the iconic rapper decided to put all of that behind him in pursuit of a sober life. Over the weekend Em took to Instagram to celebrate 10 years of sobriety when he shared the following photo:

Celebrated my 10 years yesterday.

The post got a positive response from many within the music community, including Royce Da 59 who congratulated Em on a decade of sobriety.

Happy sobriety birthday to my mentor @Eminem … Keep fighting the good fight homie … I love you for life 🙏🏿

Eminem released his new album “Revival” a few months ago to mixed reactions, and there are some people out there who think the legendary rapper just doesn’t have it anymore.

Em appeared to reference the criticism during his performance at Coachella, when he asked fans if he could bring them back to a time when he was “actually dope” before performing “My Name Is.”

“Yo, Coachella I got a question right quick. Can I take you back to a time when I was actually dope? Coachella. Can we take you back to a mother*cking time when I was actually good.”

Eminem recently made history as the RIAA has revealed that he’s become the second highest selling singles artist with 107.5 million units sold. Em is now second only to Rihanna with 121 million sales. Selling records is something that Eminem knows how to do, and it just so happens that it’s something his friend 50 Cent knows how to do as well. He recently showed some respect to Em when he posted the following on Instagram:

107.5 million records sold, 🤦‍♂️by himself 😆 only Elvis Presley beating EMINEM. #POWER

Eminem recently released his new album “Revival” and the album has been met with a mixed response from critics.

But Eminem isn’t phased, as he’s always had his critics, and he’s always gotten hate.

Em recently dropped a new remix for his song “Chloraseptic” which features 2 Chainz and he fired back at his critics with the following message:

“Not as raw as I was; ‘Walk on Water’ sucks; Bitch, suck my dick/ Y’all saw the track list and had a fit ‘fore you heard it/ So you formed your verdict while you sat with your arms crossed/ Did your little reaction videos and talked over songs/ Nah, dog, y’all saying I lost it, your f**king marbles are gone.”

You can check out the track below.

Eminem fans have been waiting a long time for the rapper to release a new album, and it looks like we’ll finally be hearing new music this year.
