Snoop Dogg recently posted a preview of a new track seemingly aimed at Eminem.
Back in July, Snoop Dogg made headlines after he said Eminem wouldn’t make the list for his top 10 rappers of all time.
The offhand comment seems to have created some ripple effects.
“[Dr. Dre] has probably put Eminem in the position to where he could be like labeled as one of Top 10 rappers ever,” Snoop originally said during an interview with The Breakfast Club. “I don’t think so, but the game feels like he’s Top 10 lyricist and all that comes with it but that’s just because he’s with Dr. Dre and Dr. Dre helped him find the best Eminem he could find.”
Snoop went on to mention rappers from the 1980s that he would place ahead of Eminem. “There’s some niggas in the ’80s he can’t fuck with,” he continued. “Like Rakim, like Big Daddy Kane, like KRS-One, like LL Cool J. Shall I go on? Like Ice Cube.”
On December 18, Em dropped the deluxe edition of his latest album, Music to Be Murdered By. On the track “Zeus,” Em rapped about the snub. “As far as squashing beef, I’m used to people knocking me,” he said. “But, just not in my camp/And diplomatic as I’m tryna be/Last thing I need is Snoop dogging me/Man, Dogg, you was like a damn God to me/Nah, not really/I had ‘dog’ backwards/But I’m starting to think, all these people takin’ shots at me/Shit, it’s no wonder.”
