Chords for Everlast Shares The Details Behind His Beef With Eminem | People's Party Clip

You had a famous beef with Eminem.
That got squashed.
Right now, you actually, that beef was y [D]'all
going at each other and then it was at the-
We were the only guys that battled on Napster, honestly.
Wow, that made for the Napster.
Napster, throwback.
Now you got a shout out from Eminem on Martial Matters 2.
Was it a relief for that to be done with?
It was never, I mean it was never a stress factor.
It was, the only time it became a stress factor,
honestly, is like, I didn't really expect
when we had our initial problem,
and it was purely personal, like I felt slighted by him
at a meeting, our first initial meeting.
I tried to shake his hand and just kind of felt
like I got egged and was like, oh, okay.
And then I put a little kind of sub,
what they'd call a sub [B] tweet or something.
The first of the sub tweets.
Right, we had [Em] evidence here.
Got them in trouble, which really wasn't fair
[F] because they rode for me when they were asked about it
instead of like folding up, you know what I mean?
They were my boys.
But they shouldn't even have been involved in that.
But just to see if it would get noticed,
and it got noticed, and the funny part was
that I got called from B-Roll because at that moment
in time, they were managed by Paul Rosenberg,
Cypress Hill was.
So my brothers are managed by [Eb] Em's [E] manager.
And they asked me like, yo, Em heard this record
and he's just curious if you dissed him.
And I was like, so he's taking notice of me all of a sudden.
Right, right.
[F] So I was like, my answer literally was like,
well, what if I say yeah?
And B-Roll was like, well, you [Eb] know he's gonna come at you.
I was like, yeah, okay, whatever.
And then I kind of forgot about it.
He didn't come back at me for maybe a couple weeks.
I kind of was like, okay, whatever.
And then you couldn't put records out as quick
as what it was.
Right, it had to be a whole process.
Now you can do it.
And he put it on the B side of 12.
And it was a record called Quitter.
It was like, I'm old, I'm three years older than this guy.
[Gb] Like that, so I laughed at that [F] at this point.
But then it was like, take a heart pill.
And I was like, okay.
It was nothing that was like, all right.
The problem was when he bled over
into that alternative market.
And this was, I don't even think this was purposeful
by their camp at all.
Because during this whole beef,
whatever went on for a year or two,
when I was in New York, if I was hanging out with people
and Paul Rosenberg was there,
and it was like, we're going somewhere else.
I jumped in their van.
I remember the first couple of times going like,
this is cool, right, Paul?
He'd be like, come on, get the fuck out of here.
We have so many people in common, me and this dude.
And then Lethal was in Limp Bizkit at this time, right?
Yeah, for me, it was never about making a record
to get paid off of him.
That's why I never released anything.
It was digital, I put it on Napster.
Right.
I mean, the actual one disc record I made.
The first thing that started,
it was like a line in a verse.
_ So what I didn't count on,
because I was like, me and this dude
ain't even in the same worlds right now.
So this is just fun to me.
Right.
Is that when that record bled over
into like all the alternative stations.
Right.
And I don't think, again, this is where I was.
I don't think they did it on purpose,
but the record stations would start having
their summer festivals and their Christmas shows,
their big shows, and they would want Eminem to play that.
All right, so I really got the feeling quite a few times
that I wasn't getting invited
because they wanted them to play it.
And again, I don't think they were being directed by Paul
or anything like, because I know all these dudes.
It was just the facts and the politics of the game
that we were mad at each other
and perhaps me playing that thing
might have kept him from playing.
So that's the only way that thing ever really hurt me
as far as that.
And it wasn't, I've never been the one
chasing the ring like that.
So it was all fun to me.
B-Real, who was also on the show,
said that there was another record that never came out.
I was right when it finally was like,
like when B-Real kind of intervened
and I tried to get on the phone with dude, honestly,
and it just didn't happen.
But B-Real intervened and was like,
let's approach like this.
And I was like, fine, bygones, be bygones,
I'm cool with that.
But at that moment, it was a Whitey 40 style kind of thing.
It wasn't really hashed out.
You know what I mean?
It was something there that was funny more than anything.
My approach again was like trying to be funny about shit.
You know what I mean?
I'll say in hindsight,
the only thing that I would have done different
_ is he thought in the first record
that I did a line [E] about him on in Dilated Peoples,
I say something about Haley's comment at that.
I didn't know his daughter's name was Haley, right?
But he got very upset about that part.
And then that got exposed that he knew so much about,
or he was so upset that he thought
I had said something about his daughter
that I used that in the second disc,
like to kind of, not like kind of say anything
about the child, just like use the emotion of it.
Like, okay, he was about to go to jail or something.
And then I said, I'll look in on your kid,
when you know, drop, you know,
it's like that kind of little jam.
I wouldn't have done that if like at this age
with as a parent, I wouldn't have done that part.
That's the only part of that side
that I would say like, I [G] regret that part.
The rest of it was fun.
How did it feel having [Bb] Beef with,
who was like one of the biggest [F] musicians
in the earth at the time?
Well, [Gb] that happened during the course kind of,
that really his escalation by no means,
the Beef being a reason for it,
but he became Elvis as we were having that little [D] tussle.
That's what I'm saying.
To do black music so selfishly.
I didn't count on him bleeding into all markets.
Right.
[A] Just the one little one.
Right. _ _
[Am] Just one little one.
Yo, [D] yo, yo.
Look at what we done started.
This the people party.
When [Gm] opportunity knockin'
