Eminem has been oddly more interactive with the world in recent times. Perhaps it's the need for change or management demanding that he hop on TikTok but either way, he's giving fans a bit more insight into his otherwise private life.

At the wee hours of the morning, the rapper seemingly stumbled upon a video from No Life Shaq where the YouTuber DM'd several rappers requesting their pick for the greatest rapper of all time. Among the rappers that he DM'd is 6ix9ine, Travis Scott, Lil Wayne, and more, as well as Eminem. No Life Shaq admitted that he didn't expect Eminem to respond, though he said that was the only rapper he was eager to hear a response from.

"I had to try with Em. I had to try with Em. Of course, Em not gonna respond," he said. "That one kinda hurt my heart a lil bit because I wanted Em to say himself."

Though he never got a response on Instagram, Eminem did issue a response on Twitter with a list of rappers he'd consider GOATs but suffice to say the inclusion of Redman twice probably confirms that his position on the Def Squad member hasn't changed. 

"For me, in no particular order... Toss up between wayne, pac, royce, jay, redman, treach, g. rap, biggie & king crook....," he wrote in one tweet. "Plus redman, LL, nas, joyner, kendrick, cole, andre, rakim, kane..."

If you ever sit down with hip hop legends, you’ll hear them share stories of what they consider to be their biggest L’s. Missed opportunities seem to be what can plague an artist, and in a recent chat with the No Filter Podcast, Erick Sermon had no problem sharing two regrettable decisions that he lives with until this day.

Christopher “Notorious B.I.G.” Wallace is hailed as one of the best rappers to have ever picked up a mic, although his career was short-lived. The 24-year-old rapper was gunned down in Los Angeles during a drive-by in 1997, and by that time he was already a hitmaking, award-winning star. However, before he became the big-name rapper that we know today, he was just Biggie from Brooklyn trying to make it in the industry.

Erick shared that he had run into Biggie around New York and expressed interest in working with the rising rapper. When Biggie heard that Erick was working on a record, he sent word to the hip hop icon that he wanted to a spot on the album. Erick now shares that he turned Biggie down and told him no because he had his own crew including the likes of Redman and Keith Murray, and admitted that he didn’t think featuring B.I.G. would be a good fit.

Sermon also shared that he turned down an opportunity to work with Nas a producer on his critically-acclaimed classic album Illmatic. “So he comes and sits down, I give him C-list beats Doggy. Because don’t forget all my rappers is ‘Wiggity Wow’ and when I ‘S-P-E-L-L’ and I got Redman, I have these others. So that street content, I couldn’t really get with that. I know it sounds crazy, though, man.” He added, “I didn’t hear Illmatic, he was making Illmatic. When he left me, he went to Pete Rock... I’m sitting here thinking that this is a kid from Queens that is just rhymin’ again, but I don’t understand.”

Nas and Sermon did end up working together and according to Sermon, they completed three songs. However, the studio that housed the tracks burned down. Meanwhile, after Illmatic came out, Erick said he wasn’t immediately regretful. “I’m ain’t gon’ lie to you, I didn’t look at it like that at that time then. I was a star,” he said. “Business As Usual was out and now we getting ready to drop ‘Crossover’ and ‘Headbanger’ and I got Redman coming out. Don’t forget, that wasn’t my style of rap.” Check out Erick Sermon share his stories below.
