Mild at first, but it would clearly grow into something darker: open disrespect, maybe even disdain. Little did we know, tension was brewing behind the scenes. Once again, Joe and Em traded verses like healthy competitors, two lyricists given ample space to shine on their own merits. The partnership continued to prove promising, as Em and Slaughterhouse held it down on a scene-stealing BET Cypher (prompting Royce’s iconic “Hi ”). Yet Em rang in the news with panache, dropping off an introductory track called “Shady 2.0,” which coincidentally marked the first official collaboration between Eminem and Budden as you might know, Slaughterhouse was featured on Recovery bonus track “Session One,” although Joe’s verse was ultimately absent. For every D12 and Obie Tricethere was a Cashis and Bobby Creekwater, and the already established supergroup deserved better than to suffer a shelving. “When I saw what he said about Em’s music, I knew there was something else there.”But what is this “something else,” and how did come to bring two former label mates to such hostility? LIFE IN A GLASS HOUSE When rap fans heard that Slaughterhouse would be joining the ranks of Shady Records, the news was met with cautious optimism. As such, Budden’s criticism of Eminem’s Revival, which ostensibly set this whole debacle off, was inherently tarnished by a deep rooted issue.Ĭrooked saw right through it, and broke it down accordingly. “There was something else behind that critique, and that was my only thing,” he explains. Taking to Instagram live with stogie firmly in hand, Crook revealed that Joe had been harboring a grudge against Eminem, largely over his treatment (or lack thereof, depending on who you ask) of Slaughterhouse. Was it really surprising that he might develop animosity toward the man in charge of his creative process?Such suspicions were all but confirmed by KXNG Crooked, a former member of Slaughterhouse. A focused and savvy business mind, Budden has garnered a reputation for not playing nicely with others. Having garnered a loyal cult following off the strength of his independent grind and prolific mixtape run, Budden’s return to the world of major label politics was perhaps doomed from the start.
In that regard, an element of Budden’s musical fate was ushered into Eminem and Paul Rosenberg’s hands. While Em’s “Fall” shot felt like a surface level warning, it seemed as if Joe’s response stemmed from a deeper, more personal place.Recall, that Slaughterhouse signed to Shady Records in 2011, as revealed through an. Using his podcast as a pulpit, Budden unleashed a heated tirade, targeting Em’s character, business acumen, relevance, and musical aptitude. Came out swinging with “Rap Devil.” Die Antwoord issued a brief freestyle Slim Shady’s “botox.” Lil Yachty met his namedrop with a digital shrug.
One after another, those targeted emerged from the woodwork with responses at the ready. Lo and behold, the bait was quickly seized. On Kamikaze, Eminem played the role of nefarious pet-owner, dangling proverbial catnip over a pen of rambunctious kittens. Davis attended Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia before leaving to focus solely on his musical career.Tension between Joe Budden and Eminem has escalated into full-blown hostility. After a talent competition and a few records with the name used as the tag, Masego was born. This felt to Davis like a proper stage name due to his nickname back in church being “Blessing”. He did his senior project on South African culture and came across the name “Masego”(plural) and its meaning 'blessings' in Setswana. It was in high school when Davis adopted the name Masego after finding out his family had roots in South Africa. Davis has spoken about learning piano, sax and various drum machines in order to impress his crush back in his years in school. Davis used to beat on books at a young age, which eventually led to the drums becoming the first instrument he learned without formal lessons. Here, Davis was shaped into the musician he is today. The military travels eventually led his family to Virginia.
Both his mother and father were also pastors and he was raised in a non-denominational Christian home. His father was in the U.S Air Force and his mother was an entrepreneur. Micah Davis was born to a Jamaican father and an African-American mother.
