Kid Cudi’s Call For Help To Eminem On Twitter Was A Genuine Attempt To Contact Eminem

‘Man, I tweeted at him. No, it wasn’t even in the DMs. Just my timeline. It was public.’ …

On May 7 this year, Kid Cudi tweeted this:

A couple months later, he and Eminem linked up on the single “The Adventures Of Moon Man And Slim Shady.” While it seemed obvious that initial tweet was a promotional ploy to drum up interest for the collaboration, it turns out that wasn’t the case at all. In fact, the tweet was pretty literal, as it was genuinely Cudi’s attempt at making first contact with Eminem.

Cudi spoke about it was Apple Music’s Zane Lowe in a new interview, revealed that he really wasn’t in touch with Eminem before that tweet. He said:

“That was me. Like, ‘Yo, I want to be respected as an emcee. Yo, who do I f*cking get? Who do I f*cking get to spar with? Who do I go bar for bar with? Eminem.’ Man, I tweeted at him. No, it wasn’t even in the DMs. Just my timeline. It was public. I was like, ‘Yo Rap God, help!’ And we’re really close with Paul Rosenberg and he was able to connect us and we were able to get it done. He was in Detroit, I was in LA. It’s a nail biter. Because I’m like waiting, I’m waiting. And I’m like, ‘Oh sh*t. They’re asking me questions. They don’t say he’s going to do it just yet. They’re just asking me questions. And I’m like, so this means he’s going to do it. Right? Because they’re asking me questions. And literally it was like every day I was like, ‘Is today going to be the day? Is today going to be the day?’ And like, I got it. And I was like, ‘Holy sh*t.’ I was like, it was something for me to get the validation from Eminem by doing that record. Him doing that record let me know, like he was telling me like, ‘Yo, I f*ck with you as an artist fully, even your bars are dope.’”

Cudi previously revealed that in addition to Rosenberg, Lil Wayne was apparently also part of how he got through to Em.

Billy Chuck Da Goat turns walking away into a bold statement in latest release “Road Jack”

Road Jack

Billy Chuck Da Goat, an independent hip-hop artist, has put out a new release called “Road Jack.” The track has a lot of atmosphere and is also interesting. From the very first beat, listeners are taken to a movie-like zone that combines Southern grit with a deep, thoughtful energy. This is a real picture of how trust and tension can make modern relationships hard.

“Road Jack” isn’t a normal fight song, Billy Chuck Da Goat tells the story with a steady intensity, saying each line with a calm confidence that makes the song’s main point even clearer, sometimes, leaving is not giving up, but rather a way to show respect for oneself. The steady, thoughtful beat of the song fits the emotional landscape, making moments of doubt and accusation feel real without going too far.

Road Jack is different from other hip-hop stories because it doesn’t follow the rules. The song doesn’t glorify chaos or seek attention, instead, it explores emotional intelligence and quiet strength. Each verse was written on purpose so that people could think about the tension, pride, and the choice to back down instead of facing it. The pacing is like in a movie, which makes the story flow well. Billy Chuck Da Goat’s voice makes the song sound real.

Billy Chuck Da Goat’s release, “Road Jack,” shows that strength isn’t always loud, sometimes it’s about walking away with your head held high. Fans of Southern-influenced, thoughtful hip-hop will love this song because it shows how to mix grit and elegance.

Monkey Meadows shifts gears through motion and memory on latest release “Red Car”

Monkey Meadows

Monkey Meadows captures the quiet, thoughtful tension that comes with change on new single “Red Car.” The steady beat and warm bass line make it impossible to stop. It flows naturally, leaving room for the long, winding vocal parts that give the piece its base. Monkey Meadows creates a deep sense of closeness by combining sound elements that feel like a conversation in the soft twilight light.

The music makes you feel things that are hard to put into words but very powerful. “Red Car” is great at showing motion without a clear goal. It is a piece that celebrates the beauty of seeing what we can’t see, moments, relationships, and feelings that come and go, while everything else around us changes.

The indie pop structure might make people sway to the beat, and the song’s subtle sadness about distance and change might be felt throughout. This release proves that Monkey Meadows can make music that is both big and personal by looking inside themselves. “Red Car” is more than just a song, it’s a powerful reflection and a soundtrack for when life goes on, but we stay the same inside.
