Eminem has surprised fans by announcing a new song with Snoop Dogg after the pair butted heads and apparently fell out.
Em and Snoop were friends for years before they started having beef with each other, though as beef between rappers goes, this was pretty mild. Rare, if you will, rather than seasoned and well done.
Eminem appeared to get angry at Snoop after he failed to mention the Rap God in his Top 10 rappers, prompting Em to throw some shade in his track 'Zeus' by rapping: "As far as squashing beef I’m used to people knocking me/But just not in my camp/And diplomatic as I’m tryin’ to be/Last thing I need is Snoop doggin’ me/Man, Dogg, you was like a damn god to me/Meh, not really (haha)/I had dog backwards.”
Thankfully the pair seem to have finally got over the whole situation, with Eminem announcing on Twitter that he 'took too long to reconnect' with Snoop, and that the pair have now released not only a song, but also 'a movie'.

Titled 'From The D 2 LBC', the track came accompanied with a music video that showed Snoop and Eminem occasionally turning into animated monkeys in reference to their connection to NFT collection Bored Ape.
The rapper's announcement earned more than 15,000 likes on Twitter, while the music video gained more than 800,000 views in just six hours after being posted on YouTube. Fans have described the track as 'fire' and 'amazing', with many celebrating the reunion of Em and Snoop after their fall out.
"This brings back that old feel of Em verses with that new style of lyricism to me! I love it and I’m sure @SnoopDogg is absolutely happy to get that Em feature after all these years!" one Twitter user wrote.
Another commented: "A duo we were deprived of.. rap game did us bad for 2 decades. They literally sound the most compatible with each other outta all the features."

After Snoop announced his top 10 rappers, Eminem told Shade 45 it was Snoop's tone that he'd found issue with, rather than the list itself.
He explained: "Everything he said, by the way, was fine, up to a point... Him saying I’m not in his top 10 because there are some rappers in the ’90s I can’t f**k with… I think it was more about the tone he was using that caught me off-guard ’cause I’m like, where is this coming from? I just saw you, what the f**k? It threw me for a loop."
It's unclear whether the pair ever actually discussed their issues, but at least we know now it's all water under the bridge.
