**Eminem "Southpaw Soundtrack" July 24th 2015 "Kings Never Die" Out Now

Why do i feel like he's not even going to be on that D12 song.... and he seriously put sean and dej loaf on here smh
the title of the song is detroit vs. everybody so i guess he's getting the biggest rappers from detroit. 
why not? he's still better than most these guys out now. but i get it, people got tired of his crazy gimmick so you might be right.
i don't see a problem at all with this. so em can put out albums anymore? or even put out a track list

 dudes need to chill with that and i agree with you no matter what people say em is still one of the better rappers out 
 
I don't ever want to hear Big Sean and Em on a song but I understand Big Sean is popular today and from Detroit so I can accept that. What in the **** has Dej Loaf done besides make one terrible song? I'm disgusted by that. It's mad hard to get an Em feature or on his album but he just throws these two on this?

i don't really like Big Sean or that new chick, but it's obvious they are on that track because they are from Detroit.
 
Looking forward to D12 - Bane and the Lose Yourself demo, I'll give the whole thing at least one listen though.

I mean i get that sean's on there because he's a big name in the mainstream, but the loaf chick has one single under her belt so im really confused by why shes on there instead of say d12 or obie... Hell i would put kid rock on there before her or sean.... Srs.

It may sound cliché, but Statik Selektah is having his best year yet. The veteran producer dropped his sixth studio album, What Goes Around, this past August, which boasts stellar features from hip-hop's old and new guard alike, along with his signature jazzy boom bap production. Not one to rest on his laurels, Statik also released Still Blue, his second collaborative project with Jared Evan.

Yesterday, it was revealed that Statik Selektah would be featured on the upcoming Shady Records compilation album. His sole contribution comes on "Detroit Vs. Everybody," which features an all-star lineup of Eminem, Royce da 5'9", Big Sean, Danny Brown, Dej Loaf, and Trick Trick. So yeah, this is a pretty big deal for the Lawrence, Mass., representative.

Following the huge announcement, Complex spoke with Statik Selektah about how "Detroit Vs. Everybody" came together, why Em's manager, Paul Rosenberg, gets a big hat tip for its creation, and who he's most excited to hear on the final version.

Interview by Edwin Ortiz (@iTunesEra)

Right when the tracklist for Shady XV dropped, you tweeted out, “Gotta thank my connect,” and directed it at Paul Rosenberg. How did you guys initially link up for this record?
I mean, I’ve been on Eminem’s radio station [Shade 45] for almost 10 years now. So I deal with Paul weekly. But the way this came about—and for the record, this is my second song with Eminem. A lot of people are like, “Oh, you got to work with Eminem”—this is my second time with him. First one was “Richard” by Obie Trice featuring Em. But obviously it’s a big deal that this one is an Eminem song.

It was cool how it worked out. I had just moved recently, and the first beat I made in the crib, the beat and the sample says “static.” I don’t know what part they kept.... It has to be on there though. But the original sample said “static.” So I found the record when I was moving into my new crib, and I was like, "Oh, I got to use this."

So I chopped it up real quick. And it was a Thursday because that night I went to Shade 45. So I was like, "You know what? I’m going to play the original sample, but I’m going to play the beat just like as the intro to the show." And I played the original sample, and as it’s playing, I’m like, "Oh ****, I don’t even have the beat on me." I forgot to put the beat on my laptop. So I just played the sample.

And Paul Rosenberg texts me. He’s like, “Yo, what is that? You should use that.” But I already did. He’s like, “Send me that ASAP,” so I sent it to him. A couple weeks later he hit me like, “Yo, we need the sample info, they’re clearing it.” From then, I knew it was for Eminem. It’s a real crazy feeling getting that call. I knew that Royce and Big Sean were on that record, but I didn’t know until now all these other people were on it.

How did you know that Royce and Big Sean were on it? Did Paul tell you that, or did you hear that through the grapevine?
Nah, he didn’t. Shout to my manager, Phat Gary. He works for DJ Premier, and he and Royce were in the studio doing something to the song. They were like, “Oh ****, yeah, Big Sean’s on it too.” I don’t even think Royce knew everybody was on it, I’m not sure who knew what, but I heard through the grapevine that Royce was on the track. I hit him up, and I was like, “Yo, I heard you got on something,” and he’s like, “Yeah, you’re pretty good at this producing thing.”

You know, Royce is a very old friend of mine. And it’s dope seeing it come full circle, because Royce used to hang out at my house in Boston like 11 years ago when him and Em weren’t as cool as they used to be. I watched Royce go from the top back down to the bottom, and way back up. To be working with him on [Shady XV] is crazy because we both have seen each other’s careers change so much, and I’m happy to consider Royce a good friend.

Yeah, you and Royce have a very rich history together. However, most of the artists on here—Big Sean, Dej Loaf, and most notably Eminem—you haven’t worked with. I’m sure you’ve probably imagined what a collaboration between you and Eminem would sound like. Does this meet your expectations?
It’s crazy because when I made the beat, I was like, "Em would body this ****." I actually haven’t heard the song yet. I can’t wait to. But the beat alone is just so Eminem. I’m excited to hear what they did with it.




Did you know going in this would be an all-Detroit track?
I had no clue. I didn’t know what it was going to be. I just knew that Em was on it, because they were mixing, and we were sending files back and forth. But this is a big surprise.

So how does that feel, to be from Massachusetts, then produce “Detroit Vs. Everybody?”
It’s dope man. It’s kind of like the same way I look at how I moved from Boston to New York, and the impact that I have on New York hip-hop. Especially to be where I’m from—I grew up like an hour north of Boston. To come from there, to where I’m at now, it’s mind-blowing, man. I appreciate it every day.

I think it’s fair to say your stock did just go up.
Yeah, definitely. The timing for this is so perfect with everything else that I got going on right now. So I’m really excited.

I got to give Paul credit, because he literally A&Red that record off his own radio station. He heard me play the sample on the radio, and was like, “You should make a beat out of that,” and the way it’s coming together now is crazy.

Can you reveal the sample that you used on it?
I can’t do that right now, especially not before the record is out. It’ll say it in the credits on the album.

Definitely—
Let’s just say, I’m going to take the crown for—at least in the last couple years—the way that I flipped the drums in this record. Because it’s a classic drum break, but I did it in a different way. I took the sessions of the actual drums and flipped it, so I can’t wait for people to hear that.

Aside from Eminem, whose verse are you looking forward to hearing the most?
Honestly, I’m curious as to what Big Sean is going to sound like on my beat. I’m real curious. Because it’s not a typical Big Sean beat at all.

Is it a boom bap type of beat?
The definition of boom bap. I’m really excited to hear the song period, man. It’s the kind of beat that I’ve always wanted to hear Eminem on. It’s definitely a classic vibe. I’m also curious to hear what everybody else sounds like. Obviously Royce is gonna ******* body it, because Royce has bodied this style of beat. But it will be dope to hear someone like Big Sean and Dej Loaf on some boom bap ****, you know?

i'm thinking Detroit Vs. Everybody might be the next single
 
I feel embarrassed that I was ever as huge a Eminem fan as I was back in the day.

Really a shame that he's become a puppet that only makes Pop music now. 
 
I feel embarrassed that I was ever as huge a Eminem fan as I was back in the day. :lol:

Not sure how. His first three albums were all classics or borderline classics. I still play them and I'm still impressed with that work.



Detroit vs Everybody could have at least had a producer from Detroit if you're gonna have Dej Loaf's wack *** on it.

Basically. I don't know how you could be embarrassed by 3 good to great albums. If you're a big fan of Recovery & Relapse, then yea, I'd have a little vomit in my throat

His first 3 albums are certified greats imo. Encore is okay to me it's as if half of that album is good when he was making serious songs but all the goofy tracks were lost their appeal quickly. Rain man is still my least favorite song from Em :lol: I liked relapse a lot tho I think it's a good album and recovery is okay/meh to me but I can respect it. And I did like MMLP2 a lot even tho some people had a lot of problems with it. I liked a majority of the tracks on it

I agree first 3 are classics. Encore was when he was going thru depression and poppin pills n stuff so i chalk that one up. Relapse imo was dope too.

That Rain Man beat was ill tho, wish it could have been used better.
