The gauntlet is being thrown down by Metro Boomin! The entire hip-hop globe is hanging out in distress after the record producer’s interest in Working with rap superstar Eminem! A couple days before, Eminem’s only disclosure was a cryptic teaser he wouldn’t put out his next album, called The Death of Slim Shady.
Metro Boomin has lavished praise on Eminem before. Ever since then, he’s been a fan of Em’s impeccable wordplay. In reality, the pair once dreamed up a “fantasy album” with this decade’s greatest rap stars from the early 2000s—with Eminem leading the way.
Metro Boomin AKA Leland Tyler Wayne began spinning beats at only 16. And nowadays, he’s a Grammy-awarded producer with bangers such as “Tuesday” with iLoveMakonnen and Drake, “Jumpman” with the same high-octane duet, and the viral hit “Bad and Boujee” with Migos.

What more can we add? Eminem, or Marshall Bruce Mathers III, is one of rap’s most formidable giants. His sharp humor, powerful flow, and complex rhyme partnerships have put him on a pedestal with the best to ever rap.
And the chance of this collaboration ever happening has fans on the edge of their seats. The thought of Eminem’s rapid-fire verses imbued with Metro Boomin’s traditional dark, atmospheric beats is a mouth-watering juxtaposition. Yet, will their specific styles complement each other and form one unified whole? This is the million-dollar question, and the response depends on the listener’s preference. A quick glance at social media indicates a variety of reactions, ranging from unadulterated excitement to uncertainty.
Will Eminem accept the challenge from Metro Boomin? Hard to say, but it is clear that everyone is looking forward to this happening. Hip-hop fans, be on the lookout because this collaboration may really change something!
