Oh Sh*t: Eminem Fires Shots at Jay, Kanye on Leaked “I Get Money” Freestyle (Listen & Download)

As some might remember, in interviews to the lead-up to "Relapse" Eminem mentioned that he had recorded material that took shots at some of the biggest names in the game, but then he sobered up and realized it'd just be pointless drama, so he buried the tracks. Well consider it unburied. On recently leaked freestyle "I Get Money" we hear the kind of swaggering, boasting Em we've almost never heard before.

Ok, so despite my attention grabbing headline, this doesn't really fire shots at Kanye or Jay-Z, more like shots at everyone who puts Jay and Yeezy ahead of him, but still, lines like these are guaranteed to get people talking:

"They keep saying the same rappers are the best / Jay-Z and Kanye West / maybe they just tryin to distract you from the fact that I'm comin back / or maybe it's because I ain't black, maybe it's because of that / maybe it's because I', the highest selling artist in rap."

On the real, the rational, sensible side of my brain knows this isn't really a big deal - my best guess is it was recorded almost four years ago when 50's "I Get Money" beat was hot. But the irrational, emotional, controversy-loving side of my brain is like "Oh shit!!!!!!!!" So how about it RefinedHype Nation - is this actually kind of like a big deal?

(By the way, Em's right. He almost never talks about it, except for here, but the man's got more money than 99.9% of the rappers who talk about their cash flow.)
