Justin Bieber throws shade at Eminem, claiming the rap legend is out of touch with today’s hip-hop scene. He didn’t hold back, calling Eminem’s latest album, “The
Death of Slim Shady,” outdated and out of sync with the current vibe.

Justin Bieber has taken a swipe at Eminem, claiming the musician ‘doesn’t understand the new generation of rap.’
In a recent social media post, pop superstar Justin Bieber sparked a wave of controversy by criticizing legendary rapper Eminem. Bieber, known for his chart-topping hits and massive following, suggested that Eminem is out of touch with the new wave of hip-hop, specifically pointing to the rapper’s latest album, “The Death of Slim Shady,” as sounding outdated.

The album, which hit the number spots on the UK and US Billboard charts, features several diss tracks aimed at artists including Diddy, Lizzo, Megan Thee Stallion, Caitlyn Jenner and MGK…

“The Death of Slim Shady,” released this month, 12th July, has been a topic of discussion in the music community. While some critics have praised Eminem’s lyrical prowess and intricate wordplay, others have noted that the album’s style feels reminiscent of his earlier work, rather than embracing the evolving sound of contemporary hip-hop. Eminem, who has been a dominant force in the rap industry for over two decades, has often been lauded for his ability to adapt and innovate. However, Bieber’s comments suggest that not everyone feels he has successfully kept pace with the genre’s current trends.
The response to Bieber’s critique has been mixed. Eminem’s fans were quick to defend the rapper, emphasizing his impact on hip-hop and his continued relevance. “Eminem paved the way for so many artists today,” one fan tweeted. “He’s a legend, and legends don’t need to follow trends.”
On the other hand, some in the music industry have echoed Bieber’s sentiments. “Justin has a point,” said a prominent music producer who wished to remain anonymous. “Hip-hop is constantly evolving, and it’s important for even the biggest names to stay connected with what’s happening now. Eminem’s influence is undeniable, but the new wave of hip-hop has a different sound and energy.”

Eminem, known for his unapologetic and often provocative style, has yet to
respond to Bieber’s comments. The rapper has previously addressed criticisms and controversies through his music, leading some to speculate that a response might come in the form of a future track.
This isn’t the first time Eminem has faced scrutiny from younger artists. In recent years, the generational divide within hip-hop has become more pronounced, with newer artists pushing the boundaries of the genre in innovative ways. Eminem, with his storied career and iconic status, finds himself at a crossroads where honoring his legacy and adapting to new trends intersect.
Although the post may ignite fractious relations between the pair, it appears they have been friendly in the past.

In 2017, Where Are U Now singer Justin posted a throwback snap from 2009 of him meeting the iconic rapper at the start of his teen pop career.
Justin also covered the rapper’s 2002 hit Lose Yourself, during a concert in London back in 2015.
Love Yourself singer Justin has ventured into rapping in the past, most memorably on 2012 hit song, Boyfriend where he uttered the lines ‘swag, swag, swag, on you, sitting by the fire while we eatin’ fondue.’

As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: the dialogue between different generations of artists is crucial for the growth and evolution of music. Bieber’s critique, while controversial, highlights the ever-changing landscape of hip-hop and the ongoing conversation about what defines the genre in the modern era.
For now, fans and industry watchers alike will be keeping a close eye on any potential responses from Eminem and the broader implications for the relationship between established icons and emerging talents in hip-hop.
