Ja Rule vs. Eminem
Since Eminem signed 50, this battle spilled over into his trailer. And lemme tell ya, as Ja found out the hard way, you do NOT wanna go up against Em. He’s got Dr. Dre, 50, G-Unit, D-12, The Game and a slew of other talented rapper on his side, plus the backing of White America. Plus, quite frankly, love him or hate him, any fool will tell you, he can out rap just about every human in the solar system. Ja calling out Em was kind of like Lenny Kravitz calling out Eddie Van Halen for a guitar playing contest. The result? Has anyone heard a peep out of Ja Rule since? Case closed.

Eminem vs. Benzino and The Source
This is where things got interesting. First, Em destroys Ja, who is buddies with Ray Benzino, washed up rapper, successful club owner and part owner of acclaimed hip hop bible, The Source. So indirectly inspired to take on this white boy who dealt his pal such a fatal blow, Benzino gets The Source to do a series of articles bashing Eminem for killing hip hop by bringing in a white audience, accusing him of being a racist and bashing his music. They even went so far as to run a comic series depicting Benzino as the savior of rap and a beheaded Eminem as the slain enemy, followed by a slew of Em disses on mixtapes. All of this would seem impressive if Benzino wasn’t such a hack rapper, and his barbs seeming as lightweight as humanly possible when compared with the verbal ass-whoppin’ Em and his crew gave him over a series of diss tunes, culminating with “Monkey See Moneky Do,” “Do Rae Mi,” and “Bully” from the Straight From the Lab bootleg EP (dedicated entirely to destroying Benzino, Ja and Cannibus) and the scathing “Nail in the Coffin.” This battle resulted got so hot that XXL magazine jumped in and managed to side with Em’s camp, stuck ‘em all on the cover for a few issues, and managed to elevate themselves to direct competitors of The Source in the process.

Esham vs. Eminem and D12
He shoulda learned his lessons from all the others who tried and died, but legendary Detroit acid-rapper Esham decided to callout Em and his boys in d-12 for not reppin’ the 8 Mile properly, and promptly got stomped the f**k out at the WARP tour a few years ago. It’s a drag because Esham was an early influence on Eminem and just about every other rapper out of the Motor City, but, ehy, if you mess with the bull you get the horns, right?

Royce Da 5’9 vs. Eminem
Then former D-Town buddy Royce Da 5’9 got into the mix, lobbing a few bombs in Em’s direction on his own albums, most notably on “Malcolm X.” No worries, Em squashed him good over a few freestyles and firmly removed him fro the “one-to-watch” category. Again, too bad, as Royce was/is a great MC.
