Eminem and Hush

[TheGentlePlayer]

I know im late, but I just found out about this Detroit rapper named Hush. He is a long time friend of Em and he released his debut album in 2005.
Eminem even apperead in his music video

Em was also on the album

Both songs is prod by Em.

They was friends way before Em got famous. He is even credited on The Slim Shady EP from 1997 and has a song with Royce too.
Im just wondering if Em is still close with Hush?

That scene in 8 Mile where Eminem’s character busts a rival rapper’s nose for sexing up his girl at a radio station?

“That is a culmination of me and this rapper Champtown’s beef with Em back in the day,” explains Hush. “Em was beefing with Champ because his girl [Kim] was trying to get with him, and I was boys with Champ, so that meant I had a beef with Em. The thing was, yeah, we got into it and, yeah, my nose got broken, but it wasn’t because Em punched me or anything. It was because we were fighting and he stood up real quickly and my nose hit his collarbone. It was a total accident.”

Hush’s vantage point on the local hip-hop scene, especially Eminem’s early days, when they were both struggling white rappers with new babies (Em with Hailie and Hush with Michael, who’s now 8) hasn’t exactly endeared him to the scene — local or otherwise. Hush offered revealing remarks about pre-rock star Marshall Mathers in England’s MixMag and in Metro Times late last summer, detailing both Mathers’ personal family and pill-popping battles, and also his love-hate relationship with then-girlfriend Kim, including the nugget that she once worked at a massage parlor in Warren.

Hush says when 8 Mile came out, MTV offered to fly him and one-time Eminem producer DJ Rec (Bob Claus) out to New York to surprise the rapper on “Total Request Live.” After the articles came out, however, “I just never heard from them again.”

Ditto for E’s more recent “True Hollywood Story: Eminem.” Hush says he received a preliminary call from a local music journalist who passed his name along to the show’s producers. But when it became clear Hush knew the kind of details of Em’s past that were more than just exploitation fodder, his phone stopped ringing.

Some of this article is false because they couldnt of stopped talking since the release of 8 mile because Hush was the opening act for the Anger Management Tour 3 in 2005. And Hush's album that Em was on came out in 2005 as well

He didn't say Em stopped calling him, he said MTV stopped calling him.

Same here. I don't remember that guy being at the Denver show. Lil Jon was our opening act. Shoulda been Ludacris. But I had the weirdest contact high at that show, so who knows who was really there.

prolly jus did it for the detroit show since hes from there. I know it was Hush cuz i never had heard of him untill i saw him live and i bought his album later on in the week cuz i thought he was a dope performer and i liked the hush is coming song
