The crew benefited from Dr. Dre production on both releases, along with a College Dropout -era Kanye beat. After Proof was murdered in , Eminem stepped out of D Even before his unannounced exit, Eminem appeared distanced from the Dirty Dozen in the eyes of some.
Between and the early s, reports swirled that Eminem was back in the studio with his Detroit brothers. However, since his superstardom, Em appeared on solo singles by Swifty, Proof, and Bizarre. Yet the group was sadly destined for their first brush with death. On May 21st, , Bugz was murdered in a drive-by shooting. By the time an ambulance arrived, it was too late. Upon receiving the news, the group was devastated, though the circumstances served to bring them together. While Royce currently stands proudly beside Em, he once proved a formidable foe for D12, after a misunderstanding led to bad blood between the artists.
Eventually, the beef was squashed after Royce and Proof pulled guns on each other, got arrested, and settled their differences from adjoining jail cells.
After patching things up with Royce, D12 soldiered on toward their sophomore album, D12 World. And while hindsight would ultimately clear the narrative, something was afoot with Eminem.
The once razor-focused lyricist seemed to have lost a step, with D12 World coming forth as the early warning sign. While Eminem was quietly battling his demons, D12 was pondering their next move. Such tactics were ultimately rendered futile when tragedy struck yet again. On April 11th, Proof was murdered in a Detroit nightclub, after an altercation turned violent. The track was seen as an awful attempt to diss. This was the last diss record that was released. After all this, Royce and Proof were still exchanging threats and such and decided to end it for good, by meeting in Detroit, just the two of them.
When met up, Royce and Proof went at it and were both arrested for each carrying a weapon. They both spent a night in the cell together and had a chance to talk it through and solved the beef there that night. Obviously Eminem and Royce patched things up as they have made many collaborations after this beef. Eminem's beef with Ja rule was actually started with rapper 50 Cent who had beef with Ja rule when both rappers had begun to show interest in a career in rap.
It is important to note both were born in the Jamaican area of Queens New York. Though both made it big, at the time Ja Rule was considered one of New York's biggest rappers and had gone platinum in with his album "Venni Vetti Vecci" whereas 50 Cent was only starting to sell mixtapes and wasn't into a big-time career like Ja was. At this point, 50 Cent hasn't been discovered by Eminem or by that matter signed to Shady Records and was looking to get signed.
During a video-shot for Ja's single "Murda 4 Life", 50 Cent apparently tried talking to Ja and according to 50 he was very disrespectful to him and when 50 suggested to Ja and Ja's crew that he might try to get signed to Murder Ink he was straight up rejected in a very disdainful way. Later after Fiddy 50 got offended Ja reportedly stated that Fiddy didn't like to see "all the love he got". Later that same month Ja rule was held at gunpoint in Southside Jamaica Queens where he was filming another music video and was robbed of his chain.
Sometime later Ja Rule spotted the person who robbed him at a club with 50 and was furious. In Fiddy's biography "From Pieces to Weight" he describes the interaction: "Ja saw me in a club with the kid who robbed him. Even later in the year, 50 released a single from his shelved debut album where he disses Ja rule, full disclosure in the track Fiddy doesn't actually say Ja Rule directly but he painted a good enough picture and his fans got the point.
The next step that happens in the beef really started to turn it violent when Fiddy and Ja Rule, unaware of the other, were both booked to perform at an Atlanta nightclub. There are many different conflicting reports of what happened that night but it is clear that it started somehow like this; when the two saw each other they spoke and had a brief argument where Ja questioned Fiddy and then it turned physical with both sides swinging punches. The exact way the fight happened is unclear as Ja claims that he pulled Fiddy's shirt over his head and started swinging at him, Fiddy claimed that he knocked him out and stole yet another one of his chains, Chris Gotti says that Ja Rule beat him and then Fiddy ran, some of Fiddy's crew said that Fiddy broke Ja's chain.
But ultimately whatever happened that night sparked more violence in March when Fiddy was stabbed at Hit Factory studios in New York after Ja Rule was told he was recording there.
This ultimately started a full scale diss war between Shady Records and Murder Inc. Ja stated in the song:. As you probably know Eminem doesn't take lightly to mentions of his daughter on the track and just a week after Ja's diss was released, Eminem, 50 Cent and Busta Rhymes diss him in "Hail Mary".
Ja responded in his album "Blood In My Eye". However, this album was considered too weak to respond to as it panned and failed to match his success in his other albums. The flyer said "Appearance from ICP Violent J wasn't too happy about this and he told Eminem How the fuck are you gonna put us on this flyer when you don't even know if we are going to show up? Eminem then replied Well I'm asking you now, you gonna show up or what? Violent J then said Hell no man we might have if you haven't put us on the fuckin' flyer like this, Don't be putting our name on this shit.
Then Violent J walked off. Eminem soon began trashing ICP through interviews and conversations with friends. Eminem also dissed ICP in some of his concerts involving a staged phone call where a supposed Violent J asks Eminem if he can suck his dick, and the infamous blow-up doll skit.
ICP also appeared on an MTV spot detailing the beef at that time, where they threatened to throat punch him and demonstrated on an Eminem blow up doll where they would hit hi, tearing its head off in the process.
