On the song, Realest, Eminem delivered the headline-grabbing verse. “Hip-Hop has been good to me, huh / But when they say that I’m only Top 5 ’cause I’m white, why would I be stunned?” Eminem rapped. “My skin color’s still working against me / ‘Cause second—I should be—to none / Bein’ white being why they put me at 5, nope, that’s why they can’t put me at 1.” In The Game (who released a scathing Em attack in 2022), Em continued, “Shout out to Furious Five and Grandmaster Flash, but boy / There’s someone who really is furious / Stay out his path, his wrath avoid / I’ll be the last to toy with a juice-head whose brain is half destroyed, like a meteor hit it / Now with Melle Mel, he lost his ass to ‘roids.” The Detroit, Michigan superstar was poking fun at the longtime body-building MC, who frequently displays his muscles when performing.

Now, Melle Mel, KRS-One and Main Source MC Mikey D during the 1980s, responds to Eminem. “No apologies, this ain’t a disclaimer / I’m the king of legends, the first Hall of Famer / Making diss tracks, I know you’re with that / Now everybody get ready for the kickback.” A snippet of the song AllHipHop Monday (August 7), before the full release moments ago. Melle uploaded a 72-second response, recorded to a beat featuring an arsenal of sound effects.

In the song, Melvin Glover spits lyrics including, “The Top 5 is cap / You the piss that’s on the floor in the elevator of Rap.” He then compares Em to “Pee Wee Herman,” whose creator, Paul Reubens, died last week. He raps, “I would give you a pound but I’d break your hand / I got a lawyer so white he would take your land.” The veteran follows with other jabs, referring to Slim Shady as “Pill Clinton” and “Pill Gates,” making light of his opponent’s previous addictions—suggesting a recent relapse. The song ends with Melle claiming, “Another little kid, don’t hate the great / More white chalk, more yellow tape,” before delivering his signature roar.
