Tom MacDonald dropped $100,000 on one of <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/eminem-unveils-shady-con-with-nft-details-news.130726.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Eminem&#8217;s original NFTs</a>, the instrumental for “Stan’s Revenge,” and turned it into his own three-minute track, “Dear Slim.”
“Whether you love me or hate me or think I’m crazy, dropped a hundred grand to get a beat from Shady, I really hope when I bought it he wasn’t angry, but I really had to tell him that he made me,” MacDonald raps on the song.
<a href="/profile/Eminem" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Eminem</a> partnered with NiftyGateway back in April for Shady Con, an event where the legendary rapper debuted numerous unique NFTs that would be available for purchase.
“I’ve been collecting since I was a kid, everything from comic books to baseball cards to toys, as well as every rap album on cassette I could get my hands on,” Eminem explained in an official statement ahead of the event. “Not much has changed for me as an adult. I’ve attempted to re-create some of those collections from that time in my life, and I know I’m not alone. I wanted to give this drop the same vibe of, ‘Oh, man I gotta get just that one or maybe even the whole set!’ It’s been a lot of fun coming up with ideas from my own collecting passion.”

MacDonald wrote about his decision to purchase the NFT on Twitter, Saturday night.
“&#8217;Dear Slim&#8217; was probably the most expensive &amp; creative Thank You in Hip-Hop history. I cant even pretend to give a fuck if you don’t like it&#8230;I’m not humble enough to downplay how dope it was&#8230;and I’m not too cool to acknowledge the man who inspired me. Suck it.&#8221;
As of Saturday, the song has over 2.3 million views on YouTube.
