After hearing what Eminem said about him on Ez Mil's "Realest" single, Melle Mel is finally hitting back. On Tuesday (August 8) afternoon, the hip-hop veteran chiefly shared his response to the Detroit native on YouTube. Beforehand, he shared a teaser with fans on Instagram to generate plenty of buzz. "No apologies, this ain’t a disclaimer / I’m the king of legend, the first hall of famer," Mel firstly rhymes in the clip. "Makin’ diss tracks, I know you with that / Now everybody get ready for the kickback." At the end of the brief clip, he asks Em, "Why you hurt?"
As HipHopDX points out, it was only a few months ago that Melle speculated that the 8 Mile actor has only been so successful due to his skin colour. "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?" Slim Shady recently rapped before name-dropping his nemesis directly. "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."
