During ApeFest last night, Eminem and Snoop Dogg premiered the official song and video for their long-rumored collaboration, ”From The D 2 The LBC”, changed from the original title of “From Detroit to the LBC”.
Eminem comes out blazing with his verse:
And when I pull the big guns out that trigger/Pull it, until the motherfuckin’ shit runs out of bullets
Somebody better call a ambulance /If you live, it’ll be miraculous
I got more hits than a contract killer/Like the caterpillars that don’t got antennaes
Other words, I don’t got no goddamn fillers/Mount Westmore, you did not plan for this
From Detroit all the way to Los Angeles
And Snoop Dogg follows up with a dope verse of his own:
My nigga, I’m moppin’, don’t step on my floor/Now niggas is copyin’
Niggas be opping through all of this opulence/Gave me a task, I conquer it
This ain’t the time for ponderin’/You niggas is slanderin’, this real shit, niggas be honorin’ (Hol’ up)
You lookin’ for followers, and not watchin’ my niggas that’s followin’
Nigga, fuck them likes, I’m yelling like, “What? My niggas young problem”
Eastside, East up, nigga, Eminem, woke the beast up
Let y’all ride, now a nigga want it back like the lease up
Last November, during an interview with the Rolling Stone Music Now Podcast, Snoop Dogg revealed that he and Eminem had collaborated on a song titled “From Detroit To LBC”.
Snoop told host Brian Hiatt, “There is a Snoop Dogg and Eminem song on my Westmore album. It is called ‘From Detroit to the LBC’,” the Long Beach icon reveals. “That’s my Mount Westmore album that is coming out in January and Eminem and Snoop single is featured on there. And that motherfucker slapped. That s**t is huh… It was very challenging for me. Eminem really f**king shot at me. He shot his shot and as a rapper that’s what you want when you get a feature, to have to work you f**king a** off. He is going that hard because he knows I’m going to match him on the same level and that’s what it is when you make records with people that you love. It’s competitive but for the right reason. To bring the best out of each other.”
Originally intended to be featured on the Mount Westmore album Bad MF’s, the long-awaited collaboration between Snoop Dogg & Eminem has finally arrived and can be seen below:
