Eminem put an end to his feud with Limp Bizkit in the new track, ‘Guilty Conscience 2.’ It came out as part of his new album, ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce),’ on July 12.
Another song named ‘Guilty Conscience’ appeared in 1999’s ‘The Slim Shady LP,’ as well. But the new one showed how the rapper left Slim Shady and his past conflicts behind this time.
Eminem and Shady went back and forth about old controversies throughout the track before the rapper killed his persona with a gun. He mentioned some of the artists he had beef with, including Limp Bizkit, at the end. The lyrics read:
“Yeah, b*tch this is for him
Christopher, MGK, Nick
And for Limp Bizkit and them
Midgets and Ben
’Zino, in addition to him
Will Smith and to Canibus
If you’re listening, this is the end
So to Jamar and Ja Rule and to all
My feuds including ma
I’m welcoming you to my
Last hoorah, I bid you goodbye”
How Did The Eminem-Limp Bizkit Feud Start?
Eminem’s feud with Limp Bizkit dates back to the early 2000s. The rapper dissed the band in 2001’s ‘Girls’ a year after collaboration with them on ‘Break Stuff.’
The song name-dropped Limp Bizkit as well as DJ Lethal and Fred Durst by describing them as ‘corny son-of-a-b*tches.’ He called Lethal a ‘little f*ckin’ weasel’ and Durst a ‘F*ckin’ sissy, up on stage/ Screamin’ how people hate you.’
The beef started after Everlast accidentally dissed Eminem’s daughter in a song. The rapper wanted to respond with a track involving Limp Bizkit, but the band stepped down due to DJ Lethal’s friendship with Everlast despite agreeing to it at first.
Lethal’s words on the Eminem-Everlast conflict in a later interview added to the tension. The ‘Rap God’ singer shared:
“Lethal says, ‘I think personally Eminem is a good rapper, he’s a better MC but I think in a fight, Everlast would whip his *ss.’ Now come on Dawg… I’m sitting at home watching the TV and I’m like, ‘What?! What the f*ck?! You were supposed to be on the song with me!’”
