Mac Lethal Opens Up About Eminems Reaction to Tom MacDonald: The Inside Story
In a fascinating revelation that has sparked intrigue amongst hip-hop fans, Kansas City, Missouri-born rapper Mac Lethal has recently released a diss track targeting Canadian rapper Tom MacDonald. Tom MacDonald is perhaps best known for his bold move of buying one of Eminems NFT beats and dropping a track titled Dear Slim as an homage to the iconic Detroit rapper. However, recent claims from Mac Lethal suggest that Eminem’s reaction to MacDonald’s music might not be what fans would expect.
In a detailed description accompanying his YouTube video, Lethal opens up about the history between himself and MacDonald. He explains, Several years ago, a rapper by the name of Tom MacDonald made a couple of disses about me. I responded with one, but honestly didnt want to engage with him because I, simply put, dont respect him as an artist. I honestly wanted nothing to do with it. I came up battling people like The Saurus and Illmaculate. Legitimate battle rap legends. A Canadian grifter who started rapping after he heard the Marshall Mathers LP, who has super cool Slipknot braids, and looks totally scary in his oversized contacts, is not my idea of a competitor. If you like his music, great. I dont think its good, edgy, controversial, or cool. If you do, go listen to it!
Mac Lethal continues to describe the evolution of their relationship over time, noting, We actually squashed it, DMd, even followed each other. Talked a few times. We moved past it. Even though his fanbase of illiterate inbred meth-heads with missing teeth still incessantly harasses me, I was impressed by his candor and moved on with my life. Hes a nice guy at least when you talk to him one-on-one. Unfortunately, a couple of weeks ago he decided to randomly diss me on wax. Asserting that he trampled me when we battled, and even going as far as mentioning situations in my personal and professional life. I thought it was a bummer. Apparently, he took my kindness when we battled as a weakness, and thinks Im going to sit here quiet.
Mac Lethal makes it clear hes ready to respond with the first part of his comeback, teasing that a harsher second half is on the way. He adds, So heres the first half of my response. The second half is much meaner. By the way, Ive been moving around a lot and not super active on YouTube lately. Ill get back to it soon yall. Moving cities right now, and my pops is very sick. p.s. I dont give a fk about relevancy. He started this st.
These statements set the backdrop for Mac Lethal’s biting lyrics in the second verse of his diss track, where he narrates his interactions with D12 and reveals Eminem’s supposed reaction to MacDonalds homage, hinting at an astonishing moment: “I went on tour with D12, those dudes are my new friends. They showed me some video you made for Eminem. They told me they were in the studio with Slim when he watched it. He cringed, and he cut it off thirty seconds in. Eminem doesnt like you, he does not respect you.”
In a masterstroke of lyrical storytelling, Lethal suggests that MacDonalds dreams of collaborating with his idol were dashed, painting a picture of admiration gone awry. He continues to critique MacDonald’s lyrical choices, hinting at the controversies that swirl around MacDonalds lyrics, and adds a layer of humor by referencing unlikely collaborations: Im sorry buddy, I know thats not how you envisioned it. You thought hed call you like, Hey Tom, its Slim Shady. Youre so controversial, how are you this crazy?
As fans eagerly await further developments in this unfolding saga, one thing remains clear: the world of rap is never short of drama, competition, and unexpected twists. Stay tuned for more from Mac Lethal and the intricate world of hip-hop rivalries!
