Last year, Eminem offered up Drake some advice as it pertains to being on top of the game on Music To Be Murdered By – Side B track “Zeus.”

Ice Cube recently sat down with HipHopDX where he reflected on the Up In Smoke Tour having Eminem lower on the bill than most would think.
“I mean, at the time, Eminem was opening up, you know,” he said. “Like, after Warren G, Eminem was going on. So that just shows you the level that we were at, that we was on. He could’ve headlined.”
