Eminem’s Diss Track “Smack You” Leaks Online: Aimed at Suge Knight and Ja Rule

Eminem’s hard-hitting diss track “Smack You,” reportedly aimed at Suge Knight and Ja Rule, has surfaced online, reigniting discussions about past feuds in hip-hop. The track, believed to date back to the mid-2000s during the height of 50 Cent’s feud with Ja Rule, showcases Eminem at his most brutal and unfiltered.

In the song, Eminem pulls no punches as he blames Suge Knight, the co-founder of Death Row Records, for the deaths of 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G. He raps, “I’m holding Suge responsible for the deaths of the two greatest rappers to ever grace the face of this planet.” Slim Shady’s lines are a direct indictment of Suge’s alleged role in the violent events that shook the hip-hop world in the 1990s.

The Detroit rapper doesn’t stop there, adding: “If only the late, great Mr. Christopher Wallace could talk / He could tell you himself / I’m holding Suge responsible for the death of Ja Rule or anyone else down with Tha Row.” The sharp critique ties Suge’s influence to the demise of artists and serves as a scathing commentary on his legacy.

Eminem also sets his sights on Ja Rule, mocking his association with Suge and claiming it was a desperate attempt to boost his career. “Beggin’ Suge to get him to follow you to all the clubs / But you’re too dumb to see that your publishing’s all he wants,” Em raps. He paints a grim picture of betrayal, referencing past violent incidents involving Death Row Records associates.

Slim Shady takes further shots at Ja for attempting to model himself after 2Pac. “The hardest workin’ artist since ‘Pac? Stop, no, you’re not / Oh my God! Knock it off, Ja, get off his jock,” he quips, ridiculing Ja Rule’s self-proclaimed comparisons to the iconic rapper.

The leaked track is one of over a dozen unreleased Eminem songs that recently surfaced online, including collaborations with 50 Cent, Nate Dogg, Slaughterhouse, Anderson .Paak, and Westside Boogie. While Eminem has yet to comment on the leak, longtime Aftermath producer Fredwreck issued a stern warning to the leaker, hinting at consequences for their actions.

Eminem’s scathing bars on “Smack You” are a reminder of his unrelenting style during his prime years, especially when defending his camp. The track underscores his loyalty to 50 Cent amid the heated beef with Ja Rule and serves as a time capsule of one of hip-hop’s most intense rivalries.

Neither Suge Knight nor Ja Rule has responded to the leaked diss track. However, “Smack You” is sure to reignite conversations about the complex web of feuds that defined early 2000s hip-hop. As fans revisit this unreleased gem, it’s a stark reminder of Eminem’s legacy as one of the genre’s most formidable battle rappers.
