The hip-hop universe is buzzing with anticipation as Netflix gears up for the second season of its hit reality competition series, “Rhythm + Flow”. And this time, they’ve got a secret weapon up their sleeve: Eminem.
Eminem: The unexpected guest judge
Jesse Collins, the mastermind behind some of hip-hop’s most iconic moments, recently spilled the beans on Eminem’s involvement in the show. In an exclusive interview with Sway In The Morning, Collins shared the inside scoop on what went down during the making of “Rhythm + Flow” Season 2.
“After season 1, we were knee-deep in production for season 2 when the pandemic hit,” Collins revealed. “We thought it would be a brief hiatus, but little did we know, Covid had other plans. Fast forward to today, and we’re finally ready to drop the bomb: Eminem is part of the lineup!”
The battle that changed everything
Eminem’s journey to superstardom is the stuff of legends. But did you know that a pivotal battle in LA played a crucial role in shaping his destiny? Collins spilled the tea on this game-changing moment.
“Collins said, leaning in. Eminem, broke and desperate, battling it out in a gritty LA venue. He was on the brink of eviction, and that battle was his last shot at survival. But fate had other ideas. He faced off against a local rapper, someone with deep connections. Even if Em had slain dragons, he wouldn’t have won. But here’s the twist: he didn’t care about the victory. He cared about the tape.”
The mixtape that altered history
Eminem’s mixtape, born from the ashes of defeat, found its way into the hands of none other than Dr. Dre. The rest? Well, it’s etched in hip-hop lore. Dre recognized the raw talent, the hunger, and the fire. And just like that, Slim Shady burst onto the scene, forever changing the game.
Eminem’s return to the spotlight
Now, fast-forward to “Rhythm + Flow” Season 2. Eminem steps into the judge’s seat, bringing his unparalleled expertise and unfiltered honesty. As a special guest judge, he’s not just critiquing bars; he’s shaping careers. And the contestants? They’re in for a wild ride.
Collins and the show’s executive producers, Dionne Harmon, promise a season that dives deeper, peeling back layers to reveal the heart and soul of hip-hop.
“We’re seeking unconventional voices, they declared, “authentic stories that resonate. This isn’t just a show; it’s a movement.”
So mark your calendars, hip-hop aficionados. “Rhythm + Flow” Season 2, with Eminem in the mix, drops this November. Get ready for lyrical fireworks, jaw-dropping performances, and a front-row seat to hip-hop history.
