Battle of Bars? Nick Cannon Releases “The Invitation,” A Diss Track to Eminem

Nick Cannon Vs. Eminem, a moment that is taking us back 10 years. A time when Mariah Carey released her own diss track (and video), in a way. However, it was revived with Cannon on T.I.’s new podcast. Now, we have a battle of rappers.

Some months have passed since Cannon’s interview with T.I., and there was no public response from Eminem, until Fat Joe’s new album. Eminem is featured of “Lord Above,” a song on his new album with Dre called Family Ties. Em took this chance to take shots, and respond to Cannon claims.

“Word to the Terror Squad, Joe, this is all puns aside though/I know me and Mariah didn’t end on a high note,” Em raps. “But that other dude’s whipped, that pussy got him neutered/Tried to tell him this chick’s a nut job before he got his jewels clipped/Almost got my caboose kicked, fool, quit, you not gon’ do shit/I let her chop my balls off, too ‘fore I lost to you, Nick/I should quit watchin’ news clips, yeah/My balls are too big, I should be talkin’ pool/’Cause I got scratches on my pocket, fall when I’m takin’ shots at you/ Fuck it….”

Cannon has retaliated against Em, enlisting Suge Knight (on a phone call from prison), Hitman Holla, Charlie Clips, and Prince Eazy. Cannon brought his family into the track, saying it was a set up to have him on the track, and more.

“Call Kim, somebody get Hailey and that other kid you raising that ain’t even your baby,” Nick raps. “Took a page out of Drake book, this might get a Grammy/We going back to back until you respond—on the family/My baby mama killed you off a decade ago/You still crying about it bitch, now who really the hoe?”
