If you’re a diehard Eminem fan, you probably already know that Marshall Mathers wrote the following three songs for big names in hip-hop. For the uninitiated and the casual listeners, though, these songs might come as a bit of a surprise. Let’s take a look at a few gems from hip-hop history’s past that Eminem actually wrote.
“Got Some Teeth” by Obie Trice
In the early years of Shady Records, rapper 50 Cent was famously signed to the label. His debut, Get Rich Or Die Tryin’, was a huge hit in 2003. It’s all anyone in the game was talking about, honestly.
It’s a shame, considering a few other great rappers were signed to the label and produced excellent records that very year. Obie Trice’s debut Cheers is just one record that got overshadowed. “Got Some Teeth” is a standout track from that album, and it was co-written and produced by Eminem himself. Fortunately, the song did quite well in the UK.
“Hello” by Ice Cube (featuring Dr. Dre and MC Ren)
N.W.A. helped make gangsta rap as big as it was in the late 1980s and onward. By the time the new millennium rolled around, the outfit had more or less disbanded. However, three members reunited in 2000 for a heavy-hitting song.
“Hello” features Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and MC Ren, and Dr. Dre’s verse was reportedly written by Eminem. I can only imagine how cool it felt for Eminem to pen a verse for one of the greats who came before him. However, I should mention that this is a tentative entry, considering that neither Eminem nor Dr. Dre confirmed this to be true. It really sounds like Em wrote it, though.
“American You” by Yelawolf
This entry on our list of songs Eminem wrote is a real shocker. Tennessee-based rapper Yelawolf first got ears on his radar with the mixtape “Trunk Muzik”, and he was later signed to Shady Records. His 2015 album Love Story boasts a few singles, one of which is “American You”.
This song’s a little bit rap, a little bit Southern rock, and a little bit country. Eminem produced the track and co-wrote it, along with Yelawolf and Luis Resto. Yelawolf would later go independent, but I can imagine this was a wild one to produce with the famous Eminem.
