Insane Clown Posse (ICP)

This beef has said to begun since 1995. Apparently Eminem was handing out flyers to a party he would be perfoming at, on which there was a joke that ICP would be appearing at the party. This is mentioned in ICP's latest Eminem diss, 'Nuthin but a bitch thang':
The diss goes: ''I remember yo ass at St.Andrews Hall handing out yo flyers 'come on and come all to my show'. I looked at WHAT right there, Insane Clown Posse might show up. What the fuck kinda rapper could be that lame, only way you draw people is to use our name, I could have fucked you up right there, but I let it pass, I felt sorry for yo bitch ass.''

One of the members of ICP saw this and told Eminem to fuck off. This started the whole rivalary and since then both parties have exchanged disses on records.

The St.Andrews incident is not alone. After seeing ICP at a club, Eminem and D12 are said to have shot up ICP's van with a painball gun, which Eminem talks about in 'Marshall Mathers.' ICP also mention this, in 'Nuthin but a bitch thang'. After Eminem made the events of that night public, ICP released a remix of the popular Eminerm hit 'My Name Is' called 'Slim Anus.'

Eminem also went to court on concealed weapon charges, where he apparenrtly pulled a gun on the ICP members. This occured after the gun charges with John Guerra were resolved. Slim received two years probation.
However, Eminem isnt the only one with a short fuse. An eminem fan went to an ICP concert purely to throw M&M's onto the stage. The ICP tour manager supposedly tried to strangle the Slim Shady fan after.
Christina Aguilera

The rivalary all started when Christina was presenting her MTV specuial, 'What A Girl Wants' back in 2000. She picked out Eminem's 'My Name Is' and put it in her top 10. She said: 'I think he's cute but I think he's married to Kim. Girls......dont let a guy put you down the way he does! Stand up for yourself!' Eminem didnt agree with this.
He also didnt think it was the right time for his marriage to Kim Scott to be made public yet. This is where the lyric from 'The Real Slim Shady', 'Yeah he's cute but I think he's married to Kim....hehe....'. Em also disses her by saying; 'Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs/so I can sit next to Carson Daily and Fred Durst/Hear em argue who she gave head to first.'

When Aguilera presented the VMA's 2000, and the guest were read off, Eminem happened to be mentioned. At the hearing of his name she said 'And anyway.....!'. A similar thing happened when she was presenting the VMA's 2002 and Em won an award for Best Male. She said, 'Oh interesting....Eminem.' And promptly turned her nose up, giving a dirty look.

On her album; Stripped, she hits back with a track, 'Cant Hold Us Down' which relates to the 'verbal abuse' she has received from both Eminem and Fred Durst.
Limp Bizkit

DJ Lethal is probably the main reason for the Limp Bizkit beef. He was set to do a song with Eminem, until he commented on the whole Everlast/Eminem beef. He said the although Eminem would win any material fight, Everlast would win any pyshical fight.
Eminem decided to devote a whole track to diss Limp Bizkit, 'Girls' and it is on the D12 album, 'Devil's Night'. The diss from one verse goes:
'Come on dogg, you were s'pose to be on that song/talkin how bad you hate him/now you all in his thong/whats wrong/and fred you said you was dissin him too/i shoulda knew better than to listen to you/you fuckin sissy/up on stage screamin how people hate you/they dont hate ypu/they just think your corny/since Christina played you.'
Fred Durst tried to give Eminem five as he walked past him at the MTV Music Awards 2000, but Eminem just walked on by. He later commented that he did this on purpose. Durst continues to listen to Eminem's stuff, and never replies to any disses.
Vanilla Ice

Vanilla Ice decided to talk a whole load of shit about Eminem in VIBE magazine. Eminem retaliated by saying: 'Vanilla Ice dont like me/said some shit in VIBE to spite me/then went and dyed his hair just like me/'. This was taken from the song; 'Marshall Mathers'.
Vanilla Ice also commented in a MTV interview that Eminem wasnt talented. He said that Eminem wouldnt be anything without Dr.Dre, and Dr.Dre could take a piece of crap and make it look like gold. Eminem retailiated by saying; 'Vanilla Ice is like that pipsqueak muthafucking mouse that you see running around but can never catch. But when we see him - Its gunna be ugly!'

Eminem has now embarrased Vanilla Ice further on The Eminem Show LP. These lyrics are taken from the song 'My Dads Gone Crazy';
'....cuz when I speak its tongue in cheek/id yank my fuckin teeth/before Id bite my tongue/Id slice my gums/get stuck by lightening twice at once/die and come back as Vanilla Ice's son/and walk round the rest of my life spit on/and hit/and kicked with shit....'.
There has been no known retailiation from Vanilla Ice.
Moby

When Moby was asked what he thought of Eminem, he responded with some things that Marshall didnt like. Eminem has dissed Moby a number of times, but my personal favourite is from the track 'Without Me'. It goes:
'and moby/you can get stomped by obie/you 36 year old bald headed fag blow me/you dont know me/your too old/let go/it over/nobody listens to techno'
The video for 'Without Me' shows Eminem dressed up as Moby, in a red spacesuit, meditating, then getting beaten up by Obie Trice. Also at his performance at the Anger Management Tour 2002, he shot a Moby dummy from the ceiling. In response, Moby has come up with a few smart ass comments, especially thrown at Eminem fans, and on his message board too. At the VMA's 02 Eminem was booed for dissing Moby. Eminem said: 'Keep booing. Keep booing little girl. I will hit a man with glasses'.
Nelly

Nelly started this beef, and all because he heard a rumour, that Eminem had been talking bout him. He started it when he went on MTV's 'TRL'. He made a few violent comments towards Eminem, saying that he better not go on tour to Nelly's hometown, 'St.Louis', coz otherwise he would make 'short work of them'.
He even went on to say that he 'eats m&m's' and he disses Eminem's style and the way he talks about his Uncle Ronnie. This is done in the song: '#1'. He also says in this song: 'mad cuz im hot just mad cuz he's not'. He also acusses Eminem of buying his music off Ebay, the leading internet auctioning service.
At the VMA's 02, Nelly was presenting the Video of The Year award, and was shocked and disturbed to see that Eminem's 'Without Me' had won. Eminem went up there to receive the award, and shook Nelly's hand, a after a quick hug walked away. It seems that if there was any rivalary, Em had just ended it.
NOTE: Nelly started this after hearing rumours!! He didnt even Hear Eminem diss him!
Chris Kirkpatrick

Chris Kirkpatrick, of N*Sync (or more famously nicknamed by Eminem N*Stink)
has made comments about Eminem after the lyrical content about Kirkpatrick and fellow N*sync members that Eminem has produced. Not only does Eminem diss them as a group, he has now started to diss Kirkpatrick singularly.
Justin Timberlake commented recently in the December issue of 'Blender' magazine, that he thinks Kirkpatrick would 'kick Eminem's ass'. 'I don't think he ought to. There's no need to get bent out of shape by something Eminem says,' he said. 'But I think if they were in a fight Chris would kick his ass. Chris is a tough little.....Chris is tough. And he has a napolean complex too, so he's extra tough. His toughness comes from the heart, because he was the little guy at school - he always had to stick up for himself.'

Eminem dissed Kirkpatrick by saying the following in the song, 'Without Me':
And Chris Kirkpatrick you can get your ass kicked/worse than them little Limp Bizkit bastards,'.
Cage

This beef has been going on ever since 1998, when Eminem released the Slim Shady EP. Cage had gone on record saying that Eminem had copied his lyrics and style, so Em responded in the song 'Role Model' by saying; 'Bought Cage's tape opened it and dubbed over it'.
In a song called, 'Drastic Measures,' Em disses Cage aswell. 'Im picking up Cage's sister early...went on stage and sprayed Cage with agent orange...'. In the same freestyle, Eminem also says, 'Wiped my arse with his page from the source,'. In a freestyle of Tony Touche's cypha 3 - 50 MC's, track 06, Eminem says, 'I write a rhyme a day, so it's no wonder your album is soundin' like a buncha shit that I would say. [Eminem screams CAGEEEE!]'.

Cage wasn't going to sit back and just take these insults. He began by dissing Eminem in a song called, 'And So Kiddies'. Cage mentions, 'Tired ryhme styles from Detroit, Michigan.' This is referring to Eminem's heavy MTV rotation. He re-names Eminem's alter ego (Slim Shady) calling him 'Bitch Lady'.

He was asked in an interview with
HipHopSite.com why the beef started, and replied, 'It started coz he's a bitch ass nigga! Right now it stand with me kicking in his fucking face, real horror show, I ain't letting all the shit he said slide.' He has also dissed Eminem and Dr Dre by making a parody of the Dre song, 'Still D.R.E', called, 'Still Cage', and dissing Eminem on, 'Illest Four Letter Word'.
Milkbone

This all started with one line from Eminem's, 'Just don't give a fuck'. The line goes: 'Im nicer than Pete, but Im on a search to crush a Milkbone'. Eminem says this wasn't meant to diss Milkbone, but its a metaphor of how society treats white rappers.
Everlast

This beef involves former House of Pain member, Erik Schrody, aka, Whitey Ford. After being part of Ice -T's LA rhyme syndicate cartel, he released 'Whitey Ford Sings The Blues', under the name of Everlast.

In one of Eminem's disses to Everlast, in the song 'Quitter', he explains how the whole beef began:
'Ima tell these muthafuckin fans the truth/the reason why you dissed me in the first/and i answered you/You said I passed you in the lobby/and glanced like I hadnt noticed you/bitch I had a show to do/like im supposed to be star struck/come over to you/you better shut your mouth while you O for 2'.
Whatever the reason for the beef between them, it continued through a range of songs. After Everlast was disrespected by Eminem, he decided to lash out. His first diss is on the song which he features on, 'Ear Drums Pop', by Dilated People. 'I buck a three eighty at ones that act shady/you know you aint the one the repped peckerwood status' he then goes on to add: 'Lets take it back to the house/slide off your blouse/lift uo your skirt/expose your panties/for the world to see/you cant rep it like me'.

When he heard this, whilst on the Anger Management Tour, Em was obviosuly pissed off. He retailiates on the B-Side of D12's 'Shit On You', and it's called 'I remember'. Em hits below the belt, commenting on the lowest points in Everlast's career, like; his age, heart problems, and even a mention of Everlast switch to being a Muslim was dropped in.
'Back in '94/like right before Miss Everlast was Whitey Ford/when House Of Pain was out of fame/destined to never jump around again'.
'Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit came along/and nobody want to hear your old ass sing anymore'.
'I was right there laughing when I heard the news/I just wish the cardiac would have murdered you'.
The beef got so bad the Em actually censored himself in one line, the line that made a reference to Everlasts switch of religion: 'I wasn't tryina steal your light or nuthin'/but your a homosexual white rappin irish....[bleep].' However, in this song, Eminem gives the impression he was once an Everlast fan.
Ja Rule

When 50 Cent got signed to Aftermath, thats when Em got involved, Ja Rule and 50 Cent have been enemies for years. I've heard that 50 Cent and Eminem have recorder a track together, murdering 'Murder INC's' most finest. Should be interesting.
Eminem gets props from every emcee on the planet, so Ja Rule and Irv Gotti of Murder INC just had to diss them, and word on the block is, Em's not happy. Dr.Dre is also there to put the two Murder Inc artists into their respective place. Wherever that is! Its a shame the exec's at Shady Records realised what the new diss track would start, and ain't releasing it. Damn shame.
Jermaine Dupri

The beef is mainly between Dre and Dupri, but Eminem has stuck up for Dre, along with Xzibit and joined in the beef against JD. It all started when Dupri claimed he was the best producer in the game, better than Dre, and better than Timberland, during an interview with XXL Magazine.
Dre has retailiated to this on the B-Side to 'Without Me', 'Say What You Say', saying:
'Been here longer than anyone in the game/and I ain't gotta lie about my age [but what about Jermaine?] FUCK JERMAINE/he don't belong speaking mine or Timberland's name/And don't think I do't read your lil interviews/and see what your saying/Im a giant/And I ain't gotta move till I'm provoked/when I see you Ima step on you/and not even know it/you midget/mini you/runnin round with a bunch of lil mini me's runnin' round your backyard swimmin pools'.
The last line was referring to Dupri's work with Lil Bow Wow, as Dupri helps the young rapper with his career.
