In a night full of star-studded surprises, Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dogg reunited on stage in London, thrilling fans and celebrities alike. It was a performance for the ages, featuring unforgettable hits and a few unexpected moments.
Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre were already in London celebrating the U.K. launch of their Gin & Juice beverage. The excitement was palpable as Shaquille O’Neal introduced these rap giants to an eagerly awaiting crowd. They kicked off their set with ‘The Next Episode,’ ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot,’ and ‘Nuthin’ But a G Thang,’ setting the stage on fire.
The real bombshell came when Eminem made a brief but spectacular cameo. The crowd went wild as he performed his new single ‘Houdini,’ followed by a throwback to his and Dre’s 2001 classic ‘Forgot About Dre.’ This marked the first time in over two years that the trio had performed together on stage, the last being their groundbreaking Super Bowl Halftime Show in 2022. The excitement in the air was undeniable.
Among the amazed spectators was none other than LeBron James, who shared the experience with other stars like Idris Elba, Jude Bellingham, Anya Taylor-Joy, Virgin Van Dijk, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock. Cameras and smartphones were out, capturing every epic moment.
Eminem had already gained attention in London a few days earlier, promoting his controversial new album ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)’ at a pop-up event. Early projections suggest the album will debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, potentially dethroning Taylor Swift, who has held the top spot for 12 consecutive weeks.
With anticipated first-week sales between 270,000 and 290,000 units, this would mark Eminem’s 11th No. 1 album, putting him on par with icons like Kanye West and Bruce Springsteen. Only a few artists, including Drake, Swift, JAY-Z, and The Beatles, have managed more top-spot debuts.
This reunion was more than just a concert; it was a historic moment in hip-hop. Fans were treated to an electric performance, and the trio once again proved why they are legends in the industry.
