The Shady Records DJ was behind some impressive leaks, including Biggie’s verse for 50 Cent’s “Realest Niggas”. He was also in possession of Em’s unreleased material.
Whoo Kid cut an Eminem verse from a D12 song and released the tracklist for his upcoming mixtape where he planned to put this verse. He wanted to release the song a week before Em’s album came out, so “by the time the label figures it out, it’s out”, the DJ said in his interview with Mass Appeal in 2017. The label found out and stopped the leak.
This story cost him a ban from Detroit, personal attention from Paul Rosenberg, and threats from Jimmy Iovine. Now, however, DJ Whoo Kid works on Eminem’s radio station Shade45 and is on very good terms with Marshall. He even explained to him how he managed to get his hands on that D12 joint. That much the DJ revealed to Mike Tyson on Hotboxing:
I finally told Eminem yesterday how I leaked his song. I stole that shit from the office. I’ll give you a quick 101. I think I told Eminem personally this, but I never told nobody how we used to do it. So this is how we used to do it. It’s some Ocean’s 11 shit. We’d be outside the studio, at 4 am in the morning. We get information on who’s in the studio. Jay-Z, the whole clique is in there. So, we like hang out till 6-7, till they come out. When they come out, we go in. Usually, the engineer is getting like seven dollars an hour. It’s a bomb-ass nigga, he gets no money. So we would give them like $500, and they’ll give me all the sessions. They’ll give me not the song, but you hear like, “Jay-Z, yo, bring that back! Yo, fuck that, take this out”. Like, everything is in this session because he’ll record the whole shit. So then we come and take it we cypher through those DATs [Digital Audio Tapes]. Remember an old school DAT machine? We had this thing called the DAT machine, and the DAT really pans all the order. If you do a song, it pans your voice, and it pans your song. I learned that from DJ Clue because DJ Clue leaked “One More Chance”. The adrenaline rush of a guy like Biggie going on Hot 97 and talking about, “Who’s DJ Clue?! I’m gonna kill this motherfucker!” Every DJ dream was to be like Clue. He would have all the exclusives, but this is what we were doing.The post DJ Whoo Kid Explained to Eminem How He Leaked His Song first appeared on Eminem.Pro - the biggest and most trusted source of Eminem.
