Rap-Up Hip-Hop and R&B Music, News, Photos, Interviews, & Videos Swizz Beatz Reveals Why Pop Smoke Was Not Featured on DMX's Album https://www.rap-up.com/2021/05/28/swizz-beatz-pop-smoke-not-featured-dmx-exodus/ May 28th 2021, 19:17 DMX's posthumous album Exodus was released Friday featuring Alicia Keys, JAY-Z, Bono, and more. One guest who was noticeably absent was Pop Smoke, leaving fans to wonder what happened to his previously-announced feature. During an interview with the "Drink Champs" podcast earlier this year, X teased the collaboration with the late Brooklyn rapper, who was initially set to appear on "Money Money Money." However, Pop's verse didn't end up on the album for unknown reasons. Now Swizz reveals that it was cut because Pop's team gave his verse to someone else. "They used the verse already.

After going back and forth last year, the two are leaving the beef in the past. Their so-called feud started last July when Snoop omitted Em from his top 10 favorite rappers list, telling "The Breakfast Club" that he could "live without" the Detroit rapper's music. Em clapped back at Snoop for "doggin'" him on his Music to Be Murdered By: Side B cut "Zeus," prompting Snoop to respond, "Pray I don't answer that soft ass shit." But weeks later, Snoop revealed that the two were back on "good" terms, and now Eminem is addressing the status of their friendship. On the remix to "Killer" with Jack Harlow a...
