Eminem

Marshall Mathers, known as Eminem or Slim Shady, is a rapper, songwriter, producer and starred in “8 Mile,” a movie based on his life that won an Oscar for Best Original Song. 

The Detroit native has long mentioned football in his songs, referencing Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, John Madden, LaDainian Tomlinson, field goals and more.

Eminem and Dr. Dre have a long history together, with Dre discovering Eminem after an early mixtape of his ended up in Dre’s hands.

Dr. Dre

Dr. Dre is known as a rapper, record producer, actor, entrepreneur and is the CEO of Aftermath Entertainment and Beats Electronics. He co-founded and co-owned Death Row Records.
