Producer and A&R man Dante Ross recalls how Eminem helped him out despite being on the different side on a beef.
Dante Ross worked with Everlast when Eminem went into a heated feud with a fellow white rapper. However, it did not affect Marshall’s decision when he was compiling a soundtrack for “8 mile”.
Macy Gray’s “Time of My Life” and Young Zee’s “That’s my Nigga fo’ Real”, both produced by Dante Ross, ended up on “8 Mile: Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture”.
Apparently, that was more important than just to tracks on a compilation, admitted Dante Ross in his birthday message to Eminem:
Cant say I know @Eminem but god bless that cat. I had 2 songs on the 8 mile soundtrack after he was beefing with my man Everlast. He could have shit on me. He didn’t. I ended up buying a house with the bread it helped me make. Big Up that man on his bornday
