This fued goes way back. I think it started about 1995, when Eminem was handing out flyers for a party he was playing at. The flyer apprently said 'Appearance from ICP...maybe'. Violent J wasn't too happy about this and he told Eminem to 'f*ck off' and that he wouldn't play at his party. Read more about the IPC,

beef
Nelly
This feud is relatively old. Nelly started it when he appeared on MTV's "Total Request Live" about 3 years back. He sent out a number of disses and seemingly violent comments towards Em, reiterating his dislike for the Detroit Playa. Nelly said that Eminem was talking about Nelly behind his back, or so he heard. He then proceeded to say that Shady better not go on tour in St. Louis, Nelly's hometown, because the St. Lunatics would would make short work of them. He even goes on to say, that he "Eats m&ms". Eminem replied to Nelly's disses by releasing a song called "Detroit Grammar". However, I have also been told via an e-mail that Nelly phoned to apologize to Eminem after saying he eats M&M's, and this is the most likely reason for this beef stopping.

under the name of Bad Meets Evil. The team recorded such Hip-Hop classics
as the Slim Shady LP rack, Bad Meets Evil, Scary Movies and The One. Read more about the Royce da 5'9,
