Today in Hip-Hop History: Eminem Battles Kuniva at Detroit’s Hip-Hop Shop 24 Years Ago

On this date in 1996, Detroit natives Eminem and Kuniva bumped heads on the microphone at Motown’s famous Hip-Hop Shop, where late D12 member Proof used to host battles in the mid to late 90s.

In his regular undefeated fashion, Mr. Mathers delivered bar after bar, which equated to blow after blow in his win against Kuniva. The brotherhood underneath what appeared to be real beef resulted in Kuniva being one of the members of Shady Records’ premiere group D12.

Eminem might be mellowing out just a taste in his later years, but he’s still very much a strong lyricist and fierce microphone competitor when he wants to be. Fresh off of getting featured on a new single with Logic, Slim Shady called out comedian Chris D’Elia over his hilarious impersonation of the Detroit superstar.

Via a tweet promoting the new single “Homicide” with Maryland native Logic, Slim Shady made a proper call out to D’Elia.

“Me and @chrisdelia are gonna battle one day,” Em wrote, tagging Logic in a tweet that featured a snippet of the track, which also features D’Elia’s mock freestyle at the end.

This appears to be all fun and games, this after Em praised D’Elia’s impersonation earlier this year via Twitter. D’Elia was stoked to be a part of the record and to accept the battle as evidenced by the Instagram posts below.
