There is little known about the group's releases, although there is one single called ''F@#!in' Backstabber'', with a song called ''Biterphobia'' on the b-side. This was released in 1995 on Mashin' Duck Records. The group did not have a lot of money to spend on production, so the two tracks are built primarily on Samples of other recordings, particularly ''F@#!in' Backstabber''. The single's title track is a " Diss " aimed at an African American rapper called Champtown, who was also from Detroit. M&M had collaborated with the rapper, and even featured in one of his Music Video s, but found out that Champtown was actually trying to get with his girlfriend Kim , behind his back (supposedly), which caused him to make this track. It features samples from The Pharcyde 's '' On The D.L., '' amongst a variety of samples from instruments, including Piano s and Saxophone s, and is set to a typical Rock Drum-beat . ''Biterphobia'' is quite different. Some people believe this is one of Eminem's best songs, and think that he has not improved with fame. The track is quite upbeat, with very well written lyrics and impressive production. There is some Scratching which works well in the song, and the whole track is built around a guitar sample from '' Heaven On Their Minds '', taken from the motion picture Jesus Christ Superstar , which really fits perfectly. The original tape was pressed in very small numbers, and has been auctioned on EBay , selling for around $ 700, because it is so rare. Since the mid '90s, the group has split up and Eminem and Proof no longer work with DJ Butterfingers. In 1997, Eminem made a demo tape with The Funky Bass Team (F.B.T.), called '' The Slim Shady EP ''. This tape eventually ended up in the hands of gangster-rap producer Dr. Dre . Dre was so impressed by Eminem's lyrical talent that he tracked him down and had Eminem flown to California . In the studio where Eminem worked with Dr. Dre, there was a Detroit rapper called Royce Da 5'9" . Eminem and Royce formed a duo, which they called Bad Meets Evil. Bad Meets Evil made about 8 different songs. Proof was also part of Detroit a group called 5 Elementz, which became 5-Ela. 5-Ela consisted of himself, Mudd, and Thyme. Thyme featured on Eminem's debut album '' Infinite ''. 5-Ela have appeared on several tracks and have 3 albums of their own. Proof is also in a duo called Promatic, which consists of himself and a Detroit rapper named Dogmatic, (Pro of Proof and matic of Dogmatic). They have appeared on different albums and have an album of their own, entitled Promatic. Eminem was also in a group called The Outsidaz, a New Jersey rap group, and appeared on their debut EP Night Life, but they have since split up, and Eminem is involved in a feud with one of the members. He was also in a group called Bassmint Productions. Eminem and Proof worked together in the popular hip-hop group D-12 until Proof's death on April 11 , 2006 . |
