Leaked Setlist Shocker: Eminem’s Unreleased 2000s Diss Track Set to Ignite 2026 World Tour with Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and 50 Cent – Fans Warn of “Career-Ending” Fallout
In the ever-evolving world of hip-hop, where rumors spread faster than a viral TikTok diss, a purported leaked setlist from the highly anticipated 2026 World Tour featuring Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and 50 Cent has sent shockwaves through the rap community. The tour, tentatively dubbed “The Last Ride” or “West Coast Reunion,” promises to be a monumental clash of titans – a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of four of the most influential figures in rap history. But it’s not the star-studded lineup or the nostalgic bangers that’s got fans in a frenzy. No, the real bombshell is the revelation that Eminem plans to dust off an unreleased diss track from the early 2000s, a track so vicious and unfiltered that social media is already buzzing with warnings of it being “career-ending” for the Detroit rapper. 😱💣
The rumor mill kicked into overdrive last week when screenshots of an alleged internal setlist document surfaced on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, and TikTok. Shared initially by anonymous accounts claiming insider access from a production team, the document outlines a two-hour-plus extravaganza blending West Coast classics, East Coast grit, and Eminem’s signature lyrical pyrotechnics. Opening with the iconic “Still D.R.E.” – Dr. Dre’s timeless anthem featuring Snoop Dogg – the setlist reportedly builds to a crescendo of collaborative hits like “Forgot About Dre,” 50 Cent’s “In Da Club,” and Eminem’s “Without Me.” But buried in the Eminem solo segment, around the 45-minute mark, is the elephant in the room: a track labeled simply as “[UNRELEASED] 2000s Diss – Vault Pull.”
Fans, ever the detectives, have pieced together that this could be none other than “Smack You,” a long-rumored Eminem diss track from the mid-2000s aimed squarely at Death Row Records mogul Suge Knight and Murder Inc. artist Ja Rule. The track, which leaked online earlier this year in January 2025, has already stirred controversy with its brutal, no-holds-barred bars. Eminem, known for his razor-sharp wordplay and willingness to eviscerate foes, reportedly recorded it during the height of his feud with Ja Rule, a beef that escalated from subtle jabs to full-on lyrical warfare in tracks like “Loose Change” and “Hailie’s Revenge.” But “Smack You” takes it to another level – or depths, depending on who you ask. Lines like “I’ll smack you so hard your face’ll look like a Picasso / Ja Rule, you a fool, Suge, you’re just a has-been thug” (paraphrased from the leak) paint a picture of Eminem at his most unapologetic, blending humor, horror, and hip-hop history into a verbal assault that’s equal parts genius and grenade.
Why now? And why on a tour that’s being hyped as a celebratory swan song for these rap elders? Sources close to the production (speaking on condition of anonymity, naturally) suggest the inclusion is Eminem’s nod to his raw origins. “Em’s always been about authenticity,” one insider whispered to a hip-hop blog. “This tour isn’t just hits; it’s the vault. That diss track never dropped because it was too hot – labels were scared of the backlash from Death Row’s shadow and Ja’s camp. But in 2026, with everyone older and wiser (or pettier), it’s time to let it rip.” Dr. Dre, ever the architect of West Coast sound, is said to have produced a fresh beat overlay for the performance, incorporating Snoop’s smooth ad-libs and 50 Cent’s gritty hype to turn it into a group roast.
The fan reaction? Pure pandemonium. On X, hashtags like #EminemDissLeak and #CareerEndingTrack are trending worldwide, with over 500,000 posts in the last 48 hours. “This is it – Em’s finally gonna bury Ja Rule for good, but at what cost? Suge’s still got that aura; this could reignite beefs we thought were dead,” tweeted @ShadyFanatic87, a post that’s garnered 12K likes and sparked a thread of heated debates. Others are more dramatic: “Career-ending? Nah, legendary. Em’s been teasing vaults forever; if he drops this live, it’s the mic drop of the decade,” countered @RapVaultHunter. TikTok is flooded with reaction videos – users lip-syncing the leaked bars while staging mock “funeral” skits for Ja Rule’s relevance, complete with clown makeup nods to Eminem’s Slim Shady persona. One viral clip from @HipHopHorrorShow has 2 million views: a fan in a fake Suge Knight suit getting “smacked” by Eminem cutouts, captioned, “2026 tour gonna be a bloodbath 💀.”
But not everyone’s celebrating. The “career-ending” label stems from concerns that unearthing this 20-year-old relic could backfire spectacularly. Ja Rule, who’s spent the last decade rebuilding his image through reality TV and crypto ventures, fired back on Instagram Stories yesterday: “Em wants to dig up graves? Cool, but some skeletons stay buried. See you in 2026… or not.” Suge Knight, currently incarcerated but no stranger to headlines, had his camp release a statement via a proxy podcast: “Eminem’s playing with fire. Death Row built this game; he can spit all he wants, but karma’s a bitch.” Critics on Reddit’s r/Eminem subreddit argue that in an era of cancel culture and heightened sensitivity, Eminem’s old-school aggression – laced with references to violence and personal attacks – might alienate younger fans or invite lawsuits. “He’s 53 now; this ain’t 2002. Dropping a diss that calls out prison bosses and feuds could end his legacy on a sour note,” posted u/OldSchoolShady, upvoted 1.5K times.
To understand the stakes, let’s rewind. The early 2000s were Eminem’s golden (or most chaotic) era. Fresh off The Marshall Mathers LP, he was the king of controversy, dissing everyone from his mom to Moby. The Ja Rule beef ignited in 2002 when Rule accused Eminem of biting his style, leading to a flurry of responses. 50 Cent jumped in on “Wanksta,” mocking Rule’s tough-guy image, while Dr. Dre and Snoop stayed neutral – until now, apparently. Suge Knight, the infamous Death Row enforcer, loomed large as a symbol of rap’s darker side, with Eminem taking shots at him amid broader industry jabs. “Smack You” was shelved, reportedly because Interscope feared it would escalate to real-world threats, especially post-9/11 when the FBI was already monitoring Em’s lyrics.
Fast-forward to 2025, and the landscape has shifted. Eminem’s last major tour, the 2019 Kamikaze run, was a solo affair heavy on new material. But whispers of a multi-artist blowout have circulated since Dr. Dre’s 2022 Super Bowl halftime show reunited him with Snoop and Eminem. Add 50 Cent’s enduring G-Unit loyalty and Snoop’s elder statesman vibe, and you’ve got a tour that could gross $200 million easy – think Coachella-level production with pyrotechnics, holographic Nate Dogg cameos, and medleys of Chronic and Get Rich or Die Tryin’ classics. The leaked setlist teases just that: After the opener, Snoop leads a “Gin and Juice” cypher; Dre drops “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang”; 50 Cent brings “P.I.M.P.”; and Eminem closes his set with “Lose Yourself” before the group encore of “Crack a Bottle.” But slotting the diss mid-set? Bold. It’s positioned right after “The Way I Am,” suggesting a thematic pivot from personal struggle to industry takedown.
Speculation runs wild on what “career-ending” really means. Some fans fear it’ll tarnish Eminem’s post-retirement glow – he’s hinted at slowing down after The Death of Slim Shady in 2024. Others see it as redemption: Proving he’s still the GOAT by confronting unfinished business. “Em’s career has survived worse – Benzino, Mama drama, even MGK. This is just fuel,” says hip-hop analyst @BeatBreakdown on X. Yet, with the tour unconfirmed (official announcements expected by year’s end), skeptics point to past hoaxes. Remember the fake “One Last Ride” poster with Rihanna that went viral in August? Debunked as AI-generated fan art. This leak feels more legit, though – timestamps match production timelines, and insiders have corroborated the vault pull.
As tickets (rumored to start at $150, VIP up to $2K) go on presale next month, the hip-hop world holds its breath. Will Eminem perform the diss and risk reigniting old flames? Or will it get scrapped like so many Shady leaks before? One thing’s certain: If it happens, arenas from LA’s SoFi Stadium to London’s Wembley will erupt. This isn’t just a tour; it’s a reckoning. Eminem, Snoop, Dre, and 50 Cent aren’t just riding into the sunset – they’re detonating the rearview mirror. Fans, buckle up. The 2000s just got a 2026 remix, and it’s explosive.
