Smack You

"Smack You" is a diss track by American rapper Eminem aimed at fellow rapper Ja Rule and record executive Suge Knight. Recorded c. 2003, it has never been officially released; it was leaked online on January 13, 2025, along with numerous other Eminem songs that month, and fans compiled them onto an unofficial album they titled Straight from the Lab 3. The track dates from a time when Eminem was actively feuding with Ja Rule, having become involved in 50 Cent's feud with Ja Rule after 50 Cent signed with Eminem's Shady Records in 2002. In the song, Eminem mocks Ja Rule for modeling himself after Tupac Shakur and for associating with Knight, joking that Knight was only interested in his publishing. He further alleges that Knight was responsible for Shakur's death, and for the murder of the Notorious B.I.G, prompting Knight's son Suge Jr. to respond on the track "Ocean Krwi" and to make a statement defending his father in March 2025. That same month, following an FBI investigation, a former studio employee of Eminem was charged in connection with the leaks.
