Eminem

“ [Eminem] overcoming his own adversities, winning the battle against his own demons and continuing to break the mold and re-set the standard of what it means to be the most successful hip-hop artist in the game…I salute that to no end. ”

“ There’s always been white rappers. It’s nothing new under the sun. There’s only been one with worldwide success and last long. You know who that is—Marshall. ”

“ For somebody to keep their cool, as stressful as the everyday world is, and then try to take on the responsibilities of being a public figure and having all the hardships he’s had to deal with and to have him still come out the beautiful human being he is, there’s nothing else to say but ‘Bravo.’ ”

“ That nigga’s damn-near like the best rapper out here when it comes to technique, technical rhyming, wordplay, and shit like that. ”

“ He really helped me out a lot…Getting on a record with Em definitely pushes you to get your chops up. ”

“ I’d love to work with Eminem. It just hasn’t happened yet. ”

“ We went on a Desire [on Pink Friday] and put it in the air like, ‘It’d be great if he would collaborate with us.’ I remember I kept talking about it, and I thought, ‘It can’t hurt.’ I sent him one record, and he didn’t love it. He didn’t say, ‘I don’t love it,’ he just said, ‘Can you send me something that’s a little more me?’ I sent him an e-mail and thanked him for that, just having enough respect. Sometimes people don’t respond. He had the respect, at least, to treat me like a peer. ”

“ [on battling other rappers] I can’t fuck with Eminem, but I got everybody else covered. ”

“ [on meeting Eminem for the first time] To be real, that was, like, the only time I’ve ever been low-key. I was really smiley. I was like, ‘Whoa, that’s Eminem,’ you know? ”

“ I want you to make some noise for the greatest of all time, Eminem! ”
