Eminem

 “ I can’t forget the fact that that boy Eminem is incredible. He’s lyrically incredible. Anybody that’s ever sat and fronted on this dude’s talent is, like, come on, man. Stop playing me. ”

“ One thing that been with me is that Eminem is not to be fucked with ever in hip-hop, ever. ”

“ If you notice, out of everybody I ever took a shot at, that’s the only person that is untouched. He’s in a bubble and you don’t even say nothing to Eminem, and to anybody that ever does, God bless you and your career. ”

“ [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? ”

“ Eminem, he was the one I wanted to be like when I heard his music. I’m like, ‘Man, this dude, I relate to him a lot.’ He was my role model. That was the rapper that stood out more than any other rapper in the rap game. I didn’t even like rap that much until he came in the scene. ”

“Em deliver his words really, really well…That’s the thing that makes Em so special. He can do voiceovers. He can make his voice sound like a cartoon. He can do whatever he wants on a record.”

” Em has a faith following and they ain’t gonna turn their backs on him. He’s gonna shine on the darkest day…I feel like his music is getting more and more powerful. The messages are bigger. ”

“ (on Recovery) I thought I wasn’t gonna like it, because ni**as was saying’, ‘Yo, it’s rock, and this and that.’ But that shit was hard…I think lyrically he’s back to where he was. That’s what I got from the album. ”

“ [speaking from prison] Em is him, and he’s back in a dominant way. As far as Eminem the dude, he’s a great dude. He’s been keeping up with me since I’ve been in here, and I appreciate his support. ”

“ I don’t know if I’m on his radar yet, but I used to hang Eminem’s raps on my wall. ”

“ Eminem is tough, man. I don’t care what color he is. I don’t care about none of that. Real artists respect real artists, man… I tell people to this day. If Em was black, he’d be the next Muhammad Ali, man. ”
