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. ”

“[after meeting Eminem for the first time] Goal list check: I told him Relapse was one of the greatest albums to me.”

” 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 being called Eminem’s favorite rapper] My hat’s always off to Eminem…Eminem, that’s my dude…I’ve run into him on many occasions. My hat’s off to the dude. ”

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

“ [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. ”

“ Em definitely influenced a lot in my style. I don’t think nobody’s matching him now. ”

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

“ 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. ”

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