Eminem

“ Marshall is the type that never really stops recording, so when you get in the studio he’s in the back room where the booth is and the door is locked. Nobody’s allowed back there, nobody ever knows what he’s doing. All I know is that he’s constantly working, so if he told me that he had an album ready right now, I would believe him because he’s like a work horse. He works every day. ”

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

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

“ 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. ”

“ 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.’ ”

“ Nobody’s gonna be bigger than Eminem. ”

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

“ (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. ”

“ When Eminem was on Jay-Z’s song, he fucked cuz up on that record! You know what record I’m talking about. He fucked him up on that record completely. Like, damn! ”

“ [after being asked if he’d ever do a track with Eminem] I’m not fin to go in there fuckin’ with that white boy, man! ”
