Eminem

“ [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. ”

“ (on listening to Eminem’s delivery for the first time) It was like you were listening to a scientist. ”

“ (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. ”

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

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

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

“ 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. ”

“ [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. ”

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

“ 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. ”
