Eminem

“ 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. ”

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

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

“ 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. ”

“ Eminem is like the godfather of the hip hop game… Eminem has followers that’s gonna mess with him until the day he dies. ”

“ [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! ”

“ 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! ”

“ Why doesn’t he go to another country? I mean, go take a knee someplace else. ”

“ (on possibly collaborating with Eminem) Em, I promise you I been watching you for so long. I been a fan, so I wouldn’t even ask you to get on a record unless I felt like it was that record. I just want to get the record into your hands, then if you want to turn me down after that, then you can turn me down. ”
