Senaste dagarna har Eminem varit flitig besökare på TV-shower och radioprogram inför biopremiären av “Den Of Thieves” där han bland annat syns med Ice Cubes son, O’Shea Jackson Jr.
Vid ett besök på radioshowen “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” avslöjade 50 Cent att Eminem faktiskt påverkas av den kritik som riktas mot hans musik. Efter releasen av “Relapse” 2009 planerades en uppföljare, “Relapse 2”, som aldrig släpptes för allmänhetens öron. I intervjun beskriver Curtis Jackson hur hans Detroit-vän påverkas:
“Being criticized about the music actually effects him. We had a whole other album when he did Relapse. He didn’t like the response so he didn’t even put out the whole Relapse 2. So it’s like, if he doesn’t like the response, he can change it.”
50 Cent fortsatte med att kritisera hur ombytliga och oförstående fans är för Eminems utveckling:
“I never heard a new rnb singer come out and say Prince wasn’t hot. The new guys should pay homage to Em. He’s a big part of why we grew as fast as we grew.”
Nyligen bemötte Marshall Mathers kritik för “Revival”, där han på “Chloraseptic Remix” säger:
“But am I s’posed to sound like everything else out?
‘Cause I don’t get compared to it, only myself now
And I can see the fair-weather fans and sales down
But the only way I care is if I let myself down
But what the fuck have I woke to?
Time to eat the vocals and shit out Pro Tools
I know you still want me to ill out, don’t you?
Hopin’ the old Slim’s gonna spill out, open
Fire on your whole camp with this spit, I roast you
So chill out, no, you
Hoes couldn’t roast me with the shit I wrote you
Then I took a stand, went at Tan-Face and practically cut my motherfuckin’ fan base in half and still outsold you
You just called my shit trash?
Thank God, I rap better when the odds are stacked
“Revival’s wack, I don’t like the ‘Zombie’ track
And when he’s talkin’ that garbage psychotic crap
Where’s your content at?
What’s with all the conscious rap?
P!nk, Beyoncé this and Kehlani that” (yeah!)
I just added to the fuel in my rocket pack
‘Til I’m ready to respond, then I’ma launch it at ’em
Idiotic from the fuckin’ embryonic sac
To the body bag, I’ll be back
And when I am, I’ll be at your fuckin’ throat like…”
