Eminem

“ He’s the fifth member of Slaughterhouse at this point. He’s putting in just as much work as we are, and I salute that all the way because he doesn’t have to obviously. ”

“ 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 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. ”

“ [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. ”

“Em deliver his words really, really well…That’s the thing that makes Em so special. He can do voiceovers. He can make his voice sound like a cartoon. He can do whatever he wants on a record.”

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

“ 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. ”

“ (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. ”

“ That would be a fan favorite if an MGK/Eminem song ever went down. Best rapper alive in my opinion. ”

“ 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. ”
