Definitely just growing up in general influenced me; Detroit happened to be where I was. I feel like the city definitely has made an impact on my life and made me who I am. Detroit has an unmistakable soul - nobody can duplicate the soul we bring to the game. From Motown to J Dilla to Eminem to anything.
If you actually understand and listen to what he's saying, there's no one that can compete with Eminem. That's why no one goes at Eminem because everybody knows Eminem is just, he's too good in a rap battle.
You know, I'm the 1st black solo MC from Detroit. I didn't do the 50 Cent sales but hey... I got a long career, I'm still young and I'm trying to bring really good music.
When I made 'Detroit vs. Everybody,' I knew. I knew this for Eminem.
Eminem was the biggest rapper in the world, but I didn't know Eminem and I didn't know anybody who knew Eminem.
Eminem is the greatest, ever.
An MC is somebody who can control the crowd. An MC is a master of ceremonies so not only can you say your rap, you can rock the party.
My thoughts on Eminem have always been that he is one of the greatest lyricists ever. I've never been a fan because I can't relate to a lot of his world views and experiences, but I acknowledge that he's one of the greatest MCs.
The MC that we love are usually the ones that we consider be kinda heartless, like 50 Cent. That's pretty much the prowess and power of an MC. That's what sells.
Much respect to Eminem - he's the greatest.
Eminem is one of the greatest rappers of all time.
I've never met Eminem; you don't meet Eminem. He has his own secret service.
It would be pretty awesome to hear Eminem singing 'I'm a Good Girl'. Haha! Love Eminem!
Eminem is more like a friend. And I'm also a fan on Eminem.
Even in this podcast media lane, sometimes you still have to wear your MC hat and let people know how you feel about yourself as an MC, which is very confident.
I just wanted to be the best MC. I wasn't about owning a Bentley. I wanted to be recognized as the illest MC.
