He shared how Eminem’s album The Slim Shady LP was the first he bought, and now he’s on Em’s latest album, which pays tribute to the Slim Shady alter ego.
“Not gon hold you, Slim Shady LP was the first CD i bought wit my own money at Costco,” Sean wrote. “Me n Em bout 4 songs in now (DVE, No Favors, Detroit 2 cypher) but being on the Death Of Slim Shady is full circle. I aint know when i bought that, that id be one of the next 1’s out da city…”
He added: “Let alone even know Em. A reminder to myself of how real unrealistic really is.”
Eminem’s twelfth studio album is set to go live in less than two weeks. On Tuesday (June 2), he dropped the second single “Tobey” featuring Big Sean and BabyTron. The rap veteran asserts his dominance in the culture and addresses those who have questioned it, adding to the ongoing debate about the greatest rappers of all time.
“Ain’t feelin’ your top five favorite rappers/ So I know they ’bout to be pissed at me/ But this, to me, is a mystery/ How rappers I’ve already ripped could be/ Higher up on a list than me/ Yet here I sit on your list though at five (Hm), which still was fine/ But just know inside, to me, that shit’s hilarious,” he spits on the explosive track.
Shifting his focus to Melle Mel’s recent criticism of his place in Hip Hop, Em adds: “When I get dissed though and by a pioneer/ Who was one of the reasons why I am here/ They tell me I should just let that shit go and slide/ ‘Melle Mel shouldn’t get no reply’/ ‘That man is a legend,’ bitch, so am I.”
