During a promotional run in Europe for Recovery, Eminem stopped by Sky Rock radio in Paris yesterday and briefly spoke on the album’s guest features.
As the lone rapper, Eminem explained why he chose to add Lil Wayne to his latest release. “I’ve always respected what Wayne does. Wayne to me is definitely one of the greatest in the game right now.” Concerning R&B’s biggest pop star, Eminem stated “Love The Way You Lie” is “one of those tracks that I felt like only [Rihanna] could pull it off.”
While some may have been surprised by Pink making an appearance on Recovery, the Detroit emcee said her addition was made after “Won’t Back Down” was completed. “I laid my parts first and kinda heard her on the record,” he explained. “I felt like she would smash this record, so I gave her a call and she was with it, so we did it.”
Recovery will be released June 22 through Shady/Aftermath/Interscope Records.
In other news, Gym Class Heroes member Travie McCoy has hit the road to promote the release of his solo debut disc Lazarus with the “Too Fast For Love Tour.”
With a Los Angeles performance already completed, McCoy will also be visiting Dallas, Atlanta and Orlando with tour line-up Cobra Starship, 3OH!3 and I Fight Dragons. Travie McCoy’s Lazarus will be released on June 8.

Em is just dickriding Lil Wayne in his prime/hype to braoden his fanbase and expose his music to more ears
and to stay relevant with the new generation
It’s a smart tactic used mainly by Jay-z(who collabarates with every new hot rapper!)
By the way name a commercial non-legend rapper better than Lil Wayne
TI? Young Jeezy?
Hell Nah!
Kanye is the best non-legend commercial rapper
Lil wayne is just a better lyricist
Listen “Hit em up” of fThe Carter 2
Dude has good punchlines and skillful metaphors
Yes
He’s nowhere near the best overall
alot of rappers are wayyyyyyy more talented underground
But being the best/greatest commercially he ain’t far off
Carter 3 was a pop album but you CANNOT HATE ON THE CARTER 2
shit is lyrical bannans!
Really? Expose his music to more listeners by using Lil Wayne?
Commercial non-legend? What does that even mean? Im not trying to poke fun, but some of this is ridiculous.
He means that Eminem is losing his logevity in the game, which is true. He’s been losing fans since Encore. And as for “Commercial Non-Legend”, he means that the only mainstream artists that people heavily listen to are those that have achieved legendary status among the mainstream. Kanye West isn’t a legend, but he’s damn good at what he does. Meanwhile most mainstream rappers last 2 albums and are gone without a trace. Who remembers Hurricane Chris?
why are all of you talkin shit like you know how shit works with fans and in the industry. maybe em wanted to just have a song with lil wayne on his album. as long as the music is good who really gives a fuck

@ Malcolm ecks
Dont take this comment as beef or summin, I just question your statements validity
If Em is losing so many fans, then how come he had the best selling rap album last year, even after so many critics shitted on it and it leaked about a month before its release??………Just a question bruh, another might be why his single shot straight to number 1 and is just about platinum from Itunes sales alone??……Em’s career is fine, and for a 10 year veteran, its doing incredible, only other MC with such success after so long would be Jay-Z
You know your career is doin fine when the world collectively gives your album the thumbs down review and it still goes Double….Like I said though, no beef, but cats act like just cause they dont hear Em on the radio that he aint relevant, when the truth is he outsold every rapper who released an album last year
nicca t.i shits all over wack ass wayne
always respected what Wayne does. Wayne to me is definitely one of the greatest in the game right now.â€
nuff said for me
no em fan here
1-eminem is scared of lil wayne! (for protection)
2-eminem can’t sell without lil wayne!
3-when jay nas dre and all other old niggaz are riding lil wayne’s! dick so why not eminem.
4-lil wayne! is number 1 so having him on his album means introducing eminem to gangstas and new generation.
5-eminem’s albums were on some crack,rape,family stuffs…he wants his new album to be gangsta and what’s better than having a well known blood on ur album.
6-producers respect lil wayne! and give him best beats for less $…
anybody who says eminem is better than lil wayne! should just shut the fuck up,the white bitch said it,he admitted that lil wayne! is better than him and he’s a fan of lil wayne!
im a lil wayne! fan and eminem is lil wayne! fan..ur eminem fan so if u could calculate:
ur my fan
lil wayne! is da greatest of all da time fuck haters
WHAT AN IDIOT. LIL WAYNE HIMSELF SAID HE CANT FUCK WITH EM
your hilarious man, dont quit you day job
1. Did’nt lil wayne beg like a bitch to be on a track with eminem on multiple ocassions? Yes
2. Did’nt eminem murder lil wayne on the track they finally did? Yes
3. Did Relapse sell more than Rebirth and We are young money combined? Yes
4. Did the first single of recoery sell? Yes it went straight to number 1
I dont know what your thinking but these fact illustrate to me that eminem is better than lil wayne. What he said is that he respects what lil wayne does and lil wayne respects what eminem does.
He never said that he thinks lil wayne is better than him according to my reading but maybe you read it diferently.
As for lil wayne being the best of all time i think you may be a bit delusional.
And just in case people think that im hating on lil wayne im not because i do think that lil wayne is a great artist and have bought many of his albums but i had to respond to your comment because it is the biggest load of hating crap that ive ever seen in my opinion.
i dont know what to say but.. dude you a faggot man damn
If I said it once, I said it a million times……DO NOT GIVE HANDYYYYY THE SATISFACTION OF AN ARGUMENT
He does this everywhere, the post could be about a person being sent to prison and that idiot would be like “THEY ONLY GOT CAUGHT SO THEY COULD MEET LIL WAYNE THE
lol you wanna have a vote on it? Wayne would lose every time…
you nigga are official members of the handyyy club dumb azz nicca replying an shit lmbao
Thats a stupid comment, Em has the highest selling album last year, and the most albums this decade. Over 80 mil.
Lil Wayne is no gangster!! He’s been signed since he was a little kid, when did he have time to be a gangster, when he was 10 years old?!?!?
And I bet you Em’s new album is not going to be “Gangsta” wtf
Rebirth is yet to go Platinum and its been out for months! Em sold more Relapse album’s in its 1st week than Rebirth has sold so far! And even Em admitted the album was not that good.
are you feeeling okay?
are you feeeling okay?
wow your comment has made me like two percent retarded now. thanks idiot.
wayne is dope but he’s not fucking wit Shady, ur talking reckless, is dat why wen da CARTER 3 was about ta come out Wayne was BEGGING, BEGGING Eminem ta get on it and Shady still turned his ass down, and producers don’t respect Wayne, producers sue his ass left and right, read up on Bangladesh and Jim Jonsin who both gave Wayne his biggest hits and he fucked dem over n didn’t pay dem, Wayne is dope but he has sum fucked up morals and he’s not fucking wit SHADY
LOL…
6-producers respect lil wayne! and give him best beats for less $…
im pretty sure i was just reading the otherday that bangledesh was no longer fucking with young money because he hasn’t gotten royalties from A Milli
the producer for ‘got money’ was saying the same thing and im pretty sure there’s about 5 other producers on that list.
Are you guys forgetting that Lil Wayne fucking begged eminem to be on his album, that little bitch wayne threw a hissy fit that eminem wouldnt work with him
I’m glad Em respects what Wayne does, but that doesn’t mean that em isn’t gonna shit on Wayne for the 3rd time in a row on a song.
man can yall stop hating on wayne.. foreal.. that nigga is a machine… i remember yall saying eminem won’t work with wayne because hes wack nshit… well NOW the only rapper on EMINEM’S ALBUM IS LIL WAYNE… cant yall just respect that… now tell me eminem doesn’t know what hip hop…
cant wait for recovery.. oh yeah i agree with em 100%
hahaha @ some of the comments… eminem doesn’t need lil wayne to sell stupid n—z.. man lil wayne is on his album because HES F-CKING DOPE… GET THE F OVER IT…
Eminem needs to stop working with that talentless piece of filth. 90’s Em would’ve probably beefed with him
AGREEEED!!! Slim is a softy now.

Wayne is not gangster. He’s been on tv doing music since he was 14. So at point of his life was he doing gangster shit?

i swear hip hop got the dumbest, bitch made, fans, on planet earth.
10 years ago, hip hop heads had the brain power to dissect the music.
these fuckin half fag kids point to sales history like a fuckin label head, like they getting paid off it.
eminem sold his records. aint no one ever matching what he was doin ALIVE in hip hop ever again. times are different. everyone with a functional brain seems to know this.
its the half fag, fatherless, bitch made niggas, talkin up sales and radio spins like its relevant.
marshall mathers LP sold 20 mill, em did his numbers.
same niggas that hate on 50. 50 went diamond on gangsta rap, but yall rather bring up the flops.
fuckin girl scouts man.
yall think celine dion fans talk like this?
“celine dion cant fuck with striesand, look at the numbers!”
young money crack babies watchin the view talkin numbers when yall broke as shit eatin leftovers 5 nights a week. eat a dick and croak for real.
Waynes ass, just cause the “new” Em cosigns him dont mean SQUAT to me, dude is hot garbage. I’m a whiteboy, you wanna know who buys his muisc??? KIDS FROM THE SUBURBS, WHITE GIRLS, MY MOM listens to his trash
Waynes ass, just cause the “new” Em cosigns him dont mean SQUAT to me, dude is hot garbage. I’m a whiteboy, you wanna know who buys his muisc??? KIDS FROM THE SUBURBS, WHITE GIRLS, MY MOM listens to his trash, hip hop is so lame now, n this is proof.
@kush nap….Hahaha daaammn. I couldn’t have said it better.
LMAO @
“celine dion cant fuck with striesand, look at the numbers!”
Truest shit ever wrote
Eminem has more money than every bum ass artist on young money will ever get. With that being said Kill Yourself.
Im a fan of Eminem, Im also a fan of Wayne but dude Eminem is the best selling rap artist of all time so trying to say Wayne has better numbers is fucking retarded. Wayne will never catch that. I respect what Wayne does I like quite a bit of his music but your riding a dick if you think Wayne can out spit Em. And on Forever no one came close to Eminem on that track (neither did Wayne on Drop The World) I mean lisen to Renagade where Eminem absolutly murders Jay Z on his own shit as Nas said. Wayne could never spit something like that on his best day.
Waynes spittin “my mind shines even when my thoughts seem dark, pistol on my side u dont wanna hear that thing talk”
Em’s spittin “You dealin’ with a few true villains
Whose stand inside of the booth truth spillin’
And spit true feelings, until our tooth fillings come flying up out of our mouths
Now rewind it!”
Em can retire right now and no one in hip hop will ever catch his numbers. Not now, not ever. Wayne can put out 20 more The Carters and never catch Em.
Mad dissapointed in Em. The old Em woulda SERVED this one. Prolly shoot him a hot 16 of all the reasons of why his LAME for this. The grittyness of hip hop is slowly fading, these new jacks are screwin’ it up, N YES I’M TALKING TO YOU FANS AND BLOGGERS!
em woulda killed it on his own, but its good that he got ppl wit him

What the hell did you even say?
Wow, you wanna talk numbers. Slim Shady LP 6 million Marshall Mathers LP 20 million The Eminem Show 19 million Encore 11 million
The Carter III 3 million
Good fucking job you reject. Ill admit that relapse was a drop off but dude give some fucking backing to your arguments. How can you possibly say that wayne is killing shit right now? Did you not even listen to Forever or drop the world. Granted, drop the world wasnt supposed to show off waynes rapping ability which he does not have, but anyone who listened to that song listened to it for eminem. But on forever, if you honestly believe that wayne killed em on that song, please let me know, and I will break down both their verses for you and gladly prove you wrong. I know em is collabing with him and that em respects his work, but im pretty sure thats because there is zero talent in rap right now.
JJ, I agree with both your comments. Em is not even competing against hip hop. Dude’s numbers are on some Beatles shit.
And GP, thats one long sentence you got there.
Wowwwwwwwwwww!!!Recently, I came across a hot dating and friends club.
–**Blackmilitaryfriends.com**–
It’s a cool site caters to all men and women in the military or retired from the military seeking love and friendship. There are many single members of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Coast Guard, Police Force, and Firefighters — as well as civilians, veterans.
Me and my aireforce boyfriend also meet there 1 year ago. We are now happily married. Check it out, you are also destined to meet your Mr or Mrs Right or good friends there.
Hmm… I just searched the internet for eminem news and I came up with this and I’m thinking to myself “good for eminem to finally put aside all the fighting and beefing and just make music” but then I read the comments and see that everyone is hating on eachother and I think to myself “why”. well It is not my business but just to clear some shit, lil wayne is dope and eminem is the best. END OF STORY.
dont hate on this comment.
For everyone comparing Em and Wayne’s numbers… you can’t…the music industry is entirely different now then when it was for the Em Show and MMLP. Records don’t sell anymore. Carter 3 could have possibly done those numbers back then we don’t know. But if anyone has any doubt that Em is the motherfrickin man you are an idiot. I think Wayne is amazing too but i can understand how you might question that. Wayne likes to do his own thing and he has Baby pushing him to make that money…Baby is only interested in money. Eminem doesn’t give a damn about money. Thats gonna equal opposite results.
cut the dumb shit my g music is these dudes 9 to 5 its all about money
