While fans wait for Kendrick Lamar’s good kid, m.A.A.d city, the Compton emcee has had to field many questions about who will be on the album. In a recent interview with Mr. Peter Parker, another question on the subject came up. This time, Lamar was asked if Eminem would be on the disc and if he admired Eminem.
When asked if Em is “the greatest,” Lamar shared that he felt no one could equal Slim.
“I don’t think nobody’s matching him now,” he said after calling Em a “genius.”
He went on to add that Shady influenced him greatly.
“Em definitely influenced a lot in my style.”
However, that doesn’t mean a track is in the works. Lamar shared that there is currently no song featuring Eminem but that he would want to collaborate.
“Not for sure, yet,” he said about Eminem being featured on the album. “I definitely would want him on the album. It’d be crazy.”
When asked to speak about Los Angeles, K. Dot explained that there is some “positive light” shining on the city.
“I think the positive light that we’ve got now is probably just the music that’s going on. It’s a great energy that’s going back to the kids. They’re starting to get more in tune and positive with that so I’m gonna constantly continue to build on that.”
The full Q&A can be seen below.
Enogh with this nigga already. Go work with Lady Gaga, bitch nigga with boring ass flow. Jay Rock is the real west coast nigga.
Boring ass flow? Ya mean that seriously??? Check “Look Out For Detox” & STFU bitch nigga!
Kendrick has reached his limit of pre-album appeal. Now drop that thing ad lets move on. Too much talking. too many interviews.
^uh no, he doesn’t have to do shit. no limit for him. if you’re tired of it, you stop clicking on his shit.
em’s wack wayne shits on him end of story.
but wayne doesnt know how to rap
of course he did, i mean “swimming pool (Drank)” sounds exactly like “just lose it” o.o
… Clean out your scruffy dirt ridding ears.
you idiots dont understand sarcasam??
Here comes the Eminem haters…
Em’s a genius. Right. Genius who got away with the biggest heist in Hip Hop history: jacking Masta Ace’s flow. This dude jacked Masta Ace’s flow, added some depressed white boy shit on top and went on to sell millions of records… and not a single Hip Hop head raised eye brows… now this dude is here calling him a “genius”. Hah!
This nigga reachin’. Ace said it himself…
https://hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.17001/title.masta-ace-talks-eminem-comparisons
And you could say that about any artist…artists get inspired by other artists so they may sound similar in certain situations.
cole world aka andres vasquez- way to pull up that article from a year ago.. lol.. kinda blew your cover bruh
Every week there’s an article on here about who influenced him and each article is a different person spotlighted. Kendrick has flow but stop piece mealing and just go ahead and say everyone influenced you and call it a day. This is getting redundant for real. Just my opinion.
K.Dot x Eminem would be awesome..
Y’all talking about Em biting Ace’s flow.. stop it. Every artist developed their flow by listening to those before them. Jay was influenced by BIG, it’s clear BUT they also have their own spin on it.. making it theirs. Chill the fuck out, unless they sound EXACTLY the same on every song drop it.. EM brings too many different elements to call him a biter.
^^^THIS
How so? Jay was out before Biggie. Buzz since 89, he just took forever to drop his first album.
Just cause he was “out” before doesn’t mean he wasn’t influenced. Either way they were both sons of Big daddy. rhyme styles are like fighting styles.
You saying Jay doesn’t pull BIG flows? You’re trying to tell me Jay wasn’t influenced by BIG?? You must not have listened to either.. Jay still quoting BIG bars to this day.
The fact and point is.. Eminem has been in the game long enough now he is in their position and is influencing new artists the same way Pac, Big, Ace, Pun, Big L, LL, Tribe and many others did before him.. You can’t help but be influenced by what you listen to and enjoy. /end
Jay’s flow is Jaz O’s and Nas flow, what he got from Biggie is Ughh!, his subject matter and image. I guess he made all work for him.
People may not feel the quote-on-quote “New” style of “EMINEM”
But TRUST me. . . . EVERYBODY in the industry KNOWS who “EMINEM” IS and how can get “BUSY” on the Mic. He’s “Top Dawg” in the industry.
No pun intended.
“No pun intended”
Yes you did intend the pun, read your comment you put Top Dawg (Spelt the same way as the TDE label) in quote marks.
Eminem number 1
I like Kendric
K.Dot is the best rapper alive. know that.
lol he’s dope, but not best alive.
of course hes a genius hes just not making good music any more and soon K.dot will be right beside him making the whack
if kendrick does a lady gaga collab im out
And what if it turns out to be dope?
@^^^^ You can’t explain logic to these dumbfucks…
hiipower- reading these comments, you get my respect my dude.. one of the only peeps i see taking actual sense on here, and not little kid bullshit games…
Both of them most overrated rappers ever.
I actually think Jay-Z’s the most overrated rapper of all time.
^ Kanye Kendrick Jay Eminem…all of them are overrated
All 3 of y’all have no idea what you are talking about.
jay and em are not overrated.. both are obviously super talented and have legend status if they never dropped another bar… i dont get people commenting obviously false statements for shits and giggles.. the internet lets anybody say anything i guess… smh
both wack rappers! Kendrick is a pop star and Feminem is a gay cracka. Lil Wayne is da best. YMCMB all day err day. swag
Kill yourself.
Kendrick’s style is dope I can see how Eminem influenced his Steelo. . . Kiid got’s a long Music Career ahead of him. . . Can’t hate if he goes commercial in the decade to come. . . Most Big Artist go that route eventually to Ca$h in. . . It is what it is. . . . Peace and Respect to the Dude. . . http://www.chinkyeyed.com

People don’t really get what “going commercial” means, I mean albums like The Marshall Mathers LP, The Slim Shady LP, The Blueprint, The College Dropout, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Stankonia etc. all commercial albums. Commercial isn’t a sound.
i like Kendrick but i don’t think he’s going to be some big rap superstar who takes over the pop charts like Em, 50, Jay-Z, and others did. i don’t think he has the style or personality that appeals to a lot of different demographics and a lot of the music i’ve heard isn’t easily accessible.
True rap music was never meant to take over the pop charts.
“True rap music was never meant to take over the pop charts.”
But it’s done it and done it while sounding good.
A little while back he said he doesn’t want to collab with Eminem…now as his singles aren’t gaining buzz he wants to collab with Em and make a pop single….this guy is just as mainstream as everyone
Mainstream isn’t a sound… The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, ATLiens, The Chronic, Me Against the World, Aquemini etc. are ALL “Mainstream” doesn’t stop them being extremely dope!
Nigga been kissing a lot of rappers’ asses nowadays.
I know you like to picture homosexuality when ever it could come up, but it’s actually called respect. Also Kendrick get’s asked about Em and gives his honest opinion, what do you expect him to do? Tell the interviewer to move on to the next question without giving an answer? GTFOH.
KENDRICK = GOT NEXT 2013…
That would be dope if Kendrick and Em collaborated. But Kendrick should focus on collab’ing with another up and comer who can match lyrics and flow like YOUR BOY FOR LIFE. Now that would be ILL AF!
^^ WORD! YOUR BOY FOR LIFE IS A BEAST!
kendrick and your boy for life should do a mixtape together tho.
a song, mixtape, an album..ANYTHING WITH THEM 2 WOULD BE OFFICIAL!
now if only it wasnt the same person using four differnt names…
K Dot would murder Em. This boy is a fool. He would get in Crooked I’s ass too. Crooked I likes to use muliti’s all the damn time.
Are you living vicariously through Kendrick because even if Kendrick could “murder” Eminem on a track or “get in Crooked I’s ass too”. It doesn’t change the fact you can’t.
This would be dope if it was ’06 Eminem. If you ask me, the last great flows from Eminem were on that Re-Up CD. I haven’t really appreciated an Eminem track since ‘No Apologies’. Now, if it were THAT type of Eminem on Kendrick’s album, that would be insane. But since then, dude rapped in accents, tried doing the whole punchline/metaphor bullshit that every other new rapper was doing, then started working with pop artists and pop producers. Em has matured and grown but he has still sold out to an extent. The Slaughterhouse album was a big let down, especially with the Eminem influence on it. He took his formula for ‘Recovery’ and he used it on the SH album. In this day and age, I’d rather NOT see Em on a Kendrick album. And Em’s stanbase can suck my dick if they disagree
“I’d rather NOT see Em on a Kendrick album”
LOL, it’s not really up to you, is it?
^
no shit. We’re talking personal opinions here. I personally don’t give a fuck whether or not he does end up on the album, because maybe it will come out dope. Thanks for reading my post though, but next time reply with something more intelligent, especially if you plan on using HiiiPoWeR for your name.
I have to admit I didn’t read your whole comment, I saw that you had written “the last great flows from Eminem were on that Re-Up CD” and I gave up hope on your comment.
with a name like HiiiPoWeR, i thought you would atleast be an intelligent human being. You’re just like all those other ADHD teenage kids who only listen to the newest garbage rapper out. You’re an embarrassment to the Hip-Hop culture, and shouldnt be allowed to share your own opinions on anything anymore. Idiot.
@Jetlife You just made a whole story of me up in your head based off the little bit of comments I’ve provided… And with the name like “Jetlife” don’t come at me with an argument about “an embarrassment to the Hip-Hop culture”.
People STIll hating eminem just cause hes the dominant white guy and ALOT of your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper lol keep hating…
People are also mad at him for making music that gets constant plays on the TV/Radio, I don’t get why he don’t really owe them shit unless they bought the albums that the songs they’re unhappy about even then don’t buy it if your not going to like it and with the internet you have multiple opportunities to listen to the project before buying it. But them most that hate don’t even pay for the music they’re criticizing so they don’t really have a leg to stand on.
LOL dude wtf are you even saying?? Hes a mainstream world-known rapper EVERY album huge artists put out have 2-4 radio songs are you fucking stupid?? Honestly better recovery singles with meaning and mature message be on the radio than that wack ass my name is and real slim shady and ass like that SHIT that he used to make for the radio…For your info too…recovery went 4x platinum and got heaps of priase from fans and other great rappers. The singles got unreal amount of success thats the only why people hate…the more success the more jealously and wack ass excuses people come up with SIMPLE AS THAT hate all you want…
@g-unit Did you even read my comment? Let me rephrase that, can you read? Please explain when I hated on Em…
I dont see the hype behind Kendrick. ill have to listen to his other albums again but i dont think he deserves this much hype. and wtf is he wearing in the pic on this page? ugly ass shirt
You can’t be everything to everyone at the same time.
Fuck KenDICK LAME-ar! This nigga sucking honkey dick. This niggas album is gunna flop more than a flounder without water! Nigga sign to YMCMB or GTFO! Nobody wana listen to yo boring ass! Old ass looking nigga! Weezy is STILL the KIGN of HIP HOP! Wayne ran circles around M&M’s on that No Love and Forever tracks so STFU!
YMCMB!
Please kill yourself, you retarded ass nigga.
Bitch please. Eminem murked Wayne on Forever and No Love.
cool story bro.
First of all go back to pre-school and learn how to spell “King”.Then go back and listen to No Love and Forever and read the lyrics in which Eminem sublimely murdered Lil Wayne.
So tell me how exactly Lil Wayne is better than Kendrick…?
you sound like a dumbfuck sayn wayne ran circles around EM. wayne is all slow and sluring all over the track. besides i dont matter when even wayne says em is better…face it Rappers are admitting Em is a lyrical Beast. that dude has ocd with words…hes obssesed with words
Next week, Kendrick is going to say Black Rob influenced him, a week later Kool G Rap, and three weeks after that Nelly.
And who the fuck influenced you? Perez Hilton?
LOL FUCKIN FAGGOT
Next week he’ll say Young Jeezy is the GOAT, then Too Short, Gladys Knight, Vanilla Ice, Mac Dre and Kobe Bryant.
Cool story, bro. Tell it again.
every one has said this
just speaking on shady is a publicity stunt
Kendrick didn’t even bring up Shady…
Next month he’ll say Michael Bolton is the Goat, then Brian Mcknight, Ray Parker Jr., Lil Whyte, and Lebron James.
Cool story. Tell it again, bro.
DAMN NIGGA, FUNY AS FUCK NO JOKE, fuck the 2nd anon., dat bitch ass pussy
Y’all mad cause a dude picks his #1 and you disagree.. think about how ignorant that is. You can think Jay, Nas, Wayne, Big, Pac, Z-Ro, Face, or whoever you want is the best of all time.. it’s all in your opinion and how it’s justified to you and only you.. leave this man’s opinion alone..
No great rapper in this world ever hate on Em.. I wonder why he gets praise from all of his peers? Those who came before him praise him.. You sit at home in your computer chair thinking a $10/hr job is big money not doing shit with your life.. Jay-Z and Kanye West on top of the game; Co-sign EM. Redman, Wayne, Talib, Nas, and all of your favorite rappers favorite rappers cosign Em. That’s enough to end these discussions.. He’s an established LEGEND dead or alive he will always be brought up on TOP of all time lists.
I like you Trent.
But let me ask you something: does defending Eminem give you any money or something?!?!
Let me ask you this; does defending ANY rapper give you any money?
^ No!!! That’s why I asked that question, telling how good a rapper is ain’t gonna help you in your life or anything
commenting isnt meant to get you money.. its meant to get your thoughts on a certain subject across…
If yours thoughts were actually inteligent, but all he is doing is dickride Eminem.
I really don’t get how Trent is dickriding here, he’s gave extremely valid points that you can’t disprove. But of course when that happens it must be dickriding… The argument of the dumb.
COSIGN TRENT
NOBODY CARES ABOUT YO LISTS & YO GOAT CANDIDATE ALL U SHOWIN IS THAT WEIRDO IN U

…
Anon i like your list but Kanye is way too high.
His rapping is too mediocre for him to be ever considered GOAT material.
If Kanye is that high on the list then I guess it’s a list of overall ability, Ye’s emceeing ability might be quite low but he’s ability to make GOOD Music is high.
andre 3000 ????
GaydiKKK LAMEar needs to sit down and shut the fuck up. Seriously. It’s the fifth time this year he talks about how he was influenced by an average rapper, that shit’s getting tired.
Hang yourself.
i dont get all the hate on eminem.. or any obviously talented rapper for that matter.. just because you dont like the way they rap, you cant (if your being truthful to yourself, and/or actualy a hip-hop head) in good faith say eminem doesnt have MAD skills… smh.. for example, i think drake sucks giant donkey dick, but at the same time i can admit that he has skills.. there, thats not so hard is it???
lol well said man.. its true though, drake does suck giant donkey dick, but he can rap..
Power 105: Kendrick Lamar
X: Sorry, I don’t know who that is?
Power 105: He’s signed to Dr. Dre
X: (shrugs) O, okay.
… What’s the point in that comment?
Point is everybody is G.O.A.T to this cat, one minute it’s X, one minute it’s Elmvis, next it will be….
Sorry, you’ll have to explain to me who “Elmvis” is…
Is it Elvis’ & Elmo’s lovechild?
^ It’s bedtime Jimmy.
Yr Eminem would be after Ace and not before Ghost
KENDRICK would never do a song with ANYBODY from the Shady/Aftermath/G-Unit camp.
…because?
nigga he got drake on a fuckin song
THERE’S A NEW SUPERGROUP ON THE WAY! KENDRICK THE FROG AND EMINEM ARE EMO LOSERS WHO BLOW OFF DRE FOR A RECORD DEAL. LISTEN TO REAL HIP-HOP LIKE THESE NIGGAZ!

marshall number 1
Only in your wet dreams.
black people just love using the word “dickriding”
I know right. they catch feelings when you “dickride” someone they don’t like, when they probably dickride another rapper just as hard, except it’s some underground backpack prodigy 3 people heard about or some veteran pioneer like Nas. either way it’s not like they’re gonna let you know about it
^ Both y’all go back to your master’s plantation.
was that supposed to be clever? cause you come across as a tryhard bitchnigga.
thats the only thing kendrick lamar has EVER said that makes sense,eminem is the greatest.
i hate the old guy bias in rap. in any other genre of music artists get better with tyme(like everyone one does cause of experience), all the top rappers in the game are over 30, so i realy don tunderstand why hip hop fans hate on older artists (THEY ARE USUALLY MORE TALENTED AND MORE SEASONED BEHIND A MIKE MAKING A BETTER LISTENING EXPERIENCE. caps were for the add to keep their attention, damn kids. kmsl
a.d.d
Kendrick Lamar and Black Hippy are working positive for hip hop, props for the youngers. And what can I say about Eminem? He’s a boss.
