Pharoahe Monch, who is referenced on Eminem’s “Rap God,” recently responded to the track.
“I knew he was going for incredible lyricism like always,” Monch said in an interview with XXL. “But it’s just really about the skills. He took it to another level on that song. The length of the song is bananas. How he shouted me out was just bananas. I thought the song was dope. He really raised the bar yet again.”
Monch also said he is set to shout Eminem out to return the favor.
“I just wanna shout-out Em for shouting me out and showing me love,” Monch said. “I’m sure there are a 100 other people he could’ve chose to shout out there and that’s real big. So I just wanna show him love and say I’m a huge fan.”
During the interview, Monch said he first heard about Eminem from a New York rapper named Mr. Complex.
“He was listening to way more underground artists than I was at the time and he was telling me about Em,” Monch said. “He played me a song with Em about having a body in a trunk, back when it was in the demo stages… Content-wise and skill-wise it just blew me away cause it was so different.”
Earlier this year, Eminem spoke about Monch’s skills during a Town Hall-like interview with Shade 45.
“Pharoahe Monch is incredible,” Eminem said. “And he has been ahead of his time since he came out.”
Dope
yeah ‘RAP GOD’ is defo very sikk.
Nice song but this dude aint no where near a fucking rap god…nigga please…more of a comical rapper to me…..

Eminem > enter your fav rapper :…
pharoahe monch,rakim,talib,redman,nas,jay-z,tech-nyne,kool g.rap, and almost every other respected emcee gives eminem props but i guess you know more about emceeing than those guys right?
They should get married. Likin each others ass.
word that song was one of the craziest of the yr and on the album shit is insane and yet another legendary mc shouts out em and praises him like hell when are haters gonna learn?
Anyone hating on this song needs to tell their mom to shut the hell up for a few min and close the porn on their comps and just listen closely for a few. If after that you still don’t get it; then you just aren’t a real rap fan and are talking shit just to talk shit; and real rap fans are reading your BS and ignoring you. No more hating shit. Please keep up the comments that matter folks. don’t be the reason why the general media hates hip hop and the morons that make us look bad. Some respect to this culture please?? at least an ounce
Check out my song below ft an interview from Drake! Real music that people can relate too!

These legendary MCs need to stop ass licking this clown Eminem.
Pharoahe’s verse on “3-O-Clock” alone slaughters Em’s ENTIRE ALBUM. Do I hear that faggot Feminem praising P’s verse on 3-O-Clock? No, I don’t. Rap God is fucking wack, and all of you dickriders are most likely secret faggots who wants Em’s dick.
preach!!
shut the fuck up, Eminem gave mad props to Pharaoh Monch’s work, which obviously includes that verse and all of his work. you bitch ass hipsters stay losin, if you’re calling high-octane lyricism wack then jump off a cliff cause Eminem could wipe his hairy ass with your opinion.
Did you just pick out a song he didn’t pick and shit on Em? You know how BITCH that sounds….Wow! What happened to respecting and checking out what your favorite rappers considers dope? This doesn’t happen in any other genre BUT Hip Hop. These comment sections are what’s killing this genre as a respectful genre. The fans don’t even respect their own favorite artists! They flip! Pharoahe and Em are both fighting the same fight. Both have strong skills..stop hating and….ehhhh!!!
Pharoahe and Em need to collab! Throw Tech N9ne in that as well. (Yes I know the 3 of them are on The Anthem but they got a bunch of other rappers on there).
yah, bunch of other dope emcee’s. that track was for a radio show so not really a real collab.
Kool G Rap killed that shit.
MAN PUHLEEZ.. you deserve more than just a shout out my boi. I always said, if I had to choose 3 Mc’s to go to battle in this new era from 2g til present, I would pick EMINEM cus he’s my number 1 since pac passed, you, self explanatory! your skills are just ridiculous, and Crooked I. Other than em, you and Crooked are str8 beast. MUCH RESPECT. I was happy as hell he mention your name. Im waiting on a colabo now.. hip hop has truly been a breathe of fresh air when it comes to you three.
eminem has been a pharoh monch fan for years and shouted him out back in the day on that show sponsored by phat farm, I cop’d internal affairs around that time, very good album
“I’ve been dick-riding glalore, Mos Def, Nate Dogg and Pharoooh”
How much did he get paid by Paul to say that shit!!!! lol
Not one real rapper has commented on that shitty corny POP GOD yet. LMFAO
Hate is a bitch emotion. Em’s rap peers have said that song is hard, some have made thier own version. Yoiu sound like a bitch bruh
So Pharoahe isn’t a real rapper now? You hipsters flip flop so much it’s ridiculous.
hate aint a bitch emotion shut the fuck up you fucking child.
lmfao. look at real being a domesticated male. hate is being alive bitch.
Wait because he said u were ahead of ur time? u know that song sucked?

Em makin sure to play nice with all the m.c. niggas that can body him
Andre 3k > em

Never happend
Any fucking day. Given the same creative freedom, a lot of rappers would outshine em.
^^^^ I highly doubt that you fucking tard!
3k?… lol hes good but he aint on ems level lol you one of those back packers who just hate em for being the successful white boi?
You mean that goofy looking weirdo with all those wack ass songs, and horrible acting skills? lol Eminem on drugs is better than Andre on nothing.
I don’t care, Monch’s better than both of them anyway. Damn his flow is just incredible. Better producer too, just for the record.
DO NOT SUPPORT WHITE FOLK!!
Damn! Even p-monch riding dick now?
Sorry day for hip hop now …
There’s something called respect in this game. If you don’t understand this, you probably don’t understand hip-hop at all.
EM = GOAT
Dead or alive
