This week, Busta Rhymes said that he had to wait for Eminem’s verse.
“My partner Shaheem Reid reached out to Riggs Morales, who was an A&R at Shady Records at the time,” Busta Rhymes said. “He came by the studio to hear the song, and two weeks later, we finally got a confirmation from Paul [Rosenberg, Eminem’s manager] that Em had got the beat and that he’s fucking with it. A few months passed by, and I got a call from Paul. He wanted to meet me in the studio. He came and played Em’s verse, and I was blown away. “
