Eminem Fans Out Over Young M.A’s ‘Red Flu’ EP Lyrics & Superior Rap Skills

    Young M.A is the host of a new Apple Music show called Me Always Radio. For the inaugural episode, she spoke with the rap god himself Eminem and received some unexpected praise during the interview call. M.A, who appeared on the Music To Be Murdered By track “Unaccommodating,” kicked off the interview by thanking him for the opportunity to be on his 11th studio album.

    In turn, Em said, “Thank you for doing it, too. Yo, the EP is crazy.” M.A replied, “Yeah, I also saw that interview with you when you was going back over the lyrics and a couple joints went over your head.” But Shady was ready to talk about M.A’s Red Flu EP, which dropped in May.

    “On the new one, you got so many lines,” he said. “I’m on my third listen through and I’m still catching shit — like, ‘Oh!’ I was telling KXNG Crook this in an interview, I was talking about, you know, there’s an art to this shit we do.

    “When you get your punchlines, however your writing process is, you can always tell somebody who has studied the game and who is a student of it — I told you this the first time we talked — you make your punchlines, there’s no setup or like your setups don’t sound like setups. They sound like punchline after punchline after punchline. That requires a lot of skill and a lot of thought. Your dedication to the craft is unbelievable.”

    M.A goes on to lament the fact nobody is really paying attention to the lyrics anymore and notes so many of her lines are missed because some rap fans are basically too lazy to dissect them. But Em can’t stop praising her and jumps in with a comment about M.A’s September 2019 Funkmaster Flex freestyle. 

    “Like your Flex Freestyle when you was just like, you was just talking and killing it,” Em says. “I was like, ‘God damn!’ I’m so happy for you and all the moves you’re making and the output that you’ve been doing lately is like incredible. The work ethic … yeah, man. I’m a fan and I’m gonna stay a fan. your work output — don’t stop. Every time you drop something, I feel like people put you higher and higher on that list. That’s a beautiful thing.”

    She responds, “I’m trying to stay in this game forever. To me, anything that come fast don’t last, you know what I mean? I’m playing the game by the ropes. I’m watching, I’m observing, I’m paying attention to what’s next, what’s the next move, and I jump right in. That’s how I play it.

    “And I studied the game, studied you. I done watched you. I seen the whole Shady movement. That was crazy! That’s something I grew up on and what motivated me and inspired me to be who I am today. You definitely put input in that, so I appreciate you.”

    Me Always Radio debuted on Tuesday night (August 18). Check out the promo below.

    1. Makes sense he’d like those punchlines when all his are just as trash. What a shell of himself this guy has become.

      1. Eminem is not like he was before, obviously. However his bars and technical skills are way better than what he wrote before.

        1. Take that shit to battle rap then. Is he a technical rapper, sure. But it’s made music far from enjoyable.

            1. So anybody who doesn’t like em’s aged, musty old crap rap is racist?? lol this old shit stain needs to get a key of meth and blast his way to hell.. I hate this guys music because it’s wack, he’s booty, I’m no racist.. white guys make good producers and engineers.. but they shouldn’t rap.. unless it’s in a trailer part flooded with shit and swarmed by blow flies, maggots, silverfish and roaches.. oh and rats.. rats like em.. fuck that guy

      2. Most of the NY rappers who came out in the 90’s were ‘technical’ none of them were battle rappers. Just because you’re ‘technical’ lyrically don’t make you no battle rapper.

      1. weak wack ass old poot spitters like em should retire .. and get back on crack.. he stinks..piss smelling old white boy dope fiends who eat boogers think em is good. lol ( imagine people actually listening to this bum???) lol GTFOH whiteboy.. you’re corny

      1. FUCK ALL STANS.. THIS OLD TURD TUCKER IS CLOGGING THE GAME.. HE’ s LAME.. GO TO HELL.. it’s the death of #WIGGAHOP

    2. Who cares what this washed up loser thinks? He’s mad irrelevant, been for the last 15 years or so

    3. Last year, when Jermaine Dupri said that female rappers are strippers, people were mentioning her, Rapsody, Tierra Whack, etc. However, not only them but NO FEMALE RAP/HIP HOP ALBUM got nominated for any type of award. Looks like history’s repeating this year.

    4. I’ve never listened to Young MA. As much as Eminem drives me nuts these days with his boring music and stupid opinions, if he says someone has dope lyrics, you better believe they aren’t slackers. Whichever song I have heard by her sounded like mumble rap garbage, but maybe she’s worth another listen.

    5. Note to haters: Can you just stop with the white can’t rap BS?
      You live in the past, you can never move forward and you will never get it!. Everything goes over your head, go back to sleep. We won’t miss you!

    6. hiphop jazz’ zaxophione., harmonica., instrumentality.,flutezsz.,
