While speaking with BET.com about his upcoming album, his collaboration with Eminem, and a handful of other topics, Tech N9ne revealed that Em’s guest verse on his “Speedom (WWC 3)” record didn’t cost him a dime.
According to the Kansas City, Missouri lyricist, the only thing Eminem wanted for his appearance on “Speedom (WWC 3)” was a record swap.
“[Eminem] did the verse for nothing but a swap,” Tech N9ne said while speaking with BET.com “I was flabbergasted cause I know it costs so much to get Eminem and he’s worth every penny, and for him to say, ‘I just want a song from you for this,’ that made me feel really beautiful that he felt like that about my music…I haven’t spoken to this guy since early 2000s or something and it’s just wonderful how that worked out. The fact that he feels like my music is that good that he would wanna do that for me is incredible. For one, do the song for me and then say, ‘no no no no, I just want you to give me a song for this.’ I’m like ‘Yes!’ That feels so good man.”
Although Tech was able to knock out a collab with Eminem, he revealed that there are still a number of artists he hopes to one day collaborate with. Among the artists he mentioned were Jay Z, Lana Del Rey, and OutKast.
“I still want to do something with Jay Z cause I sent him one on this [album], but he couldn’t do it at the time,” he said. “OutKast, if I could ever make that happen. There’s a lot of people I still wanna work with, Jonathan Davis (from Korn), Trent Reznor, Alanis Morissette, Lana Del Rey, Gary Clarke Jr., Collie Budz, I got so many ideas man.”

been saying for years, many collabs are fee waived. think about it when you see khaled and 8 rappers on a song.
Mfers can’t write for shit*anyway good luck wit that Jay verse*he only collabs when it’s going to benefit him*tech although vry dope can’t help the fake god hova*
It would benefit Jay. Tech is no industry scrub, he’s pretty well established and he could definitely make it happen $ wise.
Im Kansas City born & raised. Dont like Eminem at all but they killed this song. I like seeing people give Tech his props and hearing him shine over & next to more nationally known artists.
I feel you on that, but I think Em almost took the song, but Tech got that sexy bald head that makes niggas like us wanna do some gay shit to it
Jay will bankrupt you & he’s not worth it anymore
Is tech bald or not?
I lost respect for the article at the title…since it’s not even the correct title. It’s wwc 2 not 3….proofread
Does this confirm Eminem is working on an album or Iis that reading too far into it?
C’mon Tech. Hear me out, you’ve done hug collabs with many people, how about we get a Tech N9ne and MF DOOM song going??? Please??
