Jan 23, 2016 Reminds me of something @rapmusik or @akio would say when they get all caught up with their inside stories
Jan 23, 2016 Maybe I'm confusing you with someone else not sure but aren't you always so strong opinioned when it comes to what goes on behind the scenes with Eminem like you're his best friend
Jan 23, 2016 There's also this: Anderson .Paak: “Medicine Man” is a crazy story. That was one… There are always those records that are in danger of not making it and then they end up being one of the best joints on the album. That right there was running the risk of not making the album all the way up until the last day. There was some communication issues with the second verse and Em wasn’t sure. Like, they thought he heard the new version but he didn’t, and I believe at one point Em wasn’t going to be on the record at all. But then he took it upon himself to really go in on that track. And at first, he had inserted an old verse from previous recordings—’cause there’s like a vault of recordings—he put in an older version and Dre left it, but there was a bridge they didn’t like. So I wrote my little part and I wasn’t even sure what they were going to think. That was a process. And when Em finally heard it he was like, “Woah.” He loved everything about it. So he wrote that crazy verse.
Jan 23, 2016 Dre being pissed off with Em working with Rick Rubin on MMLP2 is total bs considering the fact Dre performed at Wembley with Em after its release.
Jan 23, 2016 JMG is a liar And maybe MM is the only beat eminem was really feeling Koolo REACHInG to get more traffic
Jan 23, 2016 reaching? to get traffic? what? how am i reaching? so everything between Em and Dre is good and all? dre gave Em like 1 beat in the last 5 years
Jan 23, 2016 They probably did become more distant after Em got sober/relapse didn't do as good as they wanted and eminem got different producers etc etc There's a lot of speculation you can do but the Compton soundtrack seems the least plausible
Jan 23, 2016 but Em is the one who kept telling fans for over 10 years that dre album is coming..he did with encore..and did it with i need a doctor..then dre went around and made an album with kendrick and few other people..and like someone else said in this thread, em verse felt like a last minute thing
Jan 23, 2016 And it sounds like Eminem wrote dre's verse on medicine man so I don't think dre was dissing him on it
Jan 23, 2016 hows that a diss? pretty sure i saw an interview where dre was saying he got someone to help him with Ems part because he needed it to be theatric and huge.
Jan 23, 2016 I'm pretty sure it's as simple as Dre knows Eminem will sell no matter what so it doesn't matter if he f---s up his own album but he ain't going to let him screw his album. He prob has numerous different verses from him over different beats but this was the only one that was any good.
Jan 23, 2016 sounds like the original verse was from the relapse era imagine how pissed people would've been if his verse had the accent
Jan 23, 2016 I wish a solo version would surface with the original verses Em sent and a bridge. The song does feel like people were treating it too much like work. That hurry up and put this together process left the vibe inorganic. I want a work of art rather then a body of work.
