Re: Best of Eminem?
Eminem: I had bought Lil Wayne's album, but I was so busy recording that it literally just sat in my CD case until like six months ago. There was the hype about him, but I didn't see what all the hype was about. I felt like he was good, certainly above average from his singles, but it was like, "Is he that dope?" Then I listened to the whole album and was like, "Wow! My man is that dope�Lil Wayne is f**king dope!" You've got to listen to a Lil Wayne song four, five, or six times to actually catch everything he's saying. We were at a video set a couple months ago and I'm bumping it in the trailer and I'm like, "Yo, Wayne is dope!" And Paul is like, "Really? You're just now figuring this out? Where the f**k have you been?" They think it's funny, but you know, being sober, my eyes have opened up to so much more s**t that I was missing, that I should have been hip to.
�I did feel like hip-hop was kinda going through a drought,� Em told �Big Boy�s Neighborhood� on Tuesday. �At the same time I felt there were certain artists that were out over the past few years that really got better.�
Among those was Lil Wayne. �When he first came out, you could see the potential and you could kinda see where it was gonna go,� said Slim Shady. �Lil Wayne got dope out of nowhere. It just happened really fast. Within the last couple of years, artists like him and Kanye kinda crept up. From [Wayne's] first album to the progress that he�s made to now.�
