Back to this XXL issue, Em had some kind words for Lil Wayne and T.I. in his interview:
"I stayed up on the music, and obviously I watch TV and saw what was going on. And without naming any name, it just felt like hip-hop was going downhill. And it seemed like kinda fast. You know, in them three years, it was like everybody just cares about the hook and the beat; nobody really cares about substance. But with this new T.I. album, with this new Lil Wayne album of recent, it seems like things are looking a lot better now. You can appreciate Lil Wayne using different words to rhyme and actually rhyming words that you know. Or T.I., where you hear shit and you’re like Whoa, ah, I wish I would have thought of that! You know what I mean? Or you hear all the compound-syllable rhyming and all that. It just seems like now the craft is getting cared about more."
This was a VERY PC response from Em. Do we really believe that Eminem thinks Paper Trail and Tha Carter III saved Hip-Hop?? Of course not. Well, I hope not at least. The would be just sad lol.
