So Em isn't on Tech's new album...

[Francesco]

It sucks indeed but it was confirmed recently anyway... Next albums I guess.

No, probably 'scheduling issues' again hm?

He had plenty of time to do TWO Pink songs, THREE Rihanna songs and TWO Lil Wayne songs though... at this point, even for me - it's getting hard to defend or justify the fact he raps for what he says he raps for (the respect, hip-hop) when he goes out of his way to work with pop stars and huge names and dog shit rappers and ignores smaller, though entirely well-known and very well-respected legends within hip-hop practically begging him.

Paul, if you ever do read this shit - you and Em are full of shit. Do some real hip-hop cunts.

agrrrreeed

I saw this one coming, Em just doesnt wanna get MURKED.

I wouldn't be quick to say Eminem is afraid to do a song with him. However, I do believe there is definitely something to it. Whether it be him personally or management or whatever, something is up as to why he won't do a song with Tech imo

Agreed.

Something is going on. I don't feel like he's afraid, but I don't buy the "scheduling issues" excuse anymore than anyone else does.

I don't think that's true or he wouldn't rap with Slaughterhouse, and Yela; they can all sometimes give him a run for his money now and then these days, and he signed 'em and raps with 'em.

I reckon it's to do with how big the name is... I don't think Tech is 'big enough' for his management or the label to deem him 'worthy of an Em feature' and somehow think it may 'lower his profile' or something stupid like that... because there was something similar with Masta Ace and he said Em's team said something like 'it just ain't gonna happen' to him or some shit...

Sad state of affairs. Stop being a fucking whipping boy for corporate creeps Em, you don't need them!

[AbramIsaac]

^ I remember reading about the Masta Ace thing.

Even when Eminem is the one that wants to do the feature, they make it difficult. Trick Trick had to sign to Interscope just to get clearance to put "Welcome 2 Detroit" on his album, because Interscope wouldn't let him have an Eminem feature as an independent artist.

If I had to make a guess, I would say that the only reason Royce da 5'9 got Eminem on "Writer's Block" in 2011 was that they were working on the Slaughterhouse deal.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

Eminem rapping with Slaughterhouse is purely business, If SH were on another label, Em wouldn't rap with them, its obvious.

das some ol bullshit

[JUMPDMC]

Pretty sure Tech said he wasn't going to get him for this album and wanted to wait for a later one

Yeah he did say that.

[Whitefox]

Good. Em would've just done that double-time, stop the beat/emphasize-the-punchline shit that's oh so overused anyway

Agreed. There is nothing good to expect from him on features nowadays, honestly. I dont wanna to hear some shitty Em verse which he wrote just for the fuck of it. And this doubletime thing is getting pretty annoying, i dont want him to do this anymore. This is just not his style.

[Whitefox]

Who cares when he did it last time? He could do it on Tech's collab again, which is 80 % possible.

Yeah but what I'm saying is, I don't think he's 'scared' to get on a track with anyone.

I think all the 'non features' like Tech are business too.

[Whitefox]

lol, yeah i did.
