Busta Rhymes Says Rappers Are Afraid of Eminem

Postby Koolo2010 » May 20th, '13, 14:33

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Busta Rhymes spoke about the significance guest spots have had on the hip hop industry. The superstar rapper shared his opinion as to why such towering figures like Nas, Eminem and Jay-Z don't feature on as many artists' work as other stars.

"There's one of two reasons to me why the same people appear on every song: one reason is either they're just the hottest dudes, and the other reason is..." he said before pausing. "It's interesting to me that Eminem isn't on a lot of people's sh*t. It's interesting to me that Nas isn't on a lot of people's sh*t. It's interesting to me that Jay-Z isn't on a lot of people's sh*t. A lot of the very dangerously lyrical motherf*ckers. I think there's a fear factor that plays a role, because sometimes you really don't know if you're going to be happy with what you asked for - especially if you might get your a** whooped on your own f*cking record!"

Busta was also asked when he realized features were becoming more and more important.

"A long time ago, especially for the artists that can't carry a record on their own," Busta answered. "And since the era of developing artists has died with record companies over 10 years ago, a lot of dudes had to come out here and figure out how to get hot on their own. A lot of the times, the novelty of a name that's popping in the market is the easiest way. So the feature became more important than the record a long time ago. It's unfortunate, but I think there's a change happening: A lot of the new dudes aren't doing it. They started to realize chasing down a hot motherf*cker was a sh*t-ton of work, cause when a hot motherf*cker think he's hot, they become divas real quick."

If anything Eminem is afraid he isn't relevant to modern hip hop

Thtas why you dont see a Snoop/EM song.
Snoop said after he heard Renegade that he would not collab with EM cause EM would murder him.LOL

I'm not sure I agree with this...

I don't think other rappers are 'afraid' of each other, I think that's just some fantasy concept people talk about.

I always hear other rappers saying they'd love to work with him. In terms of rappers, Em is picky... although he's collaborated more in the last few years than he ever used to.

Also, what's Busta talking about, Jay is on everybody's shit.

Honestly, yeah.
I mean even back in his prime his guest verses were nowhere near his freestyles or his album verses.

Of course, Renegade doesn't count.

His guest verses were still good though.


They're still good now...

What bad guest verse has he done recently?

Everything from 09-now has been badass.

There's only been a few lackluster guest verses in his whole career.

The problem is that Em doesn't collab with rappers nowadays, only popstars.

Obviously he wouldn't care as much about a guest verse isn't that common sense?

The problem is that it takes a whole lot of paperwork to collab with Eminem.

It's clear he was invested in them just as much as he was in his solo shit, also Renegade's verses were not guest verses.

I'm more talking about his approach to some of his guest verses, he doesn't seem to care much about them.

which guest verses are you talkin abt anyways?, how much did Em even collabed outside his friends(xzhibit, obie, 50, dre). he kept it within his circle. Even the guest verse with trick trick was dope.
Now it seems he's not giving his 100% to features
