Eminem: 'Macklemore Is Dope'

Have you heard “Same Love”?
Have I heard what?
“Same Love,” by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis?
What song is that?
It’s, um, the gay-marriage song.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’ve heard Macklemore’s whole album.
What do you think of it? He’s probably the most successful white rapper since you.
Uh, he’s really dope. Macklemore is, yeah, he’s dope.
You won respect in part by being technically amazing – I’m not sure everyone in hip-hop sees him that way yet.
I think there’s very technical shit that he does. He’s a really good songwriter, too. Conceptually, the shit he does is pretty fuckin’ incredible.

Macklemore was psyched, to say the least, when he read Eminem's comments in his copy of the magazine. "I really want to Instagram that quote, but Ryan told me I shouldn’t," Macklemore tells Rolling Stone. "I think I still might. What meant the most to me out of all that shit, is what he said about the technical stuff, and the songwriting. Because I think a lot of people do, for whatever reason, think that there’s not a technical skill set to what I bring to the records. And to have Em validate that – I mean, that’s like the technician of technical rap. So that was super fresh to me. And obviously he’s Em, he’s one of the best rappers ever."

I guess I'd agree with him. Macklemore's concepts are great, usually.

[HeySamantha]

I don't think he's as bad as people think he is

[Never_Enough]

Macklemore is dope for real, and Ryan's production is really really good.
I hope Em collabs with him, maybe for Mack's next album.

[yoda you can call me]

em always says rappers are dope in interviews though, he still insists lil wayne and kanye are dope lol. what he says and what hes thinking are probably 2 different things in these scenarios

[Kill You]

True, he is nowhere near as bad as people make him out to be lol. He can actually rhyme quite well and craft a good story.

[babyjane]

He said Lady Gaga was dope. He describes everyone he's asked about as "dope" these days.

[Trimss]

Yelawolf and Eminem on a hard ass dark beat. Just picture it.

[emusic]

Why Ryan didn't want him to instegram it? he's silly.

[eviltwin]

I can't remember the last time he was asked about a rapper and didn't say they were dope but it's still cool for Macklemore haha

THIS.

And of course the first thing they asked was his opinion about "Same Love". So obvious.

[Kill You]

Macklemore is dope for real, and Ryan's production is really really good.
I hope Em collabs with him, maybe for Mack's next album.

I'd rather have 5 more Wayne collabs. It would just be too corny.

I won't lie I don't like him. I don't think he's "bad", but I just really don't like him

This is how I feel, kinda. I like him a little bit and would listen to new songs from him and everything. But I don't like him a whole lot lol.

[Infinitestrife]

He always shows love to new artists. I believe him when he's says Macklemore's dope though. The Heist was pretty good.

[Amadeo]

He said Lady Gaga was dope. He describes everyone he's asked about as "dope" these days.

Pretty much.

The Eminem that emerged in 2008, up until now, is concerned only with bringing attention to his music. He despises interviews/publicity and makes an effort not to have an interesting personality or interesting opinions outside of the music.

[Atone]

Honestly, it seemed like after they finally said it was by macklemore was when he suddenly got into "he's dope" mode, he doesn't even remember hearing the song, so

1. I doubt he's even heard any Mackelmore song,
2. if you asked him his thoughts on MC Bubba The Love Sponge and his song Stingray Pussy, he'd say it was dope
3. Eminem is not a fan of any of these new rappers, exept Kendrick,

[SoldierShady]

Eminem just doesn't want beef with anyone. He calls every rapper dope lol.
