Did Prime Em underrate himself?

[OutlawƎ]

I can't really find the story on the internet right now, but I've heard that Eminem said in 2002/2003 that when he heard 50 Cent's music for the first time, it was "so good he wanted to quit rapping"

Am I recalling it wrong?
Was Em just promoting 50?
Was Em serious?

2/10 thread i know, but i'd like to know

Nah but the drugs helped his skills for sure hence prime em

It's a proven fact ecstacy puts your thought process in hyperdrive

it was "Words From Eminem (skit)" from G-Unit's 'God's Plan' and it is in 2002 pack in "list of all eminem songs..." tread in case you wanted to hear it again

Em was just impressed by 50 and by sayin' "I quit" he just ment 50 is fuckin dope

Thanks!

50 was never a great rapper though
How could Eminem be impressed by him when he himself was untouchable back then?

[PAINKILLƎR]

He would try to downplay himself at times

Yeah but it doesn't make you good, it's natural raw talent.

My point exactly it's like rap steroids if you're already good

I'd definitely say so, didn't anyone listen to Till I Collapse?

[yoda you can call me]

Nah, he always knew he was killing it. Just modest, like Menzo said

[Just Silver]

I know I'm just saying the whole experience of drugs changed him

Also I don't he was sober as a judge back then probably smoked and drank

Without a doubt. He wrote most of the MMLP 1 in Amsterdam lmao

Em loves melody... I think what he really loved was 50's dark-ass melodies.

Because when I've heard him seem genuinely excited - it's been over that, like when he talked about the ''Patiently Waiting'' hook where Fif gets a bit angry mid-hook and rips this melody out of it.

And dark-ass melody was a big part of 50's best work and I'd say about the only good part. Because Em sure as fuck couldn't have meant his lyrics or rapping in general @ quit rapping.

Power of the Dollar 50 sounded fly on the mic actually, in spots, but that's about it.
