Joe Budden Radio Interview on Em, Everything Else

[Amaranthine]

I typed out the part on Em because there are probably people who are most interested in that part and don't want to have to skip around and find it. Audio interview's here.

"Slaughterhouse going to Shady was perfect, because we were able to do what we wanted to do, and that be it."

How's your relationship with Em, man? Describe your relationship with Eminem.
"Extremely supportive. Easily the most humble person - one of the most humble people I've ever met. Easily one of the most meticulous people I've ever met, very sociable."

Meticulous in what manner?
"Every manner, he's like a serial killer. He's probably twenty times more meticulous than a serial killer would be. I tell him, I say 'If you wasn't rapping, I'm certain you'd be a serial killer'. I've never...he would probably come wipe the seat, clean this shit right now."

So he gets focused.
"Yeah, I swear he might have a condition. I've never seen anything like it, in life.

Right. And I can imagine that goes into his writing as well.
"Yes. His writing, his producing, his mixing...he applies that to everything."

Now Eminem is no laughing matter, you're working with Eminem. What did you pick up from Em, man?
"One of the greatest. So much...Em told me to let certain bars breathe, it helped a lot. Helped a lot with the writing, with the writing style, helped a lot on just song-making, what he's listening for. His ear, him and Royce, that's one thing I commend those brothers for, their ear for music is just different. They're able to hear different pockets in music that us normal people can't hear, which enables them to rhyme the way that they do, and as result, I now hear things differently than I've ever heard them before."

I like how everyone makes Eminem out to be some "God of Rap" and try to say how he's such a perfectionist yet his recent works have been pretty garbage.

Next thing we know, people are going to be telling us that Eminem speaks to the beat.

I think he is really a perfectionist still, but what change is his idea of what's good, of what he should perfect his performance enough to get to, his standards of what's good changed.

when he started to like rappers like Wayne and Drake, his idea of good rapping changed so much, while making Relapse he didn't even like Wayne or understood what's good about him, later when he realized he was "good"(1) his brain started to see wackiness as goodness.

I mean, he said he liked Drake's verse on Forever a lot

(1) to quote him "I had bought Lil Wayne's album, but I was so busy recording that it literally just sat in my CD case until like six months ago. There was the hype about him, but I didn't see what all the hype was about. I felt like he was good, certainly above average from his singles, but it was like, "Is he that dope?" Then I listened to the whole album and was like, "Wow! My man is that dope—Lil Wayne is fucking dope!" You've got to listen to a Lil Wayne song four, five, or six times to actually catch everything he's saying. We were at a video set a couple months ago and I'm bumping it in the trailer and I'm like, "Yo, Wayne is dope!" And Paul is like, "Really? You're just now figuring this out? Where the fuck have you been?""
