In 2017 rapper Eminem released the album “Revival” which was his ninth studio album. At the time, Eminem sat down with her longtime friend Elton John for a short chat with Interview Magazine. Their conversation began as you would expect, with Eminem greeting John, "How are you, son of a bitch?" And John answering, "I'm fine, you old bastard." The duo continue to discuss some topics, including the current hip hop scene.
The inevitable question of "Who do you listen to now?" Arises when John asks Eminem if he listens to a lot of hip-hop today ("I hear just about everything that comes out" answers.) And, more specifically, who is "doing great things in the world." moment? ”Em's response is almost always predictable:“ J. Paste it. Travis Scott . Kendrick is great. My friend Royce from 5'9 ″ is amazing. Joyner Lucas is very good. Tech N9ne too. ”Replies.
Most of the time, this artist list makes sense to Eminem. Joyner Lucas and Royce specialize and dominate the flow that has drawn fans to Eminem since the beginning of their career. Lucas, however misguided, also fits J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar as agents of social change. Eminem was frank about politics long before his controversial freestyle "The Storm", so those nods also make sense.
JOHN: Do you hear a lot of current hip hop?
EMINEM: I listen to practically everything that comes up.
JOHN: Who do you think is doing great things right now?
EMINEM: J. Cole. Travis Scott . Kendrick is great. My friend Royce from 5'9 “is amazing. Joyner Lucas is really good. Tech N9ne, too.
