Kool Keith Talks About Eminem & Jay Z On Shade 45

Kool Keith on Eminem: “It Seems Like He Has a Lot Of Issues With Himself”.

In an interview rapper, Kool Keith of Ultramagnetic MC recounted how he felt when his name was mentioned on Eminem’s single “The Monster.”

“That was good. I thought that was good,” he said before describing meeting Eminem in the mid 1990s. “I saw Eminem one time, I went up to Sway’s house, he was there. He was cool for a minute. That’s before he got large and stuff. I think he was just in the beginning stages, not even recording his album, before he got that deal, the Aftermath deal and stuff. He was real quiet. I went up to Tech’s house and me and [KutMasta] Kurt was over there and he was just quiet. Then he came out the room. That was the last time I saw him, actually. That was years and years ago. Around ‘95 or something. He was really quiet.”

When asked how he viewed the statement, Keith alluded to their mutual love of writing “crazy music.” “Well I guess he thinks he’s more weirder than me [at] making songs that are wild ‘cause I make wild songs,” he said. “I guess he felt more like that’s the comparison the same way he could make that he’s iller than me or something, comparing that he could make a iller record than me. He could say iller subjects. He could write iller things. He can make people say ‘Wow.’”
