Danny Brown speaks on getting inspiration from Eminem.
Danny Brown was the latest guest on FLAGRANT Podcast for an interview with Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh, along with AlexxMedia and Mark Gagnon. Among other wildest stories in the conversation, they also talked about Eminem exploding in Detroit and how Brown changed his styles after him.
“You’re in Detroit, Eminem starts to explode, did Detroit give it up for him or did that or it came from the outside first,” asks Schulz.
“It came from outside first definitely,” says Brown. “But I would say when Eminem came out, it gave me hope. I was like damn my ni**a from Detroit made it. I changed my whole rap style after that like the whole high-pitched me is came from Em. I’m like oh this is about to be a style of Detroit. I’m like he’s about to be the spearhead of this sh*t so let me convert to this sound like I probably didn’t rap like the way I rap now before Eminem came out and I just studied Eminem tried to rap I would literally just try to rap like Eminem.”

He continued and addressed the hate for Eminem on the internet, “I feel bad about how they try to treat him now. I feel this is the most purest of him being in hip-hop, to be honest. He’s just being, he’s having fun, he don’t have no pressure to make hit songs or like to be like a big rapper. Before you had all that sh*t, now he’s obviously just making music to have fun because he wouldn’t do he got all the money in the world. They’re trying to make him like a meme and like joke. That kind of sh*t would make me not want to make music right. The fact that he’s still making music, like f**k everybody, he probably is not an internet guy like we are so he probably don’t see none of that sh*t. That sh*t kind of hurts my heart man, because he don’t deserve that sh*t.”
