Eminem responds to a question about the 50 Cent collab album.
Eminem recently made an appearance on SiriusXM for an interview with DJ Whoo Kid for Shade 45’s Detroit Lions pregame special. During the conversation, the rapper was asked about new music, to which he revealed he’s working on something.
“I’m working on a little something,” he said. The rapper was then asked about collab album with 50 Cent, which came as a surprise for him. “50 Cent Eminem collab album. What’s up?,” asks Whoo Kid.
“Where’d that come from? Bro, I don’t know whose idea that was, but that’s crazy,” responds Eminem. “Yo, I’m trying to get him to make another album so bad. We need another 50 album like really bad bro. 50’s on a roll right now. He’s been on a roll since the tour, man. I told him he needs to, whatever he needs from me, I’m here. That sh-t would be crazy though, an album with me and him.”
Last year, 50 Cent teased working with Eminem and Dr. Dre on new material. “Em’s not going to say the s–t the way I say it because it just is what it is,” he said about working with Eminem. “There’s his humble nature — he’d call me and ask to do him a favor and rap with him on a song. Like, “You know I’m on your label, right? Yeah, whatever you need me to do.” He would always ask me, “Could you do me a favor? I always thought it would be dope if we did this together.” I’m like, “All right.”
“I’ll go in and start to record the best music that I can come up with from everybody else,” said 50. “Then I’ll find some pieces, and when I accumulate stuff that I feel like is good enough, I’ll bring it to impress Dre and [his team] to get cooler stuff from [him]. At that point, they’ll go, “I see where you headed.” They already know musically what I’m thinking is the right direction at that point. When I start projects with Dre, I would write to the first song that came on. I don’t care what it was, even if the beat wasn’t finished. I would write the record to break the ice, and we’d have something playing like [Dre] just got here even if he’s been here two or three hours and we got a record playing. He will change the drums and everything that you got there until you got something that’s a hit record.”
