Joey Badass praise Eminem on Shade 45.
Joey Badass is currently on the promo run for his latest album “Lonely At The Top”, which failed to make a mark on the charts. The rapper made an appearance on Shade 45 for an interview with DJ Whoo Kid, where he was asked about his favourite Eminem album.
“Infinite, that right there, had me in a cobra clutch when I was coming up. Infinite and The Slim Shady LP, those are my favourite bodies of work from Em,” he said.
“Shout out to Em, man. Listen, that’s a GOAT. That’s a Rap God right there, you know what I’m saying? So, salute. I never met Em but…,” he added.
In a recent interview with Brian B.Dot on the Cover Lines podcast, Badass called 2025 the best rap year of this decade. “I would say 2025 is one of the greatest years we had in rap. I would even say 2025 is the best year in this decade for the rap,” said Badass. “We got two Westside Gunn joints. We got JID, we got Clipse doing the reunion joint, Larry June & 2 Chainz, Chance the Rapper… Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist…”
