Tyler, The Creator regrets criticizing Eminem’s “Recovery” album.
Tyler, The Creator made an appearance on Mav Carter’s Mavericks podcast, where he talked about his desire to apologize to Eminem in person for trashing the album “Recovery” back in 2010.
“After watching [Painkiller on Netflix], I felt so bad about those tweets and things like that because thinking from his perspective, someone like me publicly saying that stuff and him getting off drugs and being clean and getting to a point in his life that that’s behind him and me implying that this shit is wack – he probably felt like I was attacking him,” he said. “I thought I was like I was just like, ‘I don’t like the music.’ He was in a different part of his life and probably felt like I was attacking him.”

He continued, “And now I feel so bad about saying that stuff because my perspective was so limited. And I love him, that dude taught me how to rap. I learned how to put words together in rhythm because of some of the Eminem stuff I was hearing and story telling and things like that. So after watching that show a few months ago, that gave me perspective and I felt so terrible about some of the things I said about the Recovery album because I realized that was a big step.”
“It meant a lot to him and my f–king young stupid a-s was like, ‘I wanna hear “Same Song & Dance” I loved The Eminem Show’ But he’s not there anymore. I felt terrible. If I ever see him, I wanna tell him that in person.”
