Ace Hood Names Kendrick & Eminem In Top 5 Rappers on Nick Cannon Show.
South Florida rapper and fitness star laid down his Top 5 list for Nick Cannon. Ace Hood stopped by Nick Cannon’s Morning Show for an exclusive interview session. The Rapper talks about protest and speaking out against the death of George Floyd and social injustice. He also about the late Rapper Nipsey Hussle’s ‘Victory Lap’ as 1 album he can bump to for the rest of his life and highlights Eminem and Kendrick Lamar in his top 5 list.
Ace Hood on Nick Cannon’s radio program was asked one of the most basic questions in hip hop, and the top three answers he came up with off the top of his head were Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, and Eminem. Nick Cannon was offended by Marshall’s namesake, but he recognized that Wayne, Kendrick, and Eminem are all exceptional rappers and lyricists. Ace Hood took longer to add 2Pac to the list and, surprise, to end it with Bob Marley.

“I think that it’s important that we recognize what it is that we feel. To be able to move through it or heal that experience. Also, I want people to be able to see themselves within these stories and these experiences,” Ace Hood told HotNewHipHop about his project M.I.N.D. “If we want new experiences, new things in life, new blessings in our life, I think it’s important to kind of heal those old memories.”
“Oh, man. Really, I think that it’s my journey, man,” he said about what inspired him about the project. “I think just trusting the process. I think dealing with so much just being independent – so many lessons, so many things that I’ve learned. I think going to therapy, healing. Doing different things [and] learning so much about myself. Learning so much about my childhood. Learning so much about things that kept me restricted. Processing my thoughts and things that I see in the world, socially. It’s been some time since I actually released music in a project.”
“I wanted to take people through my mind state and through my mindset and speak from a human perspective, on a human level. On what I feel like may be experiences or things that’s kept me low level on how I recognize these things, work through these things, and move through these thoughts and ideas. So the title of the EP is Memories Inside Never Die. It’s kind of like, I’ve recognized and healed these particular low-frequency vibrations to be able to walk myself into a new space. If you don’t heal these things, if you don’t take care of them or pay them some attention, like, the memories inside never die, which they do revisit. It’s kind of like just me giving you a human experience of what I went through.”
