Logic and Big Boy discuss today’s generation’s hate on Eminem and more.
Logic recently dropped his brand new album “Vinyl Days“, and he now made a visit to Big BoyTV for a new interview with the legendary host. The two discuss several topics, including an upcoming tour with Wiz Khalifa, performing at The Grammy Awards, investing in crypto, receiving a letter from Congress for his song 1-800-273-8255, and more.
They also talked about today’s generation and how they hate Eminem and other OGs of Hip-Hop. “A couple of years ago, the internet was making fun of Eminem cause it was just a fun thing to do,” said Logic at around the 45-minute mark. “They were like ‘oh lets make fun of Eminem… he’s too lyrical-miracle’ like what? I’m like, I’m in bizarro world.”

Then Big Boy responds and says that Detroit would’ve been the biggest thing ever had he died in his prime. “It’s crazy cause we had this conversation and I said ‘man Eminem is crazy, how people come at Eminem?!’ And I remember Eminem just what the world felt like. The grasp he had and I tell people sometimes, not to take this wrong way, I say ‘you know what happened to Eminem bro? He lived. If Eminem had passed, you understand what I’m saying and I don’t clickbait or sh*t, none of that, if he had passed in so called ‘prime’ he would have been the biggest thing not only in genre but in the world but he lived and he became old school. And I don’t think he is sitting at home at every moment worried about this. Does he want a hit record? Probably. That’s Eminem. But also Eminem can come up and announce a tour tomorrow and it’s done.”
“I didn’t even know Eminem knew who I was when I met him a couple of years ago,” responds Logic. “He shouted me out on a record. And I was like ‘Oh my gosh, this is amazing.’ And the next day we are on a song together. He’s one of the illest dudes. He’s so nice and when I met him I was all nervous I was like ‘yo am I being weird?’ He was like ‘nah man, you’re cool.’ Then we talked about rap and I’m like ‘am I being weird now?’ he’s like ‘no, you are fine!’ And then we talked about some other sh*t and I was like ‘am I being weird?’ and he was like ‘Now you being weird.’”
Due to his skin tone, Eminem struggled to establish himself in the hip-hop and rap scenes. Eminem struggled to combat this stereotype since he is white. He was frequently viewed as superior and wealthy to many, and coming into the scene where the more disadvantaged you are from the start, the higher success you’ll have. Eminem’s rival rappers used every chance to disparage him as a rapper by using his race as an abuse.
In an interview, KXNG Crooked states that people love to hate Eminem and try to push him out of the culture. “Eminem is always in the talks,” says KXNG. “I don’t care, they love to hate him. And a lot of people have been trying to push my homie out of the culture. They have been making sly remarks, people with platforms. And this ain’t just me speaking from a homeboy level, this me speaking as a fan and a technician myself. You can’t push Marshall out of the game. He’s one of the greatest pens to ever exist in Hip-Hop, and it ain’t gon change no time soon. They always get me when I talk about Em. But Eminem is one for sho. Royce got nominated for a Grammy, so you know his pen was going crazy.”
